Wondering if I should make a trade of Matt Ryan for Kaepernick...I don't like the Falcons offensive coordinator.
My biggest concern is Wendell hiking the ball at Brady's ankles and knees like 10 times in the game.

The Giants are clearly the better team. Six or seven crappy turnovers, some of them fluky, and they still almost won or at least could have tied. If this were the middle of the season the Giants would have won that game, but it was week 1 and they were just sloppy as hell.
P.S. Why no Reggie gifs?

So glad that football is back. All of this stuff is amazing. Even after a loss, it feels good.
So if a team makes a ton of mistakes and loses, they are clearly the better team?

FINALLY its game day for my team. Thursday seems like an eternity ago.
this is awesome.
Isn't Walter on PUP? I couldn't imagine he would be allowed to not be with the team on a saturday before a game if he was active.So I bumped into Chris Meyers (texans center) and Kevin Walter (former "best blocking" receiving in the league) getting some Froyo on Saturday. I guess they are still bros.
Just to note Chris didn't get Froyo for himself just his kids. Gotta watch that figure.
Kevin Walter did though! Must have been anxious about his Titans debut.
(editr should I say is recovering from some injury)
Any that's your report for TMZ Sports Houston.
this is awesome.
it really is.

In good news, the O Line was really solid all night for the Packers. Outside of that first sack Rodgers seemed comfortable in the pocket most of the game. Run wise they didn't look too hot though, but as long as we can keep Rodgers upright against good defenses like that we've got a promising season ahead of us.
Really sloppy game by the Giants last night, they looked completely unprepared out there. I hate to say it, but I think the blame lies squarely on the coaching staff. I know he's done a lot for us, but that only goes so far. I think it's time they fire Coughlin.
Now that it's out there, the Giants will start playing better, right? RIGHT?!
Yeah I was super confused seeing him there. Now it all makes sense.

About my 1800 total yards prediction looking genius or handing in my v-card? Either way, thank you!
You know what I'm trying to say. They're not going to turn it over another half-dozen times the next time they play. It was just a sloppy, unprepared week 1 performance. This Giants team always shits the bed early and then turn it on in the second half of the season. Still had a chance to win it despite a horrific performance.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone for me and my mom, everyone! I forgot to properly thank you all last night and felt bad about this morning (frustrated during the game).
Some interesting stuff on Justin Pugh:
-He was the first Giants rookie to start a season opener since linebacker Greg Jones in 2011
- He wasthe first Giants offensive rookie to start an opener since tight end Michael Matthews on Sept. 9, 2007;
- Also the first Giants rookie offensive lineman to start an opener since Chris Snee in 2004 - Finally, he's the first Giants first-round draft choice to start a season opener since tight end Jeremy Shockey in 2002.
I'd like to sit down with Rewind and get another look at his performance but he played well and had Ware lined up on him several times in the game. Good start for him and if he continue to play the way he did, there's no chance in hell Diehl will be reinserted into the lineup.
Beatty also had a pretty nice game considering he was matched up one on one with Ware with several times. Like I said last night, for once our tackles aren't the issue. It's the interior of the line that's a mess and it's gotta get fixed. You'd think first time starter Brewer would be the stand out problem but Snee was awful last night, too. Watching him degrade over the years has been depressing considering how dominant he was for years.

So it looks like Wallace was indeed pissed off about a lack of targets, and that's only the beginning of the attitude problems for the Dolphins:

Then there's Paul Soliai:

Ireland needs to go if this keeps up. That's the bottom line.
I would too if I was a Buc fan.

I wouldn't call the O-Line solid. They failed to give Rodgers a running lane so he couldn't step up in the pocket or scramby.
It could have been worse, though.
All I know is Wallace and Miller are looking like pretty questionable choices on my part :\
still scoring most points this week

Yep, they are burning me in a league or two as well.
Looking at the game against Indy next week and I noticed Luck was sacked 4 times and only had 23 pass attempts. Dolphins d-line will be licking their chops.

Bioshock Infinite is the weirdest thing for me.
The experience was amazing but the "game" is broken as fuck.
If only it were as perfect as the Barbershop Quartet song.

Holy shit what a disaster that team is

The gunplay is way better on PC when you can run the game at 60 and have the quick snappy fire that the mouse provides.
I actually want to jump into the horde mode DLC on PC whereas before hand I thought the idea was dumb based off of only having played the console version.

Let's not lose perspective here, the team had a solid win yesterday and is 1-0. Obviously they have some issues to deal with but "disaster" seems a little harsh at this point.
Great sign when your team acts like they won the SB by looking slightly less shitty than a team with a ton of injuries on week one.

Is it next Sunday yet. Although I'm worried about playing in Arizona. That's always been pretty tough there.

Why don't the Jags just get the conversation out of the way and sign tebow?
also
Had the victory gifted to him by the Bucs D, to then act like he's Jesus on a football field, also with him standing on that bench after the kick.
Hate him already.
Funny how the Titans used to be a rival, but now they have become our punching bag.
I hope it stays that way, we'll see.
Flipping off your own sideline and blowing up during a win is pretty bad IMO.

He is going to crash and burn. Winning this game is probably a bad thing for him because it will continue to fuel his ego, making the crash back to reality even more difficult to deal with.
Ryan Leaf won his first two games.
Sounds like Philbin and Ireland can't really run a team.
Who the hell is Jurrel Casey?
Reminds me of that titan last year saying except for two sacks I shut down JJ Watt.
Impressive win for the Chiefs, Alex smith and Andy Reid. I think they make the playoffs.
Anyways, Kap looked fucking amazing out there. Constantly going through three or more progressions, reading the defense and checking to the correct play, and sliding whenever possible. Huge improvement over last year already.

Except that last play haha
Gabbert is shit. I'd wait for week 2 to set a better idea on the chiefs. A W is a W tho

Definitely some indications of that at least but the fact remains the team is 1-0 and looks fairly solid. If these attitude issues continue to persist and eventually cause the team to start losing games I will agree with you guys entirely, but it's too early for me to say that now.
