Robert 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 If they ever did this crap in Green Bay or Chicago doing the Thursday opening. I'd hate the NFL for putting crappy musicians over tradition. Bad enough they did it in Philly. What the hell is Ozzie Osbourne doing at Foxboro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teke184 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 Damn... Raiders are moving the ball pretty good on their first drive. Â Â Granted, getting that free play where Collins unloaded it to Moss DID help quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 9, 2005 There's no way Randy Moss plays as long as Jerry Rice though..so comparing the two, while interesting, is pointless. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â It's not pointless. It's just pointing out how fucking GOOD Randy Moss is. Â It's comparable to the greatest player in that position, we never know how long a player will last so dont assume Randy Moss won't play 20 seasons like Rice did. Â Just acknowledge that Randy Moss is about even with the greatest WR of all time at this point in his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 Hats off to both defensive coordinators, they have made HUGE adjustments in the locker room at the half. Â Both teams look good, not as good as you'd like but for the first week of the season they both look very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 Because starting at 8pm doesn't allow for a big change in the game time. If you are willing to stay up to midnight, you are willing to make it to 9pm in the eyes of ABC. The extra hour allows them to run another program before football, thus freeing up an hour for them to toss a show into instead of holding onto a wasted pilot that has to wait for an opening. Â All about the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Patriots fans want to rip out their hair is just how this teams gets their giggles. Hell, I'm sure I'll be bald by the time I'm 27 if this keeps up.  Both teams looked average, both have lots of areas they need to improve but they both showed flashes of being great teams. The Raider offense of "throw the ball as far as you can" seems to work ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 You gotta love the effort Randy Moss put up on the two point conversion. He showed tons of effort the rest of the game though so maybe he was just tired. Or bored. I mean hey, it is past Randy's bedtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
