NFL Opening Week 2005

[Guest MikeSC]

Why do I not see Bledsoe doing a heck of a lot this season?

[Guest *KNK*]

Who has the AZ-NYG game? Care to give me an brief synopsis of that one? It's the only afternoon game that concerns me and Im stuck with Packers/Lions.

[Richard]

Why are the Lions wearing Carolina's uniforms?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Because you've seen him play in the last seven seasons?

[Guest *KNK*]

Is it just my east coast bias or something here but doesn't the 4:00 slate of games usually suck? I always get this feeling of "I just don't care" regarding the 4:00 games.

They need to put Romo in there now.

I do. I just started watching it though, needed some fresh air after the first two games stunk up the place. I'm interested to see how both these teams look, but a part of me wants to see Dallas and San Diego.

 

And seriously, I understand getting division games when the local (Giants) team isn't playing, but the two of the worst teams in the first week of the season? What sucks is I'll probably get a third of the Redskins games this year, it hasn't been pretty the last couple years....

There aren't many good teams that play on the west coast right now. Most 4:00 games are west-coasters playing at 1:00.

Bledsoe is 6 of 8 for 89 yards and a touchdown now. Hell he even has nine yards rushing. And the ball NEVER got to him on the fumble, the center bounced it off his own ass.

 

This isn't the five wide Bledsoe, they are finally using him the way teams should have been using him and the way Parcells knows. Short drop, little routes with one man deep, just dump it off to the tight end or throw it away.

 

This is the Julius Jones team though. No question about it. If Jason Whitten doesn't go down, Bledsoe and the Cowboys will be just fine. Which I hope they do, the guy is one of the few class acts in the NFL.

[Precious Roy]

Eli picked off, run back for a TD. Wasn't really his fault, reciever had two guys closing in but the ball hit his hands and he should have made the play, kind of a fluke

 

I've yet to really catch a Zona drive, I want to see how Arrington and Shipp look

[Precious Roy]

Giants with a nice return up to the 44, 5 yard penalty brings em to mid field. Gotta get into the red zone here

[Precious Roy]

Manning sacked back at the THIRTY, I meant the other red zone jackass!

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

 

Beware the amazing exploiding offense!

[Guest MikeSC]

Well, SI is based in NY, right? New Yorkers would say it like that.

[2GOLD]

Where is this Chargers-Cowboys game?

The crowd seems to be cheering for anyone.

 

And Tim Rattay is 4/4 for 66 yards with a touchdown.

[Guest MikeSC]

San Diego.

[2GOLD]

I was just making sure. The crowd seemed to cheer louder for the Dallas touchdowns than the Chargers anything. San Diego must not have Padrefever.

[mike546]

Giants D is horrific.

[CanadianChris]

San Francisco is going to win this game, aren't they?

 

St. Louis is going to roll over, aren't they?

 

I'm going to get bounced from the Eliminator pool on week 1, aren't I?

Dallas has a National Fanbase that tend to get into road games.

As my magic 8-ball says:

All signs point to yes

 

The Cardinals aren't running the ball, Warner will be dead by quarter three.

[CanadianChris]

49ers go up 14-6 on a punt return => TD.

 

AAAAAAAAGH.

 

EDIT: OMG, now the Niners made a successful onside kick. Someone kick me in the balls for picking the fucking RAMS on the road.

Steel toed boot or no?

 

Touchdown Chargers, Brees to McCardell

This is going to be one fun football game. Which makes up for the horrible games to start the day.

 

Also, from yahoo

6:48 SF TD STL kicked off, Terry Jackson returned kickoff for 1 yard loss

St. L-6

SF-39

 

A sign of things to come?

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

Jammer with a RIDICULOUS INT right there, if it stands. Which it won't.

12 men, explains why everyone was double covered.

Bledsoe's BIGGEST flaw is he airs one out cause he just assumes it's an offsides penalty. It's nuts, but he isn't the only one who tries that "free deep ball" shit.

 

And he is going to get picked off with this two minute offense crap.

Or sacked like four times.

 

One of the two.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

I more meant because it was an incredible catch.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

E-LI lookin' good today!

 

5/15 73 Yards, 1 TD, 2 INT

[Guest MikeSC]

If he was playing the Pats, I'd say he was Peyton-esque.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If his last name wasn't Manning, Eli would have been a fourth round pick at best.

 

And Niners in the red zone again.
