my colts looked rough yesterday, but its preseason. im going with the safe bet of us getting to 8-8 this year, i dont see another 11-5 season going down. i thought we had a chance at the AFC south, but houston is looking beastly already. go ahead and bump TY up on your potential WR list now...
ej looked pretty good yesterday, he better get the start in buffalo. i think the rams will be the sleeper of the season. watching the pats forever run the ball is weird. i see a denver/sf superbowl in our future and peyton will take it.
ject - did you ever follow through with the NFL ticket from Madden 25? have you tested it out at all yet in the preseason or is it not eligible until regular season starts? looks like the deal is still available.

I reserved a copy via amazon.com but it hasn't shipped yet. My estimated delivery date is August 27th, I believe. It's a 17 week 'trial offer' so even if I had it now, I'd be reluctant to waste any of those 17 weeks on pre-season. From all the detective work I've done on the offer, it seems legit. Even if it isn't, you can always return for a full refund with Amazon as their return policy is awesome.
I think this is going to be sick. I've got the media laptop hooked up to my tv and plan on being fully set up by week one.

I agree with both. If I were Kolb I'd be nervous. The Rams have to find a way to protect Bradford but Austin will be deadly. Losing Jackson hurt them also though.
11-5? The Pats go 11-5 with Matt Cassell as quarterback. Literally.
Brady looked pretty beastly passing to an almost completely rebuilt receiver corps of young dudes in that Buc's game.
Man, I'm so ready for regular season. The pre season is total suck...non stories becomes huge issues (RGIII Shanahan fake controversy with stoopid ass McNabb acting like he's got something to say...Wes Welker calling Belli a bully...old team mates crying about Aaron Rogers), more injuries every day and I have to trick myself into thinking I want to watch tonight's pre-season Skins game against the Steelers.
Only thing I'm watching tonight is the Skins new additions to their secondary...I hope they stop playing as young as they are. I know Cousins will play but I wish he wouldn't...he's proven himself and should just stay healthy. For pure entertainment purposes, I'd like to see Rex Grossman aka Sex Cannon aka The Throwgasm get some snaps. Of course, it will be interesting to see what our attention loving future-of-the-franchise RGIII does on the sidelines...dude will probably dress as if he's going to play like last week...
I'm going to rely heavily on good beer and a vaporizer to make tonight's fake-game an enjoyable one.

Aaaaaaaand he just got his fucking right foot jacked up while running for a first down...in the god damn preseason.
Dammit I hate preseason shit.
EDIT: Rambo redeems himself by forcing a fumble and recovery/Kerrigan does him and causes a beastly fumble off Big Ben/Grossman pulls a standard Grossman creates a false sense of skill by playing well in preseason moments/Special teams seems to be leaving a lot to be desired.
There's a strong whiff of bullshit in the story. Hernandez wasn't close to being an "all-time great," and Ron Borges, the co-author, was a long-time sports writer for the Boston Herald with a famous grudge against Belichick.

I hope they cut Sexxxy Rexxxy and keep Pat White. Don't think that will happen, though.
Glad to see the 'Hawks were able to get through the preseason without any big set backs, unless you want to count Harvin being out. The new pass rushers they brought in over the off-season have been a bit banged up which is a bummer but if they only miss the first week it'll be fine. Bruce Irvin's suspension is foolish [of him] and will hurt the team the most I think. He's gained A LOT of weight and speed over the off-season and will be missed for 4 games. (shocking, right?; PED related?)
In other news, Snoop Lion went Beast Mode at last night's game.

As much as I hate on Grossman aka The Sex Cannon...I have to admit, he looked better than normal in pre season (eating my own words) and White doesn't seem to have the fundamental qb skills...an arm being the main one. I think we picked him up solely for the of offense to have an RG3 like stand in so they could practice that particular offense. He did his job amazingly but I don't know about taking him over Grossman...hopefully we won't have to see Grossman on the field at all so we'll never know.
My worry about White now is that a Division rival will scoop him up solely to pick his brain about our offense.
Ladies and Germs, I'd like to introduce you to the 2013 rookie defensive player of the year. I love the off season moves. I will be at the Thanksgiving game against the Steelers. Raj, let's get our bet game on.
Good lord. This is the first time in a long time that I'm embarrassed of my Steeler squad.
Cowher's team is dying off. Todd Haley is a joke. AFC North all 0-1.
Damn right, the New Orleans Sean Payton's are going to do big things this season. At least, I hope so.
Don't let Jimmy Graham slip past the 2nd round of your fantasy draft, and geaux right ahead and nab Drew Brees as a 3rd rounder(!) while you're at it.
Rob Ryan becomes our defensive coordinator along with a switch to a 3-4 set. We still lack viable pass rushers, so hopefully our revamped secondary (Keenan Lewis and Kenny Vaccaro are the news adds) can hold up better than they did last season when we stunk up the place.
I really liked Vaccaro today. he came up huge on the last play, getting a hand on the ball & then knocking gonzalez out of the picture. rob ryan passed the first test, and even though the offense was a little rusty, it still seemed promising as expected. great start to the season w/carolina & the bucs losing too.

Jay Cutler Hoping to Prove Doubters Whatever in Contract Year
His stats will improve but it's doubtful that the same will be said about his stinky in-game attitude.
I'm holding out hope for 8-8!
Love this!

James Harrison's reaction...is awesome.
There's a strong whiff of bullshit in the story. Hernandez wasn't close to being an "all-time great," and Ron Borges, the co-author, was a long-time sports writer for the Boston Herald with a famous grudge against Belichick.
Good to know. Belicheck telling Hernandez to 'get a safehouse and lay low' sounded pretty funny.
It would have been funnier if he'd said "go to the mattresses."
I hope they cut Sexxxy Rexxxy and keep Pat White. Don't think that will happen, though.

:soulstrutcomedygold:
um yeah I'm gonna go ahead and count your number 1 wideout being out as a minor setback.

Because he helped us so much last year, right? Can't miss what we never had.
Out of these three 49er WRs: Kyle Williams, Marlon Moore, or Quinton Patton. Who do you see having the bigger year? [Fantasy Football Related]
