First?

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Gotta go to another important live football game…. My step-son’s 13 and under league. See everyone in the second quarter, I hope = )

I can't believe that Abdullah and Crowder are both inactive

Predictions before the season began: 11-5 and a top five offense (I was probably too conservative).

by diehardbroncofan on Sep 21, 2008 1:10 PM MDT 0 recs

especially Crowder...

if we are going to stack the line with pass rushers today, why not deactivate another DT, and keep Crowder to play DT with Moss and Doom on the ends on passing downs?

by donbok1 on Sep 21, 2008 1:23 PM MDT up 0 recs

agreed

Both Ekuban and Crowder can slide inside and play DT. They must really like Josh Shaw.

by MattR on Sep 21, 2008 1:26 PM MDT up 0 recs

Wow

really interesting the Tim Crowder for Moss swap…
Also interesting the “starting safety” before the season has been inactive so much this year

early games

I can’t believe that Oakland is beating Buffalo by 9! Also, what happened to Steve Smith for Carolina?

Looking for Denver’s offence to post big numbers against an injured Saints team. Old fashioned shoot-out! It’d be a great game to go to… Hoping to see an interception for Champ too!

Brown scored again

Good grief Patriots aren’t even trying to tackle

by binford04 on Sep 21, 2008 1:15 PM MDT 0 recs

but

they are still a good team even without brady, right? right??

NO!

Brady would have made those tackles!!!

2-0.

by papigrande on Sep 21, 2008 1:21 PM MDT up 0 recs

Zone instead of man versus New Orleans?

Given that the Saints WR are not too impressive and their most dangerous receiving weapons are Shockey and Reggie Bush, is it beneficial to play Champ and Dre in zone (instead of the man coverage they usually play the vast majority of the time)

by MattR on Sep 21, 2008 1:15 PM MDT 0 recs

The Titans seem pretty scary this year

Especially with that defense.

Predictions before the season began: 11-5 and a top five offense (I was probably too conservative).

by diehardbroncofan on Sep 21, 2008 1:16 PM MDT 0 recs

I will top 200 today

2-0.

by papigrande on Sep 21, 2008 1:17 PM MDT 0 recs

Starting now.

2-0.

by papigrande on Sep 21, 2008 1:17 PM MDT up 0 recs

35-13 Dolphins

Ronnie Brown: 4 TD’s.

2-0.

Is it safe to assume Miami will cover?

They were getting 12.5 points :)

brown is a beast

And Novak misses one for the Chiefs

Wow

Even with Brady I’m not sure that this team would have been anywhere close to where they were last year.

I see I'm not the only one to pick 6-10 catches for BMarsh

I guess we all figured that New Orleans is going to be all over him while Fast Eddie and Scheffler run wild.

Agreed

After all of the arrogance that they displayed last year today is karma.

ah, that does not work

I finally figured out last week that the links only work for a little while after they are posted. So you have to wait for someone to post a fresh link instead of scrolling back and looking for older ones.
