Falcons traded a bunch of picks to the Browns for Julio Jones.

So they want the Falcons to suck for better picks.

We gave them a present, actually a lot of presents. Ungrateful SOB's.

Atlanta had the 27th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft first round; that's now Cleveland's. But the Browns also received 2011 second round and fourth round picks and 2012 first and fourth round picks to clear the way for Atlanta to snag Jones, and if that sounds like a lot to pay for the right to take one player, it probably is.

Maybe they feel they got cheated? That Julio could have been theirs? He would have been a nice target for McCoy.

Well its logical for them to want you guys to suck so the presents are bottles of cognac instead of box wine
 
I am seriously going to blow a fucking gasket if the Seahawks end up getting Luck.

That means in the NFC West there will be; Bradford (awesome potential), Kolb (God reincarnate), Luck (Manning 2.0), and Alex Smith (Tim Couch).

Holy shit the 49ers will never win more than 3 games.
 
Where does the Sexy Rexy nickname come from? I always thought it was some kind of GAF inside joke, but now I've seen it on nfl.com...

besides Bradford that's pretty accurate. by the by even STL stenographers reporters are turning on Bradford. ain't just me

Bradford has a finger contusion. Given his so-so play during the preseason and the less-than-so-so play in the opener, this injury isn’t helping matters. If he can play Monday night, he will face heavy pressure behind suspect pass protection while operating without two of his top weapons.

Broncos just got man handled by the raiders, who were 2-8 last year out of the division prior to losing Asamougha, Zach Miller, and Gallery.

Fox insists he's sticking with Orton.

We get the NFC North as a cross division match up.

Doom, Lloyd, Champ, and Moreno are all going for MRIs today.

I'm sorry but its clear who the real "Suck for Luck" boss is in this league.
 
How did McNabb decline so rapidly?

He was effective one year and then turned to ass the next year. I thought it was just a product of having no weapons in Washington, but Sexy Rexy is doing okay.

Basically just hit the same wall Jake Delhomme hit, and all running backs ever, hit.
 
Testaverde always said the first thing to go is your legs, and most of your throwing power comes from your legs. McNabb never struck me as a work out warrior so I'd guess he maybe didn't do enough strength conditioning in the later part of his career.

Or maybe, as many Eagles fans will attest, he just isn't all that great and was a product of Andy Reid's system, which can make most any QB look good (see: Feeley, AJ).

McNabb wasnt a product of Reid. Reid made him better than he was no doubt but McNabb prime could go toe to toe with the best

Yeah, well that's sorta what I mean. He was a good, but not great QB, playing in a very QB-friendly system. Once he got out of that and went somewhere else, he wasn't as successful. That coupled with his declining skills have equaled an abrupt drop-off in production.
 
What we learned from week one:

We miss Gus Johnson. Marv is a legend but Gus has future legend written all over him. Oh he was in week one...

But he had to be named dropped by Coach Gollum and a bad HD Transfer. No im not talking about the face, but i wouldnt blame folk if they did.

There is a reason why NBC get hypermega ratings. Its simple. Unlike anime. Which has good shows...which nobody buys - which ESPN acts like its the genre...thats spends 15 Billion dollars - to allow Jaws to curse on air. YEAH...

Guys, im not in the pony group - but damn even the ponies would have done better than the Colts. Coldwell is the biggest hack ever. Nobody watched Wake Forest for the football. Hes part of the reason why. I couldnt stop laughing at the inept bs calls he was making.

There is a reason why NFL Today, despite CBS Sports being semi-racial and long in the tooth consering sports rights - still can be on point - Joe Flacco's feet were off balanced all of last season. ESPN with BILLIONS of dollars and 16 million reporters couldnt get it. FOX with Glazer were too busy trying to break big mega story to notice it. Hell even the rebuilt NBCTALKSports spent so hard to try and make Coach Gollum look - less ugly on HD.

