The NFL Thread

The Bears brought in six punters yesterday. Six. Take some of that dough and pay the damn referees.

The fans aren't saying anything about how atrocious and clueless these replacement guys are yet, but when your team loses a game in week one because they're incompetent you'll care.

#1 pass catching RB of all time is Larry Centers?

He's #20 all time in receptions.

[Facedown]

Pats also cut Jabar Gaffney.
Thought he was a lock to make the squad.

I don't think the Pats are even going to use WRs this season with their TE heavy offense.

We don't need no steenkin' WR's
They still have Lloyd, Welker, Edelman, Hernandez (who seems will be playing receiver and other positions more than TE this year), Branch and some others.
They are gonna try to make life a little easier on Gronk by spreading it out.
Offensive line woes and Brady and Lloyd getting on the same page will be key.

They cut Gaffney and Stallworth, who both played for the Redskins last season.

Gaffney I thought was actually a great possession receiver - he seemed to catch everything thrown his way - but he's no good for YAC. Still, was surprised when the Skins cut him (he was their best receiver last year!) and surprised he didn't make the cut in NE.

The Redskins today released Chris Cooley, who was one of our 2 or 3 best offensive players in the last decade. I know, I know, that's pretty sad.

Still, I expect he'll catch on with someone, he could help a team out I think if he can stay healthy.

Are you the same Crazy Levi that's on Extremeskins?

Used to be.

Banned for having opinions.

Their loss- I was gonna give those idiots some important tips on tickets for the SuperDome. Half of those morons are buying club seats that won't get them into the club.

Reg season begins in 6 days.

Merrill Hoge On Colts:

“I think that the Colts are gonna scare some people, shock some people, beat a lot of teams that they’re not expected to beat,” Hoge said on SportsCenter Thursday morning. “When you look at them changing to a 3-4 [defense], watching Luck during the preseason, and looking at some young guys that they have besides Luck at the tight end position. What they’re doing up front with their offensive line. I just think they’re gonna shock a lot of people.”

“I think that the division [AFC South], people just assume it’s gonna be the Houston Texans,” Hoge acknowledged. “But don’t sleep on the Colts. I think they’ll be much improved from last year, and are gonna scare some people and will be an exciting team to watch.”

Gonna be an interesting year!!!!

"But don’t sleep on the Colts. I think they’ll be much improved from last year"

4-12 would be "much improved from last year".
Way to go out on a limb, Merrill.

Dane Sanzenwaddle probably made the Bears with that one handed catch for a touchdown last night.

Most everything Hoge has ever said is total bullshit. His "factor back" schtick is fucking lame. His opinion means nothing to anyone. Why ESPN keeps him around, I'll never know.

[johnk5150]

Bears going into the season with Cutler and Campbell only. No 3rd stringer.

And 2 punters.

And 10 shitty offensive linemen.

Patriots cut some veterans:
Brian Hoyer
Deion Branch (Hernandez playing more WR than TE seems to be coming true)
Dan Koppen
James Ihedigbo

Some are saying they are trying to cut salaries.
The reason would be that Brian Waters is holding out instead of just not there, like last year, and they desperately need him and are willing to meet his demands.

Nothing lame about factor back. he's just showing a how a rb can make a difference in today's pass happy shit league.

I got banned from Extremeskins too. hahah, Course, I am a Cowboys fan, so I guess that explains that.

So Redman whats your solution to the Lions running game? Pray Kevin Smith can play more than one game without getting hurt? Or take a chance on Tim Hightower.

Yes it is lame. He's been saying the same things for over 15 years and trying to make sense of it all. He's a hack.

Opening night tomorrow in NJ

Cowboys travel to Giants.

Not an easy game to begin the season.
A. Miles needs to show up and be productive, despite barely practicing during camp due to his injured hammy.

Someone on the D Line needs to help the team since Jay Ratliff is out with
an ankle injury.

The DB's have to keep the Giants WR's in front of them and not get toasted
for 4 quarters.

[Facedown]

Dolphins release David Garrard.
