He's a rookie. Gotta go after him.Archaix said:Is it just me, or has Stanford Routt been covering every wide receiver on every play of this game? I haven't heard another corner's name called yet, but every time there's a play(good or bad), Routt's right there in the middle of everything.
Raiders O-line is inconsistent much like last year.
Collins must think hes playing Madden or something. How many times has he thrown at Moss into double or triple coverage
FrenchMovieTheme said:not only is collins playing madden, but apparently the patriots are using the 3-man spread line cheese, cause they seem to be only rushing 3 at times and still getting quick sacks on collins.
the raiders offense looked so good in preseason too. i guess that's why no one gives a shit about what happens in preseason
Shawnwhann said:Wow...I have just been owned by Collins and Anderson. Fuck the conversion and the game is officially over.
Ram-blings
Tight end Eric Johnson, the 49ers' top receiver last year, is doubtful because of an arch injury. ... The Rams have won seven of 10 openers since moving to St. Louis. ... Martz and new 49ers coach Mike Nolan were on Norv Turner's Redskins staff in 1997 and '98

As a die-hard, I show my face after a loss and not be a flat out pussy like some of these sudden Raider fans. Anyway, I expected a 20 point beat down, I can't say I'm happy, but I really expecting a major embarrassment.
Good Times
* MOSS THIS MOSS THAT - this week's NFL highlight for sure. And I'm not talking about that Rock Bottom he put on that DB during that 2pt attempt. That catch was awesome, and he faked out one of the best tacklers in the game. Thank you, fantasy points! Suck in down, Vikes, go enjoy Koren Robinson, a poor man's Randy Moss who showed up for a DUI hearing, DRUNK (Thanks Rome!)
I know it was only one game, but it looks like the 2005 Raiders will become the first team to employ the "Screw it, four times a half, we're throwing it deep to Moss and seeing what happens." I have been arguing this strategy for six years. Why not? In the average Moss game, he'll catch two of them and maybe even draw a pass interference on a third one. So why not roll the dice? I never understood this.
BROWNS (+3.5) over Bengals
When in doubt, take the points. By the way, do you think Trent Dilfer ever brings his Super Bowl ring into work to show his teammates, leading to the following exchange:
Rookie on the team: "That thing is awesome! What team did you win it on?"
Trent (proudly): "The 2000 Ravens."
Rookie: "Cool. Who were you backing up that year?"
Trent (proudly): "Actually, I started every game."
Rookie (breaking up laughing): "C'mon, man -- I know you start for us, but we suck! You didn't start for no Super Bowl champs!"
Trent (grimacing): "No, seriously, I did -- I started that year."
(Awkward silence. Finally...)
Rookie (breaking up again): "Get the hell out of here!"
LIONS (-3) over Packers
Stinker game of the week. I was thinking about it -- there are going to be so many bad NFC games this season, Fox needs to break out some sort of gimmick for them. Why couldn't they bring old announcing teams back, like Charlie Jones and Merlin Olsen, or Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy, or even Frank Gifford and O.J. Simpson? Or what's wrong with various cast members of their shows announcing the games every week? What's wrong with a little cross-promotion? Welcome to the Silverdome, I'm Will Arnett from "Arrested Development" ... I'm joined by the guy who plays Dr. Gregory House, Julie Cooper from "The OC" and Tony Siragusa..
eric johnson out? i dont forsee any problems stopping the niner offense then

Eagles (PK) over FALCONS
Quick preview impression of Michaels and Madden on Monday night:
Michaels: "Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb?"
Madden: "Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."
Michaels: "Which raises a great point -- Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."
Madden: "Absolutely. Al, this is what it's all about, right here -- Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb."
Michaels: "Let's go down to Michele Tafoya."
Tafoya: "Al, I just talked to Andy Reid, and he said, 'Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb Terrell Owens Donovan McNabb...'"
skinnyrattler said:I think I just saw Mike Vick on the local news blaming the Falcon's loss last January on the cold weather. He says it'll be totally different now that it'll be 70 degrees in the dome.
That's about as dumb as the dirty bird.
Might not be the total reason for the loss, but it played a factor.
FrenchMovieTheme said:uh, dont forget your secondary is pure garbage. even you know that. i don't have much confidence in our receivers yet at this point, but i do know our receivers are better than your DB's. the question is whether our o-line is going to be better than leonard the drunk driving murderer little. if Rat gets time he's going to rape the shit out of you. we proved that in his first ever NFL start against the "favored" rams. i believe we won that game 30-10.... without eric johnson![]()

holy crap thats alot of money.. I didnt know they were worth so much.
Both CBS and Fox are expected to televise the introduction of the Saints' players, feeling that football fans everywhere will be interested.
TheDuce22 said:So you actually believe there is a chance that the weather is the TOTAL reason they lost. I too remember the "experts" talking about how windy conditions would favor the running team. Now all the sudden its the reason you lost. Something tells me Jim Mora is feeding this crap to his players. The NFC South is full of dickhead coaches. Very few head coaches in the nfl throw around bullshit excuses, the majority of the ones that do are in the nfc south.
Jim Mora has said time and time again that he respects the Eagles franchise from top to bottom and that he knows when it comes down to it the better team won the NFC title game.
tmdorsey said:I said "might" because I can not say it totally wasn't just because I wasn't there on the field playing so I can't say how it affected the teams performance. I do think they[Falcons] underestimated the impact the weather would be on them.
The only coach you may can call a dickhead in the NFC South is probably Gruden. Jim Mora has said time and time again that he respects the Eagles franchise from top to bottom and that he knows when it comes down to it the better team won the NFC title game. So don't go making half assed assumptions about coaches you don't know anything about.
