NFL Week 1 (Sept. 8th-12th)

[Warpticon]

Of course the part of the game I was most worried about (run game/interior line) is playing well and the part I was least worried about (defensive front 7) is getting manhandled.

Then he needs to give Simmons grief for New Orleans losing to Green Bay.

 

They held on tight in a game nobody wins (opening night in the super bowl winner's home) as opposed to getting blown out at home.

I see Incognito is still doing what he does best, committing penalties.

He actually did that far less last season, but yeah, he's still Incognito.

that sucks, he's already one of my favorite players in the league. should make our life easier Sunday, though

 

Eric Berry is the only guy I'd consider comparable to Peyton Manning in the love for him in Knoxville. Had he stayed for his senior year like Peyton did (leaving was the right choice though), he might be as beloved as Peyton around here.

Brandon Marshall is such a badass.

 

lol @ Josh McDaniels for trading him for 2 2nd rounders.

[jersey cubs fan]

Okay Tom, that's enough out of you, ease up in the 4th please.

[SpongeWorthy]

lol Miami playcalling

[ELCABALLO45]

Holy. Crap.

[NonProfitCow]

Is that a million yards for Brady today?

[Soul]

Fiesty they are, but I think the Dolphins will be overmatched in this division in '11.

[jersey cubs fan]

Okay seriously Tom, just stop.

[bcl412]

I'd say that fantasy teams with Brady and Welker were ok with that play.

[imb]

lol my gf just lost her first fantasy matchup because of that 99-yarder. I have a feeling she will not be in a good mood.

we have to be like 2 years away from nfl teams just never running the ball.

I'll be the old crotchety guy. I don't want to see this happen. But I think you're right. At some point running will become like "hey they RAN it! Haha, weird."

 

Not sure I want to live in that football world.

Figured I was toast heading into tonight, wasn't even watching. Now 7 points from Matt Prater gets me a win.

NFL football has been a passing league for a decade and it took people a long time to realize just how much the RB position changed. But the running game will always be a part of it.

it's almost like that now. 12 QB's have thrown for over 300 yards this week. i remember that used to be a benchmark that only 2 or 4 guys would reach each week.

[jersey cubs fan]

STOP CALLING TIMEOUTS MIAMI LET THIS ONE GO YOU LOST!!!

What word did Jaws use?

[Soul]

Yeah. I'm done with this game. On to the next game. Don't bother me with details, just let me FF to the next game :)

Yeah, well 6 guys ran for 100 and 11 ran for over 90. It's not almost like that and it's not going to get like that.

[kujay]

Yeah I missed it too. Too lazy to rewind and find it.

 

And I have Brady on my fantasy team. God is great.

 

So long as Brandon Lloyd doesn't put up 17 points.

I don't know, the NFL seems to adjust so you'd think it will even out although the rules definitely favor the passing game.
