First game Thursday.
Get your pools and FFL lineups set.
Harrison is a nice lad.
If the Eagles defense looks bad, then this Saints defense is just pop warner. What a joke they are.
maybe it's just me, but Reggie Bush looks bigger, stronger...and slower
Why are some players wearing a C patch on their unis and others aren't?
they have cancer

I thought the same and it was confirmed when he couldn't turn the corner off tackle and burn Rob Morris. Last year, Morris just misses him and he gains another six yards..this year, Morris wraps him up.

I'd take Fujita in a heartbeat.
Nice play by Raheem Brock. What could have been if the Eagles got/kept him and Burgess.
Peyton looks like Peyton....
Not too sure who the Saints QB is though ???

I'd take him too, because his name is cool. But as a LB? Noooooo.
Madden was surprisingly cogent tonight.

The Colts do that to everyone though, including the Eagles whenever they happen to meet. What did strike me though was how good the Colts D was... they kept last year's top offense out of the endzone the whole game.

They were all over the place. It's like they had about 15 players on the field on D. If their defense plays even half as well the rest of the year as they did tonight then they'll be really damn tough to beat.
Watching the fraudulent farging Saints get their goddamn doors blown the hell out was almost as pleasurable as watching the game in a titty bar with a free buffet.
Watching a game in a titty bar would be impossible as it would be unforgivable to take your eyes off either. Unless you've got one of those crazy eyes that would allow you to do both.
It was my buddy's 40th birthday party and that's where he wanted to go.
Whatever. . . buffet, football, booze (all free, btw). . . not a bad way to spend a Thursday night even in this godforsaken hell hole.

You never are as good or as bad as you look. I'd say the Colts won't look as great as they did tonight and the Saints won't look as bad, but I still think the Saints played over their heads last year. Brees is good, but not that good, and their defense flat out sucks. Will Smith is pretty good, but Charles Grant is the epitome of average, and they have no LBs or secondary. On offense, Colston has to prove he isn't a one year wonder and Henderson is nobody special.
If you can contain Bush their offense goes to shtein because he is what opens up that entire offense. Their defense can be cooked all day long.

Madden was surprisingly cogent tonight.
And looking trim too. I was half expecting Micheals to tell him, 'that suit doesn't make your butt look big at all, John."
This should serve as a nice reminder that people were expecting the Saints to suck pretty bad last year, and they just might fulfill that expectation this year.
How bad did Brees look, the guy has a worse noodle arm than Garthia. Henderson wont get used at all in that offense since Brees cant throw more than 20 yards
umm you guys are over reacting after one game. i doubt this game will be any indication of the saints season. they have too many weapons. they were just playing a superior team.
as good as it was to watch the saints lose....that farger brees already lost me my week 1 matchup in FF.
i didnt get their game plan at all...all they did was screens and short dump off passes. did they even attempt a deep pass?
Ellis Hobbs just ran back a kickoff 108 yards to start off NE's second half.
Pennington just got hurt - managed to hop off the field but unable to put any weight on his leg (didn't even wait for an injury time out). Not a doctor, but judging from the replay, it could easily be a season-ender.
The Jets fans gave a big ovation when the back-up QB went on the field.
Like I said, I'm no doctor. According to Yahoo, Pennington's back in the game. :-D
Nothing unexpected, but Kansas City and Atlanta are god-awful this season.
Joey Harrington has two pick-sixes thus far.
Houston 20, KC 3. Getting painful.
Cleveland still sucks
Randy Moss: 9 catches, 183 yds, 1 TD. Unmotivated.
LT TD....14-3 Chargers
Garcia and Cadillac injured at Seattle
Texans 1-0
Lions 1-0
Packers 1-0
taterskins 1-0
Vikings 1-0
Eagles 0-1
Saints 0-1
Bears 0-1

One of these things is not like the other...
Dallas's secondary is toast
Ouch. You know your secondary is bad when Plexiglass beats you deep ugh.

That sucks, hes the Miami guy who shredded his knee last year in training camp.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Eli to Plax early looks good. I actually liked his TD act .
cowboys look like shtein
Their season is over too.
Brandon Jacobs out with a sprained Knee :paranoid

I guess my money league season's over too.
wow, reports are Mike Brown has a torn knee. I really feel bad for him, he's always been a gamer, but never been healthy
TO is good.
The week's passing and rushing leaders are Josh McCown and Chris Brown. :sly
So do the Giants and Cowboys just have no defense, or what?
We knew that going in. Well the people who know football did. Every year people just suddenly think the Cowboys will have a good defense. It sucks.
It just got worse. Jason Ferguson is done for the year (torn bicep)
High bodycount in that game. For the Giants, Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, Osi Umenyiora, and Kevin Dockery all had to leave.
Manning is getting an MRI on his bruised shoulder. Jacobs apparently damaged his MCL, and the extent of that is still unknown.

