Anyone see Denver bobble the opening kickoff 3 times?
"[Aaron] Curry is not a good pass-rusher" - Fearless Frog, 4/25/2009
Worst kickoff ever
By both sides of the ball

Cleveland and Minnesota both seem to have good defenses.
Two weird kicks so far though. First play was a kickoff that was… an onsides kick or something.
Then Clevland’s punter punts it 32 yards.
With no punter in the game.
And Denver didn’t see it.

At least in the 1st quarter

Wow Cincy blew the snap on a 28 yard FG
And now Denver starts at midfield.
Bungles.

One catch so far with was good for a first
But Cedric Benson looks like a stud against this Broncos defense. They should be 10-0 down.

Fantasy! Thanks you.
Justifies my 4th round pick on him, after getting Housh in the 3rd. (Nobody cares, I know)
I hate when people who can't speak chinese try to speak it...
Not a fan of Peyton Commercials or Timberlake in general either.
Anothing Gonzalez down??
Big fat zero for me. Nice.
Gus Johnson + Dan Fouts
my new favorite announcing team. Anyone know who’s calling our game?
Ron Pitts and John Lynch
We get Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick the week after apparently.

Off-Topic, but I'd love to see the Seahawks wear the road whites at home.
I believe we’re the only team in the NFL that has never worn their white jerseys at home.
Favre doesn't look all that comfortable in Minnesota's offense.
Plus, their pass-protection sucks balls.
Sam Bradford, future Seattle Seahawk.
I would say..
Their blocking looks better.. He isn’t really doing anything different than I’ve seen from him.

This is why I don't like when people say Braylon has bad hands.
He doesn’t have bad hands, he just sucks at being consistent, and has momentary lapses in concentration.
Carnell is killing the Cowboys.
I love it. I love rooting for guys like him – esp. vs. Dallas.

Agreed.
The first knee injury looked like it would end his career; to come back from both is unholy. Good for him.
what you do now, round eye?
Oh yes he does..
And steve smith is my number 1 reciever on my fantasy team

If you didn't know Favre's history,
you’d think. why the hell is this guy starting? He’s not very good.
That last pass was pretty nice.
Catch or no.

It's okay.
He’ll probably be on IR by week 10.

After the 2nd sack ...
he had that look on his face like why am I still playing for this god awful team
Ya he did.

Rey Mauluauga is one of the reasons I wasn't psyched about trading our pick to Denver.
Switch to 3-4, have Redding – Bryant/Cole-Mebane
And Kerney/Hill-Tatupu-Mauluaga-Curry
Championship, lock it up.
We would be a terrible 3-4 team.

GOOOOOD AFTERNOON FIELD GULLS!
let me tell you something, i’ve read all offseason and especially all week this week on how the rams are going to be awful. all of this based on the fact that “bulger still sucks” or “the defense has only gotten worse” or “steven jackson is overrated” or “the rams don’t have any receivers”
let me tell you something, the rams offense is overrated. everyone thinks these are just they same old sorry ass rams from the past two years. bulger is back. jackson is ready for a ginormous season. donnie avery will come around. the rams finally have a legit middle linebacker and offensive line.
last year, injuries killed this team and the offense underperformed. this will not happen again, which is why FOA has this team as a 9-7 team. we may not win today, but this is FAR from a blowout today. all you delirious posters here who think it’s a 42-10 game today couldn’t be more wrong. the rams are back, and they’re ready to show it today. go rams!

oh ha

Pardon my ignorance, but who was injured besides Bulger?
It can’t be nearly as bad as 10 games from your starting QB, 5 or so from your backup QB.
All 5 of your offensive lineman. Your first 4 WRs.
Your three starting pro bowl defenders with casts on their hands.
which is why you guys sucked too
but bulger missed time. jackson missed time. basically the whole offensive line missed time.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread...
But anyone check out NFL Network Red Zone? If you have stupid comcast you do have it.. channel 410 for me. Anyway, it’s pretty awesome… they just whip around the league. Perfect for people with no attention spans like me. Denver/Cincy was making my brain hurt.
Cincy is killing me.
It should at least be tied 3-3, but it could be 24-3 if Cincy would quit botching opportunities.
Calvin Johnson is a monster.

Orton has 9 seconds to throw it
and that’s the best throw he could do? If it was a bit better, he would’ve had some YAC.
Ugh.
I got two games, and both Denver and Minny are winning.
Double Ugh.
Orton cannot pass for shit.
WRs should make these catches, but with no one around, Orton should throw it within a yard of a WR.
It's a good thing Cinci drafted Andre Smith.
He’s doing a good job protecting Palmer. Oh wait, he’s a fat lazy crap who’s not even playing.
You're not Devin Hester
Knee that shit!

Per Williams
And in somewhat a surprise, DT Red Bryant will not suit up, but rookie Nick Reed is on the active list. The Seahawks have versatility with both Cory Redding and Lawrence Jackson being able to slide inside, so that covers for Bryant being out.
Huh, someone let me know if they see Reed in there
Other than special teams, of course.
No Branch, Bryant, or Fisher?
I really, really hope this isn’t a sign of something.
I'm glad their sitting Branch
I think. Without knowing the full extent of his injuries, I’d rather they take it slow with him than rush him out and get him hurt. Plus, Butler.
by AtomicGarden on Sep 13, 2009 12:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Nope.
Because we’re 1000 miles from the nearest team, and people can’t even point to the NW on a map.
Plus he wouldn’t start for 2 years.
KC threatening to take the lead on Baltimore....nice

2 drops in a row for Minny.
For ever amazing catch, there are plays that make you scratch your head.
Heap having a game for me
Nice to know he’s back!
Denver, please don't play any defense at all.
Of course, the Bengals still wouldn’t score.

I think we're the only people that care about the Broncos/Bengals.
That probably includes Bengals and Broncos fans.
I still can't believe that he actually changed his last name to Ochocinco.

I'm not saying rush it.
I’m saying don’t take 45 seconds between each play. 35 seconds is still a long time.
WOW
I’m glad I got the chance to draft Peterson.
This is Cincinnati
There is no such thing as an inevitable touchdown

WTF?
Why cut to the Cowboys game? Are you telling me there’s no game still going on that’s closer than 34-14 and thus more interesting?
America’s team. my ass.
Denver won
One step closer to having a rubbish draft pick
Denver stole that game
That is honestly one of the luckiest plays I have ever seen. For about 10 minutes all I could say was “Wow”.
