2009: NFL Week 1 game discussions

[Patspsycho]

What's going on with KC and Balt? Anyone getting that game?

Great situational awareness. He did actually learn something from Belichick.

He clearly didn't learn anything from the 07 Superbowl though.

That last (lucky) drive was the same horrible play calls.

Cowher just said in the post-game it wasn't very smart to keep going to Marshall twice in a row on that last one, but that sometimes you just get lucky like that.

Heat Evans just scored.

Heat Evans just scored.

Brees with SIX touchdowns on the day.

David Thomas with one catch for 15 yards.

Heath Evans with four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown, and zero yards rushing.

In which case you're still counting on, if your opponents score, either that they go for the 2 and fail, or that you can block an XP (which rarely happens). . . .

Snap out of it. Up by 5 with 11 seconds left you go for the play that 7 can't beat because you've already got the score 3 can't tie.

Heat Evans just scored.

Good score. Screen from about 15 yards out. 6 TDs for Brees.

Congrats to Josh McDaniels on his win.

Brees could break Brady's record with a couple more games like this.

I think that game is pretty much over. Last I checked KC fumbled with almost two min to go.

Looks like Baltimore is about to score.

Fair enough.

Still seems kinda pointless, given the odds of making the 2PC in the first place.

Only if Brees could play the Lions every week.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

But WTF was up with going for the two-point conversion?

TD made it 12-7, 5 point lead. The two point attempt was to make it a 7 point lead in case Cinn scored a TD...

 

[Patspsycho]

Fair enough.

Still seems kinda pointless, given the odds of making the 2PC in the first place.

I think McD was trying to counter the possibility of the Bengals pulling out an hail mary in which case the score would have been 14-14, forcing OT.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Good score. Screen from about 15 yards out. 6 TDs for Brees.

And they STILL have 8 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Um.. you do know they're playing the Lions?

 

[Patspsycho]

How about that? Manning loses the ball and it turns into a gain?

 

[Boston Jay]

Giants. Puke.

Buck. Projectile vomit.

I'm out til the Bears game.

 

[gomezcat]

And they STILL have 8 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Indeed. I will say this about the Lions in comparison to last year. At least they are making a fight of it.

 

[Disco Volante]

Derrick Gunn is reporting that McNabb will be out 2-4 weeks with cracked ribs.

Vick will be eligible to play again Week 3.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Um.. you do know they're playing the Lions?

Up by 18 with 2 minutes left on opponents 5 yd line...3 knees will run it out or do they run it up??????

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

The Jets winning notwithstanding, this is really the greatest day for tv ever. Week 1 football, Sox doubleheader, and a LOTR marathon on TNT. There is a God, and he loves us.

I'm rooting for the Hobbits to win in tribute to Ellis Hobbs III
