2006-2007 NFL Season Discussion

What's with all the injuries so early?! And during training camp!?

Steve Smith

DeMarcus Faggins

LeCharles Bentley


Just to name a few.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well he was signed.


Anyways, Hall of Fame game today - American Football, my friends, has come once again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Giants, Carolina and Cincinatti ended the preseason 4-0. Noteables are Oakland with at 4-1 and Dallas at 3-0-1.


I laughed with T.O. catching a single pass for 6 yards. Still, Bledsoe left early, which may be why.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well there is that rule that says that you can never discount the defending champs.

Even with Roethlisberger out (remember, he had a horrible time at the SB) - run the ball with Parker against the Dolphin's D, pass a few to Hines Ward, and let the Steeler's D take care of the rest.

Culpepper isn't bad, but he's still coming off an injury. Also, they don't have the same rushing offense that they had last year.

Saban should have ran down the sidelines and threw the flag at a line ref, or, if worse comes to worst, ran out onto the field and slide tackled the ref ().

I was speaking idiomatically.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about this over hyped match all week.

It's been hyped to the point of most important match of the season...and it's a week one match...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I watched the jax and cowboys game and hahahahaha bledsoe got picked off 3 times. what a sucker.

Though T.O. DID get a touchdown.


And how about Atlanta? 2 TDs by Vick, great job by Abraham, and I believe 120-ish yards by Dunn.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think Atlanta only has 2 [half] backs - Dunn and Norwood. And both of them are small.

Though Norwood is fast as hell, so I'm not sure if he's a 3rd-down back or not. Maybe their fullback - Griffith?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

San Diego needed 3 more to tie, four to break.

I just can't believe the Bucs' Defense allowed both Vick and Dunn to run over 100 yards on them.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've never been a big fan of Brunell, but it's way to early to be bringing Campbell in. In any case, the next game is against the Texans, so if there isn't a win there, serious questions will need to be asked.

Brunell kept missing targets - usually throwing balls short. It's those kinds of passes that can lead to interceptions down the road.


What I'm most shocked about is the Bear's offense. Grossman has taken control of the offense.


I think Simms (Bucs) is in a slump. He'll get better as the weeks go on, but he needs to take control as the Bucs D can only do so much.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think he's talking about how Pittsburg and Baltimore have split (both winning one) the two division games the last two years, when they (Baltimore) had a bad team.

Oh, and my sigpic details a much larger problem.

True.

And do I see false start offense?



Steve McNair was pretty sub-par in this last game. Under 50% completion, 143 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT.

Those are Vick numbers.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ouch, another INT...


Maybe Cowher should have let Ben sit this one out...

Guess...we're the best in the league now? According to Ray Lewis at least...

Uh...

The Colts are 4-0 as well. And the winner of the Chicaogo vs. Seattle game will be 4-0 also.

Goddamn, at least Gradkowski looked good. As for the Steelers, I actually just got back from a cruise to Cozumel today, and I met some of the coolest fuckin' Steelers fans ever. One of em, which I had a pretty long conversation with, looked just like Bill Cowher. Not that it means anything, but just reinforces the fact that I have yet to meet a bad Steelers fans.

/suckthesteelersballs

'Sup Reggie Bush and punt return magic.


What is with Tampa Bay's D?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

4 Ints by Grossmen, yet the Cardinals allow two fumble return TDs and a punt return TD.

...Come on Leinhart, the game's still four quarters long.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Last night's game showed what happens, and what will happen, when Rex Grossman struggles. Now, I don't think he's gonna be having 6 turnover (4 INTs and 2 fumbles) every week, but Chicago is going to find themselves in trouble against the elite teams if he doesn't play well. It was just one game but it could be a foreshadowing of things to come if they don't make the necessary adjustments.

And damn, 55 yards on 36 rushing attempts for Edgerrin James, and a fumble that changed the tone of the game. "Shut down" isn't even enough to call what happened to him.

Edge can't work with the Arizona o-line. He may still get around 1000 yards, but he won't be nearly as productive as he was with the Colts (because their o-line has always been quite good).

That's not much of a rushing offense.



And Bishop, I have to agree that we already hyped up the Bears offense due to their winning streak - along with them beating a Alexander-less Seattle. Rex Grossmen is good, but he may not be as effective and dependable near the end of the season into the post-season. Arizona doesn't have a "shut-down" defense, so I was quite surprised with the result as Seattle did very poorly and their defense is thought to be pretty good. Still, with six turnovers, Grossmen really didn't allow the offense to do much as even Thomas Jones had only 39 yards rushing and he was projected to run up and down Arizona's defense.

Looks like Lovie Smith will be reviewing what went wrong as they head into their bye week.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, that was just Edge, who is pretty much their entire rushing attack, but Arizona's rushing attack total is worse:

Yeah...Coach Green will be seeking some O-Linemen this offseason (or by the trade deadline, whenever that is - today, maybe?) because they pretty much have legitimate starters in the rest of the offense.

Most amazing jew boots

Interesting day of football so far. Tampa Bay over Philedelphia, 7 to 0. They forced the number one offense in the league to give up 3 turnovers, one resulted in a TD.


And Michael Vick finally threw his first 3 TD game of his (pro?) career, and it's only the first half.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ronde Barber is player of the week on defense, 6 tackles and two INTs which were brought back for TDs.

And holy shit 62 yards, 'sup Matt Bryant.



And Vick and the Falcons won in OT, 41 - 38; 4 TDs for Vick.


Some great games today, I must say (San Diego and Kansas City, being one of them).

New England will more than likely take the division, but at least there is someone else in the division with a winning record.

FELIPE NO

Superbowl.

Ben Roethlisberger. 9/21; 123 yds; 2 INT.


They score 21.

I'm well aware they didn't score a touchdown on offense as you can obviously tell by the fact that I looked at the stats of the game. I just found it amusing that a team that managed to have 98 yards of total offense managed to beat the Super Bowl champions of last year. I don't know, seems kind of unusual.

Ben isn't as good as he was from. Whether it's mental or the side effects of the physical pain(s) from the accident and whatnot, only he knows. But the Steelers aren't as good as last year, dropping off from the Super Bowl.


Though, I'm surprised that Oakland has a 2-5 record; they're not last anymore.

How ya doing, buddy?
