Re: The NFL Thread

Who, other than 49ers fans, could have predicted that the Packers would lose to the 49ers. You know, I almost wanted to pick the 49ers, but I thought that it was too far of a stretch to pick...

Re: The NFL Thread

I was actually thinking of taking them. But yeah, what-ifs don't matter.

Re: The NFL Thread

Indeed. It's all about who you actually picked.

Re: The NFL Thread

I got the 49ers beating the Packers, not Cam losing to TB.

I'm still pissed that I didn't get to see my Pats beating the Titans.

Peyton Manning is BACK!!

Re: The NFL Thread

Peyton played well, although the Steelers made some poor defensive plays.

Plus, Ryan Clark was absent because they were at Mile High, and that's a big defensive piece, as well as his leadership, that was missing.

Re: The NFL Thread

I like Tebow, I really do, and I want him to succeed, but I can't stand the media attention that goes along with him. I was watching highlights of the Jets/Bills game, and they showed a highlight of Tebow lining up at tight end (that was the entire highlight), showed him running for a short gain, and receiving an onside kick in the late stages of a blowout. These were 3 of the most standard plays you'll ever see. I don't blame Tebow though, it's not his fault people have a hard on for the guy.

Anyways, rant over. Overall good day, though. Lions won (had me a really worried though), and Stafford looked like crap in the 1st half. Let's hope the 2nd half is more indicative of how he will play this year.

Bengals play tomorrow, here's hoping they can improve on last season. Also hoping for them to blow Baltimore out on MNF. Any Ravens fans in here

Edit: Almost forgot to comment on the home state team: Tennessee Titans all I have to say is

Re: The NFL Thread

All I care about this morning is RGIII. It's not just the win, not just about the numbers, but the way he put up the numbers. It looks sustainable. He is not afraid of taking a hit, when the pocket collapses his mechanics do not break down. He already has a near Roethlisberger like ability to extend the play while still looking for an open receiver. His passes are accurate, leading the receiver to open space and YAC. Overall, incredibly impressive. I'm not predicting the Super Bowl, or even a winning record, but I have no doubt RGIII will live up to his potential.

I still hate Tebow BTW. I'm glad to see that Sanchez had a nice game, defusing Tebowmania a little, even if just for one week. I'm also thrilled to see Peyton back, and playing at a high level.

Would people stop invoking Ryan Clark as a big loss please? The Steelers never have him when they play in Denver, since he's been a Steeler. The media and commentators never forget to mention his absence from the lineup when they play at a high altitude because he has Sickle Cell.

They mention him more than James Harrison being absent...JAMES HARRISON. Please. They guy is not Troy Polamalu. He's a good player and whenever a starter is absent it's something of note but I'm just sick of hearing his name so often. It's ridiculous.

If you're a Lions fan in Tennessee why do you care how the Bengals do this year?

I'm a Ravens fan. I don't see how you could reasonably hope for any team to blow them out. Especially a divisional rival. AFC North games are never like that.

I know what you're trying to say here, but come dude

One game.

Though he certainly impressed, that's for sure.

Born in Detroit, Dad's from Cincy so I grew up rooting for Detroit and Cincy teams. Grew up in Tennessee, though we didn't have any professional teams for a while. Titan's never really grew on me, probably because they are a relocation team.

Anyways, I fully expect the Bengals to get their ass handed to em, but I like to dream of them blowing out the Ravens, my least favorite AFC team (probably due to division rivalries and what not).

Last but not least, how could I have forgotten to laugh derisively at the New Orleans Saints (I was hating on them before it was cool )

Re: The NFL Thread

Re: The NFL Thread

Terrible weekend. Steelers lost and Ravens won. That's like like losing twice for a Steelers fan.

It's also very depressing when your team is one injury away from Heath Miller stepping in on the O-line. That's not a good feeling.
