Week #3 NFL

[BaggedLancer]

Discuss.


Yay Pats, looked hairy at first but no suprise in the end. Favorite play was the lateral from Welker to Moss, totally wasn't expecting that.

[beardog03]

week 3 and I have yet to win on any of the bets / pools that I have engaged in....

bummer for me !

looks like the 49rs are getting beat up right now....good thing I`m a Raider fan !

[MrNightly]

Got free tickets to the Chief's from a rep at work... oh ya. What a great game to lose the voice. D Bowe is for real. What a player.

Tied with the Chargers... this could get interesting for the West this year!

[Josh]

Ravens over Cards...barely.

[bobman1235]

Frank must be hiding after Jacksonville killed Denver.

The Pats scared me at first, but got their rhythm back and whomped the Bills.

Good to see Green Bay beat up on the whiners in San Diego.

[66chevyIISS]

Go Hawks once again! Can't wait for them to start clicking.

[markmarc]

I didn't get to see the game, thankfully, but if anybody is wondering why the Jags beat the Broncos, it was simple, the Jags had nearly 39min. of possession.
It doesn't get any better for Denver, they go to Indy next week. All you fantasy players with Harrison as your wideout may want to sit him, he usually ends up being a decoy for taking Champ Bailey out of the play.

[fatchowmein]

Go Cowboys!!!

Man, it hasn't been this exciting for a looooong time. 3-0!

No, I didn't watch any football today, I was busy....

I heard the Broncos really stunk up the place today.

[Shizelbs]

What the hell is wrong with the Chargers? I really like them, but man they are sucking this year. They look like an entirely different team. I wonder how much the people and media in San Diego are starting to vocally criticize the choice in dropping Marty Schottenheimer.

Seahawks looked good. Not great but good. A rough week for fantasy owners of Hasslebeck, as his interceptions weren't the results of poor throws, just odd bounces. I sure like Seattle's receiving corps. Alexander pisses me off. I like him in the red zone (i.e., when he runs hard and with effort). I want to see more Seneca Wallace.

Pats are looking scary good.

Glad to see so many NFC West losses.

Well, in an attempt at giving you all a chance at winning the pool this year, I graciously slept in today and didn't get up until 12:10.

Crap. :mad:

It's okay, though, I was able to watch the St. Louis Rams give their weekly clinic on how not to tackle.

Here we have Tampa Bay Graham breaking a "tackle" by Corey Chavous and Lenny Walls.

Graham's grandmother wasn't able to suit up for the game against the Rams, so Graham figured he'd go ahead and try to get a mild Sunday workout.

Ram's Coach Linahan said the Rams are okay, that they were in the game until the end.
:confused:

I guess the motivational speeches by the speaker hired by Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to give to the Rams is paying off in spades for Coach Linahan.

Hell, if I wanted to see a professional football team play this badly, I'd move to Kansas City !

;)

Well, at least I have the Cardinals to watch ..... no, no, bad example ....okay, at least I have the Blues ...... no, okay, another bad idea.

:o

Maybe they simply got beat. Like the Giants and Eagles.

[Frank Z]

Didn't the Eagles whip up on the Lions today?:confused:

[RuSsMaN]

Yeah, in a hardcore fashion to say the least.

Looked more like College score....

[Demiurge]

Didn't the Eagles whip up on the Lions today?:confused:

I'll let you figure out what I meant.

09/09 Eagles W, 16-13

09/16 @ Giants W, 35-13

09/23 Chargers W, 31-24

[markmarc]

hey Frank, where was that pic taken?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Panthers BARELY win with Harrington playing QB for the Falcons.

LAME

Not exciting.

The Patriots though, wow -- what a dominating force that team looks to be. Man handling in every aspect. I didnt get to see the game unfortunately, but it seems except for the beginning they displayed absolute perfection again.

Other than that, I am excited about Green Bay and would love to see them go alllll the way. However I got a feeling if it were GB and NE in the Superbowl -- It would be domination haha

Oh well, what a boring season for me so far. Granted Ive been so busy, did a 5 hour church install Sunday followed by 5 hours in HW!

