NFL Week 3!

I dunno what the big news is this week. I guess Marion Barber is hurt or something. Crabtree is still sitting at home.

I don't think it's a must win for the Titans, yet, but at 0-2 they gotta start doing some work.

The Browns play the Ravens. I think that makes Maghee, Rice and McLain all viable fantasy options. I mean, they made Buckhalter look like college Reggie Bush last week.

If Crabby sits out & re-enters the draft, is he drafted in Rd 1?

I'd love to see him drafted in mid 2nd & demand top $$$.

Saints at Bills. Assuming that Trent Edwards does not get trapped under something before game time, it will be the first time this season that the Saints play a QB who has started an NFL game.

And, as a side note, you know that two small market teams are playing when they are both East Coast teams and the NFL schedule still sticks them with a 4:00 game.

Under normal circumstances there is no way he would have a chance to make up the money he losses sitting out this year.

Then it seams that nobody really knows because of the possibility for an uncapped year. Found this info on Crabtree from Adam Schefter.

Quote:
If Goodell did away with the rookie salary cap in the spring, one of the players that would be most directly impacted would be holdout wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Some league executives believe that Crabtree's situation could turn into one straight out of baseball, similar to what Stephen Strasburg went through with the Washington Nationals. Strasburg told the team what he wanted, and teams around baseball knew it. Some believe that, if Crabtree were to re-enter a draft without a rookie pool, he could tell teams his price and essentially tell teams not to bother drafting him unless they're willing to meet his demands. Plenty would have to happen to reach that point, but it's not inconceivable that it will.

Really looking forward to the Vikings-49ers game this week. Adrian Peterson vs. Patrick Willis will be great to watch.

Not sure you've got an argument here - Redskins @ Giants was at 4:00 in week 1.

Bengals/Steelers... the Steelers have not been able to run the ball, and for once the Bengals actually have a defense for this game though they are not the pass rushing machine that the leaky Packers line made them out to be. I'm expecting 13-10 or something like that, and hoping against a 28-9 type Steelers domination.

I'm also hoping that someone proves the Ravens to be a fluke, because they just kinda piss me off generally speaking.

I stand corrected. The lesson, as always, is I have no idea how the NFL decides what games to play and when to play them and where to show them. It's like advanced calculus to figure out sometimes.

I was excited to see the Chiefs/Eagles game this week to see Maclin, but it doesn't look like he's getting a lot of action. Hopefully this is the week he plays more.

Now THAT logic I can get behind .

To be fair - your logic may be right. And they just want that game stacked against some other big national game, like the WAS @ NYG game was. I have no idea.

The Steelers are pissing me off with their pitiful offensive line and no running game. They rely too much on their defense and Ben. More balance is needed. This will be a close game, and I would not at all be surprised to see Cinci win it.

I will be going to the Lions-Redskins game. Only because I have free ticket. And it will be in a suite.

It's going to be some bad, bad football.

I know it would never happen, but I would love to see him go undrafted. Too many douches in the league already.

Giants go on the road to Tampa. A little worried about a letdown on the road here, but the best QB in the known universe will get it done.

I would like to see Jacobs get on track. considering Manningham and Smith both had over 100 yards last week the Bucs will have to change their gameplan a bit so that should open things up for the running game.

After Tampa comes KC and Oakland at home, so get past this game and it looks like 5-0.

anything is possible, however unlikely.

Outside of the Broncos/Raiders game (for obvious reasons), the game that interests me the most is the Falcons/Patriots.

This is a chance for the Falcons to fully announce that they've arrived. Beating the Dolphins and the Panthers is nice and all, but you go on the road and beat the Patriots, you've done something. As for the Patriots, I still believe they have a ton of holes on defense, but more than that I want to see how they respond to a defeat. This is a team that's lost back to back games once since 2003.

The 49ers/Vikings, Titans/Jets and Panthers/Cowboys are all interesting games to me as well.

I'm excited to see the Falcons up here this week. Really looking forward to this week's game as I think the Patriots defense has looked suspect when a team is willing to make good decisions against them. I am looking forward to seeing what the Falcons offense can do.

The only thing I fear is that the Falcons defense is not that great and we end up with a 35-31 type game where the team with the ball last wins.

Which streak? The overall losing streak, or the one where they haven't beaten the Redskins since 1823, when they were know as the Portsmouth Wapoles & Boston Curmudgeons?

A Billy "White Shoes" Johnson throwback would be pretty sweet too.


I think my first sports poster featured good ol' Steve Bartkowski.

Three?

We could then expect his season to end in about the second quarter of the Packers' upcoming game with the lowly Rams.

Sad. The guy had so much potential.

Well considering only 1.6% of teams that start 0-3 have EVER made the playoffs going back to 1960 this is pretty near a must win. They loss this one they have games away @ Jags ,Colts @home and @NE. It looks like that lmeans 2-4 at best 0-6 at the worst which equals season over.

I remember when McCarthy was offensive coordinator of the Saints. He was great at drawing up plays 1, but was stubborn as a mule. He struck you as the kind of guy who would rather lose than change his system. Kind of a junior Mike Martz.

And, with that in mind, I feel for Rogers. Clearly, the Packers need to change their system to account for the fact that young QBs who get sacked a bunch become David Carr. But I can see McCarthy convincing himself that his plays are genuis and that the problem is his players not executing. And the thing is, he might even be right. But a better coach would accept the reality of his players and adapt his system to it. Unless he has matured a bit, McCarthy is not that coach. Bet the over on Rogers' career concussions before Vegas catches on.

1. I mean, the guy made Aaron freakin' Brooks look like a decent QB for a couple of years. He has mad play calling skills.

Honestly, I think that it will depend on if Carolina has a good enough draft choice to go QB. I think that Cowher spent enough time in Pittsburgh with bad QBs that he would not want to go through that again. If he can coach with Big Ben again (McCoy, Bradford), he would probably jump at the chance. If he has to live through Kordell Stewart and Tommy Maddox again (Jake Delhomme), he'll say thanks but no. Just my 2c.

well they have no 1st rounder in next year's draft I believe thanks to that stupid trade they did with SF during this year's draft. Cowher seems a logical choice for Carolina, but I was surprised when he returned to TV this year and he seems to enjoy doing it.
