NFL Week 3 Sunday Open Thread

With no Redskins action this Sunday, I thought it would be good to open up a thread if anyone wants to talk some football.

Stokley playing for the Giants makes me laugh
So did his drop on 3rd down.
I'm being dumb and starting Montario Hardesty over Robert Meachem in my flex spot

I feel like I’ll pay for this gamble…

high risk/reward

I had Hillis in my work league, luckily Ingram is my 4th RB in that league.

Stevie Johnson would look mighty nice in B&G next year
So would Dwayne Bowe
I would hate to have Dwayne Bowe on my team
maybe, but

You really want ANOTHER receiver?

He's 25 and a tremendous playmaker

I mean how long do you expect Moss, Gaffney, Stallworth, etc to be here?

Not to mention

Gaffney, Stallworth, Armstrong, {insert any Redskins WR besides Moss} are all 2nd or 3rd tier scrubs who probably wouldn’t even crack most NFL starting lineups.

hey don't talk about our scrubs like that!
isn't that what

They said about Brandon Lloyd? Look, I’m not really doubting him. All I’m saying is we’ve been begging for the team to develop our own talent for years. We finally have some waiting in the wings now, so why bring in another high priced free agent? Isn’t that the old way of doing business? Personally, I’d just assume stay away from the top tier free agents for awhile. Unless its a young stud O-lineman.
Now, that said, if Dez Bryant were to become available……

Haha. I know I’m gonna catch shit for that.

Dez Bryant? The Dez Bryant w/ 3 career starts? The malcontent? The guy that's always hurt?

You get upset about Stevie Johnson but try to make a case for Dez Bryant?

And who said that about Brandon Lloyd? And how can you compare that situation? Lloyd averaged 500 yards per year and 4 TDs. Stevie Johnson almost eclipsed that alone just last year.

Good luck getting a young stud O-lineman via FA.

I hope the Bills beat the Pats

No particular reason, just want Fitzy to be successful :S

Not looking good so far...about to be 14-0
Blah, oh well.

How do you feel now? They came back and did it! I just wish the Bears beat the Packers. The refs had some very strange calls in that one—both against the Bears.

Feels good!

I love the Bills/Lions/Browns; they’re all my second team after the Skins, haha.

My best friend is a Packers fan, so I’m a little biased. ;)

Giants vs. Eagles... can't decide who to root for... is it ok to root they both get a bunch of injuries?

It would feel so… evil… rooting for injuries.

root for a tie
I thought that since we beat the Giants... a Giants win... would be better than a Eagles win

I just can’t bring myself to root for the Giants… or Eagles for that matter

yea but that's assuming we lose to the Eagles
I will say I hate the Eagles a lot more than I hate the Giants

yep. Eagles should lose. Eagles lost. Good time. Now on to the Cowboys!

Is it ok to hope for a meteor to destroy Lincoln Financial?
that depends on how far you live from Lincoln Financial

Maybe Mars would save you

Since the Eagles are probably the toughest competition in our division...

.. I’m rooting for the Giants. Not Manning, just the Giants. If they can somehow win while Eli lays an egg, that would be great. Seeing the dejected faces he makes is just so enjoyable.

plus... he wears that funny "special ed" helmet
My guy Eli was great
Ryan Fitzpatrickfitzryan is not looking good today
Wow, major tackle fail for Philly
I'm really hoping this Panthers-Jags game ends 2-0
the dream team not playing well toninght lmfaooooooooooo
Great run after the catch for Victor Cruz... plus... I think he might be the 1st NFL player to dance "Salsa" after a TD!
They took Vicks helmet away hahahaha
I stand corrected... I was switchin between Detroit an Eagles, Detroit commentator said they took his helmet...
I hate that LeSean McCoy is so good
THe NFC East is butt unpredictable when we play one another

glad I started San Diegos def over Philly’s

I drank so much Kool Aid... I'm starting Helu, Tana and Fred Davis tomorrow
That's like 4 gallons of kool-aid

Hightower’s my lone Redskin, and he’s my 3rd back.

I'm good on WRs (Tana is my flex)... but my RBs suck.

I have RB Turner (ATL) but then D. Williams (CAR), Helu (WAS), Thomlinson (NYJ).

I have TE Vernon Davis (SF)… but he’s been sucking… thus… I’m playing TE Fred Davis this week

I have Turner too, I'm surprised Williams is as unproductive this season as he is
Its called the Haynesworth Syndrome... too much money... to someone who doesn't deserve it
oh yeah

I’m starting the skins D and gaffney…

Like I said before... I hate that McCoy (25) is so good... NYG 14 Eagles 10

How is it possible that the Eagles, allegedly the greatest team ever assembled in the history of organized sports, are losing a game???

They have a bad O-line and a bad linebacking core.

No run D, and no push upfront.

Dont listen to the media and just enjoy watching Micheal Vick play.

If he cant entertain you, no one can.

He has to play to entertain.
What will Vicks have more of by the end of the year

TDs vs Injuries vs complains in the Media?

It will be tight

After the game Vick was whining how the refs aren't protecting him

as they do other QBs – mentioning late hits, blows to the head, etc. Sort of weird because the hit on which he got hurt seemed legitimate (and his hand injury an accident), as was the one last week. Even Tony Dungy appeared to not support him, and all the guys on the show seemed to think the problem was with the Eagles, and specifically, the offensive line. Michael may be psyching himself out. It gives me hope that we might be able to beat the Eagles on 10/16.

