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.

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

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…

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)

by MattR on Sep 7, 2008 11:51 AM MDT   0 recs

As the season goes on...

…and teams actually have records, the computer should make decisions that make more sense.

on his missed FG. They are now going for two after scoring a TD on fourth down.

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.

by MattR on Sep 7, 2008 12:06 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

Croyle done...

tried to throw a couple passes on the sidelines and shook his head and sat down….Some kind of shoulder injury….

Croyle got sacked pretty hard and his shoulder was driven to the ground with a DE on top of him

If you guys knew before hand

that Tom Brady was going to get hurt would you still pick the Pats?

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?

a Bengals fan?

Utecht is a known quantity to me, how about the others?

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’ve got either Jets at Mia (shudder, beyond watching Favre) or Seattle Buffalo, which is actually quite a good game here.

only I saw it like last year, maybe… I got laughter from sheer confusion as to how that could ever be on television

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”.

to be in the wildcard race they’ll need to win some divisional games. The way they look today they won’t win many…

as we know from the pundits both Houston and Tenn are better than everyone except NE and Indy

Because Tennessee has Vince Young.

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

by FlaBroncoFan on Sep 7, 2008 1:10 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

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….
