2007 NFL Week 2 Thread

[Ironhead]

Listening to the Falcons eventual disaster on radio.

[GrantDawg]

My wife asked who the Falcons were playing. I just told her the team that is going to win.

[Raiders Army]

Damn those are some fugly looking uniforms for the Steelers.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I have Buffalo and Pittsburgh on the TV. It's the only game airing here right now, and my wife is a J.P. Losman fan, as we regularly went to Tulane games when he was there.

For now, I have San Francisco and St. Louis running on SopCast, although I'll probably jump around a little bit there. I'm not terribly thrilled about any of the early games.

Early on, all I know is that I do not like the Pittsburgh throwback uniforms much.

[Raiders Army]

It's amazing that teams want the black unis because they look tough (and slimmer, cough cough Sam Adams), yet the Steelers go with these yella helmets and piece of crap looking jerseys.

Not that that won't stop them from winning.

[Cringer]

I just flipped over to the Steeler game. I thought the Bills were playing the Wyoming Cowboys. The bright sun made the black a little brownish looking.

[Raiders Army]

Damn Peyton picking on Nick Harper now.

[Raiders Army]

Addai scores! Too bad he's on my opponent's fantasy team.

[henry296]

FYI. The Steelers uniforms are throwbacks to the 1940s. I agree they are very, very ugly.

[larrymcg421]

J. Harrington passed to R. White to the right for 10 yard gain

This is some sort of miracle for both of them.

[Raiders Army]

I'm waiting for Peyton Manning to sing "Our Country" for Chevy. The commercials will come full circle then.

[Raiders Army]

Why'd I start Pittman over Cadillac Williams?

Is your name Ryan Snyder?

Good call. I know I read that somewhere. I have my laptop up with stattracker and watching the sunday ticket so I'm totally connected.

[Raiders Army]

Buccs stripping the ball really well.

[CU Tiger]

Panthers 14 Texans 0 5 mins left in the 1st...

[CU Tiger]

Damn ok, make that 14-6

[Raiders Army]

Steve Smith doing really well. Two TDs in the first QTR.

[CU Tiger]

Mario Williams just made a #1 overall hit....JACKED UP!

[Cringer]

Doh!

Packers get a gift with a roughing the kicker penalty on a punt, only to have the next pass go through Donald Drivers hands, off his shoulder pad about 15 feet in the air, and it's picked off. I was disappointed with Driver at first, but Favre threw it behind him a little too much.

Packers good defense stopping Giants. Packers bad offense moving the ball but keeps having problems at some point to end drives.

This game ends up 13-10 at the high end.

[Cringer]

Huge pass, 46 yards, from Favre to rookie WR James Jones. Very nice! Not an inch to spare on that one, an inch shorter on the pass and it's tipped.

[Cringer]

Crap, I love my Packers, but the Giants defense really sucks for the Packers to be making some of these plays.

[Raiders Army]

Joey Galloway. Still got the speed.

[Fonzie]

Nice. James Jones is my "sleeper" WR3 pick for my fantasy team this week.

[Cringer]

Packers get an offensive TD!!!! It's a miracle! WOOHOO!! Even got it with a run.

By the way, it's insane how many times you here the word "rookie" before the name of almost every player who got the ball on that drive.

[Fonzie]

w00t!

[CU Tiger]

int panthers
Schaub seems to have a real good arm, decent accuracy but makes A FEW poor decisions.

About what you would expect ffrom a (virtual) rookie. Im thinking the Falcons can kick themselves now....

[Raiders Army]

Vince Young has some freaking magic in his legs.

[Cringer]

Wow. Giants answer fast.

edit: freaking Packer safeties. the big weak spot.

Yes. That wasn't very good. I'd call the defense's performance right there downright un-good.

well the int was overturned by review....but still a poor decision

[SirFozzie]

That Colts QB. He might be above average some day.

(seriously, that offense of the Colts looks really good so far)

[Raiders Army]

Saints not looking too good.

[Raiders Army]

He's a pretty lucky guy. Working in the same offense for 9 years would help anyone. That being said, he's been good enough to work in the same offense for 9 years.

[Cringer]

Packers DBs are hurting them more helping them. Charles Woodson may be able to cover a guy, but tackling Amani Toomer is impossible for him I guess.

[GrantDawg]

Roddy White is finally looking like a reciever, but they can cut Jenkins any day now. He has officially turned into a pumpkin.

[GrantDawg]

The Falcons have entered the red-zone for the first time this season.

[Raiders Army]

Why aren't all the games in HD? That annoys me.

[GrantDawg]

And the Falcons finally got a TD.

[henry296]

Steelers just can't convert into TDs. 4 red zone trips and no TDs. Completely domination but only a 12-0 lead at the half. Buffalo with only 1 first down.

[Rizon]

Why do the Saints still insist on handing the ball off to Reggie Bush? He has the hole recognition of Stevie Wonder and the awareness of Stephen Hawking.

[Logan]

Hey Eli, don't ever make that throw again.

[SirFozzie]

That wasn't too smart from Vince Young. That 15 yarder killed the drive.

[Cringer]

Packers may have ust gotten lucky. Giants get a FG, but ended up having to go for that because of an odd 3rd down play. The Packers were offsides, and Shockey had a big first down catch anyways. But he spiked the ball, which is now a penalty this year.

The refs said they offset, and redid 3rd down. The guys in the booth are saying the way it was explained to them, the Giants should have gotten the first down, and then been penalized the 5 yards since it was after the play.

I am interested to see what the league says about it this week. Odd situation. My guess is the Packers had a blown call go their way.

[SirFozzie]

two peyton manning throws, 30 seconds, and they are 50 yards downfield

[Cringer]

I may have been expecting too much from the Packers offensive line this year. I thought the young guys in the middle would be much better. Still too young I guess, or maybe just not going to be real good. One or the other.

I like this RB Wynn for the Packers. Makes some plays.

Now they say they heard from Pereira and it was the right call. I don't understand how dead ball penalties can offset an offsides call, but whatever...

[Eaglesfan27]

Those Buc cheerleaders look very good. As a non-Bucs fan, that is the only good thing in this game.

[Cringer]

Wow, just flipped over to the Bengals-Browns game for the first time. 21-20 Bengals lead. Cleveland has the ball at the 2 minute warning and Jamal Lewis just busted off a nice run of 20 yards or so.

[Northwood_DK]

Didn’t anyone tell Cleveland, Houston and Tampa Bay that they are not supposed to fight back this week?
