haha, me and my dad are going to see the Pats at the Jets game on week 2!
we got the tickets ages ago but hey! Now we get to see Favre!:up:

[Marx]

So my Colts lost... :csad:

me and my buddies are going to the Jets/Giants pre-season game this month....

And you'll get to see...BRETT FAVRE!!!

[FaT_tONle]

I'd be nervous if I were a Jet fan... from Farve's own mouth... "there were times in practice where I was thinking if I actually made the right decision"... this guy is light years out of football shape both mentally and physically... this is going to be Vinny Testaverde all over again... the 05 Vinny... not the 1998...

[BlackLantern]

And you'll get to see...BRETT FAVRE!!!

I read somewhere that, following the National Anthem, Peter King will be out to blow Brett Favre prior to kickoff...

[NewYorkSpider]

Panthers first offense looked sharp in the first pre-season game. I hope Delhomme's arm can stay healthy through the season. DeAngelo Williams looked really good.

[Immortalfire]

Matt Ryan actually looked alright yesterday, but it was pre-season. Way too early to proclaim him as our next big thing.

Yeah I read it... but why even throw that out there this early on like the second practice? Obviously it's going to come off a lot better than had it been week 4 with the Jets at 1-3 and Farve struggling... but even if you are a guy like Farve... you want to exude confidence. Joking time is over... he's got three weeks before it's the real deal. Had he signed with the team pre-camp and all it would have been fine. I mean he has the right mindset but you wonder how motivated a 38 year old guy who has had the kind of success he has had for all these years can be.

He pretty good; that td was all Roddy White. Tarvaris Jacksons was the most impressive-given-expectations qb thus far.

Btw anyone se chris johnson 66 yard td?

Thats because they were not blessed with the power of the FAVRE!!!

I was very impressed with Matty Ice's debute, he displayed the same confidence and poise that Matt Shaubb did when he played his first preseason game for the falcons years ago.

If only the Bears could find a QB :(

Matt Ryan actually looked alright yesterday, but it was pre-season. Way too early to proclaim him as our next big thing.
Is he going to start this season?

So.....There going to start a Rookie fr the regular season? A rookie.
Falcons are a bunch of desperate whores huh? :woot:

Yes, I know. It's wild and stupid. But with Adrian ''Purple Jesus'' Starting for the Vikings and Derek ''Where'd he com from?'' Anderson and Braylon ''what a catch!'' Edwards togethr again i expect these 2 teams to have a great year with a little luck and stuff.

Pats won't make it. They have lost a couple good players and all they really did this off-season was re-sign Moss, sign some rookies and some minor things. nothing big. but who knows.

[RAMORE]

Exactly who knows and now the pressures off unless they go undefeated again;)

As for the redskins they were doing so good with that young kid at QB and i hate the redskins...i'm a buc fan.

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Bob Sanders.

[NewYorkSpider]

The Patriots will NOT win the Super Bowl. Here's why.

Since 1973, the loser of the previous Super Bowl has not gone on to win it the next season. The only time it has happened was Super Bowl V(Cowboys lost SB-V and won SB-VI) and Super Bowl VI(Dolphins lost SB-VI and won SB-VII).

Also, if history repeats itself, the Buccaneers will NOT win the Super Bowl. Of the 42 Super Bowls that have been played, no team has played in their own stadium.

[BlackLantern]

I usually try not to make a Super Bowl prediction before the season starts....seems a bit silly to me

[Alex The Great]

Someone shoot me...Psycho just downed DA PATS :wow:
:o:csad:


I'm not like other Pats fans *cough*Excel*cough* who go ''OH THEY WERE ROBBED! THERE GONNA GO 19-0!''


i use logic. shocking i know.

[RAMORE]

NYS your right about bucs but not because of stadium (that would rock) but because of QB and recievers.

Normally BGL I would agree but last year when the Patriots signed Moss I called right then they would be in the big show...I just thought they would win.

[BlackLantern]

a premier receiver (Randy Moss) goes to the most dominant team in the NFL and a prediction they are going to the SB is hardly going out on a limb or making a BOLD prediction....

Moss was a big factor in the Pat's performance last year. His re-signing with them ensures their capabilities and momentum from last year carry forward, but it does not bring new capabilities to their team that they did not already have as your post kind of makes it sound.

but it's like saying a car will break down if you put sugar in the gas tank....it makes you right by default, but its hardly impressive....

If someone says that the Browns will win the SB and that happens...thats damn impressive

[FaT_tONle]

I was WAY OFF in my preseason picks last year so I'll hold off till like third week pre season once a guage the injuries and everything else... logic tells you the Cowboys and the Chargers but I don't see it happening... I see another suprise from at least one of the conferences. The Jets and Browns are the first teams that come to mind in the AFC... maybe the Bills, Titans, Texans, Denver in that second tier... but along with the big three, more than likely the Jags or Steelers will come out of the AFC. NFC I have no clue. Logic says Dallas but I can see Minesota, Seattle, GB, Washington, Philli... I think the GIants are obviously a playoff team and they can still win the division but I don't see them winning 2-3 games in the post season again.

In my original, unsaved post, Brees finished 2nd in MVP voting. Smith could work however Rice will be sharing th load at best with McGahee unless he gets hurt. Like Ellis. Campbell is a good bet too. Williams also is sharing the lord. Meachem was dirty in his preseason game.

Winnable... but at Buffalo and at NY in December for a team that went 1-15 last year? No chance. And find me one other poster that disgrees with my individual breakdown of the Dolphins schedule other than a few nitpicks and I'll stop talking.

Thats the reason I have them winning. Theyll be the best running team in the NFL. In Buffalo and in NY in December only favors them. Theyll control the tempo and not let he other o get into any type of rythym.

:bh::bh:It's Time For Alex's Power Rankings!:bh::bh:




Moving On.....


1. Colts: Payton Manning, Wayn Harrison, Bob Sanders and his clones will have anoter good year. Perhaps to a Superbowl Berth
2. Patriots: They didn't really make goodmoves this off season. But they still have Welker, Moss and Brady so it's all good. Will just have to see if that defense can be god. seems a little iffy me-thinks.
3. Cowboys: Terrel Owens and his Quarterback Tony Romo should have another decent season. I wouldhave said different but Mee threatened to flay me alive if i didn't say positive stuff about the Cowgirls.
4. Chargers: Now that Norv Turner has got some experiance with the Chargers they might actually have a good start to the season. But LT and Rivers have to stay healthy and LT has to stop fighting for that 3 yards instead of going 30 yard rushes.
5. Steelers: They got there ass beat in January. Now there gonna come back and prove you wrong, Jerks.
6. Jaguars: They made some moves this off season. They gave the Pats a good fight in January. Expect them to do it again.
7. Giants: YOUR intergalactic champions of the universe New York Giants Will definatley Not Repeat. But if Eli Manning keeps his head on straight then they might have a good Playoff run.
8. Browns: All Hail Derek Anderson! With him starting full time him and Braylon Edwards back to continue to make amazing catches. They should have a potent offense. Defense....who knows....
9. Vikings: Purple Jesus takes the start, there QB is back to hopefully not screw up so they should have a playoff appearence.
10. Jets: With The Immortal Brett Farve starting this should be a very interesting season for the Jets. They could suck big time or Rock. I Can't decide which.....
11. Saints: Will they Come Stumbling in Or will they come Marching in? They had a bad start but a good ending....hopefully they'll get out of the gates fats.
12. Seahawks: With Alexander gone the pressure goes on Hassleback to carry the team to victory. I expect a Division Title at the most from them.
13. 49ers: They had soke hype last year but failed. Will Alex Smith finnaly be the QB San Fransiscoe Has Prayed for? We'll see. I expect at most a wild card appearence.
14. Packers: Will Aaron Rodgers be who we thought he was? we'll see.
15. Cardinals: Matt Leinaert better get his head of his ass. Or he's gonna get it me thinks. Will the cards make the playoffs? Maybe, with some luck.
16. Rams: Maybe, just maybe. They can actually be good....
17. Redskins: Losing Gibbs was hard. There Play will be poor this year. Playoffs, not gonna happen.
18. Bucceneers: I'd say if they maybe had offered more for Favre i'd rank em higher. But, they failed and there QB fiasco will continue.
19. Eagles: If they wore those ugly as sin uniform throwback it'd blind the oppenents and they'd win....sadly....I beleive Goodle has banned that Uniform and has had it shredded.
20. Raiders: There on the road to recovery. With Mcfadden and Russle they could have a good offense....yes....I just said that...
21. Lions: *Kitna* Were going 10-6. *Me* More like 6-10.
22. Bears: Wrecks Grossman is still the starter. If only Devin hester played every position....
23. Cheifs: Playoff appearence, very doubtful. i smell 5-11.
24. Broncos: Jay Cutler is the next Favre? Really? I say the next Rex Grossman. But with less Wrecks. They might make the playoffs. But I don't know what to see for the Broncos.
25. Texans: There the Texans. Nuff Said.
26. Bengals: With half of the roster in Jail they'll probably have to forfeit games due to failing o meet minimum roster requiments...
27. Panthers: I smell injuries. Vinny Testerverde will save them when they sign them again! Is he retired yet? Or is he still alive?
28. Titans: They aint proving me wrong. And plus Vince Young doesn't have the Power Ring.
29. Ravens: Mixed feeling on this one. But there probably gonna stink it up on the feild me thinks. Unless Kyle Boller saves them. (heh)
30. Falcons: Matt Ryan is Starting? There starting a rookie QB? Desperate Whores.
31. Bills: Marshawn Lynch is back as the starter. hoorah. They'll still be in the basement of the AFC East.
32. Dolphins: :dry::lmao::dry:


