Got their first win of the season! Without Brett! Go Pack Go!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
It was closer than it should have been, but Rogers did well, he completed most of his passes. It was surreal w/o Brett, in fact I had to think back when Don Majkowski was the Packers QB, as to when there was no Brett at the helm.
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
Yeah I think surreal is a good way of putting it. I remember when Majkowski went down. He was supposed to be our saving grace. We were all excited when he was our QB then suddenly he was down and this guy nobody ever heard of much less pronounce his name correctly took over and the rest is history.

I miss Brett but I am a Packers fan no matter who is on the team.
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Considering all the pressure that was on him, I thought Rodgers did great. Getting a huge win against the team that was conspiring to get Favre....excellent beginning of a new era for the Pack.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Maybe folks will finally let Rodgers play his own kind of game now without comparisons. I was about ready to scream during the game because Tony Kornheiser kept comparing Rodgers to Favre everytime he'd do something.....
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Motley, those comparison will only stop if Rodgers wins a Superbowl. It may not be fair, but that is how it will be. Just ask 'Packer for life' Ali_with_an_i.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Those are huge shoes to fill. Then again he's had three years on the bench to think about this opportunity, so hunger shouldn't be a problem. I was kind of annoyed too with Kornheiser making the comparisons, you can't compare, it's absurd. Just get the Pack into the playoffs and see what happens.
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
Tony Kornhole always gets on my nerves. I think even if Rodgers takes to the Superbowl this year and wins, he will still make Favre comparisons.

He's just a bald head filled with hot air!

BTW- Rodgers looked great but he needs to work on his Lambeau Leap! [Smile]
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Yeah it looked like he was struggling to get up the wall. Anybody else think Jay Cutler and the Broncos looked awesome last night? How about rookie Eddie Royal? He pretty much took DeAngelo Hall to school.........
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
Speaking of Majkowski, anyone ever wonder what the Majik Man's doing today? I consider it a hair disappointing no one else picked him up after Favre entrenched himself as the starter; he could probably once fully recovered have given somebody a boost.

As for me, I'm deeply encouraged to see Donovan McNabb back to full strength, perhaps due to an extra pregame helping of Mom's Campbell's Chunky Soup (the fans were far too impatient last year given the type of injury in question) and hope this year will end up a special one for all like myself who bleed Eagle green. Now let's see how they stand against a genuine test in the Evil (and then evil some more just for the heck of it) Empire. Regardless, they just might have solved the wide receiver dilemma if DeSean Jackson continues developing at his current pace (and keeps him head firmly on Planet Earth where it belongs).

My Vikings sucked. The Vikings will never win with Tavaris Jackson at QB.

P.S. I'm not sold on Childress as a coach either
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Adrian Peterson looked good but Vikes need a good QB I dunno why they think Tavaris is it. McNabb did have a good first game of the season but to me he's too risky a prospect for a fantasy QB considering his age, inconsistency, and injury history.......

Actually Majkowski does Packers analysis on the local Green Bay and Milwaukee stations. Once a Packer, always a Packer!

Are you talkin about Don Majkowski? OMG he was so hot!!!
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Uh Ali....I guess nobody told that to Brett Favre. ha
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
I ain't worried, Brett will be back in some capacity in the future. They interviewed him about a week ago on local tv. He said he will always be a Packer and once he really retires, he may take the offer to come back and do appearances and stuff for the team.

I think once Ted Thompson is gone Brett will be back. Could be awhile though......a long while!
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
Oh and yes Pettyfan, I was talking about Don "the magic man" Majkowski. [Smile]
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
You think Brett will handle the NY media well? GB is so small compared to the big apple, he seems so down to earth compared to the manic NY sports types.
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
I dont think he knows what he's in for!
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
He's also on the cover of the new Madden 09 game in Packers attire. It's a wonder Tom Brady wasn't on there considering the Madden curse his season is finished. It seems like Vince Young has been doomed ever since he was on it. I don't think Young is cut out for pro ball it seems like he stays hurt.......
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
I know it was only Detroit, but Aaron Rodgers looked real good. I think it's good he's just not fresh out of college, I guess he's had time to study and learn, he's been ready for a while.

Anyone see that Broncos-Chargers shocker? Chargers starting the season like last year. Vikings are off to a disapointing start.
 
