Running NFL Week 1 Thread

Something that occurred to me just now watching Jacksonville drive down the field on Dallas. You've got a classic dropback quarterback standing back there firing pass after pass to an athletic wide receiver converted from a college QB. But the passer is black and the ex-QB is white. The fact that this is not a big deal speaks volumes about how far we've all come -- the NFL in particular and sports in general -- in the past 20-25 years.

Just a thought.

 

The Redskins always wear white at home, except for the Marty Shottenheimer year and the throwback unis which looked like Florida State.

 

Dolphins have always worn white for games that start before 4 p.m.

 

Don't know how long he can stay upright, but Kurt Warner is a fucking stud again.

The Pack are goddamn awful.

If Mike Nugent is still employed when that plane touches down at JFK or LGA, someone should be shot.

Who bought into the Chiefs hype? I mean, really? As noted on another coach, they downgraded their line and their coach couldn't lead an NFL team to a Super Bowl in a league in which the other 31 teams were high schools. They're fucking awful. Good.

I did buy into the Lions hype. I now go bury my head in shame.

 

Devin Hester returns a punt 84 yards for a TD. Very easy looking.

He should end up tracking down every NFL punt return mark like Tiger is tracking down Jack.

 

If the Cowboys cannot rally to win this, I'm fairly certain the vultures will be hovering around Drew Bledsoe tonight and all week.

 

Considering they held the defending conference champs without a touchdown, I'd say there's no need to do that.

 

Sorry Hank I meant offensive hype.

Two field goals is not good regardless of who you face.

 

Another Drew Bledsoe special kills another Cowboys drive.

 

The Dallas O-line hasn't been great, but ANOTHER interception by Bledsoe.
Not looking good for Dallas.

 

Drew better get ready.

EDIT: Beat me to it, BYH.

 

Brett Favre came back for this? Two picks and a shutout loss on opening day?!?!?!?!
