Titans usually play Indy tough. I actually took the Titans to win in my pool.Quote:

Yeah, the Titans seem to be on their way up.
I wouldn't take the CLE-CIN game as an indication of offensive trends throughout the league, but damn that is a lot of scoring.
The fans at the cle/ cin game got their moneys worth. I thought most of the games yesterday were close and fun to watch. Except the pats/chargers game. Wow I thought it was going to be high scoring. It was boring. The Raiders almost handed the Broncos a opening day loss. So sad. So very sad.

Well within the rules... but kind of chickensh1t in my opinion.
Clevland surprised me. Arizona surprised me.
The best play of the day I thought was Steve Smith breaking those tackles to take it the whole way... almost Barry Sandersesque... WOW!
Bah, don't let AZ fool you. They did nothing in the second half, and then Seattle handed them the game on a silver platter.
Chargers got spanked. Hard to believe this team's roster is the same as last year. Of course their schedule is tougher this year, but their offense has just looked flat both games. Rivers looks like a green rookie all of a sudden.
And they have faced two pretty good teams right out of the starting gate...Quote:

I'll admit, when you got Westbrook--use him. Obviously McNabb couldn't do it all tonight.Quote:

Westbrook had 16 carries for almost 100 yards, Buckhalter had 1 carry. We drafted Tony Hunt to be the power back and he has not had a carry in 2 games. With the personel we have we could run the ball 30-40 times a game and be very successful. And with Mcnabbs arm, the deep playaction pass would be there more than a few times a game. It just needs to be set up.Quote:

Reid is the best coach the Eagles have had in the last 40 years, but I think he has worn out his welcome. These first 2 losses fall directly on him.
I've been watching Philly as per our discussions on McNabb.Quote:

That being said... he doesn't look like the McNabb of old to me. He has lost something... mobility wise. He seems to be getting sacked more.
Last night, he seemed to be missing a lot of open guys. Not too sure why that is.
Watching the games... I don't know how much of it is his lack of mobility compared to last year... and how much of it was things out of his control (i.e. the play calling that you guys have been discussing). But for whatever reason it is... one thing is clear... at least two games into the season he doesn't look the same. And even then... I know it's only two games in... he could throw for 4 TDs next week very easily.
Man I hate ESPN's babbling commentary during the game. Like I give a rat's *** what charles barkley has to say. I'd rather have Dennis Miller back then these clowns.
Yeah, and a big welcome to Emmitt Smith too. (lol)
I agree with the ESPN guys. But I actually like Charles Barkley... that dude is funny. I'd take him over any of those other clowns.Quote:
