NFL Week 2 running thread ...

who scores first, Raiders or Bucs?

Given that the vast majority of Chris Simms' passes seem to wind up going backwards, I'd have to give the edge to Oakland.

OK, though Oakland hasn't scored yet, I ask a new question: Will Aaron Brooks ever score again?

The Lions need to put a tent over their circus.

What ... the roof over Ford Field doesn't count?

who scores first, Raiders or Bucs?

They both scored before the Cowardly Lions did. So they got that going for them.

Drew Brees has already fumbled TWICE in his own territory.

At the last minute, I switched from Miami to New Orleans in my suicide football pool (I can only pick a team once per season, and I figured I'd never pick the Saints again this year).

Brees just hit Henderson for a go-ahead TD with 56 seconds left in the half, so this prediction is looking better.

I'm going out on a limb here ... Detroit beats Chicago.

Roy Williams' guarantee is already toast. Bears already had the defense, but the offense might be much better than anyone thought it might be like going into the season.

The Bears could go into week three with zero points against.

 

[Starman]

Sure glad all that rough-tough emphasis on fundamentals from the heck-bent-for-leather Marinelli has paid off for the Lions. Ten (10) penalties in the first half.

And that nuclear-powered Mike Martz offense is certainly something, too. If they played for 55 more quarters, they might be able to get on thte board.

I change my mind, the GIANTS SUCK

Can't say I disagree, abbott...I thought they'd be a lot better than this. I think Tim Lewis' head is on the line the next few weeks.

Rex Grossman has four TD passes...WTF?

 

[Bubbler]

Rex Grossman has four TD passes...WTF?

Grossman is a good NFL QB if he stays healthy. Plus he's playing the Lions. I'm not surprised.

The Miami offense is AWFUL. Just felt the need to point out the obvious. 7 sacks allowed today.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

Drew Brees is putting together one helluva a ballgame for the Saints --- 25-40 for 350 yards, 2 TDs so far.

 

[Trey Beamon]

Manning hits Toomer for a second TD pass, and the Giants are within three of Philly after an AWFUL first half.
