I knew I shouldn't have picked the Giants to win tonight. Beating the Cards and Saints really doesn't mean a whole lot, but I assumed their defense was a bit better than what they're displaying right now.
 
Ugh where is our award winning D? (The award they won was the CK Award of Awesomeness)

The offense is good but they can't do it all. :|

Yeah, as soon as they ran the ball again, I realized the Steelers didn't stop him in time. I figured if they got far enough from that point on, Vinatieri would seal the deal... and he did. Bastard. :D


Big Ben is awesome. I know he still shows rookie status by reading plays off of his arm and whatnot, but just the fact that he's basically head to head with Tom Brady, who has a lot more experience, is amazing. If he keeps it up, imagine how good he'll be in a couple years.


Definitely. I don't doubt for one second that when given a second chance we can beat them. It's still early.

I still say when Ward (I think it was Ward?) tried to do that last second pass in the second quarter... wow, that was a bad idea. Other than that I can't really fault the Steelers for anything. The final score shows it. NE got lucky at the last second. :)

It was Randle El that did the genius lateral when we were on the 9 yard line turning a sure TD into a Pats possession.

Still it is just an early loss and a few more plays and we had them. Our upcoming schedule looks brutal though. I am worried about Jacksonville and San Diego.

You're upcoming schedule looks brutal? Try the Packers, Cardinals, Lions and Vikings! Shit, the way we've looked against mediocre teams, we're gonna be 1-6!
 
I really don't understand why they didn't just take the penalty at the end of the kick. They would have had good field position, all things considered.
 
Do the Manning brothers ever just stand in the pocket and take the hit to make the play? I swear that extra second could sometimes get Eli some really big plays.
 
Bring back Sharpe and whats-his-name from last week. 100x better than this crew. Not even 50 HOLY COWs can save this mob.

On the topic of annoying commentary, and slingin' and slangin', guess who's @ Carolina for next monday night?

It could be a long, painful year for Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.

While the world watched McNabb suffer a bruised sternum on national television in the opener, a new injury has flared up for the star quarterback — an injury the team fears could affect him for the remainder of the season.

FOXSports.com has learned that this week the Eagles star quarterback was tested for a sports hernia, a very vague tear or "disruption" in the abdominal area that does require surgery. McNabb had an MRI taken early this week and the results were sent to America's foremost sports hernia expert Dr. William Meyers.

According to those close to McNabb, the MRI was not conclusive enough to determine whether or not McNabb had an abdominal strain or a sports hernia. Often an MRI doesn't show a sports hernia in the early stages. In fact, in many cases a proper diagnosis cannot be made for quite a while.

But if McNabb does have a sports hernia, it would explain his reluctance so far this season to run with the ball. Fans and media have been wondering why McNabb has not run the ball as often as in the past. Heading into Week 3, he had just the one rush for no gain. Such an injury is excruciating when a player tries to open it up.

If, in fact, McNabb's ab strain turns out to be a sports hernia then he will have to play through the pain in the area for the remainder of the season as rest and treatment won't really cure the problem. Surgery would also be required following the year. The team would have to monitor his reps in practice throughout the season and rest him at times during the week until the Eagles season is complete.

The painful injury may have resulted from how much work McNabb does on his core. McNabb was first tested for the injury when he tweaked his core area in camp but at that point too Meyers found nothing conclusive. The fact that the pain is still prevalent has led the team to fear that he could have a sports hernia.

Sports hernias are prevalent in many athletes and can linger painfully for a while as making a definitive determination is still difficult in the medical field. The team's hope is that he simply has an abdominal strain that won't go away. That at least would preclude him from having surgery and treatment would also eventually alleviate the problem.

If McNabb does end up needing surgery for a sports hernia, he could expect to be sidelined for four to six weeks. But even if surgery is required, the team does not anticipate him having it during the season.

11 passing attempts
7 rushing attempts.

Why in the HOLY FUCK, with Tiki Barber and rookie sensation Brandon Jacobs does Coughlin and his offensive staff insist on throwing so goddamned much!? It's the fucking second quarter and you're down 11, it's not the end of the world, you can still play your game.

They need to play last year's Steeler ball. I really don't see why they aren't.

You can't run the ball on Eli Manning day.

Chargers are raping the G Men.
 
"Look at his hands, he catches it with his hands"

Really? i thought he caught it with his dick
 
Just send the offense out to play defense next time.

And why are they on Neal's cock so much? He's doing what every fullback in the league does.
 
Can the Giants D play the fucking pass? Argh! I don't care if they lose, but Sickboy's getting kinda ridiculous luck with Brees and Gates right now. Meanwhile Tiki's a no-show for my team. :( All I need is a TD from Tiki and I'll be fine. And maybe a Giant's pick or two. But it's really fucking close right now. Fire Coughlin. PEACE.
 
Two things:

1. The NCAA Football 06 gameplan from Marty is working a treat.

2. I'm really, really glad I changed my pick in the league to the Chargers at the last minute. :lol
 
They only talk about like 3 things.

1) Eli is the most "poised" player ever and he is also the best guy ever
2) Gates catches the ball with his fucking HANDS, might revolutionize the position with his new ball catching technique
3) LT didn't catch a single pass in the first two games --> probably wasn't using his hands

Ah well, I guess you can't win all the games. GG Chargers.

Oh wait, I guess you CAN win all the games! http://www.leaguedaddy.com/leagues/?lid=1307&welcome=1 GO GIANTS!

Naw he tried to catch with his ass cheeks, now that Gates has taught him this revolutionary thing called hands, he's finally making catches.
 
Man, the Chargers really want nothing to do with Ponder. Dante Hall barely ellicits this kind of special teams avoidance.
 
"Watch him...I'm gonna tell you something...you better block him!"

Really? I thought you were supposed to let defensive players right through

Cause our offensive coordination is fucking retarded.

They just heard about the "catch the ball with your hands" thing that Gates invented and they are too excited to try it out to run the ball.

Frustration? Bothering him?

But this is the Iceman. The most poised man ever. The man who is so stable that if you take a bat to his scrotum, he'll still stand in there and not be phased.

Frustrated? No I don't think so.
 
Manning about to get his first TD on the road.

P.S. Burress is worthless as Pittsburgh fans know. He always disappears in pressure situations.