And in other news. Tom Brady announced that he is in fact an android made by skynet. which explains why he is so good, and so beutiful.

[NewYorkSpider]

I wouldn't have the Colts at #1 but that's just my opinion. Manning is coming off knee surgery and we don't know how it's going to affect him. I would have the Patriots or Cowboys at #1.

[Cmill216]

13. 49ers: They had soke hype last year but failed. Will Alex Smith finnaly be the QB San Fransiscoe Has Prayed for? We'll see. I expect at most a wild card appearence.
15. Cardinals: Matt Leinaert better get his head of his ass. Or he's gonna get it me thinks. Will the cards make the playoffs? Maybe, with some luck.

18. Bucceneers: I'd say if they maybe had offered more for Favre i'd rank em higher. But, they failed and there QB fiasco will continue.

Yeah....no.

It's no attack on you. So don't take it personal.

But there's no way I can look at a team like the 49ers and say they're significantly better than the Bucs or the Panthers. Tampa has a Super Bowl defense, and Carolina is going to be better than the 7-9 club they were last year.

[BlackLantern]

John Fox is in the hot seat this season....Carolina needs to do well

[NewYorkSpider]

There's been speculation that if Carolina doesn't fare well this season then the Panthers will fire John Fox and persue Bill Cowher. Cowher has a house in Raleigh, North Carolina. I think Carolina will will be decent this season. The NFC South should be competitive once again.

I think they'll can Fox and hire Cowher unless they go to the NFC Championship. And if they lose that, they may still call it a choke and do it. Fox must call Coughlin now!

You see ESPN doesn't want to appease the actual football fans... they want to cater to the general casual audience so they pretty much beat the same stories throughout the broadcast. It was pretty much 90% Packers/Farve/Rogers and about 10% ocho cinco. I am absolutely disgusted with them. I'd take back Theisman and Maguire any day of the week... just get Kornheiser out of there.

[Kelly]

to play devils advocate.....People are watching the Favre coverage...it's been the highest rated segments on ESPN/ESPN2 for the past couple weeks....

Exactly.....this is a huge story. Of course it is going to take up the majority of the time in sports news, and it will continue to do so until he looses the first 3 games of the season.....after that it will slow down.:cwink:

[Raiden]

Jets will either be very good or be very bad. i can't decide which.

I think Jets will definitely double their win total from last year, and have a chance to go either 9-7 or 10-6 (depending on how well Favre adjust to his new system). They do have 10 winnable games so if they win those games they will be in very good shape.

I do see them drafting Matthew Stafford though. I was kinda hoping that the ravens would held off drafting a qb this season and take Stafford or Bradford.

[Alex The Great]

Wrecks Grossman needs to be hit by a truck.

[Excel]

Rex was a monster at Florida. However, Tebow is NOT the guy you want. Stafford from Georgia, Bradford from OKlahomah, even Painter at Purdue will be a lot better in the pros then Tebow.

That said, you also need a wr, and possibly rb depending on how Forte goes.

