NFL 08 Thread

Well, since my Niners played their first game, the NFL preseason has officially started.

Smith looked good. The D looks like it's still trying to gel. They were flying around though, which I like to see

Let the games begin.

Skins Defense looks to be good as it used to be in years past the problem will be the O-line which just looked awful in its first outing. yes they had Heyor and not Samuels at LT but Heyor was a damn fine tackle at Maryland and part of the reason they could run the ball so I'm rather suprised he did as poorly as he did. Anyway the right side with Thomas and Jansen should have been much better than it was and Wade looked so-so at best. Simply put the O-line is a real worry and with a young Q it has me thinking 8-8 unless they gel in the next few weeks.

My Cleveland Browns won their preseason opener. Solid defense only gave up 3 points. The offense, however, was shaky. A fumble returned all the way by the Chiefs and a safety given up by Ken Dorsey were the low points. Hopefully, we will get the bugs ironed out (both of KC's defensive TD's were from stupid mistakes.) And hopefully the special teams will continue to play like they played. We won the game in the last minute and a half with a kickoff returned 88 yards for a TD!

Also, Brady Quinn did not play at all. Kind of surprising, but I'm sure he will get into the next few preseason games.

Fins beat the jags.

We're still gonna suck. Look at the roster. Damn buncha rookies. I'm going to practice crying. (Not that I need it, I do it all season every year.)

Matt Leinart settled with his baby mama. She's getting $12,500 a month in child support plus there's some sort of visitation schedule set up where he'll go see the kid in LA one weekend a month and she'll bring the kid to Phoenix one weekend a month etc....

Is it bad to start the season thinking that your "local" team's starting quarterback is a tool?

Further evidence is that he's been known to make out with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. So basically his college girlfriend was no longer good enough for him when he became "the shit".

To be fair, it seems somewhat convenient that they aren't together but she happened to get knocked up.

Actually how does that work? Is it the last second good bye sex that somehow makes people more fertile. I mean, it apparently happened to Tom Brady too. Or, is it more of a "I have a good thing but not that I'm really rich and famous there are all these hot women that want me so I think I'm going to go with that"?

As for actually playing football. The Cardinals have done just enough to give me a little hope that they might actually be good this year but I know that something will happen to quash that, even with the easiest schedule in the league (at least to start) I'm betting they'll find a way to pooch things somehow.

Don't forget over in the college game you can always root against Alabama. I'm thinking LSU vs 'Bama ought to be pretty good.

Cowboys beat the Super Bowl champs with Romo going 10 out of 11. *shrug* Just the pre-season though, and I don't give much credit for beating Peyton's team when he only plays one quarter.

I'll wait 'til September 9 to get excited. Bring on the Giants!

Totally OFF TOPIC: Why the FUCK, does this chick need a third of what I make a year, A MONTH? Allimony is fucking bullshit. This is like state sponsored prostitution, except she only has to have sex once.

On Topic: Even though they are in the division, I'm hoping the Cardinals do well this year.

Revan's Fire · Post by **Revan's Fire** » 2007-08-14 07:40pm

I have absolutely no idea how my Steelers are going to be this year. Absolutely no idea. Against New Orleans, Roethlisberger looked like he did during his first two seasons, and our D was practically unbeatable. Against the Packers? Offense struggles, Batch nearly outperforms Big Ben, and although Bryant McFadden and Polamalu were wonderful, we couldn't stop their second string quarterback all game!

Paranoia, thy name is preseason

NeoGoomba · Post by **NeoGoomba** » 2007-08-14 08:48pm

Well, we did get him for practically a song, so theres our break for the season

He SHOULD be ready by the season opener, but that just spells trouble for the first quarter of the season. If he can go 3-4 games without aggrivating it, I'll be much calmer.

John McCargo's foot is hurting...again. Thank whatever next year's draft is deep with D-lineman. No doubt Paul Pozsluzny will get first team reps after a solid performance and John DiGiorgio's air headed Mike Linebacking.

Is Darryl Revis still holding out?

According to the New York Times, late Tuesday night (1-2 hours ago) 'substantial progress' was made on his contract, so although nothing definite yet, it looks good.

Honest to God Chardok, if its that bad, I'll meet you at the Ralph this December with a thermous of Hot Chocolate and Scotch. Take solace from the fact that when Tom Brady isn't walking on water, recklessly siring children, or tossing INTs in the last five minutes of games, he's getting warm hugs from Jason Taylor.

Thomas Jones will not miss a game of the regular season though, if that is any consolation.

Frankly I have a gut feeling this is going to be a weird year where much money can be made (against the Raiders) and much more can be lost (ex: Mike Vick).

Speaking of the Raitards. I believe that they have still not come to terms with JaMarcus Russell.

Oh. Yes. Ravens open with a great pre-season performance.

Nah, Samuel Jackson just held a lightning rod too close to his face.

And on Revis, "We're pretty close, but we'll kind of see how it goes here," says Mangini. Thats such a crappy statement, it doesn't really instill much hope.
