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

[Ding Dong Johnson]

12-4, not bad.

Figure up mine. I can't multi-task today.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

Holy [expletive]. Lechler just had a career-long 77-yard punt that traveled about 83 yards in the air.

 

I think every team in football would kill to have the Raiders' legs, to state he obvious. Those guys put on a show last night, as did their running game.

 

Lawlz @ the Dolcants....I want to use a different word but oh well.

12-4, not bad.

SSR went 8-8...fine bounceback after a horrific 2-7 start

I wouldn't go so far as to call it ridiculous, but it was a bad call. I'm okay with the NFL erring on the side of safety on calls like this. Safeties launching into receivers is good for TV, but it's really dangerous and I'd much rather see hard hitting tackles than missile shots. He let up, but it probably was far from clear live. I would like to see the NFL explicitly say Manning should not have gotten a penalty. Acknowledge that he took the proper action but continue to enforce this type of penalty, if not this specific play.

The linebacker missing the receiver in this third clip is historic!
