To say this Jets Dolphins game should be interesting is an understatment.

That Cowboys Browns game might be the best game today though if you wanna watch a good competative game.

This could tuen out to be a good week 1 for us,all we need is a Cowboys loss,Favre throwing 4 ints in his Jets debut & of course a big Packers win tommorow.

Thank god NFL football is back.

-So how bad does Detroits defense look??? Wow, if they play like this they're going to be in Miami Dolphins territory in a few weeks. That offense isn't going to be able to score enough points to keep up.

-ATL was my surprise team of the year. Not a surprise like they'll make the playoffs, but surprise in that they'll win a lot more games than most people think they will.

-Where's Willis Mcgahee??? It's funny how much fantasy football dominates how I watch games!

I'm in 7 leagues. I root for the entire NFL.

Go NFL!!!

Why use McGahee when you have a Delaware rookie at QB????

Everyone said he was starting and CIN's D is terrible. It was that or Kevin Walter . . . . .

My pick of Michael Turner in fantasy is looking good, Falcons up 21-0 on the Lions. My pick of Brady is not looking good, he just walked off the field injured.

I'd be careful how much we praise the Falcons here, this is probably the WORST defense in the NFL. Missed tackles, blown assignments, but they have more speed!!!

No, I meant if you're the Ravens. Not you.

Wow, wounded duck for the TD for Favre.

Mags FTW · Post #14 » by **Mags FTW** » Sun Sep 7, 2008 7:31 pm

For those who thought Favre was always "running for his life" behind our o-line, your about to see what it really looks like. He's been sacked 3 times already compared to 15 all last season.

Some good early games. Glad football is back.

Looks like Corey Williams realy improved the Browns d-line play.

:lol:

I know the Cowboys have a nice o-line but damn the Browns cant get any pressure on Romo at all.Romo could stand in the pocket and eat a hamburger,choke on it and cough it back up gather himself and throw a pass.

:lol:

Yep, it's just one game and the Cowboys are good, but watching how invisible he is I am thinking "how did we get a 2nd rounder for this guy?" Maybe playing next to Aaron Kampman had its perks.

I still think we'll massively miss the guy. But if he turns into a worthless doughnut, then another one in the plus column for TT since he obviously was concerned about giving Williams a big contract.

I'll admit, I watched the entire Jets game. Was surreal watching Favre. Seemed like I was watching the Packers. Bubba Franks....David Martin....Vonnie Holiday.

Don't forget Ahmad Carroll! I saw him get a hand on a kick returner on one play.

I had fun watching Favre too. He looked good, but he took a lot of hits, and it will only get harder against the Pats and Chargers the next two weeks.

Somebody in the non-primetime game thread on the General board is saying that there is a rumor Brady tore his ACL or PCL. Man, that would be a crushing blow. Patriots would be lucky to make the playoffs if Brady is done for the year.

There's rumors that Tom Brady tore his ACL or PCL.

One report is surfacing on the Bostonherald website and the other on Profootballtalk.com