Fitzpatrick is finally clicking, I need him to get a bunch of points.

I can’t believe I left the Viking’s D on my bench, I thought Stafford would be pooping on them but nooooo, since I benched the Vikes they have to have over 40 points. ass holes.

Stuck in california

So I’m watching the bengals and 49ers and trust me when I say the 49ers are bad, shucks begs the question of how bad Dallas is to have to come back and win in OT? Two games have shown Dallas really isn’t good. I don’t who the root for in the giants eagles game. Want to see giants in the basement, but want to see the eagles punched in the mouth.

Nighty night Eagles
Picked Buffalo in my survivor league

Looking good!

That would be an incredible win for the Bills

Can they survive the rest of the game, that is the question.

Vick's right hand broken.

Fragile.

Too bad he throws lefty.
Obviously

Too bad he can’t put 2 hands on the ball when he scrambles now.

Fragile? Their O-Line is garbage
Are you people Redskins fans?

Didn’t expect this news to be challenged here. Wow.

Yes fragile. Vick is constantly hurt. The guy is not that big and is constantly injured, whether a nagging injury or an injury which holds him out of the game. Yes fragile.

So who has Cruz on their fantasy team? hehe
Giants 29 Eagles 14

Giants found their running game… and WR Victor Cruz looked like a star.

Surprise Surprise… Dream Team is 1-2

How is it possible

That minn just chokes these games away in 2nd half

Anyone hear a warbling tone on the Minn/Det audio?
McNabb unsuccesful with the 2min Drill... could have won the game.
Cardiovascular issues?

Or do you think he was waiting to be benched for The Sex Cannon?

Ooooor.. Think he realized it could go to overtime?

as the season goes on...Shanny is being proved right... on all issues
Too bad he traded for him.
and... Jason Campbell is playing great!
WOW! Bills beat the Patriots!!!
Funny... all the anaysts who said Haynesworth would be awesome with the Pats...

now say its the worst Defense since Bielichik (can’t spell his name) arrived… Betcha they’ll cut Fat Ass this season

I didn’t notice him in the game. Was he playing? I didn’t once hear Worthless being called.

Albert did not play today - bad back
Did anyone notice Andre Carter?

I wonder how that is working out for him too.

I always liked him….I just knew that once we switched to a 3-2 def, his time at Washington was up (since that was the reason he left the Niners for).

oops...meant 3-4 Defense
Im starting to think that Calvin Johnson really is an Autobot...
Nah

He wins most of his fights. Autobots always get their asses kicked until getting lucky in the end.

Detroit and Buffalo = Contenders
After MNF... maybe they'll say the same of us!
Detroit has the best young core in the league. Stafford, CJ, Suh, Delmas, Best, etc....
great drafting will do that
or lots of sucking

to get high draft picks

Wow... BleedingGreenNation...

Absolutely imploding over there..

some people don't realize how much that team hinges on Vick
Exactly

 a bunch of clowns cryin’ and complaining but yet when the offseason was up and running those clowns were ‘creamin’ all over themselves….but hey, it is what it is!!!!

Tis a great core

except best. Man cannot run the ball.

He’s a playmaker but literally has no ability behind the line of scrimmage.

he's doing well in PPR leagues... they seem to be using him as a receiver... and CJ for short yardage
Torrey Smith is having a great game
When McNabb said this would be a special season...

..he didn’t say what specifically would be special about it.

I almost feel bad for him.

He’da been better off working the farm with Favre.

Vick says his hand is broken... blames Umps for not calling a late hit...

If it doesn’t heal in 2 weeks… we might end up facing QB Kafka!

Great

Then we get to hear the “if Vick had played” whiny bullshit again.

Maybe Vick's broken hand is like Romo's Punctured Lung... It will miraculously heal itself in 4 days!
It's the right hand - he'll play
Has anyone covered

Torrey Smith yet?

Ray Rice looked like

Barry Sanders on that run.

Suprise Suprise

Carlos Rogers held onto a pick

anyone got a good link for the packers bears game?
Man, I really lost out today in Fantasy

my opponent had Brees and Welker. Got 80 points between them….

I lost out big too...

WR Deion Branch (NE) 0 points
RB Michael Turner (ATL) 2 points
QB Josh Freeman (TB) 12 points
D/ST Saints 4 points

4 starters, 18 points between them

Watching Torrey Smith and other rookie WRs

Make legit plays today has me disapointed with the lack of rookie WR production on our team

Bears penalty on TD kickoff return

Can anyone figure out what the hell the ref was looking at when he called back the TD because of a supposed hold? No one was even near the guy he called it on. I sure hope the Redskins don’t come up against some whacky calls like that. I’ll go ballistic.

The Vikings Blog "Daily Norseman" is exploding about McNabb...

The bloggers are clamoring for the team to sit McNabb and start the rookie Ponder.

It only took them 3 games… we waited until December… and still some thought it was crazy to sit him for Grossman.

because his name is McNabb and the other guy’s name is Grossman. most people love to base their “knowledge” on what happened 5 years ago. McNabb sucks. the last two head coaches who saw his every single one of his snaps on film got rid of his ass.

Thank God for no Suisham
Haha
