MantaRay Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Don't get me wrong, I'd be very surprised if Britt wound up being a 1000 yard receiver this year...I was just puzzled why everyone was dissing him for having the dropsies when he had almost 90 catches last year (87) and was a first-round pick. I never dissed him for drops, I was just wondering the value of Britt considering the Titans are a run first team and their big free agent signing was another WR (Washington) to along with Gage. Granted - this is a hockey site but.. I am a HUGE Dallas Cowboys fan. (jersey doesn't have a home team. If we did, there would be a J next that N with those teams in the Swamp). I am excited! Fall is just great aint it? Hockey AND NFL.. it's not non-stop violence and wings. :=) BTW - anyone else catching football games with me at Arena on Sunday? They got the Direct TV NFL Ticket! Welcome aboard. The Devils and the NFL are what gets the juices flowing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I just grew to love the arena bar a lil more now if only you guys could show WWE PPV shows you'd be beyond amazing!!!! If I'm not in Sun Tavern by 1245 at my seat with the laptop plugged in, the bartenders run a search party starting with where I live till they find me.... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington is a No. 3 receiver at best, and judging by how Tennessee used him last night, it looks like they see him as exactly that. Gage looks like the guy who will be challenging for that top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I have Pittsburgh's defense in my league. This doesn't make me happy. Ditto...after picking the Chicago and Minnesota defenses in the middle of my draft two years running I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I couldn't resist getting Pittsburgh in the early ninth round, they were the one sure D and now their best player is done for a while at least I haven't played Madden in a while so I didn't realize the curse already struck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't win right now. As far as the Madden Curse goes- Fitzgerald better watch out this week.

Washington is hurt, but they gave him a contract with the intention of him being the #1 guy in Tenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Really looking forward to this Cowboys season. Like Crasher said NO distractions...which is a plus. Also looking forward to seeing the new state of the art Cowboys Stadium. Should be a good and interesting season if the team can stay healthy unlike last season. Just glad to have the NFL season finally here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisZajac Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my Steelers start the season with a win. But Thursday night football just blows! I really wish they'd keep it to Thanksgiving. Yea.. I don't like watching games on a Thursday.. It just doesn't work it out for me lol Here's my resume of the game : The pros: Ben showed some poise.. 350+yards, I know I know..2 INTS.. But atleast he went on 2 WINNING drives(If it wasn't for Ward's fumble.) I liked the way the O played.. Except for the running game. Wallace was pretty good if you ask me for his first start.. The cons: O-line.. They're still issues with them and its a no surprise..They had one year to play together, and they're still having some mis-communication problems.(The sack of Kearse on Ben.. Man, Colon just let Kearse go in.) The running game.. Which because of the O-line, sucked. There were no "real" holes for the runners to run in.. I mean, Parker,Mendenhall,Moore's a good trio if you ask me.. But god, that O-line.. Polamalu's injury.. I heard it could be up to 3-4weeks.. Since the Steelers are kind of "thin" on the secondary, I hope he comes earlier than expected..(That interception was just insane.)

O-Line: Still a big problem that is overlooked due to Big Ben Polamalu: For some reason Steeler's do just as good without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghdi Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The Chiefs are f'in horrible. I hate that the only early games I can choose from are the Ravens/Chiefs or Bucs/Cowboys. I guess I'll watch ++++ and the Boyz. Watching the Chiefs is just sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 spoke too soon on the Chiefs, not a bad first half once it got going, I still dont think they're any good, but the effort is there lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Way to stick it to those Texicans Shoulda been a shutout except for that lucky bounce on the INT. Wow, I've never heard a crowd turn like that on a home team, and that's saying something as a Jet fan. I mean they were literally booing every play at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDPucks Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Baltimore will get away with playing like donkey dung today because they're playing KC. But the vaunted Ravens defense has made Brodie Croyle look like Tom Brady which I'm sure will make the real Tom Brady very happy in 4 weeks.

'7' Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 What can you say, an absolutely dominating performance by the Jets D. I mean that was 85 Bears dominating, they just abused the Texans. Shaub didn't know where any of the blitzers were coming from and was abused all day. Sanchez was clutch on those 3rd down conversions. He does have happy feet at times, but he's a born playmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Wow....anybody see what just happened in Cincy? unbelievable!!! Down 7-6 late in the 4th with 25 seconds to go Orton heaves up a desperation pass from his own 12, it gets tipped by a Bengals defender and goes right to Brandon Stokley who runs it in for a TD. He tiptoed the goal line to kill the clock! Weird fvcking game. This kind of stuff can only happen to the Bengals (and Jets) New images in from the Georgia Dome Edited September 13, 2009 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
