2011 NFL Season

[Blitz]

NFL players hit in the head all the time. You rarely see a player actually tackle the fundamental way anymore. It kinda ticks me off when I see it, too, because a lot of the injuries might be prevented if players played the game the way it was meant to be played. Anyone catch the OU/FSU game last week when both Sooner defenders collided with the FSU WR, leading to him leaving on a stretcher? Neither of those players even attempted to raise their arms up to tackle the guy, but instead acted like a human torpedo.

That's one of my biggest beefs with the game too. Not necessarily because of injuries, but because you see these kids think they're strong enough to just run into someone. Then the ball carrier bounces off the guy and runs for another ten yards. Wrapping your arms around the ball carrier is so fundamental, but everyone thinks they're Superman out there nowadays.

Chris Kluwe continues to win at life. Too bad his team sucks. The first one is from last year, the other one is obviously recent.

How much money do you expect Flacco to get, out of curiosity?

Depending on whether the team gets a ring between now and then I'd expect somewhere in the 5-year $65 million range. If a DT is gonna get that kind of money then the QB most certainly has to.

Peyton Hillis has a bad case of strep throat and won't be playing in today's game against the Dolphins. Time to see if Hardesty can step up.

Torrential rain in Carolina, so heavy you can barely see the action on the field.

Mike Vick is going to be dead by week 6 with this abortion of an offensive line.

[Lineker]

Giants!

[SeanDMan]

I guess you could say he's getting pounded...

...

...just like a dog.

[gunnar hendershow]

Broken hand for Vick.

[Guest mr. potato head]

What the hell is up with the Bills that they can suddenly hang with any team?

(And as I type that, interception return for touchdown, Buffalo takes the lead!)

[Cadj]

Amazing stuff in Buffalo.

Hilarious as well.

[SilentHitman]

Did I read the ticker right? Brady has 4 interceptions?!!

[gunnar hendershow]

Still a lot of football to play in Buffalo.

Eagles look horrible.

Britt has a knee injury.

Lot of great games today, wish I had RedZone.

[mystikz]

I was almost laughing when I picked the Bills and saw they were down 14-0 earlier....

now .... yeah.

oh and the how long till Vick gets hurt again pool? hahaha

edit: wish I had this Texans/Saints game, looks great.

Titans had me worried but I'm alive another week in the Survival pool.

[mystikz]

Chris Johnson 13 Carries 21 Yards. wow, he's absolutely worthless this year. how did that hold out work out? I guess it doesn't matter now that he got his money.

are the Vikings going to blow another big lead? 17-0 last week and now 20-0? McNabb is shit....

Mike Vick is going to be dead by week 6 with this abortion of an offensive line.

Unfortunately. And our linebackers are HORRENDOUS. Plus the typical Andy Reid play-calling abilities (1st and goal TWICE and only 6 pts ; unnecessarily going for it on 4th and 1), and terrible time management. I'm ready to start the WE WANT COWHER chants...