Ten NFL Predictions You Can Take to the Bank


Counting down the 10 predictions you need to know heading into the 2008 NFL Season.



10. The Green Bay Packers will win the NFC North with a 10-6 record,

Sure, their Hall of Fame quarterback is gone and the Packers have zero NFL starts combined between their three quarterbacks. But don’t forget that Green Bay has one of the youngest and best defenses in the league along with young studs at the skill positions (Ryan Grant at RB and Greg Jennings at WR).



With five games against the Lions, Bears, and Falcons, the Packers will be halfway to a 10-win season and division title before you know it.



9. The New York Giants will finish last in the NFC East.

Every team in the NFC East got better except the defending Super Bowl Champs. Don’t harp too long on their late season run from last year, as thrilling as it was. The only threat on offense is Plaxico Burress.



Besides, the recent trend has seen teams struggle the following year after winning the NFC (Bears, Seahawks, Eagles, Panthers). The Giants won’t be any different.



8. The New Orleans Saints will have the most prolific offense in the NFL while finishing 12-4, tops in the NFC.

Adding Jeremy Shockey will prove to be more valuable to the Saints offense than drafting Reggie Bush. Giving Brees another target, similar to Antonio Gates, will make the Saints offense difficult to stop.



Brees had a rating of 100 or better in seven of the last 12 games last season. Expect that trend to continue.



7. Braylon Edwards will lead the NFL in touchdowns, not Randy Moss or LT.

Because of the surreal performance put on by Randy Moss last season (23 touchdowns), people forget that Edwards put on a show of his own with 16 touchdown grabs.



Only LaDainian Tomlinson (18) stood between Edwards and Moss. Expect Edwards to get close to 20 again this year, as he has quickly become the best young receiver in the NFL.



6. The Minnesota Vikings will not make the playoffs.

You read correctly. The most important position in the game is quarterback. I understand that they have Adrian Peterson and a nasty defense. I understand that they have a beastly offensive line. And yes, I know that Trent Dilfer led a similar team to a Super Bowl with the Ravens.



But here’s a news flash. Tarvaris Jackson isn’t even in the same league as Dilfer. Nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions in a season aren’t going to get it done. Sorry.



5. The Cowboys will have a better team but finish with a worse record than last season.

Dallas will have a better running game, a better defense, and a better special teams unit. But don’t expect 13 or 14 wins. They play in the brutal NFC East and have to play at Green Bay, at Cleveland, and at Pittsburgh.



That’s a tough schedule for anyone. Expect 11 or 12 wins. However, they will end the playoff-winless streak this season and at the end of the day, that’s more important.



4. Larry Johnson will have another terrible year.

The Chiefs’ quarterbacks don’t scare anybody. Herm Edwards likes to run his running backs into the ground. The Chief’s offensive line is among the worst in the league. Larry Johnson had a significant foot injury last year. If all that is not a recipe for a bad season, I don’t know what is.



3. Drew Brees will be the league’s MVP.

He will throw for 26-28 touchdowns, seven-10 interceptions, complete over 65 percent of his passes, amass about 4,000 yards, and have a rating above 100 by the end of the season en route to winning the MVP award. He's had similar numbers before.



2. The Dallas Cowboys will not represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. New Orleans will.

If predictions No. 8 and No. 3 on this list are not enough, here is one more for you. New Orleans will have the advantage of playing at home in the Superdome come playoff time. Why? Because they'll have the best record in the NFC.



The Cowboys were ranked 14th on a list of strength of schedules while the Saints were ranked 28th. Remember how loud it got there when the Saints played their first game back after Katrina? Expect something similar if Dallas comes to town for the NFC Championship game.



1. The New England Patriots will not represent the AFC in the Super Bowl; San Diego will.

Two simple reasons: the Pats didn’t get better in the offseason. And, the Chargers are a better team when healthy. You’ll see.



Bonus: The Madden Curse will strike again, as Brett Favre will not throw more than 20 touchdowns and will miss the playoffs, and then retire...temporarily.

