OFFICIAL 2012 NFL week 1 thread

[JujuFish]

OK, biggest comeback in NFL history. Let's go Buffalo.

 

[crownjules]

Ridley putting on an impressive showing. If he keeps performing like this it'll be the added dimension to the offense the Pats have needed since Dillon left.

LOL and Wilfork just gave Locker some lovin.

 

[MetalMat]

Well Im gonna go drink away my sorrows, good night everybody. At least my fantasy teams are doing great.

 

[BUTCH1]

GRONK!!!

Damn, the Pats look good. :hmm:

Wow, that series featuring Ridley was really impressive, you can see the upgrade there from Green-Ellis in speed, killer blocking by the OL as well..

 

[TallBill]

This is why people are idiots for following preseason football.

 

[SunnyD]

Fitzpatrick with 3 interceptions today. Let's see what Tarvaris Jackson can do.

You do know that TJax is inactive today, right?

 

[Fingolfin269]

So if a guy gets knocked out on a pass over the middle, and we live in a world where helmet to helmet is not allowed, then how is there no flag?

And of course Locker hurts himself tackling the guy running the ball back on a play that might get overturned anyway. Great start to the season today!

 

[benzylic]

Matt Cassel has returned to his true form.

Also there has been 1 flag thrown in the ATL vs KC game, I cant decide if their refs are just incompetent or its just been that clean

 

[crownjules]

There was no helmet to helmet. Locker hung him out to dry and he unfortunately paid the price.

I didn't see the play, but helmet to helmet isn't always illegal.

I agree, maybe to see how your teams draft pick do otherwise, no, do you think BB is going to show you his playbook in a meaningless game??.

 

[hclarkjr]

good job holding them to field goal

 

[Gunslinger08]

I've always supported Reid, but maybe it's time for him to go. You have one of the top 3 RBs in the league and you've only handed it to him 12 times. Vick has 36 attempts and 3 passes turned into QB rushes.

 

[hclarkjr]

wow, saints hand the skins a first down

I agree. It would be different if they were down 3 TDs but that's just not the case.

 

[SSSnail]

You know what's most impressive? The replacement refs. They're doing a phenomenal job, much better than the idiots from last year.

I can't remember how many times I wanted to punch some kittens because of blown calls last year.

maybe in the game you are watching, there have been some hiccups in the skins game. nothing major so far thankfully

 

[KentState]

TD Vick!

 

[SSSnail]

TD Vick!

From Vick to Browns' DB?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

From Vick to Browns' DB?

LOL, Vick. But remember -- he isn't a "mediocre" QB at all. LOLOLOLOL.

 

[Dulanic]

yeah. it was a good idea on chicago NOT picking up a O-line..poor cultler.

Nice job making decision on one possession lol... They did pretty damn good and Marshall looks great too. Might finally have a decent offense.

 

[amdhunter]

Jets need to leave Tebow on the sideline. Robbing Sanchez from TD attempts in the Red Zone is seriously f-ed up.

 

[BUTCH1]

Tennessee only 20 yds rushing, if the Pats can come up with a decent performance from the secondary this year the D might be decent, last year only GB gave up more yds passing than the Pats. Great start for Lloyd, Gronk and Hernandez were as usual Brady only 236 yds passing but that's a good thing, he could actually hand the ball to the running game with a lead and it produced, Ridley is quick to the hole and can break tackles, 125yds, 6.0 yds/carry on the road is extremely impressive..

 

[Retro Rob]

Ah yes, Lions with a nice comeback victory.

 

[SunnyD]

Looks like I was right - Buffalo bet the farm on the D-Line, but their secondary can't cover a chill on a cold night.
