Believe me... I was waiting to hear about an Adrian Peterson and 4 first round picks for Cedric Benson a couple of years ago.
I even would have given you Thomas Jones, back when we had both Benson and Jones, for that deal

That was a hell of a grab. I can't believe he is still ambulatory after watching his leg bend 30 degrees. Ben, not Troy pls. Although I would loathe Troy a lot less if he cut his fucking hair and played for a non-douchebag team

Wow, Tennessee is providing a textbook example of how to lose a game in the last 3 minutes.

Damn good game, about what I expected (minus the Ward fumble though).

Guess why I don't bother being a Bills fan. On of my favorite old jokes "How do you know OJ is innocent?" "The killer used a knife and the Bills are chokers." Jets looked hot, though. Nice D and good rookies. Iggles were looking good until Poor chunky soup.

While I was watching the second half last night the words "Wait for it... wait for it..." went through my mind and then there it was. Choke. And then all was right again with the universe.

How do you NOT tell that fool NOT to run that kick out of the end zone? I remember thinking to myself "damn, okay he probably won't fumble, but that's just fucking stupid." And then he fumbles.

I thought Sanchez showed pretty well for a rookie and almost regretted not trading with Haemish for him in the fantasy league. Also Delhomme

Well, I guess I can just keep rewatching that Urlacher hit on Rogers all season long and pretend its a new highlight every week.

One year later, and still can't hold a 4th quarter lead. Looked almost different from the last 2 seasons, with the exception that Cutler has that "franchise quarterback" ability to rack up passing yards that surprise you the next day in the box score.

I haven't read any of the reports in any detail, but I am struggling to see why you couldn't just tape that sucker up and play. What's so special about a dislocated wrist that you couldn't play with a big ole club on your hand?

Have you ever played linebacker competitively? Your hands are everything. This is especially true in the hypercompetitive NFL where there are 100 guys waiting in line to take over your spot in the lineup.

It's the center lunate bone, fractured. Movement could cause permanent nerve damage, cast or no cast. And WAP, looks like we'll be surround by navy jerseys in the visitor section. Lower lever, corner of the end zone. Really good view of Alexander's back running for the game winning touchdown last time I sat there.

I think Sauced's description of the injury puts a period on it...my gut reaction was nothing more than having seen so-called "skill position" players wearing casts, so surely a big fat linebacker could do the same. I stand corrected.

I think Sauced gave a better answer than I did. I apologize for being a bit over the top.

Also being wrong, the monster LB for the 49'ers Willis was killing people in college with a club on one hand, I believe that was just a thumb injury but the point stands that without use of a hand you can play LB I know I've seen it in the pros as well.

I'd argue that there exist a very select few players that could still hold down their LB job with a club hand. Perhaps Urlacher is one of them. The neurology would overshadow that in any event. I'll concede that there are exceptions, but overall I can't imagine playing a skill position like LB at the NFL level with only one usable hand.

Any idea which section? I am going to LMAO if it is near our normal seats.

Section is 127, I believe. Pretty sure concession is right behind there.

Same side of the stadium, opposite end zone (we are normally in 142). And yes, there are plenty of concessions nearby. Hopefully the weather will hold up long enough to get through the game sans monsoon.

Apologies for interrupting the deluge of NFL related posts. And I assume we are going to be wearing opposing jerseys

Help the soccer guy out...
Saints, 2-0 with two blow outs. OK, one was Detroit, but is Philly shit too? Or are we possibly seeing something here?

Philly is solid, but without McNabb, they're hurting on the offense.

Long term Saints fan here so take it with a grain (or a pound) of salt... I had the Eagles as one of the make-or-break games for the Saints this year. Granted, we faced Kolb rather than McRib, but the offense wasn't what had me worried. We ended up controlling their D but it could have gone the other way if a couple of plays/calls had gone the other direction. Sean Payton has a happy hand with the red flag and would challenge a gain if he didn't like the look of it - so we give away timeouts at times - it was a push today though... The Saints look extremely good this year but as a long term fan I know we can veer off-course at any given moment. I hope we're "seeing something" here, but I've been a fan far too long to get my hopes up this early in the season. Pardon the blatant homerism and I hope this helps.

Me too but not nearly as much as I hate NYG, Simms (and his stupid kid) and Eli Manning.

The Chargers defense likely was borrowed from Fresno State this week. God was that hard to watch.
That said, any week where both the Pats and Cowboys lose is a good one.

That's okay - the Ravens secondary wasn't much better. Rivers is insane and passed all over them all day long.
