True, I thought that after I posted.
I'll throw out my favorite Kordell standard, "It's not about Kordell. This isn't the Kordell Stewart Show."

Thanks for the Eli slideshow Bowser. However, one day in the future Eli will have a competent OL and you will rue the day you mocked him as the Giants run roughshod over your one hit wonder team.
Is there anything funnier than Ravens and Steeler fans cussing Kordell? I don't think so. Pace yourselves boys, it's barely mid-August. Just wait until Boller gets hurt again.

Hey, I'm not cursing Kordell. I'm hoping he plays. I'm hoping he plays a lot. That's a division rival there, I'd never curse out the best shot they have at screwing up the divisional title they deserve.
You aren't one of those people who actually thinks that Kordell can still be an NFL starter, are you? I didn't think you people still existed after last year in Chicago.
edit: Oh hell, I just heard on sportscenter(don't know if they said it during the game, I was flipping back and forth in the second half there) that Buckhalter is likely out for the season. Damn, maybe the Eagles really are going to stop running altogether.

Well, depending on how the season goes, I figure there's a good chance of rabid Ben or Tommy debates this year that won't allow much room for Kordell bashing. So we kind of have to get our final shots in now.
Of course, when he plays like he did tonight, it is kind of too easy.

I think the love-hate relationship that Steeler Nation had with Kordell is fascinating. It's amazing how he would lead everyone on that he was the answer at QB and then completely melt down in important games.
Plus, he's the easiest target in the NFL. Think how many times somebody has said something derogatory about Kordell. The mind boggles.
Ravens fans, just think how good you would be with an above average QB. Think how good you would have been in '01. Again, the mind boggles.

This discussion happened last week. Nobody who was a Steelers fan thought Kordell was a great QB. Very few thought he was even a good QB. Watching playoff games was a struggle because you just knew Kordell would go and fuck everything that the running game and defense worked hard to create.
There's a reason he is an easy target. He was an extremely overrated quarterback. Half the country was bitching and moaning about how Stewart just went to the pro bowl when he was benched, and then by week 8 the same people questioned aloud why he was still starting in Chicago. And now he's on one of our biggest rivals. It's hard not to mock them for picking him up(Although, he did generally play well against Baltimore. But in Steelers-Ravens games, everything you know goes out the window. Jamal doesn't play well, the Steelers do the exact opposite of what they do every other game, and it's almost always an ugly, ugly fight for the win).
As for why the Ravens fans are mocking him, ask Bears fans. They know all too intimately how it feels.

Watching them take the field in that ridiculous formation the other night was pretty funny.
Tod Pinkston knocking Ray Lewis out of the play. He should commit suicide immediatly.
Anyway the eagles played a decent game. Mcnabb looked good considering he was under constant pressure. The Buckhalter injury hurts bad but Westbrook is our playmaker. Finding another runner to pound it in there shouldnt be to difficult. Hopefully our offensive line can get it together. Also Kordell Stewart is one of the worst Qb's I have ever seen.

Just thought I'd post Delhomme's statline cause he was TEARING shit up in just one half
Amazing.
And don't forgot his rushing TD either!
FEAR JAKE DELHOMME!
While the Giant's defense he was up against looked down right appaling at times, I think Delhomme is actually a much better QB than he's given credit for. People look at his stats from last year and right him off as average but he played most of the season under a very tight leash. After the show Delhomme put on in the second half of the SuperBowl against the Patriots defense I think he's in line for a great season as long as John Fox opens up the playbook.
Great attempt at humor with your lame quotes by the way. Maybe if you picked someone more deserving of ridicule (cough cough Dayne and his fumbling cough cough) then even you might sound like a funny guy. Now if you were trying to make me feel some regret that I'd been rooting for the Panther's through the NFC playoffs and Super Bowl last season then you're pushing in the right direction.
Here's a Panther fan's take on Delhomme.
He has looked great this pre-season, and throughout the post-season last year he was unreal.
Many people (i.e. Panther Fans) don't remember, and non-fans don't know, that Jake almost got benched around game 10 or so last year. He has a bad habit of throwing 2-3 passes a game that he wishes he could get back. That very pass reared it's ugly head against the Giants last night, throwing right into triple coverage. Luckily it was dropped, but he needs to drop that habit.
Jake is the man, I trust him completely as a fan. I was at the game against Jacksonville when he led us from 0-17 back to the win. But if he would just lose that feeling of needing to test the D, he could be a damn special QB. As he is, he's the best QB ever to suit up for Carolina.
He was one or two more bad throws last year from getting benched though, make no mistake about it.

