Jacksonville looks tough. They have a very physical D line. Pittsburgh will have their hands full. We need good O line play and control of the ball. Would love to sneak out of Jville with a win as we face the Bengals the next week. :eek:

They made Brooks take 5 step drops instead of 3 and refused to use a shot gun formation, resulting in 9 sacks while waiting for the receivers to run long routes instead of shorter ones. I was at the game last night and left after the 3rd quarter in total and utter disgust.

Oh and one more thing: if you don't have Sunday ticket you guys are missing out big-time. That thing rox! And no I don't work for directv, not that I'd benefit from this plug even if I did.

I hope they give Walter a whole week of 1st team snaps, but it won't happen. I also think Walsh is a major problem. But they are not going to give up the longer pass. They need to keep more blockers and let the speedsters seperate. They need a tight end and a back to stay and block. Gallery is a bust up to this point. Hopefully he will improve. But he needs help. Use the pass to open up the run. Hire another coordinater. Use Porter. Stop penalties. Protect the quarterback. But I am dreaming. I will no more on sunday. They might step it up after getting trashed on monday night.

ps I'm in Concord too Boneycat.

I think NFK stadiums range roughly from 60,000 to 90,000. Some colleges have football stadiums which hold over 100,000.

As far as the Packers go, it's is best that you don't know about them. They are looking like one of the worst teams in the league. Luckily for them they don't have to worry about relegation.

the only person that qualifies as "romo" is Bill Romonowski...so im wondering who this other "romo" is??
as for NFL stadum size I believe they range from 60,000 to 85,000 or so...I know Denver holds 76,500.
As of week one I saw that the Cowboys, Ravens, and Jags have some very solid teams...I'm sure theres more just didnt pay that much attention.

No kidding, geez, it's only been one game and the media here in Dallas wants Bledsoe out of there.

You can't put too much stock into one game. Heck, I love that the Ravens crushed the Bucs this past weekend, but a few years ago, right after New England had released Lawyer Milloy and the Bills picked him up, Buffalo annihilated New England in the opening game of the season (I think it may have been the same score, or maybe worse).

How did that season turn out? I don't think Buffalo made the playoffs, but I distinctly remember New England beat them on the last game of the regular season, just as badly as the Bills had beat them on the first, and then went on to win the Super Bowl and ended up rolling off 21 straight wins.

Heh romo is some clown sports announcer (from ESPN I think), the one that got punched out about 5 years or so ago for pissing off a player.

Exactly... opening day is always crazy, you can't write off any team, except the Packers, and Raiders.

Bledsoe has a history of failing. He may throw 300 yards, but he always gives up the picks. Tony Romo had a great pre-season (yea I know), which is what's fresh in everyone's mind. Same thing in Oakland: Brooks getting the boot for the young Walters.

True, Bledsoe has a history, but his main problem in Dallas is lack of pass protection plus his stone feet. Many people here that want Romo to start openly admit that they think Bledsoe is a better quarterback, but Romo is more mobile and thus might have a better season.

Any team TO is on, can go to hell!

I hate TO, he's a great player no freaking doubt. But I can't stand selfish pricks that believe most of the world revolves around him.

Yea everyone is jumping to conclusions after the 1st game, give it some time. What annoys me is that everyone is praising the eagles after they worked the texans....they make dante stallworth out to be the 2nd coming of TO or something. I really hope the giants stomp them when they go to philly on sunday.

His main problem is his throwing picks. He had great protection in NE.

I meant now, relative to Romo. Nobody around here thinks Romo is better overall, and most admit that 9 times out of 10 they would take Bledsoe, but they think Romo's a better fit on this team in its current state.

Okay, so I'd like to hear some predictions heading into this weekend. Here's mine.

I had thought to err towards the conservative and predict a close game with the Cards, but that's just not how I see the game. AZ has improved a little bit every year, and I won't deny they have some exciting players.

But the Hawks are like 21-3 at home in the last three years. And SA runs for about 150 yards/ game against them. AZ could really prove something by beating them (as opposed to SF), but it's not gonna happen this year. And I don't care how bad Seattle played last week, you're not going to see that team again anytime soon. :) Besides, this is a home opener against a division foe.

Hawks 28-10.

Any Dallas fan who thinks that "Romo" is the answer over Bledsoe is fooling themselves.

Besides the only Romo I know is the jucier who is squalling on 60 minutes this week, which I presume is over how he screwed his life up with roids.

Since Trent Green isnt playing for the Chiefs I believe this should be an easy win for the Broncos, even after last weeks patheticness. If the defense can score a few points for the Broncs they should no doubt win.
Broncos over Chiefs 23-13

Another non NFL related post, but did you guys realize that Michigan has the #1 win percentage all time in college football, and Notre Dame is #2, but if ND wins today they will overtake Michigan? How weird is it that after all these years, and many hundreds of games, the all time win percentage leader would come down to a game against 1 and 2.

Of course, it could all change in a week or two again, no matter who wins this one, but it's still pretty weird.

I don't think the chiefs will even score 13. More like 6.

ND is getting wooooped...

Im watching it on my dvr, so no one tell me what the outcome is.

me and drew bledsoe are the same age.God I have stone legs too.Its harder to get out of bed when you get older.30 and over is too old to play in the nfl nowadays.

Is it just me, or are there a lot more teams wearing white at home this year?