Is someone going to have to die before they start enforcing spearing rules? There is no excuse - the league is willing to crack down on touchdown celebrations, but not on plays that are putting their most valuable assets at risk.
It is this simple: if helmet contact does not include face mask contact it is a personal foul. See what you hit.

The Jets need to hire two guys with white Gatorade towels to stand over their signal guy
FOXSports reporting Everett's doctors say he'll be at least partially paralyzed barring a miracle
Orlando Pace, Mike Brown, Dusty Dvoracek and Yeremiah Bell all done for the year
Eli Manning rumored to be out a month
yeah, i just saw all of them scroll by on ESPNews, that's a costly week #1
Ed Reed just filled in as the emergency punt returner for the Ravens and ran it back for a TD. :-X
SINE ED READ!!!!!!!!!!1
I don't think he even got touched though. The punt was so far beyond the coverage that fielding it was a no brainer.
let's see him dive and field one though
Can anyone really argue that he's not one of the best five players in the NFL?
It's obvious you missed the Eagles game yesterday, Dio. The five best players in the NFL are all named Brett Favre.
top 5 overall? no way
you can argue he's a top 5 defensive player, sure
Quote from: Diomedes on September 10, 2007, 10:11:13 PM

It can definately be argued.
Brady, LT, P Manning, Merriman, Alexander are 5 that are easily in the discussion.

Game on the line, Heap catches a TD. Refs called it offensive PI. What an awful call.
and he made up his own call

I don't know about that, but you certainly could make an argument for Ed Reed as a top 5 player.
ha the Ravens threw it to the FB in the flat with the game on the line
Boller threw that ball 1000 mph
billick is just as bad as reid...with 4 downs, you have to try and run the ball at least once more there
Michael Myers
What a game!
Russell agreed in principle to a $68 million contract per espn.com
QuoteBELICHICK SUMMONED TO NEW YORK?
WVCB in Boston reports that Pats coach Bill Belichick has been summoned to New York by Commissioner Roger Goodell to answer questions regarding allegations that the Patriots were stealing defensive signals on Sunday against the Jets.
WEEI in Boston reports that the Patriots deny the WVCB report.
Either way, this issue is generating all sorts of buzz in league and media circles. Though it could be driven by the perception that the Patriots are the top organization in the league and the other 31 franchises would love to seem them take a fall, there's just too much smoke on this one to disregard it.
Still, we doubt that the Pats are the only team stealing signals, if the final decision is that they are or have been. Multiple readers have told us that the Eagles were taking great pains to shield their own defensive signals from prying eyes against the Packers, which suggests that this could be a fairly common thing.
The Eagles were doing it against GB because of Al Harris...and they did it against NY last year too because of Carlos Emmons.
The Pats did it in the Super Bowl, which is the ONLY reason the Eagles lost.

Yet, alas, the efforts were foiled as Harris let his arm fall off near the Eagles sideline, and it reported everything back to Harris's dreads in real time.
Everetts surgery went so well, he has voluntary movement and might walk again (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3014742)
actually, it went so well he's questionable for next week.
Even if he can't walk, the Eagles should sign him to return punts.

Yep! The NFL will have to go back and give the Eagles the Patriots win over the Panthers too, because the Pats were cheating and the Panthers were all on roids. Clearly the Eagles would have glided to victory that season had it not been for all the cheating.
BJ Sams is done for the year after tearing his ACL. I'm sure the Ravens are pissed that the Birds snapped up Reno Mahe before they were able to sign him.
Good thing the Eagles grabbed Mahe before the Ravens had a chance to scoop him up.

I swear I've heard that joke somewhere before...
It's not so much the surgery that Everett's improved condition is being credited to as it was the immediate care provided after the injury; within minutes the doctor had induced hypothermia to prevent/reduce swelling.
I'll repeat that, because I think it's about the coolest thing I've heard in weeks (no pun intended): within minutes of his injury, doctors induced a state of hypothermia as a form of treatment.
bad ass doctors right there
I'm wondering if because of the Miami Project (Nick Bounoconti's project for his son to find a cure for paralysis) was the main reason the medical staff had that saline like solution available?

Apparently, the Bills owner (name escapes me right now), is a pretty big contributer to the Miami Project so that may have something to do with it.
And I'll echo Dio's sentiments. Bad ass doctors. This is one of the few medical break throughs I've heard about in maybe the last 5-10 years that really blows me away. Most of the time we hear about break throughs is medicine it's usually just a link in the chain but never the end result or anything tangible that can be applied to patients today.
This is incredible - 10 years ago he's in a wheelchair for life.
Badass is absolutely correct.
After all the concussion talk in the off-season, and the old-timers with mush for brains being wheeled around to the Hall of Fame ceremony, it's really nice to see the NFL being pro-active about known risks. Very cool.
