I can't believe

Brett Favre's regular
season debut for the Jets is just moments away. Chad Pennington didn’t do much on the first drive against his old team.

Well that bodes well for my 5-11 prediction for the Lions....bodes not so well for my 3-13 Falcons prediction.

On his second drive,
Favre completed a 56-yard TD to Jerricho Cotchery. Sold the fake quite well.

He is in the locker room....
He was hit low, with his leg extended, after completing a pass to Moss

looked similar to the play where Carson Palmer was hurt...
a few years back although Brady didn’t look to be as hobbled as Palmer did after that play
The Pats were dead already....the super Bowl hangover curse.

Chiefs come back to reality....
Give up a 52 yard pass on 3rd and 11 from the 1 yardline. Moss already over 100 yards receiving…
-TSG

The Miami special teams looks like the 2007 Broncos
They’ve had a 9 yard punt and now a kickoff out of bounds.
And despite what the MHR computer says, my gut tells me to root against the Pats even though they are playing the Cheifs. (NE up 7-0 after Moss caught a 10yarderr from Cassel)
As the season goes on...
…and teams actually have records, the computer should make decisions that make more sense.

Michael Turner 9 for 135 and 2 td
ummm really
Jets have no placerkicker??

Looked like Nugent hurt his plant leg
on his missed FG. They are now going for two after scoring a TD on fourth down.
holy crap!!!

Favre on 4th and 13 at the 22 yard line gets nearly sacked and just throws it up and its caught for a TD. lmao

2pt conversion no good. lol
can’t believe Nugent cant even kick an extra point right now.

can't believe the jets have no other options
I can understand going for the TD over a 40 yd FG. But someone on the team has to be able to kick an XP.
i can
kick an extra point. dont they have someone on the team that can do it, maybe the punter perhaps
Favre is god-like, let him will the football through the uprights.

If you guys knew before hand
that Tom Brady was going to get hurt would you still pick the Pats?
To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle. - William Penn
Tom Arnold, of Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period, said this about Warren Sapp: "Hey, Warren, the Raiders signed you to a seven-year deal. I guess Bill Callahan was right --- they are the dumbest team in America."
Slow thread today
Is anyone here from Grand Junction? Im moving to Pittsburgh tomarrow and plan to make my first overnight in Grand Junction with my GF. Wondering where we should watch the game?
anyone here
a Bengals fan?
I’m wondering about their TE crew, how good/bad they might be…
Utecht is a known quantity to me, how about the others?
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I'm sure I'm one of very few here with this game
but Tampa Bay’s Tanard Jackson (FS) is a BEAST. He is one hell of a defensive back, he gets to the ball at the perfect time, every time.
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
yeah
I’ve got either Jets at Mia (shudder, beyond watching Favre) or Seattle Buffalo, which is actually quite a good game here.

HAHA never mind
He just got called a hold for tackleing the guy who beat him, and he got a trip earlier…
Off Topic:
Why does Fox have the WORST television? (i.e. “Hole in the Wall”)
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
Yeah i agree, i watched that exact thing on youtube 3 years ago off some japanese gameshow and it gave me a laugh for the 1 minute clip, but i couldnt imagine a whole show
same here
only I saw it like last year, maybe… I got laughter from sheer confusion as to how that could ever be on television

omg
i saw that and thought it was a joke.
They revel in having terrible, trashy television. The only good shows on fox they won’t keep on the air (Family Guy) because they are “too risque”.

Can anyone tell me
How Willie Parker is scoring 31 against me in one league?? What is Houston doing?!
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
roethlisberger is 13 for 14 too
so they aren’t defending anything
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I don't know if I like this or not
I don’t want Houston in the Wild card race as it’ll hurt Denver… but I like Houston…
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
In order for Houston...
to be in the wildcard race they’ll need to win some divisional games. The way they look today they won’t win many…
-TSG
www.milehighreport.com
well
as we know from the pundits both Houston and Tenn are better than everyone except NE and Indy
Because Tennessee has Vince Young.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
speaking of NE...
I saw Brady went out…
1. Any word yet?
2. Could KC actually beat them?? Huard just had a 13yd TD pass to Bowe
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
Only word...
was Brady is Questionable to return, which knowing the Pats means he is done for the day at least….
K.C. is running the ball well on NE, and the Pats were just forced to punt. It is getting very interesting….
-TSG
www.milehighreport.com
however...
Heins Ward is helping me in my other league… 19 pts so far.
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
not I... however
Brian moorman of the Bills just threw a TD… he’s the 2nd most versatile player in the NFL after Mike Leach.

I picked them to win

Carolina at San Diego
Anyone know if Jonathan Stewart is getting playing time? I hope this is the upset game of the day. It would be nice to see KC, SD and Oakland start the season with a loss.
Stewart is looking good

special note from a TB-NO observer:
The Saints’s D-line is this year’s Giants’s D-line.

I’d rather have Kerry Collins at QB than VY.
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
is NE double-covering
Bowe or Gonzo? They have to do it to one of them, and I don’t trust NE’s LBs or CBs…

TB down by four and on the NO side of the field with the ball. Can they help me overcome a stupid mental error in my pick this week? If they do, I shouldn’t get credit for it, but I’ll take it. lol

I can't believe Seattle picked up J. Jones. Take away one 24 yrd run and he's 11 for 15yrds.
at one point he was 7 carries for 1 yrd.
He got all his yards after the blowout.

"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
anyone in here getting a game other than
Cle-Dal? If so, keep us updated.
"I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays..."
My pointer stops working when it goes over the link.
I get a pointer that looks kind of like an “H” on its side. Weird.
New thread for late game up everyone. See you there!
