Week 2 NFL action

[SteveBsFan]

I will tell you that the area is ecstatic right now. I could not put into words what a win over NE would do for us. for years we've been the NE whopping boys. so much so, i'm sure that NE fans don't know how much we hate them.

You're right, we don't know

As far as the Lions..

a) It was the pre-season
b) The offensive line was missing a few guys IIRC
c) The Lions have a pretty solid defense
d) It was the pre-season

Really though, if it were that easy to just pressure Brady, Miami and SD would have done it. Will it happen this year? Yea, probably.. I can see the Jets getting in his face a lot.. but it takes a really nasty defense to disrupt that flow.

the hate for the pats is at an unreal level......I couldn't describe it if I tried. the city/buff fan base would go crazy if we were able to find a way to win this game.

There is probably only 3 teams that can get to Brady on a consistent basis. That would be Pittsburgh, Jets, and the Lions. The rest of the league is probably fucked unless they can outscore them and don't turn the ball over.

Imagine 20 years of Tom Brady (Brett Favre) then they draft another Tom Brady (Aaron Rodgers). I'm wondering if I'm literally going to go my whole life watching great Packer QBs.

Perhaps the worst is that I became an NFL fan as a child based on uni colors and trading cards. Now as an adult with a more worldly view I find that my arch-rival is possibly the model for how things should be done. Meanwhile the Bears are cheap.

As a lifelong Lions fan i know what your saying. I think the Lions finally have a franchise type QB in Stafford but since ive been a fan since 1980 this is their first. While the Packers get to enjoy 20+ plus years of All Pro QB's. Some things just aren't fair lol.

I remember the Rodgers/Smith draft. I was watching Rodgers fall the whole way to #24 (?) saying to the NFL as a whole "You're really gonna do this to me? You're gonna let what was potentially the #1 pick fall all the way to the fuckin' 20's to my arch-rival who's salivating to pick him up!?!?!?!?"

Not counting game 1, Miami has actually given the Pats more trouble than Pittsburgh over the years. The last time Brady lost to the Steelers was the 2004 regular season. The Dolphins have beaten him 4x since then. Granted they play the Dolphins twice a season, but they play the Bills twice a season too.

Biggest trouble for Brady over the years have been the Jets, Colts, Dolphins, and the freakin Broncos. Brady has lost the last 4 games vs the Broncos dating back to 2005.

Awesome! McDumbass's one positive contribution.

[SteveBsFan]

Wow, have to give the Bills credit. Brady made some poor plays, but a lot of his INT's were a result of the Bills hustle.

I'm not sure where this team would be the past few seasons without Welker, that's for sure.

just got into work comming back from the Titans/Donkeys game. Neither team played well and the Titans could not get out of their own way with over 10 penalties - At Home!

Anyways I am looking forward to reading what that girlyman Orton has too say this year. He was quite the sore winner last season. Just rub some vagisil on it you puss!

Titans had a 95 yard TD drive to win 17-10, with the BU TEs playing a major role. Stephens, who may technically be starting but clearly Cook is the better TE, caught a 50+ yarder to flip the field and X-Donkey Graham grabbed the game winner from Hasselback.

The Rams are horrible right now

Pfft. That little punk b*tch Finnegan played up to about 1% of the opinion he has of himself. So Orton is "girly" 'cause he came to the defense of his lineman who took a cheap shot? lol. The whole league knows he's a dirty player and he'll get what's coming to him eventually. Gotta give Tennessee credit though, they won (although their performance last week was much more impressive).

[Kobeck]

Orton is girly because he B*tched and moaned about how 'cheap' the Titans were last year. Took a 50+ yard Hope PI call and a fluke KO for the Donks to beat the Titans in 2010 yet Kylie Orton decided to run his mouth instead of realizing just how lucky his team was to leave with a W in 2010. I will be reading the Denver paper too see if he is still talking crap this year, I am sure he is.

He seems quite fine with his OL cut blocking the DL, yet he seems too have issues when he takes a shot or his OL gets a knee in their neck. Which is what I would have the DL do anytime the OL went for their knees - just drop a knee into their neck and they will stop or be hauled off on a cart.

HOW DARE YOU!!!
(on second thought, nevermind)

nice little recap of the 2010 game, minus the reason for the 6 point win of course.

looks like they are circleing the wagons around Fox - lol

They are right. Punch in that TD and Donks win, but the real decision was to kick the FG. I think going for the TD was the right call myself, but it did work out for Tennessee this one time. Most of the time the D holds and the O gets another shot at the TD from around midfield.
