So far disappointed with the season. Mainly cause the Giants won. But hoping for a McNabbulous night!

I said that you can blame that loss on Matt Moore not the defense.

[quote=firstdown;731224]Did anyone see the Colts game and what the heck is up with them?[/quote]

The Texans just whipped them up front on both sides of the ball. Some Houston running lanes were huge. Manning never really got into a groove, his receivers dropped some crucial balls, and the Colts could not run effectively. Arian Foster looked great for the Texans but he should be buying dinner for his offensive line. Schaub looked ok throwing the ball but there was no reason for him to throw most of the time, as it was easy for them to pick up 7 yards a clip on the ground.

Translation: it pays to have a running game and not be one-dimensional. It also pays to have guys who can kill QBs.

Yeah. I forgot to mention that Manning got pretty battered, especially by Mario Williams.

There most cerebral QB in the league can't be battered by fat, slow linemen. He's a sex-core processor.

trust me, I agree, but you had some moron analysts assuming we'd be going QB with the top pick...remember when they said Clausen wouldn't fall beyond pick 10?

If Haynesworth continues to play undisciplined (let me get as many sacks as possible) football then theres no way he'll play much next week.

To me this is more like, great we have to play back-to-back two good running team on a 3-4 defense that everyone is just learning. Either way, let's hope for the best, but I hope my concerns don't become a reality.

SIDENOTE: I love how Andy Reid is cutting of Kevin Kolb's balls by bringing in Vick. I know there is no controversy or has nothing to do with Kolb losing his job. But as the commentators mentioned, it's his first start, they shouldn't be bothering that bringing in another QB.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

omg. Did anyone see the Eagles Leonard Weaver's knee get rolled up on?

Ugh looked ugly.

Yeah it looked bad. Tough thing to happen, esp in the first week.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Kolb with a pick.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Eagles sure look like they are missing Super 5...lol

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

[quote=Dirtbag359;731264]Kolb with a pick.[/quote]

Pick will be overruled as incomplete. Still, Kolb is shaken and as I said having Vick out there is not helping I'm sure.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

is it just me or does Kevin Kolb look like Eddie Izzard when he has his helmet on...

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Kolb a little rattled on that tackle from Matthews. How many runs have the Eagles called again?

The Eagles line is messed up.

Everyone's favorite future superstar QB Aaron Rodgers is beating that Eagles pass rush with a new strategy: handing off to Ryan Grant.

And the Eagles found a way to stop Grant by rolling up on his ankle.

Damn, this game is turning out to be the new body-bag game. Bodies falling down left and right.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Philly/Green Bay is turning into a body bag game.

He'll still get 20+ fantasy points this game.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

I've got Rodgers and Finley in FF this week. I'm hoping for a big game.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

[quote=SirClintonPortis;731279]He'll still get 20+ fantasy points this game.[/quote]Of course. You don't lose points for sacks unless you 1) fumble and 2) lose the fumble.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

[quote=SirClintonPortis;731272]Kolb a little rattled on that tackle from Matthews. How many runs have the Eagles called again?[/quote]

The Eagles have 0 passing yards? lol

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

The Eagles passing game looks like the Raiders passing game.

But most likely, we're looking at two defenses playing out of their minds: Tennessee and Green Bay.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

wow.... Kolb sucks.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Eagle fans have already turned on Kolb. So far trading away a franchise QB because of strong showings against New Orleans and Kansas City isn't looking like such a good idea.

They're Eagles fans, they'll turn on Kolb and once they pick up their first win, say they had Kolb's back all along.

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

Kolb's family is probably being....stoned by Eagle fans as we speak.........

Re: NFL regular season thread (week 1)
 

His wife is kinda hot, his passing kinda sucks...........man philadelphia are a bunch of idiots. Already booing him........

I hope it is equipped with bulletproof glass, as I am confident most Eagle fans are...packin' (no doubt in defense of other ...packin Eagle fans) Just ask Chief Z!

Brees used to annoy me when he was in San Diego. Every interview he would slaughter the word confidence by using it every other sentence. These days I can't help but like the guy.

Annnnd, they've benched Kolb already.
