Around The NFL--Week 1

[MDS]

Didn't know that was you. Sneaky Bastich.

Pats defense is holding up quite well against this high powered Raiders offense.  They gave up that one big play to Moss but other than that, they've kept him and the Raiders in check for the most part. 

The season is young but so far the Pats haven't shown any signs of falling off. 

[General_Failure]

Or the Raiders still suck.

[Diomedes]

The officiating has been girlish.  That last penalty on Oakland-unnecessary roughness/forearm to the head-is called a tackle. 

[Sgt PSN]

Can't complain about that PI call though in the endzone.  Pats putting it on 'em now. 

[General_Failure]

The Raiders look like they're walking around on D. This is becoming a joke of a game.

[MDS]

Porter needs a TD or else I kill him. He knew what he had to do.

[General_Failure]

Oakland's pretty much secured the loss here.

[QB Eagles]

Oakland showed some flashes but looked tired in the second half. They got sloppy too. Couldn't go the full 4 quarters against the champs. Looks like their game plan all season is going to be pound Jordan a million times, then randomly bomb to Moss.

[WEST is GOD]

Moss had an average game. Other than that lucky catch, he really didn't do much. Kinda like Portis' first game last year. Had that one play early then did pretty much nothing.

Neither team was all that impressive.

He did enough... for my fantasy team, that is.

If TO turned in an identical performance and someone made a similar comment, would you agree with them?

5 for 130 with an impressive 73 yard score is plenty good enough for me to say he had a good game.  Or are you saying that Moss has to score more than once to have an above average game?  'Cause that's stooopid.

[Zanshin]

He had a good game.

Agreed.  Moss was probably the only Raider who had a good game.  His performance though is playing second fiddle to the team's suckage.

I thought Lamont Jordan had some nice runs early on. That Pats run defense sure looks different without Bruschi & Johnson in the middle.

I still hate Rodney Harrison. I like Ben Watson though. I liked the Raiders PR/KR Chris Carr too.