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
Vikings need a new QB and needs to fire their head coach and defensive backs coach.
 
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
 
Detroit needs to fire Matt Millen, and Denver kinda lucked out on some calls by the ref.

The Packers defense did a good job in the second half and stopped the Lion's rally. Good stuff!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Did you see the Detroit fan throw his Lions jersey on the field in disgust? Hardcore. It never ceases to amaze me that the Lions and bears haven't had franchise QB's since the 40's and 50's. We're talking about Bobby Layne and Sid Lickman for pete's sake!

Shanahan is such a gambler, the Broncos stole that game.

So Jessica Simpson has been talking trash about the Cowboys laying the L on the Eagles. Romo has to keep her in line.
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
So has Pac-Man Jones (he may want a name change, but since he's still an immature louse, that's what he's stuck with). It would be divine justice (perhaps Reggie White and Jerome Brown can arrange something from above) if someone smashed Pac-Man's head clean out his...well, you can guess where...at some point tonight, maybe that'll make him reconsider his life. In fact, Owens could use it as well, taking the usual route and projecting his own deficiencies onto McNabb. He certainly wasn't laughing the last time they played in Dallas; perhaps history can repeat itself again (and if not, I believe they get Green Bay next week in fact, so they stand a good chance of succeeding there at the moment). We shall have to wait and see, for it should be exciting to watch either way.
 
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
 
Well, Ali's Packers won and Motley's Panthers beat my Bears. I had hopes for the Bears...
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Thus far what a barn burner of a game going on with the Cowboys and Eagles. 48 points of offence as we approach halftime. Looks like a classic in the making.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
What a game. Chris, sorry but looks like the Cowboys got it done again, barely.
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Outstanding offensive explosion of a game. The McNabb fumble on the fake reverse was the mistake Dallas needed to the pull the game out.
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
And you are right, the Broncos stole the game from the Chargers on a blown call. But what a gutzy call to go for two at end either way. The Chargers are snake bit.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Brett's got the Chargers in a few. It's gonna be a tough game....

P.S. How bout the Dolphins laying the smack down on New England???!
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
You have to expect something like that every now and then. But the hill's still too high for Miami this year.

At this stage of the game, I think the Super Bowl will be Denver vs. whoever does win the NFC East--and that's easier said than since the way they're all playing it could well be a 4-way tie in the end, and THAT tiebreaker might just take all the way through the wild card week to finalize.

I was so freakin' happy!!! [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
Vikings got smart yesterday and finally benched Tarvaris Jackson in favour of that old relic Gus Ferrote. The offense looked so much better than they have the past couple seasons. Gus should be good enough to get them through this season but it became abundantly clear that they need to get a top notch QB this offseason. Jackson's a good guy and has a great attitude; he's just not a NFL calibre quarterback.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
The Pats got served yesterday. They were really exposed, they could not stop the run if their life depended on it. How about those skin of the teeth victories but the Bills, Jaguars and Giants? What is going on with the Browns? Looks like the Brady Quinn era might start sooner than expected. Sam, do you think Ferotte can get the Vikings into the playoffs? The Cowboys probably won't go undefeated but they are looking like the Pats last year.

I'm watching the NYJ/SD game, looks to be a shootout, also looks finally like Brett has his leash off.

I'm watching SD/
 
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
Those direct snaps to Ronnie Brown sure gave the Patriots fits, they didn't have an answer for them

That Bills victory was particularly sweet for me. I'm in a survival football league. In that league we started off with 25 players. All you have to do is pick one winner each week. Simple enough, right? The catch is that once you pick a team you can't pick them again the rest of the season. So it's not always a good idea to pick the top notch teams right away; definite strategy involved. If you got a lesser level team with a favourable matchup it could be beneficial to pick them. If you pick wrong that week your team is eliminated. Well yesterday I picked Buffalo to win and was gritting my teeth to the very end. So far I've picked the Jets, Packers and Bills; so I still have the Cowboys, Broncos, eagles, Giants etc... left. There's only 8 of 25 teams still alive in my league.

Yes the Vikings could and should make the playoffs with Ferrote at the helm. QB is the only question mark they have and I think he fills the spot pretty well.

Is anyone still reeling from that shocking Colts win? I never saw a team(Houston)self destruct like that. The Colts were soooo lucky.
 
Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
 
I missed the Colts game because they didn't broadcast it in my area. I heard it was messed up. Did you see any of the Chiefs game? It was ridicules.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Are the Colts finished? they looked like that to me last night with Tenessee stam rolling over another one. Next up is Tenessee-Green Bay.
 
Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
 
Man! I missed the Colts game last night! The Titans are unstoppable this season...

Riptide, are the Colts your team? It could be worse, they could be the Chiefs... [Wink]
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
Or Detroit, where they might as well pack it in now and get new ownership (may have to if the recession keeps eating up the Ford family fortune). Still, Indianapolis still looks in reasonable shape for a wild card.

I'd keep tabs on Buffalo and Arizona, who look like intriguing sleeper choices at the moment (although the latter might have to hope the Pottsville Maroons have the 1925 title restored to them to go all the way; one can argue the Cardinals have been cursed since then); both have shown they can step it up if need be, and would be nice alternative winners if they can get through the tougher teams in their conferences.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
JDoc, it's monday night football game of the week, you didn't see any of it? The WS game was rained out too.

By the way, I'm not a Colts fan, I've followed San Fran and the Bears since the 80's, and as you can tell I have nothing much to write home about with those two teams. I figure I should save what's left of my hairline and get a new team!

The NFL is completely screwy this year, if any poor handicapper can make money on this madness, all the power to him. You can go from a doormat to a decent team in about three weeks, just ask the Rams and Dolphins, and you can go from a Super Bowl candidate to fighting for .500 like Dallas.

Detroit is an eternal mess, the CFL's BC Lions could beat them.

can't wait for THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS game against the cowboys this week. giants have to win this one to stay atop a tough nfc east.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
How long is Romo gonna be out for or have they given a time table?  It makes my week every week Dallas loses lol.  Granted they won this past week but the Colts lost to the Titans so it balanced out in the end........
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
Gives me eternal satisfaction as well. As of now, it looks like Tony has another 2-3 weeks to go; given how much of a fool Johnson's made of himself lately, they might shove him back in earlier in sheer desperation. As for me, it was good to Philadelphia back at full strength (no, it wasn't completely satisfying to win with the officials missing the punt call, but since the Falcons were stupid enough to waste their last time out pointlessly before the 2 minute warning, which you should only do if you absolutely have no other choice, the blame lies on their heads as well), and while it will be a bit tougher than in 2003 when they came roaring off a bye to go almost the whole distance, a clearly full strength Westbrook is a portent that good things might--just might--be about to happen. Regardless of how it does turn out, credit to Andy Reid for reaching 100 wins so quickly in today's day and age; he may not be the most sociable or understandable gent out there, but he gets the job done more often than not, and you can't complain about that as long as it's done ethically.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Looks like the Titans juggernaut got by the Packers by the skin of their teeth. Great game though. The Dolphins are on the rise, nice to see. I'm watching Colts-Pats right now. Very low scoring.
 
Posted by xchazx (Member # 7158) on :
 
THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS took care of business yesterday against a depleted cowboys team. with all due apologies to tennessee, the giants are the best team in football right now. they are 7-1 and play in the toughest division in football. i'm actually starting to believe they could do something special again this season, as long as we stay relatively injury free.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Big game this weekend for NYG's against the Eagles. Should be a great game.

brady Quinn looks pretty good in his debut for the Browns right now. Although the Broncos have closed the gap, actually Denver has the lead now.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Dang did you see the points Jay Cutler and Eddie Royal threw up? A combined 63 points for my fantasy team!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Cutler racked up some incredible yardage in the second half of the game. It was his fifth 4th quarter comeback, in an Elway-like performance. I really thought it was the Browns game, but Winslow's fumble really cost them.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Adrian Peterson ran roughshod over the Packers yesterday. What a great back. Very close, wish this was televised in my area.

I'm watching the 49ers-Cardinals game right now. You know what? i might have to take my 49ers stuff out of the mothballs, they look decent and Mike Singletary looks as confident a coach there as I've seen in a long time. Hope they can pull this one out.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Watching Cowboys-Ravens right now, nothig like Saturday night football with a marquee matchup like this.

Some good games tomorrow, Pittsburgh@Tenessee should be a good one.

