official NFL week 2 thread

[Inspector Jihad]

I feel bad for the Bills fans I know. They love the team but they haven't had a chance at anything substantial since the Jim Kelly era and they don't have enough money to compete with the Pats/Jets/Dolphins

has nothing to do with money.

lions ball

 

[lupi]

someone please shoot keller.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Very much looking forward to the 2-0 Packers vs. the 2-0 Bears next Monday. Should be a good game.

 

[hclarkjr]

look at the skins playing great against texans

 

[Gunslinger08]

Holy crap, the Eagles defense just imploded. Lions have 1:42 and a timeout to get a field goal and tie it.

 

[Glitchny]

has nothing to do with money.

ok well they have nowhere near the market presence to attract high level talent and coaches to improve their team.

Don't understand why the Pats are trying to run so much.

 

[Glitchny]

and the jet penalties begin

Don't understand why the Pats are trying to run so much.

the jets are playing more pass defense, gotta run to set up the pass.

They should have won at least one of those four Superbowls - in particular, the first one vs. the Giants. "Wide right" only gave them a scapegoat. They were easily the most talented football team wearing uniforms that day. Unfortunately, they were outmatched in the coaching department. That team had more stars than most teams ever do. Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Thurman Thomas, Kent Hull, Will Wolford, - lots of pro bowlers.

Bruce Smith (NFL defensive player of the year that year), Cornelius Bennett, Shane Conlan, Darryl Talley - outstanding defensive players. More pro-bowlers than the Giants had. Steve Tasker - phenomenal on special teams.

There was no way the Giants should have beaten the Bills. But, they managed to control the ball for more than 2/3's of the game. That's coaching.

 

[lupi]

ahhh, poor wittle welker can't play with the big boys.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Tell me Welker isn't out of the game. He's my fantasy football crutch.

 

[Fingolfin269]

ahhh, poor wittle welker can't play with the big boys.

He didn't make the rule.

Oh I know they should have won one of them at least. It still blows my mind that with the talent they had they couldn't get the W

 

[KLin]

Ryan mathews just went down with an ankle injury.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

ok well they have nowhere near the market presence to attract high level talent and coaches to improve their team.

wtf, this isn't baseball...

 

[Glitchny]

wtf, this isn't baseball...

it's still true. Big name free agents want to go to big markets. Or the Bills are just monumentally bad at signing/attracting top level talent, year after year after year.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

ahhh, poor wittle welker can't play with the big boys.

not like you, right?

 

[Fingolfin269]

Welker TD.

Anyone know extent of Ryan Mathews ankle injury?

 

[Capt Caveman]

ahhh, poor wittle welker can't play with the big boys.

Welker TD!!!!!! :biggrin:

 

[Glitchny]

ahhh, poor wittle welker can't play with the big boys.

apparently he can play well enough to score a TD

 

[bobdole369]

Favre needs the MVP in Miami's win.

 

[The Boston Dangler]