Now all of a sudden the Saints are this big time football team? I could see it but I wouldn't annoint them just yet. Obviously Bush and Brees will bounce back... then you pray Shockey and Duece can stay healthy... but that is not a big time defense. I don't think the Saints will be a one seed.

pretty much every offseason the Panthers or the Saints are picked to win the South...even though the Saints' defense got worse each year and the Panthers offense can't stay healthy and really hasn't proved it has the depth to stay competitive and they lost most of their D-line. Though the saints will have a good offense I don't see them doing anymore than fighting for 2nd place with Carolina....I see the Bucs winning the South again and breaking the First to Worst trend with their top 5 defense and an upgraded O-line that will help their offense be more effective than last year.

so true....They have Chad Pennington though :(

Though with there receivers it'll never work out......

[Simon Phoenix]

from what I saw from them vs. the bucs....Beck is their best bet a QB right now...unless Pennington shows some consistency...so McCown is probably going to be cut and probably picked up by chicago or dallas... I just hope one of them trades for Chris Simms.

JOHNSON WANTS TO BE OCHO CINCO, LEGALLY

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was fined $5,000 for wearing “Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey before a game in 2006.

To avoid getting fined, Johnson hasn’t done it since then. But Johnson now has a plan for how he can get away with having “Ocho Cinco” spelled out over the “85″ on his back.

We’ve learned that Johnson has taken the first steps in the state of Florida toward legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco.

Seriously.

If Johnson follows through on this, his actual, legal name will be Chad Ocho Cinco, and the NFL would then (we assume) allow him to put his new last name on the back of his jersey.

From a business standpoint, this might be Chad’s way of picking up some of the extra cash that he wants to make but that the team has said it won’t give him. The jersey would instantly become one of the NFL’s top sellers, and NFL players get a cut of all sales of their jerseys.

In recent interviews, including one on ESPN Monday night, Johnson has made veiled references about future plans that he has said will change the way fans think about him. This is a strange one, to say the least.

[Kaleb]

Pennington getting most reps

The evidence that Chad Pennington is in fact the starting quarterback for the Dolphins continues to show itself during team practices. John Beck and Josh McCown continue to be bystanders during practice, according to the Orlando Sun-Sentinal. "What I have seen is, I've seen between spring and now, about over 500 throws," Tony Sparano told the paper. "I've seen an awful lot of them. I'm starting to get a pretty good picture one way or the other. I need to see, certainly more Chad Pennington."

Our View: Sparano seems to be playing off Pennington's current status. Coaches in the league knows what they have with Pennington, and a team isn't going to sit their starter on the sidelines during the heat of training camp to evaluate a backup. Pennington is the 'Phins starter Week 1 barring an injury.

rototimes.com

[Belvedere]

Rex was a monster at Florida. However, Tebow is NOT the guy you want. Stafford from Georgia, Bradford from OKlahomah, even Painter at Purdue will be a lot better in the pros then Tebow.

That said, you also need a wr, and possibly rb depending on how Forte goes.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing the Bears draft Cullen Harper in the second, the fact that Stafford's never even completed 60% of his passes is slightly off putting.

[FaT_tONle]

Pennington gives the best chance to win... you don't throw away your season week one. But the thing is... don't they want to find out what John Beck is? He has more experience than Henne... that's why I don't like this fit for Pennington.

It might be because Pennington was drafted by Bill Parcells and fits his mode of QB better then John Beck.

Of course, Big Bill's Puppet (Tony Sparano) might beg to differ.

[Kaleb]

Chad Johnson needs to come to New England. We'll get his head straight. Look what we did to Randy Moss? We made him WANT to play football :up:
yip and thanks to him , the pats are now the superbowl champions,wait whaaaat they not the superbowl champions ?

JOHNSON WANTS TO BE OCHO CINCO, LEGALLY

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was fined $5,000 for wearing “Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey before a game in 2006.

To avoid getting fined, Johnson hasn’t done it since then. But Johnson now has a plan for how he can get away with having “Ocho Cinco” spelled out over the “85″ on his back.

We’ve learned that Johnson has taken the first steps in the state of Florida toward legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco.

Seriously.

If Johnson follows through on this, his actual, legal name will be Chad Ocho Cinco, and the NFL would then (we assume) allow him to put his new last name on the back of his jersey.

From a business standpoint, this might be Chad’s way of picking up some of the extra cash that he wants to make but that the team has said it won’t give him. The jersey would instantly become one of the NFL’s top sellers, and NFL players get a cut of all sales of their jerseys.