Go Titans!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Man, I'm bummed that we can't see the Steelers-Titans game here, we get the regional NY/Buffalo/New England area games, and as you can see the Pats are pasting the Cardinals.

I'd like to send a special shout out to all the Cowboys fans. How bout them Dallas Cowboys LMAO????????
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
Now, can we line up for the chance to detonate Texas Stadium? Seriously, they only got into playoff position because they got a schedule stacked with weaklings; against real competition, they've proved largely flat, so if the cards fall the wrong way for them next week--as I would hope since it is Philadelphia for them--it's possible all their millions and millions could earn them last place where their immorality deserves to put them. And even if they do make it, their poor mentality as such have ensured they'll be losers even if they do end up with the Lombardi trophy (conversely, Philly may not make it--it's still possible if everything goes right, so we need Oakland to come through--but I think how well they've chosen to go down fighting rather than give in has shown how much of real champions they are, world title or no world title, even if the fans inexplicably no longer seem to care for 4th and 26 and the other bright moments (but not I; I'll always appreciate the good the Reid-McNabb team's done over the last decade, and in time even the most uptight fans will)).
 
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
 
I think it's wonderful that the Patriots did not have home field advantage or a first-round bye. Hee hee!! They'll probably get in the playoffs (may've already) after the Cardinal slaughter yesterday.

Motley, I knew you'd be happy about the Cowboy azz kicking yesterday!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
When did the Cowboys get dubbed America's team anyway?

Did you see that Giants-Panthers game last night? I can't belive Carolina lost, they had it, the extra score, those dasterdly NYG's get it done again.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Yah it's a good week when the Cowboys lose. Eff you Terrell Owens keeps on dividing the team with your antics if it causes results like this lol!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Another great game tonight. Chicago made some amazing defensive stops near the end of the game. Still in the playoff hunt, although they need a little help.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Wow, Cowboys haters rejoice everywhere. Did they play like crap or what? Looks like Sam's Vikings go against the Eagles for the wild card next week. Dolphins win, and Favre and his Jets and the 11-5 Patriots miss the post-season.

Detroit didn't win a game this year. and TB collapsed at the end of the year.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Good job Cowboys! Congrats Terrell and team on an outstanding season. Wade Philips and probably several others will be out of a job after this week. I sort of feel sorry for Philips as he's pretty much a puppet/tool as to what Jerry Jones wants but then again I don't cause it is the Cowboys. Panthers barely squeaked by looks like they'll be playing the winner of Arizona/Atlanta.....

The Dallas Cowboys got dubbed America's team back in the 70's when guys like Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson, and Ed 'too tall' Jones played for them. Which brings to the movie "North Dallas Forty" which was loosely based on those days.
 
Posted by NiceGuy Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
Wow Detroit has to be the worst team ever.

Tampa Bay in their first season also went winless. However that was only a 14 game schedule compared to a 16 game schedule like this season. Also when Tampa went winless was way before the current free agency and it seemed like the same 10 teams won every season where currently the league is much more balanced from top to bottom. Tampa also could be forgiven since they were an expansion team where the Lions of this season is one of the oldest organizations in the league.

Yup, worst pro team ever.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Cris Collinsworth who played against them still says the 76 Buccaneers were the worst ever. As for worst pro team ever I'm going to have to do some research on that. The 1974-75 Washington Capitals were god-awful too.

It's such a shame about the Lions. Haven't had a franchise QB since Bobby Layne in the 50's. Since Barry Sanders surprise retirement they have been going so down hill. They have a good receiver in Calvin Johnson, but that's about it.

So the Chargers make the playoffs, whoda thunk? Lucky their division was so awful.
 
Posted by Chris the CandyFanMan (Member # 3197) on :
 
So, who's up for firing Reid and McNabb now? Second time in 3 years they've beaten the odds and made the second season after everybody wrote them off--and by completely humiliating their mortal enemy too (for a while there it looked more like a Mel Brooks comedy going on there than a football game). Even if they fade out from here on (and really not that many NFC competitors look overly impressive going in, so who knows how far they'll go), they've accomplished all I've hoped.
 
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
 
Did someone say THE PATRIOTS miss the post-season?????!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Say what you want about them, and I'm not a huge Belichek fan either after spygate, but there's something wrong when an 11-5 team doesn't make it to the post-season. In Brady's absence what Matt Cassel did was pretty impressive.

