Diablos said: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.
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.![]()

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.

The Sunday stud list. And guess who didn't make it:
Shaun Alexander: 22 rush, 140 rush yards, 4 TDs
Steve Smith: 11 rec, 170 rec yards, 3 TDs
And somehow neither are on the list.

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.

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.

Really? i thought he caught it with his dick

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