In recent interviews, including one on ESPN Monday night, Johnson has made veiled references about future plans that he has said will change the way fans think about him. This is a strange one, to say the least.

I guess you can use the excuse for 49ers' coach Nolan, but if the team keeps on losing the coach has to be blamed somehow.

How do you have the bucs 5 back from the freaking nothing eagles?!?!?

[RAMORE]

pretty much every offseason the Panthers or the Saints are picked to win the South...even though the Saints' defense got worse each year and the Panthers offense can't stay healthy and really hasn't proved it has the depth to stay competitive and they lost most of their D-line. Though the saints will have a good offense I don't see them doing anymore than fighting for 2nd place with Carolina....I see the Bucs winning the South again and breaking the First to Worst trend with their top 5 defense and an upgraded O-line that will help their offense be more effective than last year.

Thank you this is what i'm talking abut the panthers every year are supposedly a sleeper...damn somebody better wake them up. They're not that good really. If they had a QB worth a damn then we would be talking.

I do like the saints but I don't see them as the favorite i think bucs but i'm biased:D

[RAMORE]

Chad Johnson needs to come to New England. We'll get his head straight. Look what we did to Randy Moss? We made him WANT to play football :up:

Most people have the top flight loud mouth recievers all wrong they just want to win period. Take moss, owens, johnson etc. and put them on the right team and immediately they are the best teamates in the world and they don't get in trouble. They just hate to lose.

[BlackLantern]

I wouldn't want to be in Cincinnati either....

[Kaleb]

How do you have the bucs 5 back from the freaking nothing eagles?!?!?

With Mcnabb (when healthy ) the eagles are always in contention to represent the nfc in the superbowl, with Jeff Garcia the bucs are just a playoff calibre team.

[Nightmare]

I dont see the bucs making it.

[Dr. Evil]

I dont see the bucs making it.

I was shocked when The Bucs did not trade for Brett Favre. Had they traded for Favre, that probably would have meant that the Bucs would have had 11 QB's in camp instead of 10.

:woot:

Jon Gruden is obsessed with Quarterbacks.

[RAMORE]

Rest assured if they had been given the option favre would be in tampa right now.

[BlackLantern]

it's like Jeff Garcia says...."Gruden doesn't marry, he just dates"

[Kaleb]

Patriots might decide to go younger on defense and sign John Lynch

http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_10189839




oh wait did I say get younger, my bad.

[Marx]

I disagree - Chad Johnson is awesome :up:

No, actually he's a moron...and an ego-maniac.

I don't see how this is bad for the Bengals.

Cinci NEEDS Chad to draw attention away from the horrible handling of the team by Lewis and Co.

Marvin Lewis is not the problem. Chad's unwillingness to play as part of a TEAM is.

I wouldn't want to be in Cincinnati either....

And why the heck not???

[Simon Phoenix]

How do you have the bucs 5 back from the freaking nothing eagles?!?!?

doesn't make sense to me either..especially since McNabb hasn't been the same since he messed up his leg...if it wasn't for westbrook they wouldn't have won as many games as they did...McNabb needs to be more consistent..

Thank you this is what i'm talking abut the panthers every year are supposedly a sleeper...damn somebody better wake them up. They're not that good really. If they had a QB worth a damn then we would be talking.

I do like the saints but I don't see them as the favorite i think bucs but i'm biased:D

I agree...I am a Bucs fan...but I'm honest enough to know the saints will give us a run for our money...I just don't see the Panthers winning more than the Bucs and Saints unless something drastic happens..

Lynch Signs with New England

Also...
John Beck-QB-Dolphins Aug. 14 - 11:40 am et

The Dolphins have been attempting to trade John Beck recently, and profootballtalk.com got an "unconfirmed tip" that Beck has been cut.

The Palm Beach Post reported that Beck practiced earlier Thursday, so he obviously was a member of the team then, and this report may be jumping the gun. Either way, it's clear the Parcells regime has little use for Beck, who turns 27 next week. He'll get a second chance, but his "prospect" status has dimmed considerably.

John Beck is a decent QB....someone will pick him up, if he gets some more snaps he can be a serviceable starter...

John Beck has not been released. He practiced with Miami today.

I think Miami releases Josh McCown anyways.

More old white guys on defense. Makes sense.