That was total karma gone wrong. NFL rules are complicated, but there's no reason a ref should have blown his whistle prematurely on the first TD. That should have been our ball. The second I thought was karma making things right, but there clearly was a Panther in the nuetral zone. I guess karma manifested itself in the win, but RARELY do you see a back fumble twice on the goal line and still get a freaking TD.

Did you see Del Rio's post-game interview? "Chandler - cut. Scobee - cut. And if anyone out there knows a kicker, drop me an e-mail..."
Perhaps he's trying to work out why it isn't a touchdown when the receiver controls the ball and gets three feet down in the endzone. He's not the only one... Seems like it's not just the players who are making mistakes in the pre-season.

lemme tell you something son, this guy is SO FARKING HUGE HE'LL FLEX AND DESTROY THE SUN no shit
LOL iapetus. I didn't get to finish watching the game (had to stop before halftime unfortunately to go handle other business ), but I was flabbergasted that the Jags kicker easily could have had the Jags up 9-0 before I stopped watching.
Oh, :| @ Griese. Looks like he'll be our 3rd string QB. Oh, and >:| @ Penalties. Steussie's facemask brings back a nice 20+ yd pass from Brad to Joey, that could have changed the first half a little. Bill Muir's got some 'splainin' to do....
How'd Simms and the backup D do? I'm assuming he got the bulk of the second half play.
EDIT: From what I got to watch, Jags seem to have a nice front 7 and your passing game was rather good.

They surely wouldn't want to let him go to Miami, unless they could go ahead and rape Miami's defenseBowser said:
Of course, that's not even a possibility as Buffalo's defense is far too good to trade away a back like McGahee to improve. I still think they should start Henry, though. His fumbles went way down last season, and he's got 2800 yards rushing in his second and third year in the league. He's a top tier back in the NFL if he drops his fumbles again, and McGahee is still a question mark.
WTF M8! Booker traded to the Dolphins for Ogunleye?!
http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2682788
As much as I like Booker, I think this is a great move on the Bears part. We are stacked at the WR position. I'd hate to get rid of Book but damn we need a defensive lineman who can rush like crazy...!!!! Angelo don't blow this deal!

I think I need a midnight green version of that crying blob from BuddyChrist.
I didn't get a chance to see the game but listened to the 2nd quarter on the radio, which I might add can be better than actual TV. The guys on 94.1 are fuckin great. Sometimes, it's better to watch the game on TV on mute with the radio on in the background.
BTW, ESPN's replays were they get the clips from local radio guys calling the great plays is a great addition to the highlight reels you see on Sportscenter.
Is there a clip of the J.R. Reed runback? Was it a punt or a kickoff? I couldn't tell as I was on the Jersey turnpike beeping the horn and yelling out the window doing 80mph to tell. Hopefully he'll add a big threat to the Iggles. All the guys on the radio could say was 'he just won the starting spot.' I need that clip.

Chambers, Boston and Booker
That could be a great trio next year
But still, FUCK YOU RICKY WILLIAMS

Well, the Steelers secondary is intact against the Texans tonight. Let's hope this doesn't get too ugly.
Also, unfortunately, Bell is out for the game. Haggans I don't much mind being gone, but Bell is an interior backer and a great player. Can't get a real look at the defense without him.
edit: I love you, Hines Ward. Please never leave me.

There was a clip on the eagles message board but apparently it crashed after the injury report was updated. Trotter and Reese are the new ones go to down.

Well that's just kind of mean that the Steelers are keeping their first team defense in. First their offense keeps the Texans starters off the field the entire game, and now their defense is going to go ahead and take the backups out of the game by keeping the starting defenders in.
SteveMeister
Hang out with Steve.
Solid, clean effort by the Redskins. Defense was really good the entire game. Brunell cemented his starting position. Not so sure Ramsey's quite ready yet. Granted, Miami is torn apart by injuries, but even so the 'skins did a good job. Can't wait to see what else Gibbs has cooked up for the regular season!
Redskins 17, Dolphins 0

Wow, we got our ass kicked. Dave Ragone is a jackass... he was leaving all our receivers out to dry in the 2nd half. Tony Hollings left the game with an injury to his ribs I think after the dumbshit lobbed a pass at him with 2 LBs ready to strike.
Anyway, Ward looked good. Too good.

Too good.Damnit Niners. DAMNIT. If Fred Beasley was playing, Kevan Barlow would've done so much better, oh well.
This is going to be a harsh year. I just hope Kevan Barlow shows up like i think he will and doesnt fumble quite so often; Maybe even Brandon Llyod will be able to step up his game.
