The NFL Thread

[UtahRatt]

I got mlb extra innings. I get the NFL, NHL and baseball packages every year, so they usually give me good prices on them.

Bastard.

I've got all available channels and refuse to buy yet another package. Forced to listen to Dodger radio online when I around and can find it.

[UtahRatt]

Guess I missed the comeback, best part of the game? That's what I get for talking shit and passing on the 2nd half. Did the Eagles go into the prevent zone or what?

[John Simon Ritchie]

Eagles win. They had better "tidy up" the play after the 1/2 , but off to a good start.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Yeah, Griffin woke up and the skins started getting some pressure on Vick. They got a garbage time TD that made it interesting for a minute.

You didn't miss anything.

[Tenacious_Dio]

You're not "Kamikaze Bastards" are ya?

Nah. Different league.

Oh, and ESPN...fuuuuuck you.

ESPN predicts Eagles will fall to Redskins 41-0

All but one picked the Skin's.

I probably would have as well, haven't followed much camp or preseason.

Nice win Pat, you'll take it, they looked ballistic the first half.

[Crazy Levi]

Don't know what to say but I am humbled and disappointed. I may have underestimated the Eagles.

Maybe a good wake up call for them, I have a feeling the Skins were starting to believe the hype.

RG3 played the first half like it was his first preseason game. Hard to win when you open up as pathetically as they did - the first half was absolutely brutal.

Was nice to see them not give up, long after I had given up, and fight back to make a game of it. The Pack coming up next week is rough, but they can win

It threw me off bad - tonight is pinball league night. My fortunes rivaled the Skins - but unlike them I was able to pull it out at the end and win. We barely escaped with a 9-7 victory in our opening week for the Fall season.

Did I hear that right Chris berman?

Chris berman: Now I believe this is the 8th time Andre Johnson...blah blah..

On the screen: Andre Johnson 19th time.

[UtahRatt]

Dear Houston......Great comeback.

[tin00can]

Dear Houston......Great comeback.

New year, new GM, new coach, same old predictable Rivers and team.

I think Berman said 100 yards and 10 catches, and the stat screened was simply 100 yard games. Could be wrong though.

That interception was more great Houston play than anything IMO. Houston clearly adapted better as the game went on though.

[sin]

It looked to me like the Eagles just ran out of gas after the first half. Not sure when part II is, but it is worthy of a the Sunday night slot.

[Bludegeon]

MNF..

Please, can fucking Gruden. What an annoying twat. The other dude ain't much better either.

I swear, last night, could've sworn there was going to be a camera shot of Gruden on his knees blowing Chip Kelly..

It's still M.vick. It's still the egals. They will still suckass this season.


Oh, RG3 is my fantasy QB. Haha.. I may keep him, if it means he won't play like he did last season , or if it helps the Deadskins lose more games.

Deadly drinking game. Take a shot every time Gruden says "this guy" or "that guy".

[bane]

Dear Houston......Great comeback.

Staying up till 1 am watching a game is a lot more gratifying when your team pulls off a comeback like that. My favorite quote of the night: Berman: "Houston isn't built to come back from 21 down." Guess again.

Cowboys fans please wait outside. The adults are talking about football here. We'll call you when dinner is ready.

[Machado]

RGIII looks nothing like the QB he was last year(before the knee injury).

The relationship between him and the head coach is only going to make matters worse. Looking forward to reading or hearing the excuses coming from the head coach and RGIII all this week.

Unsettled might be the perfect word to describe how RGIII played last night.
It just might take him 3 or 4 games or more to get comfortable taking snaps and running the offense.

Then again, he may never return to the form of his rookie season.

Machado- who is feeding you this retarded "Shanahan / rg3" feud angle? Seriously, where are you getting it?

I don't see it.

Last night was a disaster for the offense and you can't put it all on rg3. In fact if you look at his line, it's pretty much identical to your average romo performance.

Ill take a rusty rg3 over romo, who has lost every big game he's played in - in spectacular fashion. And you are stuck with him for years. Good luck with that.

There is a lot I can say right now but I'm not going to get into a pissing match after week 1.
My observation of RGIII's performance is on record.
You can have the rusty RGIII and his bad knee. Good luck with that.
Right now he is probably the worst QB in the NFC East.

If you think for one minute there is no animosity between
the Skins head coach and RGIII, well you are in denial or have your head
in the sand.

[Crazy Levi]

Worst qb in the east huh?

Week one always makes idiots out if people.

It looked for a second like that would be me but Machado swooped in and bailed me out.

I'm not gonna let you forget what you just wrote, that's for sure.

Evaluate week 1 and RGIII is more than likely the worst QB in
the NFC East.
How can you argue that???

Anyway, RGIII is very unsettled at the moment. Is lacking the confidence and explosion in his knee. The kid may never be able to duplicate his rookie season.

[bane]

You know he missed the entire preseason, right? He was rusty, no doubt, and I don't think his knee is all the way back yet, but predictions of never being the same are ridiculous. Cowboy fans are a rare breed of delusional.

Yes I am aware he did not play the entire pre-season.

My opinion has nothing to do with being a Cowboys fan.

I can see how you got there but incorrect.

So if RGIII is "not all the way back", why is the team running him out there and risking the health of his knee and their franchise player?
Why not keep him out until he is 100%? Whether that is 1, 2 or 3 games into the season??

[bane]

Come on. It has everything to do with you being a Cowboy fan and taking advantage of an opportunity to diss the division rival that made your team look like chumps last year.

Not at all. Of course I enjoy seeing them lose and the rest of the team
in the NFC East, but I have been commenting on the "drama" in Washington between the head coach and RGIII since the exhibition season.

The Eagles offense looked great last night and whatever team was going to open the 2013 season against them was going to lose the game. No chance to prepare for that offensive attack.
I believe the Chargers now have a short week to prep for the Eagles.

My main questions about the Eagles offense is:
How often can the Eagles expose Vick and keep him healthy
Can the O-Line sustain their energy level and not wear down as the season goes on
