2011 NFL Season

[mystikz]

they definitely picked the right teams to open the season

[Ron]

So you get a free play on the 1 yard line, a chance to score and come within a 2pt to tie and.... that's the play you run with? How do you not call a bootleg?

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah let's do the most predictable 1-yard play in the NFL to try and tie the game.

[naiwf]

It's pretty clear that Sean Payton doesn't know how to deal with goal line situations because he really never thinks about employing the running game. At the end of the day they probably didn't have any other short yardage play in their arsenal because they never expect to need one.

[livid]

Yeah, I don't understand how you can call that play after being stuffed on so many short yardage plays all game long. I'm not so sure a bootleg was the answer either because that didn't work when they tried that but it was clear that a straight up dive wasn't going to work.

[Meacon Keaton]

Tim Hasselbeck brought up a great point on Mike and Mike. They went 79 yards in what, a minute? And then they completely changed the pace of their game by bringing in the big boys. He didn't say the run was a bad call, and I don't think it was either, but perhaps they should have kept things more spread out like they had done all the way down the field. Make them think Brees was going to throw and let Ingram take it up and in on a delayed draw. They just completely stopped any and all momentum they had built up to that point by bringing out their goalline offense.

First Sunday of the year and the Houston-Indy matchup is without both Manning and Foster. I think at the end of the day, Ward will have close to the same production the Texans would have gotten out of Foster but the game comes down to how frequently Schaub and Johnson can connect.

Sunny day in Baltimore, thunderstorms after the game ends. It's a shame, Ravens-Steelers should never be played under nice conditions.

Vince Young out for the Eagles, so hopefully for them this isn't the game where Vick gets his annual injury.

Michael Hoomanawanui inactive today, so we have to wait at least another week to see his awesome last name crowd up the back of the Rams jersey.

Jason Witten got a $37 million extension to essentially keep him a Cowboy for life. Polamalu got a 4-year extension to keep him a Steeler for life, and it happened at the airport yesterday (Steelers don't negotiate during the season).

[mystikz]

I think Owen Daniels steps back up for the Texans.

as for Vince Young if you're an Eagles fan that should be a good thing. he's terrible, and Kafka knows the offense a whole lot better.

Lance Kendricks could be a nice sleeper, Bradford found him for some TD's in the preseason.

[naiwf]

Arian Foster's hamstring reminds me why I hate drafting RBs in fantasy

When the Colts go 3-13 this year it should end the long debate about whether Brady or Manning is/was the better QB.

[Dan]

The Colts are being stomped.

[NobBe Nobbs]

As somebody who's quietly rooted for Houston for a few seasons now, taking my first look at the CBS NFL page and seeing the Texans up 34-0 makes my heart grow three sizes.

And my knob.

Although if Daniels could snare a few catches, I'd appreciate it tremendously.

[mystikz]

still think they should have went with Painter, the Texans are wrecking them though 34-0 at the half. I've always like Schaub, Andre, and Daniels so I hope they do pull it off this year.

surprised the Falcons aren't doing better against the Bears...

Colts

We've started sloppy as hell and are just getting taken apart so far by the Ravens, not the start to the season that we need.

Edit: Shit just got even worst!

While you guys are celebrating the Texans success I'll be in the corner not crying..........................

[naiwf]

As somebody who's openly rooted against Pissburgh for a few seasons now, taking my first look at the CBS NFL page and seeing the Ravens up 29-7 makes my heart grow three sizes.

And my knob.

I think that's what you meant to say

Having the Steelers D and Arian Foster is not working out so well for me today.

[The Buscher]

Justin Tuck inactive. Lol this is so goddamn ridiculous. The Giants have had horrendous injury luck over the past few years years and 2011 has already trumped all of them.

[Berober]

Sky Sports giving subscribers NFL Redzone has been amazing. And the Browns are winning!

[Mr. X]

I was nervous going into this game, but our O has looked more competent than expected and our D hasn't given up very many big plays to the Falcons. So far it's been nice to watch a Bears football game and not be angry, hopefully this is something that continues throughout the season.

EDIT: I really like what Nick Reed has been doing, looks to be a solid depth addition for us and hopefully stays on in either a rotation player or special teamer.

Nah, I expected that.

Sunday's are so much more relaxing when Denver isn't playing and you're not playing fantasy football.
