NFL Week Two

[Guest Vitamin X]

Oh wow. That's much worse than knocking an opponent (and yourself) out of a game for a silly fight.

To call this karma is crazy. The only way this would be karma evening things out is if he stabbed Trotter in the thigh during the fight. Trotter missed one game and so did Mathis, seemed even to me. And no one told Trotter to swing back since he knew the result would be he gone.

 

This is just....damn. Hopefully his career doesn't end over this.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Well then again with some pagan religions, everything you do comes back to you threefold, so yeah, close enough.

Seriously......I don't know how painful turf toe is but come on! Isn't he being pretty wussy about this?

I mean Farve played with a broken thumb, McNair with everything, hell even Jason White played with turf toe, a torn ligament in his foot(i believe), and a broken hand(not effectively obviously). So just a little turf toe? Sounds kind of sissy.....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I've heard that it's a hyperextended toe, the big one on his passing foot. I'm sure if it was his other foot he'd be more likely to play. But since it's the foot that he uses to get any velocity on the ball, it's most likely effecting his ability to pass with any speed or strength. Plus it's week two of the season. Why not sit out a few weeks now and come back in good health for when the games mean more.

is Anthony Wright still on the Ravens? Shit I gotta add him back to the roster on Madden 06, they wouldn't let me put Stewart on there due to cap room...no I don't play as the Ravens but I'm one of those annoying anal sports games players that has to have the most up-to-date rosters at all times...

[Ripper 0]

I find it funny that everyone is saying Mathis started the fight just because he doesn't start. Hell, even in Trotters version of the story he says he pushed the guy first.

 

Thats fucked up for Kevin though. The Falcons need to go find another nickel back RIGHT now.

Hell if you watch the tape, you can see Trotter IS the one who starts the fight. He shoved Mathis backwards and then they are fighting.

 

And I guess they can call someone up from the practice squad to replace him but damn, they got a serious nickel defense hole without him.

[Ripper 0]

I don't think they have any defensive backs on the practice squad. Right now this puts Allen Rossum in his spot, and I am still shakey on Allen's defensive abilities.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

Ehh... he might surprise you, in the "Troy Brown" on defense way.

Brown is moderately fast and smart. He knew what his job was, knock the ball down and pick it if you know you can.

Rossum takes too many risks which leaves himself and the team open for big plays.

[nl5xsk1 0]

Brown also had years of experience as a receiver to use as a resource when reading plays and formations pre-snap. Rossum doesn't have that luxury.

[Ripper 0]

Actually Rossom came into the league as a cornerback. He just isn't very good because as it was said, he gambles on basically every play, when knocking the ball down would be the better option. He is good at getting himself in position, but his decision making after that is attrocious.

Maybe in practice Jim Mora should have him stand in front of a ball machine and have someone smack him in the back of the head while yelling, "KNOCK IT DOWN".

 

Granted he'll never pick off another pass but it's not like he does that much anyway.

You didn't see him brandish that machete and come at Trotter screaming about infidels?

Quiet you....it was the mean streets of the Georgia Dome....anything goes.

 

 

Ok now seriously, what exaclty is turf toe?

Drew Bledsoe is classic for putting up huge numbers but not making the important throws that win games. I am sorry Dallas fans, but as pedestrian as Vinny was last year, that wasn't the problem.

 

As a Skins fan, I know I sound like a homer predicting them to win, but I look at like this......The Cowboys will be facing a Skins Defense that was #3 in defense last season with the RUN defense being the better half, now if they can neutralize Julius Jones and the run game, then you are going to see them attack Bledsoe, his old coach Greg Williams is coaching the Skins D, and something tells me he is going to have a pretty good gameplan for attacking him.

 

The Skins problem will be scoring points on offense of course, however I see a close, low scoring game that will be won in the 4th quarter. This is why I actually think Brunell is a more ideal QB then Ramsey for this situation. Ramsey has an NFL arm, but he makes too many mistakes, this game on monday would have been a primetime example of why Ramsey is not yet ready (and may never be) because he would be himself and do a lot of things right, but make the stupid throw in the 4th quarter that blows the game. Brunell on the other hand, while he won't light up the stat sheets, he will make the throws he needs to and avoid making the dumb throws that lose games.

 

Also his best game in 2004 was agains the Cowboys, he lit them for over 300yds passing a couple of TD tosses...

 

Skins 17

That sounds a lot more painful than I thought.....

Well, I'm heading down to PBS for Vikings-Bengals. I'm guessing it'd be smart to bet the over in this game.

[Guest *KNK*]

It's game day. I got Bengals/Vikings and Browns/Packers.

 

Why must I get stuck with Green Bay every fucking weekend?

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

While the games may be "good", I'm not real happy that they are showing 49ers/Eagles and Patriots/Panthers here...

[Cartman 0]

It's FOOT-BALL tiiiiiime.

[Guest *KNK*]

Carson Palmer throws a 70 yard TD pass to Chad Johnson on the second play of the game to take a 7-0 lead over the Vikings.

[Cartman 0]

...Maybe I shoulda started palmer over Bulger???

[Cartman 0]

T.O 68 yd TD...

[razazteca 0]

....And I was worried about McNabb's injury.

[Guest *KNK*]

Guess what, Minnesota fumbled the ball. Bengals recover easily.

 

Before the game started, I predicted 6 turnovers from Minn... that's ONE.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Looks like this was the wrong week to get cute with my picks...

[Guest *KNK*]

I'd hate to sound like a homer but I just love watching the bengals offense play.

 

Palmer is going to be a Pro-Bowler this year.

Least you don't have the soon to be god awful Titans vs Ravens game.

And I also got the crappy Niners-Eagles game.

 

God, these are going to be horrible.
