The 2010 NFL Thread

[TCO]

I have found myself becoming more and more fond of Kansas City throughout recent weeks. Hope they beat Houston.

If you keep this up you'll be supporting every team in the NFL sooner rather than later. The idea is to pick ONE team and support them, not follow your flavour of the week each time.

I only support New York. But I also like Detroit.

Oh and Meacon. Trash Talk

[VerbalPuke]

Shit, hope Zach Follet is ok, he was just carted off the field after a helmet to helmet hit. He was strapped down with his head and neck in heavy support.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Big Ben back and we're back on track

In other news, fuck the Texans.

[naiwf]

How 'bout dem Cowboys?

[Maxx]

Dallas can even get a penalty on an embarrassing attempt at prolonging a loss. Amazing.

[Powerhart]

Goddamnit, Broncos. You had it.

[HailtotheYo]

I am going to win big money betting on the Raiders this week. How they are 2-1 underdogs against an 0-5 team I don't understand.

So how much is the bookie pounding you for

[Pizza]

Quite a bit. Vegas is smarter than I am.

[HailtotheYo]

I admit, I know your feeling though when you saw that line.

I just learned the lesson a long time ago. Those fuckers are beyond Godly with the lines.

[jrhodes]

I have to admit I was tempted to stick some money on the Raiders this week. They were 5/2 at William Hill which is insane for two quite evenly matched teams.

[DMN in the House]

I don't know why anyone would think it was a good idea to put money on Oakland, ever.

[gunnar hendershow]

Next week they're starting Kyle Boller.

Also, NFL made a quick, and proper, decision to issue suspensions for helmet-to-helmet hits. I doubt the suspensions will go retroactive, but Robinson, Meriweather, and Harrison all deserve one.

[HailtotheYo]

There wasn't anything wrong with the Robinson hit ... the Harrison is the grey area ... but Meriweather was flat out bullshit.

[mystikz]

the Robinson hit was a real head on collision but I don't think he should be suspended. Harrison ....should especially after his stupid comments.

can they seriously never have the Jags play on monday night again? what a joke that game was.

[Cactus Drags]

I don't get people ragging on Dunta Robinson, it was a good hard play. What else is he supposed to do? He doesn't lad with his helmet, he's not intentionally spearing the guy, it was just an unfortunate outcome. Meriweather on Heap was disgusting, and Harrison borderline at best with the Cribbs hit, the other one, defintiely punishable.

I don't understand, and am perhaps even a little offended by the likes of Peter King using the poor Rutgers player (something LeGrand is it?) to drum up support for a harsher stand on illegal hits. That guy was making a tackle and got injured himself, he didn't attempt to hurt anyone, it was just a freak incident. I hope he makes a full recovery, although from what I've read thus far it isn't looking hopeful.

I've literally heard the Meriweather hit mentioned once on ESPN while the other two are the two examples used everytime. Is the Meriweather so blatant that it isn't controversial on whether he should get a suspension or what?

[Cactus Drags]

From the one angle, it looks like he jumps up specifically to headbutt a defenseless airbourne Todd Heap about 6 months after the ball was dead.

I think the Harrison stuff is getting a lot of attention because he said afterwards something to the tune of "I don't care if I hurt anybody."

It also falls in line with Hines Ward headhunting on the other side of the ball. It's not like the Steelers haven't tiptoed this line before.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Just seen the Meriweather hit. It reaffirms all of my hatred and loathing for the Patriots. Cunts the lot of them.
