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

unless you have access to an NFL team's medical staff, then you can probably just go see them.

I wasn't directing my post at the myriad of NFL players who read this site.

Tom Brady was in a car accident this morning. He was banged up but reportedly refused medical treatment. He will be further examined by the Patriots' medical staff.

 

For anyone reading this who ever gets into something like this, ALWAYS go to the hospital, just as a way to CYA. Back injuries from car wrecks often don't manifest themselves for months or even years.

How about plane crashes?

Part of a speech that Sean Payton gave to his players the night before the NFC Championship game...

 

"When you get older in life, you tend to get very careful, and a little more fearful," Payton said, according to accounts of players and staffers. "You start thinking about your own mortality. If it rains outside you might not go to the store, especially at night. You figure you'll just wait it out. You might have somewhere to go and you tell yourself I don't want to go there. You don't want to get in a wreck."

 

"If you keep hitting [Favre] he'll make a mistake. If we keep putting pressure on him he'll start being careful, he'll start doing anything he can to avoid getting hit and he'll make a mistake. I promise you, if we hit him for four quarters, he'll turn into that old man who's scared of the rain."

Hopefully we see a lot more of this from every team that plays Minnesota this year.

 

I'm really looking forward to the game tonight.

Just about to head down to the Dome! WHO DAT!

I know what a novel idea by Williams and Payton. Hit the quarterback a lot and try to get pressure on him all game.

 

It's amazing no one in football thought of this before last January.

[hawkeyecub]

Seriously this whole "the Saints put out the blueprint for everyone. Get a lot of pressure on Favre and keep hitting him." Well no [expletive]. That's the same story for every quarterback in the history of football. The problem is it's a lot easier said than done and it's even tougher in today's NFL that protects QB's. A few of those hits should have been called, especially when he got blown up 2.5 seconds after handing the ball off. And of course the two other calls that Perreira said should have been flagged.

 

Oh and of course they all forget that the Vikings put up 31 first downs, 475 yards and 28 points on the road. The only thing the Saints did right was tell the Vikings to drop the ball a lot and put 12 men in the huddle.

 

If only the Vikings would have adapted Gregg Williams' master approach. Sure they only gave up 15 first downs, 257 total yards, only 189 to Drew freaking Brees, 3 yards per carry and held Brees to 6 yards per pass. But damn, we really should have let them run up and down the field all game and hope they would drop the ball in the red zone or told the refs not to make a terrible pass interference call or give them an absurd spot on 4th and 1.

Seriously, it's not the defense, it's just the fact that in the end Brett Favre will always let down his team. That was inevitable.

Just start this game already and give Cedric Griffin some magical injection so we don't only have 3 CB's.

I'm not obese and Iowa and Minnesota rank like 20-30 states lower than Louisiana so yeah.

[jersey cubs fan]

You still mad that their flooding got more news than your flooding?

Somebody's mad.

Is that jealousy I see in your eyes hawkeye? Hmm, yes, drown me in the sweet water of your envy.

I find that people who make broad generalizations about large groups of people are usually more ignorant than the people whom they make such generalizations about.

[SouthSideRyan]

I might enjoy this year's Favre failure most of all.

[Magnetic Curses]

i hope he gets a steroid suspension or something and has to slink away from the game pretending he's never heard of it like clemens.

It certainly seemed like nobody thought about it until the last game that they played in last year. Speaking on our behalf, we didn't blitz Minnesota as much as we blitzed other teams in the league (for whatever reason). I know the Vikings have a real good pass blocking unit, but it sure seemed like all the Saints did in that game was rush at least an extra guy and mess with Favre.

 

Don't worry. If you put enough trust into Favre, he's bound to let you down again. He has during the last three seasons. What's a fourth?

What's the generalization? Louisiana is the 4th most obese and 4th from last in percentage of college educated citizens. How dare someone call it a fat, uneducated state. What's next, impugning the fine reputation of Mississippi?

Now you're taking shots at Favre?