Bring on the Bowl games, anything good on tonight?
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
I heard something on one of the sports shows today about Brady having an infection in his knee and maybe missing 2009 too. Cassel's gonna get a big payday somewhere. My friend said if Brady doesn't make it back Pats have the option of franchising Cassel for $14 million for one year. I hadn't saw enough yet to convince me he's New England's savior good record or not...
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
This is the year of the backup QB. es[ecially in Atlanta. Didn't hear that about Brady, that would be a real disaster. Cassel will surely get a big payday, I wonder if Romo's job will be safe? The Browns and Lions got rid of their coaches, wonder who is next.

Here's a link to a Brady story.....

Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
 
Call me b!tchy, but I detest New England, Tom Brady and the coach, so if Brady doesn't come back next year oh well. Sorry his knee's infected, but again, oh well. The Jets also fired their coach. I think some of the teams wanted Bill Cower (sp?). Right now he's got a cushy desk job at CBS...would he come out of retirement for that?

I agree with what Motley said before. My dad's said for years that the majority of Dallas' problems comes from Jerry Jones. I think he needs to step back and let his coaches do their jobs. Remember when they got Deion Sanders and paid him a buttload of money? Deion was a good player, dont' get me wrong, but I never thought he was actually as good as what HE and Jerry Jones thought he was. He wasn't Dallas' saving grace, that's for sure.

And while we're on the subject of football, and I'm on a good rant, LOL, another thing that p!sses me off is all this talk about Plaxico Burress and what an 'idiot' he is, blah blah blah. So he shot himself. He didn't hurt anyone else. There's been players who have done, or have been accused of doing much, much worse (can we say Ray Lewis?). Anyway, I think the media needs to lay off Plaxico. So he wears too much 'bling' and needed protection...maybe next time he'll take it off, LOL.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
It will be a major loss to not only the Pats but to the entire NFL if Brady doesn't return next year. You never want to see a star like that never be the same again. Mind you Giselle is probably taking good care of him.

Jerry Jones is just too hands on for my liking. Going out and getting these problematic players like Pacman Jones and T.O. I will never forgive Jones for parting ways with Jimmy Johnson like that.

People are picking on Plexico because of his diva ways. You go out of your way to complain about your contract, you finally get one in the offseason, and this is what you give in return to the team? You are an NFL player, not some second rate gangsta. Catch the ball and shutup. It's like there's some wide receiver disease going on.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Exactly on Jerry Jones. I still can't understand why these players find a need to hit the clubs and carry a gun into the club on top of that. I'm all for having a good time but it's time to grow up and accept some responsibilities once your in your 30s with kids......
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
I heard somewhere that players are carrying weapons to protect from getting their jewelry or chain snatched. Why can't you go to a club w/o carrying the bling? Or better yet why don't they buy their own club and install their own security? Or give up the nightclubs and spend more time helping the community.

Another epic Colts-Chargers playoff game in process. OT to boot.
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
I'm a bit surprised about an 8-8 team like the Chargers having homefield advantage against the 12-4 Colts.
 
Posted by NiceGuy Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
Chargers won their weak division where the Colts are a wildcard team

How about the Cardinals actually winning a playoff game? It's the first time they've won a home playoff gane in 61 years. Definitely one of the most inept teams in all of sports.

Chargers just beat the Colts in OT as I was typing this.
 
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
 
Chargers are in a weak division. It'd be nice if they could somehow realign the divisions to make it more competitive than what it is. Maybe Obama can also implement a college football playoff system. There's a few teams who should have been in bowl games and a few where you stand back and think that a pee wee football team would make for more of a competitive division team than some of those out there that enabled other teams to make it to a bowl game (coughs ahem USC Trojans) while others with a tougher schedule didn't make it. I liked the comment Pete Carroll made pretty much saying USC was unbeatable. I guess so look at your damn schedule.......

P.S. Go Cards Ronnie!

Didn't hear he got traded, he must have been a free agent. I'm going to try and wade through the first round, I imagine the Vikings pick in the middle of the pack?

OMG, here we go again, Brett Favre is talking with the Vikings now? He must really want to get back at the Packers.

Gonzalez did go to the Falcons. He and Matt Ryan may make for quite the interesting combo. I'm seriously considering taking Ryan in the draft......
