Matt Ryan played the best game I've ever seen him play today. He willed that team to a win and it showed. Excited about what we might do this year.

I love how my Bucs used the first game to make clear that I need not harbor any hopes for this season. No false pretense.
You know what? Fuck everything. *cries-in-a-corner*
 
His wife literally didn't do anything to him except step towards him and he knocks her out?

Complete and total fuckwad. The fact the NFL just slapped his hands for this proves how much of a joke Goodell is.

Amazing what people think counts for a thread. Then again, this is why I generally avoid OT...and sometimes even Gaming Side

EDIT: Saw that video of the Ray Rice attack. How the hell does the NFL not slap him with a retroactive punishment?

They can't without ticking of the player's union (and Goodell is going to want to keep them on his good side with the new drug policy they're trying to pass).

That video isn't going to help the NFL, and Goodell's image, that's for damn sure.
 
Think the NFLs mishandle a lot of situations this offseason

I can get suspending Gordon for the whole year, but hell atleast let him be able to spend time with the team. If goodell really wants to help players atleast help out with Gordon's support system by letting him be with the team even if he can't play. Just left him out to dry

Irsay punishment, all around joke

Rice, video really speaks for itself. Only the extreme back lash by national media outlets caused a change to the policy. (CNN, abc, etc were reporting on it)

Not to legitimize it but I think she hit him with her arm or elbow. Shitty video but that's what they may have talked about in the past.

She, however, needs the concussion protocol, when you look at the conference where she and Rice are together. Are we sure she's not still having symptoms?

And their excuse she instigated the fight is very suspect. He's a huge dude. There was no way he was worried about her harming him. Her 'attack' is barely there.

Why I don't like Goddell. He has other 'considerations' and he's not fit to have so much power.

Actually, I'm not sure she hit him in the elevator. I wonder if they were talking about what happened before they got on the elevator.

I wonder if both Whoopi and Steven A Smith feel dumb. This video was available and I don't really feel like I care what she did to him. They were fighting each other verbally and there's no way ray rice felt threatened by her. He's just a dick. And the NFL trolled the hell out of the media with their bs story.

I expect some backlash and threads like everything else.

But I feel like I pretty much know what to expect from the game, playing the alpha and beta extensively. I'm pretty pumped

After getting nearly $60 worth out of the beta, I think it's going to be a good game. If it's just more of the beta then that's awesome. I'm not sure what people are expecting?

Cutler threw for 49,which was completely unnecessary. Forte was running very well today.

I have finally come to the realization that Cutler is who he is. I held hope that QB guru Trestman could fix Cutler. Nope. Finally. Getting a solid O-Line. Nope. Amazing surrounding weapons. Nope. He is always going to have poor mechanics, throwing off his back foot, forcing throws that are not there, and making mind numbing decisions. He should have been picked at least two more times today. Cutler is surrounded with the best RB, WR, TE combo in the league (arguably) and he still can't rise to the level he is expected to (at least according to how much he is being paid).

Also that revamped D-Line did not provide much pressure today. It's only one game but... Yeah we lost the the Fucking Bills. Hey, at least we are not the Rams. They really set themselves back having all those high draft picks and no bright future to show for it.

Looking forward to 0-2!

I think the Bears may have been more successful with Kyle Orton instead of Cutler. Something about Cutler makes the coaches forget that Matt Forte exists. This was also a big problem in the Lovie Smith era as well and I'm glad to see CFL make the same mistakes.

I'm not sure if Cutler would accept a reduced role of only throwing it 30 times a game though since he seems like the type to want to win the game with his arm just like Favre or Romo.

Don't say that. Did you forget what's it like without football. We should have games every night.
It's not natural.

Football is for Sundays. We looked the other way for MNF but this is going too far.

Take away my concerns these two teams have like 5 minutes to get ready for the game. It's stupid. Hopefully this works to my teams benefit and the Ravens don't have time to watch the 2nd half of our last game....

Btw did you get shipped to Detroit yet? Get your butthole ready for some cold ass weather!

WHY do people hate Ohio so much? I think I should visit the state someday and find out whats so despised about it. With 11 million people in it there should be plenty to do and see, some nice parks and amenities, theme parks and great museums and stuff. How is that a bad thing? Im just mystified by this. Why dont people hate Michigan as much, or Indiana? Or Iowa? Surely those states are even worse?
 
Good morning. This is one of those "just make it till lunch" days; lunch is when you can at least see the end of the day coming. Needless to say I can't wait for tonight and MNF. It's not often that the Lions get a signature game like this. I'm excited and confident: I fully expect that we're going to win this game. The schedule is full of tough games and assuming we're not great (not hard to assume as a Lions fan) I think 8-8 is about as good as we can hope for. But this should be a win.

And if not this is going to be a VERY long season.

In hospital?
:lol

I was about to make this joke.

Speaking of Gata's getting assaulted. How badly will Pats GAF turn on him if they go 0-2?

And what will happen if AP drops 300 yards on them and they go 0-3?

I look forward to this possible Pats GAF civil war. Been waiting a long time for this...

Why would they turn on me?
