NFL Week 1 (Sept. 9th-13th)

[ELCABALLO45]

Yes its time. Lock up the pre season thread. College football "started" tonight and its time to play some football. Best time of the year IMO. And this could be the last 17 week schedule for the NFL. Only time of year where all 32 teams and fans have hope. (Even if its just a little. Im looking at you Cleveland). The Destination is Dallas. And what a great game to get it started this year with the Vikings visiting the Superbowl champion New Orleans Saints. Lets Play.

Raiders 49, Titans 0

 

DHB 18 catches (doubling his output for all of last year), 289 yards, 4 TDs

Chris Johnson 20 carries, -20 yards.

 

Go Raiders (please win more than five games this year)!

You may well be right soccer. I'm not predicting anything for this Titans team until I see them for a couple of weeks. I have no idea what they're going to do this year - except that CJ is going to be ridiculously good.

 

Just don't let CJ get 350+ carries. You've got Ringer and Blount, make good use of them.

I'm hoping for a great year from the Cowboys. The miserable preseason is over. My biggest concern right now is the O-line which has looked really bad.

 

I'm going to be at 7 of the 8 home games this year. I'm ready for football!

i love SF, ATL, MIA and DET for those lines

Vikings trade Sage Rosenfels to the Giants for future conditional draft picks even though he looked 8,000x better than Tarvaris this preseason.

Cowboys trade Patrick Crayton to the Chargers for a 7th round pick. meh.

The back up QB behind Favre doesn't matter much. They'll probably need to worry about the QB next year but I'm sure they could find someone better then Sage or Jackson anyways.

As much as it is said every year. Actually the back up for Favre could matter this year.

I hope so. I've felt Tarvaris is a little better than most give him credit for but he's had the worst preseason of his career. Not just the numbers, he's looked atrocious. Everyone said he looked far better in training camp but he was awful in game situations. TJack is Chilly's guy and he was dead set on him being the #2 regardless of what happened this preseason.

I don't like to root for injuries but I kind of hope so.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh got released, i can see Carroll becoming the reincarnation of Spurrier

 

the Broncos also cut Jarvis Green six months after giving him $20M, complete lunacy

Thursday cannot get here soon enough.

Leinart was released as well.

[sneakypower]

wow, Lions traded a TE they were expected to cut for Alphonso Smith, who Denver spent a first round pick on last year

I saw $3M, did I miss something?

[hawkeyecub]

Josh McDaniels is out of control. The personnel moves since he arrived are just baffling. Give up a 1st round pick the next year so you can trade into the 2nd round for a CB and then cut him the next year. Nice. Cut a DE whom you gave $3.3M to not even play a regular season down. Cut your 4th round G from last year who was the starter in the spring and outperformed the 6th round guy you kept this year. Cut the TE who was supposed to be Scheffler's replacement.

 

The list goes on and on. The Denver Post calls the collection of moves bizarre and shocking. The guy is a total disaster in every way and Pat Bolen is the only one who can't see it.

man willie parker went from first round fantasy draft pick to cut in pre-season by another team in about 2 years.

I think he is trying to act like Belichick without Belichick's mind for football and without the foundation of players he has. Belichick thinks that his system will make pretty much anyone good (but it didn't work like he wanted it to last year). But McDaniels isn't smart enough to do that. You just can't get rid of Cutler (who is much better than Cassel) and Marshall and think that your way of running a football team is going make up for those guys. That's in addition to the recent moves.

Revis and the Jets apparently agreed to a deal in principle. It will make him the highest paid defensive player ever, per ESPN.

ridiculous

[OleMissCub]

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/blog/2010/09/report_jets_revis_reach_new_deal.html

 

ESPN is reporting that the Jets and Revis have come to agreement on a new contract -- seven years at $46 million with $32 million guaranteed. But apparently it can be voided after four years, so it's essentially a four-year, $32 million deal, according to the report.

 

32 mil guaranteed....holy isht

[NCCubFan]

Pretty stupid to guarantee that much given the labor uncertainty beyond this year.

the jets aren't winning a super bowl w/o him, so they had to do something
