On one hand you have to love that you're 2-1 if you're the Bengals but damn you're a fluke away from being 3-0.

FINtastic · 09-27-2009, 06:12 PM

I know it's early, but is Pittsburgh in a little bit of trouble? They are 1-2 right now, and they almost lost that first game as well.

FINtastic · 09-27-2009, 06:13 PM

So anyone think that after three weeks we would be looking at an 0-3 Titans team and a 1-2 Steelers team?

Oh, and Denver is 3-0 to start the season! After their horrendous offseason, I thought they were going to be the worst team in the league (or darn close to it).

Just goes to show this is kind of an unpredictable league.

Their defense won a couple fantasy games for me today...

I heard somewhere that Benson is back just for the check. That's not at all a knock on him. I mean...duh, who wouldn't do that job for the check?

He doesn't have any suck to him. You don't get recruited to UT and then drafted in the NFL if you have suck about you. I'd feel very, very confident saying that the Ced Benson you see now is a whole lot closer to the ideal RB he can be than the Ced Benson you saw before.

After all, taking the ball and running with it is not at all a cerebral exercise.

I don't know if they are "in trouble," but I do know that they aren't very good. They will miss Palumaulu in a big way.

Yup, I picked them up in two of my three leagues with great results.

AP Reports

Washington Redskins Practice Halted Due To Unknown White Powder Scare

The Redskins practice was delayed nearly 2 hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the field.
Redskin's Coach Jim Zorn immediately suspended practice and the field was evacuated. Police, local Haz Mat, and the FBI were called in to investigate.

After analysis, FBI experts determined the substance, unknown to players, was actually the GOAL LINE.

Practice was resumed after agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this year.

HAHAHAAHHAHAH.

I don't think that joke will ever go away.

Are you talking about the goal line powder or the Redskins franchise?

Dtownsfinest · 10-01-2009, 04:54 PM

How about the facepalm Redskins logo?

DirkFTW · 10-01-2009, 07:15 PM

To paraphrase a Redskins player, "you burger flippers should keep your yapper shut and just enjoy the game!"

I live in Miami, but I want to watch the Dallas/Denver game.

First off, would Fox be showing that game down here? Second, if they don't, would someone be able to link me to a site that is showing the game?

Miami is blacked out from the Fox afternoon games because the Dolphins have a home game at the same time. Here is a site where you can look at the coverage maps: http://the506.com/nflmaps/index.html

As far as a link goes, there probably won't be one up until game time. But check sites like justintv or ustream.

Why are we being forced to watch another NFC East team dismantle the putrid Chiefs again?

At least there's a good game on CBS.

Did you watch that free preview of the NFL red zone channel yesterday?

Man, that is some greatness. No commercials and they're jumping around all over the place. They had me seriously considering paying for that yesterday.

jthig32 · 10-06-2009, 07:58 AM

Dangit, I was not aware there was a free preview.

Where were you with this info yesterday?

Flacolaco · 10-06-2009, 09:10 AM

Sorry. I couldn't get off the couch because there were no commercials! There wasn't even half time of any sort. They just kept showing live football for three hours straight. It's a pretty genius channel.

Dang Flac throw up an AP and use the laptop. It isn't that hard.

You mean, they switch the stadium any time a ball is near the red zone ?

Kyle Orton is playing so far over his head right now.

I live in Altoona, too. But no club wanted to draft me ( except for the Army ) :-)

I'm a bit late...but ya we watched NFL RedZone around here...and as cool as it was, it also drove me nuts...it felt as if someone else had the remote...I can't handle watching sports when someone else is driving...

GIVE ME THE Dang REMOTE!!!

Well, I'm one fan who won't be buying the channel!!!

Let me pick and choose which hilights I want to watch...then you might have soemthing.

fluid.forty.one · 10-11-2009, 09:03 PM

Peyton Manning is too good.

GermanDunk · 10-12-2009, 03:16 PM

Does the OT with coin toss make sense ? I mean, the winner of the toss only has to get in field goal range and kick...

The coin toss is stupid. I say the team captains should play rock, paper, scissors.

Kinda nice to see everyone in the NFC East lose during the Cowboys bye week - still plenty of time to turn this season around...

Kirobaito · 10-20-2009, 12:50 AM

As bad of a situation we may think the Cowboys are in, at least we're not the Redskins.

DirkFTW · 10-20-2009, 08:50 AM

So... Denver, huh? Guess they're not as fake a team as I had thought.

FINtastic · 10-20-2009, 12:33 PM

I still can't believe they are 6-0. That team seemed like they were on the verge of collapse in the offseason.

And the Eagles lost to the Raiders.

Dallas would be on fire if the cowboys did that.

We still gotta play Oakland and as bad as they are on Offense they have a really good Defensive. It's not an automatic W. But as long as they stick with JaMarcus Bustel we should have enough O to win.
