Hall of Fame Game Open Thread

I'm not sure I will be able to watch this, which pains me. Tonight the hated Buffalo Bills face off against a Titans squad I have no strong feelings about. Watch Chris Johnson bend time! Watch Aaron Schobel's decline be ignored by all! Watch Vince Young retire between snaps! Watch Cris Collinsworth complain about having to complain about Terrell Owens! Watch the NFL pass the point of return and weep, WEEP, for the return of football!

I hate that oil platform. Bad memories. The wooly bison is cute though.

Well done

And the fake punt in the first 30 seconds of the game for a 40yard touchdown

Cool? Uncool? I’m not sure how I feel about a gadget play in the opening drive of a preseason game.

That punter should have been creamed.

ooh, looky— no huddle!

Heh

Honestly, how often will we see that in an opening drive in a regular season game? I thought it was pretty cool

"Cool? Uncool?"

I think the question you meant to pose was: “Awesome? Spectacular?” When you think about it, it’s the last thing anyone would expect. I love how the rushing D wasn’t suspicious at all from the open shot they had, bit hard on the fake, and all turned their heads at the punter and skidded simultaneously (D’Oh!). Freaking amazing. I didn’t even catch the fake on the highlight reel.

Especially since it was against the Bills

Screw them and their fake FG touchdowns.

Also screw that show that kept using that clip over and over again as a promo.

Fisher said he was thinking about

using an onside kick on the first kickoff of the season as well.

Now an interception at the 5 yard line followed by a lateral

Crazy stuff going on.

I see Bill Leavy as made his horrible self known

early this season.

"Watch Cris Collinsworth complain about having to complain about Terrell Owens!"

My god, how true. He is such a pompous wind-bag, I fucking hate him.

I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.

"When I played...."

Can you imagine having to spend any time around this guy? He’s got a story for every occasion.

Even my girlfriend asked last night,

with Madden out of the booth if there was enough room for his ego in there. And I think that was the first time she had ever heard Collinsworth. He interjects himself into every thread. “When I played againg Rod Woodson”. “I hope they compare me to John Madden”. It’s been only one game and I’ve already had enough.

I really hope Vince Young's family isn't watching this

Collinsworth and Michaels are simply abusing the man’s career prospects. He hasn’t played in over an hour, guys, give him a break.

Great rule change!

Thugs will howl over the, uh, feminization of the game, but the league is right to protect receiver’s heads. No more helmet-to-helmet, no more forearm or shoulder to helmet.

Or maybe I am a wuss, who knows.

The good ol' days

Why can’t we all just play like the 68-76 Raiders? Do you know how many more people games would draw if fist-fights regularly broke out on the field? MILLIONS! A WEEK!
