NFL Week 2

[jersey cubs fan]

6 3pm games seems like a lot. I'm not complaining though.

 

Haven't started bye weeks yet, and most of them are western games. With no NY team playing in prime time, one of them always plays at 4pm.

I actually prefer it this way. It'll make it easier to follow more games. Too many 12noon starts and it can be hard to keep up, even with NFLST & Superfan.

Week 2 for the Titans should be easier than Week 1 (sorry Rocket). The Bengals were pretty unimpressive in their opening loss and I'm anxious to see what Chris Johnson can do against as porous a defense as Cincinatti's.

 

I don't think lacking Vince is going to hurt in this one, as I don't think the Bengals will bring enough pressure to get to Kerry Collins consistently. And if they do, he has the arm to beat them deep (if the receivers can catch the ball).

 

Titans should win this one by 10 or so.

Every forecast I've seen has Ike in Mexico or Texas by Sunday.

 

What's Josephine got going on?

Did you see the weird story about Fisher calling the cops after fearing for Vince Young's emotional well being?

Why is a Brewers fan starting these threads?

 

Because he wanted to, and he's capable of typing?

 

Wait. Brewers fans are capable of typing? Wowowowowow!

Well, I guess I can only say with certainty that this particular Brewer fan is capable of typing, if you really wanted to get technical. :)

Yeah, I saw that. It's a very strange story - I just hope these 2-4 weeks off will help him get his head together.

 

He's very emotional and is taking the Titan fan abuse fairly hard right now.

Here is the long awaited Bill Simmons column after Brady's injury.

 

Haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it's good stuff.

It's a mailbag, quite tame, and quite lame.

I haven't read his other stuff, but this part gave me a good chuckle:

The weight of Brady's injury didn't fully hit me until I was watching "Mad Men" on Sunday night and Joan Hollaway (the curvy, vindictive redhead in Don Draper's office) gleefully fired her new office rival, Don's new secretary, Jane (a saucy, manipulative ice queen who's quite possibly the best-looking actress since the Jaclyn Smith/Cheryl Ladd combo in "Charlie's Angels"). And I was sitting there thinking, "Are you kidding me? I'm losing Brady and Don Draper's secretary in the span of 12 hours? Really? That's my day today?" I thought about going outside and turning on my car just to see if I would be blown up like Jack McKay.

 

:rotfl: Not too bad. If his other stuff is even more melodramatic it must be hilarious.

Yeah, it wasn't quite what I expected.

 

Not bad, some whining and a couple of references to committing suicide, but that was about it.

I did enjoy that part.

This week will represent the 1st of probably just two times I'll get to see Carolina play this season (the other is on MNF). This is barring flex games and featured games, which could happen if they are actually good.

Merriman is done. I don't think the Chargers will be favorites for the AFC anymore. So, the Colts, Steelers, and Jaguars seem like the main contenders now.

Even with the "issues" with Vince, if the Jags are main contenders the Titans have to be too. They were similar heading into the year and the Titans just beat them.

 

I think the favorites in the AFC right now are the Colts, Steelers and Chargers. Merriman's injury hurts them, but San Diego still has fewer questions than the Jags or Titans. The biggest thing holding San Diego back is the head coach, Norv Turner.

 

That said, I don't completely rule out the Patriots yet. That defense is still strong and, if they can bring in a decent QB, they still have Moss and Welker at receiver and Maroney in the backfield.

I forgot about the Titans. #-o

Good, maybe your Colts will forget to prepare for us too. :D

Merriman out:

smart move. I was stunned when he was going to try and play all season on it

[dew1679666265]

Titans sign Chris Simms. Vince has a sprained MCL and while the team hasn't announced anything official that I've seen, it looks like he'll be out 2-4 weeks.

 

Kerry Collins will start Sunday.

Marques Colston, the New Orleans Saints' top receiver during the past two seasons, had surgery on his left thumb and will miss four to six weeks.

 

A person with direct knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press on Wednesday morning that Colston had a torn ligament resulting from a play on Sunday in which the receiver reached forward in an attempt to make a catch while taking a helmet-first hit to his hands.

 

Sounds like it is time for Robert Meachem to step up and fill his role on the Saints. He had a pretty good preseason with 10 catches for 217 yards. Step up!

Sounds like Meachem would be a good choice to start in fantasy for a while then.

 

Do you concur?
