re: 2010 NFL Preseason

I'm hoping one of you guys or gals can help me out.....

I think I missed all the hype in the preseason magazines covering the Patriots being the "itshay" this yr, but it seems that after their game Thursday night both the NFL network and NFL.com are talking about the Pats, showing a repeat of their game, or creating another article. Today it's about Welker's worth. Who gives a rats ass? I'm sorry for ranting but their game was Thursday, I can see talking about them Fri. and move on. Why a story about them each and every day?

I guess I missed the memo saying they are going back to the SB.

It seems everyone in the media Loves the Pats and though they still have Brady imho they are long passed their peak and that 18-1 season killed their heart and soul.

I look for the Jets and Fins to battle for bragging rights to the AFC East, thats if Henne and Saneeze can live up to their billing as the next "Joe Willie" and "Dan the Man" their bosses would like us to believe. We shall see!

Doubt it, the Pats look very impressive, and I hate the Pats. The Jets starters did a very nice job, but once they left, the Gmen took control of the game. Jets have a nice stable of young Qbs like I state above, but Sorgi is better than any of them, with the exception of maybe Sanchez. This V Cruz burned the Jets badly, I think Mr Brady and co want some payback also. Jets maybe get a wildcard.

Well, that is what they are predicting, unless the Ravens knock them off. The Ravens are the preseason favorites, but the Pats are in the SB mix. Remember the NFL and the media make money off of any and all hype generated.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

I've seen more talk about the Pats then I have the Saints, Colts, Chargers, ... heck even Houston.

I guess I should be glad the Skins are off the media wire, but I mean heck you have AH liking the defense, Mike Shanahan and his first preseason game, Kyle Shanahan's debut as OC, Haslett's defense, Trent Williams first game, and probably many other stories. Instead they chose to follow the Pats who struggled last yr.

I guess I'm tired of hearing about the same lame teams, you know... Dallas, Pats, Colts, and Cinci.

Let them have the attention. Under the radar is the place to be.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

Think getting rid of Marshall is really going to open up the Broncos passing game...but it also gets rid of their biggest safety net. I think that will help Kyle Orton, personally.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

Carson is throwing the ball better today than I've seen in a long time. Since either the beginning of 2008 or back in 2007.

Champ has been even better in this quarter though.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

Orton throwing very well, but he tends to perform like this every August. Orton's passes begin to hang as weather becomes a factor.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

Well, Quinn couldn't hit the ocean with a football. Looked like a 52% passer out there.

And Brandon Lloyd scored.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason

Folks can now begin the "Tebow is clutch" hype. Scored a TD by running it in on the last play of the game. Apparently nicked up a DB as well.

Still, congrats to him.

I wonder how he would have done if those practice squad O-lineman had given him any time to throw. He got decked in the pocket several times, but made a few nice throws off of scrambles. He looked a helluva lot better than Brady Quinn.

Yes he did and that reciever should have caught that deep pass along the sideline on 3rd and long on his first series. Would have been 6.
