J-E-T-S SUCK SUCK SUCK!!! :D

Hmm...stepping out of bounds before the first down marker. Is this a new strategy I don't know about?

Hmm. Maybe you just suck at watching TV. The replay was clear that the man with that end of the chains moved about two yards to his left so that Dustin Keller wouldn't run into him. He did this while Keller was catching the ball, facing the other direction. Our Boy Dustin then ran out of bounds to the left of the marker, not noticing it had moved. No real blame to be had there. Were I a tight end, I probably would be used to telling where I get a first down by looking at the big veritical orange thing, and if I worked on the side lines I probably wouldn't want a tight end to run into me.

Now. Onto the rest of the team.

Defense--good job. Well, most of you. Antonio Cromartie--you know that once you make one awesome play, you have to keep making plays, right? An interception doesn't mean Coach Ryan will take you and the boys out for pizza after the game and then you get to sneak off and neck with a cheerleader. You know that, right?

Kyle Wilson: Look. Look. You're not in Boise anymore. Sure, the team you played last night takes their name from a poem, but that doesn't mean you're playing a small liberal arts college from I-AA. You're playing a real team with real receivers. Act like it.

Rest of defense: Good job. The Ravens really weren't spectacular last night. Joe Flacco showed excellent poise, but you still got to him, what, twice? Three times? Their run game was awful. You looked good out there, everybody-but-Cromartie-and-Wilson.

Offense: LT? Good job. Everybody else? Fuck you. Shonn Greene, you fucking butterfingers. You fumble twice and drop a screen pass? Yeah, fuck you. Braylon Edwards, is your beard cursed? Illegal shift and running into the kicker? Are you reaching into the rule book for obscure penalties? Are you going to spend all week thumbing through the NFL rule book and get us called next week for Falconry At An Inappropriate Time or Alchemical Practices or some shit? Jesus.

Brian Schottenheimer--I am coming for you. The fact you were a college backup doesn't mean you should train Mark Sanchez to play like a fucking college backup. You have Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller, and, out of the backfield, LT. That's a good set of receivers. Not pro bowl caliber, but good. And Schotty? You did nothing with them. You refused to throw deep against a Ravens defense whose only weakness was its secondary. Do you get a bonus for being drunk at game time through week 12 or something? Or are you just really good at hiding the liquor bottles from Rex and Woody?

Oh, and Dustin? Next time look at the ground. The marker on the ground--it's orange, too--showed where the real first down line was.
 
^ :lol: Wow, somebody's channeling his inner Timby! Needs more profanity and violence to match him, though. :guffaw:
 
The Jets looked godawful last night, I'd be embarrassed were I them given all the shit talk the rest of the football world has had to endure over the past months. They looked like a 2nd rate highschool team from Haiti. Without their D stepping up, that might have been the worst performance ever put on by a football team. They'll be lucky to put up 150 points overall this year.

Dunno if anyone heard but Ryan Grant's season is done, the Packer's Super Bowl hopes take a hit there for sure.

It seems injuries have been a massive story in Week 1 here - and yet the league wants to get 18 games in a season. Don't know if the players can hold up!
 
So if Vick gets hurt and Mike Kafka performs well, will Eagles fans suddenly demand he be given to the keys to the franchise too? :lol:
 
Man, KC is hopping tonight, what's in that rain?

I was at the game last night, and let me tell you, Arrowhead was absolutely rocking last night. I haven't seen it like that in years. The atmosphere before, during, and after the game was simply amazing. Man I'm wiped today and my throat is still sore from yelling and/or trying talk over the noise. What a night!

I'm not naive enough to believe the Chiefs are actually good, they got some help from God (wind and rain)and a gift fumble from the Chargers which helped them immensely and ultimately won the day for them. But I also give the defense credit for making the stops when they ABSOLUTELY HAD TO.
 
Wow, is Kansas going to be better than everyone was giving them credit for or is San Diego going to have a worse season than everyone was expecting?

Sure the Chiefs won last night, but it was during a driving rain and wind hampering the Chargers passing game. Two big plays by the Chiefs (fumble recovery & punt return) were the difference in the game. I wouldn't read too much into this final outcome. The Chiefs offense was PATHETIC.
 
Christ. Hunter Hillenmeyer has been placed on IR. There goes the Bears' linebacker depth.

Don't know if it's overconfidence in Brandon Jacobs and the front line or if a lot of Packer fans didn't really believe in Ryan Grant, but I'm about the only Packer fan I know that's even concerned about this. Odd.
 
Guys are going on IR like flies this year so far.

Every night I say a prayer for the knee ligaments of my favorite Patriots.

I don't know why, but in my head, Hillenmeyer has a reputation of always being injured but I Googled it and that's not really the case.

His latest injury sounds pretty serious though (something concussion-related) so hopefully the guy can recover from this.
 
Hillenmeyer's simply been a quality, reliable, serviceable linebacker for the Bears during his tenure. He's not a superstar, and he occasionally makes some mental mistakes, but he isn't an utter abortion at the position, either. Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, went on AM 670 this morning and said that Hillenmeyer has been suffering from dizzy spells and vision issues since he got clocked in Arizona.

I have a feeling he'll land on his feet, though. He's been spending the last few years working towards a career in banking and finance after his playing days are over, so he's been smart enough to plan for the future.

Apparently the Bears are about to sign retread Rod Wilson for depth. They look really stupid for letting Tim Shaw go, now. "Sure, let's keep Garrett Wolfe as our fourth running back when he's never going to see the field on offense, rather than keep a seventh linebacker - a position where everyone but Briggs and Shaw got hurt last year." Hurr.

I don't think this is a huge hit for the Packers. They're already running the majority of their offense out of the shotgun, and Brandon Jackson is looking pretty serviceable. Grant isn't an especially stellar running back, so he shouldn't be too hard to replace. Aaron Rodgers is already publicly lobbying for the team to acquire Marshawn Lynch (which probably wouldn't cost more than a 5th-round pick and a couple of footballs).

I have mega-farts of the typical variety this morning, for what it's worth.

I'm eager to see Pats-Jets this weekend, mainly because I want to see Coach Rex Cartman get egg on his face again. Is it just me, or do the Jets host the Pats in week 1 or 2 of every season?
 
Sorry, Brandon Jackson. Mega brain-fart.

I wondered what smelled in here this morning.

Blame the dogs. Our late lab could peel paint with his farts and you never heard them coming.

I drove 3 hours back from my parents' house to my place in MA on Sunday. My Lab basically burnt a hole in the upholstery and warped the window panes the whole way home.