Crazy stuff!

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

My Colts won again, but I never got the feeling they were ever completely with it offensively, just seemed like an unmotivated performance.

Barring some disaster, I don't see anybody making it past the patriots out of the AFC.

the Vikings are a horrible, horrible football team, though..

vikes should have been up 21-3 at half...blown call by the officials on one and their qb completely over-throwing a WIDE open receiver for the other..

when it was only 10-3 at the half, I knew the Chiefs would win.

[MSALLA]

Didn't the Eagles whip up on the Lions today?:confused:


Lions lost the game more than we won the game. Eagles played a fair game but the lions looked like crap. We still gave up 21 points.

Can I borrow your Gibberish to English Handbook?:rolleyes:

No, you can figure it out, I have faith.

Look back at who the chargers played and how that team did against the Eagles and Giants. Dave's point is that GB beat all those teams and not that each of those teams lost to an inferior team.

[Demiurge]

Which is up for fair debate, I'm just happy with my team this year is all. I'm surprised by the early success, but having watched every down since the pre-season, they actually look like a young team that's going to make things happen this year. A playoff team for sure, but going deep within them? That I am not so sure of at this point. Patriots look damn good, and besides them, I don't know if there's a team they don't have a legitimate shot at beating in this league, aside from possibly Indy.

To me they're a younger version of last years Bears team with a quarterback. The thing that holds them back is the complete lack of a running game, which will be a HUGE problem down the road. We are getting our starter back in the next week or two, so we'll see how that works out.

Oh, and speaking of the Bears, anyone want to man up and accept that Wrecks Grossman needs to get thrown under the friggin' bus? I have been saying this since he joined the NFL. He does not have the right attitude to succeed in the NFL. He cost the Bears the Superbowl, which they likely would have lost anyways, but still...

While I think the Cowboys were the much better team last night, the lack of a competent QB for Chicago does not allow us to see the full potential of that team.

[zombie boy 2000]

Lovie Smith is far too loyal to this mouth breather.

[Demiurge]

That's true. I really shouldn't complain, they are bitter rivals. The longer that train wreck is under center the better for me.

[thejck]

The Vikings suck which sucks and the Rams suck which is good.

The Cardinals (baseball) were eliminated and the Rams confirmed that they stink.

I guess 2 out of 3 aint bad...

P.S. I am a vikings fan and I hate those St. Louis teams.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

I typically prefer the more accurate Steve Young / Peyton Manning type over the gun slinging, close your eyes and throw it as hard as you can and hope your team ends up with the catch approach of Brett Favre...

But c'mon, how can you not root for this guy?

He's always been very accurate with his throws, but like any QB there are communication issues, be it with a receiver not running his route correctly or simply a busted play due to coverage. So yes, mistakes are made from time to time.

The times Favre gets himself into trouble and gets called a 'Gun Slinger' is when he throws a tight spiral into double coverage, usually resulting in a tipped ball by his own teammate due to the insane speed of the pass. Said tipped ball usually gets intercepted. That happens all the time. People only whine about it when that happens, but not when the receiver catches the ball for a big gain/touchdown, which happens more often than not.

Calling Manning more accurate than Favre is laughable, and he's probably my 2nd favorite QB of all time. The guy has never had a real tight spiral, which leaves to flutter passes when distance is involved. Great QB, but precision accuracy has never been his strong suit.

Go back and watch Brett in the Pro Bowl contests before the games....not a true passer, but one of the most accurate QB in recent history by far.

[auto_pilot]

Cowboys won!!!

JJ needs to pay Romo...does he have a better option???

I'd also add Aikman as one of the most accurate passer's I've ever seen...He absolutely shredded the pre-pro bowl QB contest some years back.

As much as the Vikings suck, Favre still has problems playing in the dome...I wonder which Favre will shut up next week..

I guess the good thing for the pack is that the Vikings are so terrible that more than half the stadium might be filled with Packer fans.. the way the Vikings franchise is being run into the ground, nobody is paying good money to watch this crap..

[Demiurge]

He hasn't had any real problems there the last few years there...Domes in general, the team has never done well in, be it St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit..