[Raiden]

More old white guys on defense. Makes sense.

Well, since Pats almost went undefeated with many old men on defense, Belichick figured what fix something that isn't broken? With more old guys, Pats probably feel that they can win SB this season.

[NewYorkSpider]

Eagles tried a fake FG. Instead Carolina picked it off and ran it back for TD.

[FaT_tONle]

I am wondering if it is going to be one of those 6-10 years for Philly. It is preseason I get that and injuries would likely play a huge hand if that were the case... but I am not sure how good that O-line this year with those aging tackles and they haven't made too many improvements offensively. I mean they are 8-8 or 9-7 in most divisions... but with the Giants, Cowboys, and Skins in there I don't know how competitive they can be this year.

Tra Thomas and Runyan still paly at a high level...although Thomas has had some issues with his back. Andrews is probably a top 2-3 Guard in the league and the rest of the line isn't shabby. There gonna win 9-10 games this year...but that's contigent on McNabb being healthy so thats a big if.

Desean Jackson looked good tonight....7 for 71

Yes, DeSean Jackson was having a pretty easy time getting open for the entire game last night; hell he had a nice block on that long td run that sprang him all the way. 7 for 71, plus a 18 yarder he dropped when it was pouring; and another on the 1st series where he burned his coverage deep but the ball just a tad overthrown.

Hes looking good' with a healthy McNabb he could go over 1,000 easy; he looks to be getting a lot of playing time.

Btw tune in tonight to CHRIS JOHNSON of the Titans maul the Raiders :up: :up: :up:

The NFL preseason is a gague of potential-For your team, the positioning for the team roles and for mostly the new players. and by and large has been good so far.

You should never remember the season to season records of preseason, unless your a hopless stat person, but if the COLTS keep some of these guys on the precut rosters man were going to be loaded. Then too we can't keep all of the guys who've had some good auditions, and that speaks to some of the guys other teams might get. We gota #3 QB-a big white dude who can run, but I don't think throws very well. I think he could start on another team, Hope we keep Quinn Gray-I think by the time he sees andy PT behind #18 he'll be too old, but the COLTS D seems pretty deep, I hope some of these cats make it.

The guy to watch is Mike Hart. Set Mich records and will surley make the team. We also go Dominik (sp) DUI Rhodes back from Oaktown. We could have a 3 RB tandey here...

reminds me of a song WHEN THE AFC SOUTH IS IN THE HOUSE/ OMG DANGA!!!

Well this is my first season with NFL network and I am enjoying these re-runs of preseason games... watching my Cowboys and they do not look impressive the least bit. The defense is stock piled with names but it still stinks... what's new? I never get crazy when it comes to preseason but I am looking at 10-6 or 11-5 if they are healthy. Probably the favored/trendy pick to get out of the NFC this year but I think we'll start off really slow. Probably going to get blown out in Clevland week one but it doesn't really matter if we start off slow. You'd prefer to get the division title and the bye and everything but I am hoping the team plays their best football in December for a change like a San Diego/Giants last year or Pittsburg when they won their Superbowl. It's a long season and homefield advantage is irrelevant these days with the exception of Foxboro.

[Kaleb]

Chad Johnson left Sunday night's preseason game against the Lions with a shoulder injury. The Bengals initially called him "questionable" to return.

However, it's unlikely they'll risk putting him back in because of the game's lack of importance. He left the field hunched over in pain and doctors tended to Chad's left shoulder on the sideline. We'll keep you updated.

Patriots looked freaking awful tonight. And I know it's preseason and what not but when the Bucs offense is looking like the second coming of the Montana/Bill Walsh 49er teams you know you are in trouble. I don't know how much production they can get out of those aging linbackers this year. You got aging safeties and a second year player who hasn't proven himself. Seymour or someone on that D-line is almost never 100% healthy in crunch time and their corner situation is a flat out joke. They'll be competitive as long as Brady, Welker, Moss are healthy but it's not like I am giving much insight on their team's prospects by saying that.

[Immortalfire]

woooow, erm OK, please please please don't let Brady get injured this season, Matt Castle is awful

I went to a Thrashers game back in December, they were playing the Bruins, and during intermission they listed the top ten worst things a Boston fan could hear. #1 was Tom Brady suffers serious leg injury, could be career-threatening.