All day i was looking at Flacco's feet. The dude was on point. 35 to 7 dont lie. WTF Lolesburger? Defense isnt that old, just got flat footed.

Speaking of the Eagles, they got very lucky this week. Jackson cramped up and that was it for the rams. Next week will very emotional...

(oh and can we please Joe Banner: (youtube cilp goes here about paying some WR his money now))

Which leads me to why I say that Pitts defense isnt old, the Bears are just as old and they ran all over Matty Ice (who has been compaired to Joe Cool). Diabeatus found some folk and he made some good plays. Marriage can do that to a man...

Didnt Romo get married? Oh wait...holy shit...hes STILL BAD?

Brady unmotivated due to Manning being taken out by a bad back, is still a very good QB. Why didnt Jaws curse on that 99 yard pass?

Or why ESPN has a ugly as scorekeepers gfx?

And why Gruden is such a snarky son of a bitch?

See, one thing people dont get about Cam Newton is that he was a star and he had that smile, and he had everything Tim Tebow has.

But it seems that Tim Tebow cant get no respect. Not that Ortan is any better. Hes worse.

But Cam Newton has that spark. He wants that win. You felt it when he steps under center and even I have to do a Gus Johnson impression.

Tim Tebow is no longer in Florida anymore. (and no longer under the protection of Uncle Verne and Papa Meyer who created that Dattabyo Boys Offense just for him)

This weeks pics (I was 11 and 5 last week)

I generally agree with that. Although i havent completely written him off yet.

It makes the fact that he really only had premier weapons MAYBE 3 out of his 11 seasons in Philly mind boggling.
 
Fucking love Jon Beason. His response to those who claim he rushed back from injury:

To say that I was overwhelmed by the swamp of text messages and mentions on Twitter would be an understatement. Before the game was even over, my phone literally would not stop buzzing, to the point where I just had to turn it off.

So I wanted to respond to everyone, and I decided a blog here would probably be the best way to do that.

In my opinion, there are three things that define someone’s life: spirituality, family and career. It’s amazing the amount of time we spend in our lives dedicated to our career. It’s almost like you work to live and live to work.

There’s a huge distinction between athletes and other people who are just as dedicated to their profession. People always wonder how someone could put their body through so much torture, and really, it defines you.

Steve Jobs and the Zuckermans of the world can all relate to doing more than what’s expected, or doing what the common person wouldn’t do, to be successful. Those types of people never look back, they just look forward. There’s no plateau for them. Simply put, it’s the difference between good and great.

One of my favorite quotes is from Martin Luther King, who said, “A man is not fit to live if he hasn’t found something that he’ll die for.” Obviously, it’s not on the same scale, but I think everyone should have something in their life that is vital to them.

If I had to do it all over again, and go into that game with my Achilles injury, I would. Because football defines who I am. Sometimes you have to do something that you’ve never done to get something you’ve never had. The motivating factor is simple for me. To win, and not fear failure.

These setbacks and obstacles are all a part of it. Nothing worth attaining comes easy, and I know that. I’m convinced I did everything in my power to play the game I love. That’s why today I can’t say I’m mad or upset, because I went at it with everything I had just to contribute for the team.

A lot of people say, hey, he rushed back too soon. But actually, I didn’t. I told my teammates and myself that I would only play if I could help the team. I felt ready to do that. Myself and the Panthers’ medical staff were convinced that I was healthy enough to play in the opener versus the Cardinals.

To have something so important taken away from you is a tough pill to swallow. But all I can do now is focus on the future, have the surgery, rehab and come back with a vengeance. That’s my goal and that’s all I have to hang my hat on now.

The goal will never change. I’m still focused on winning a Super Bowl, being the best player I can be and leaving my mark on the game as a guy who never quit.

Though I will be out of sight and out of mind for a long time, know that I’m working extremely hard to not just be back, but to come back better than ever.

I just want to thank the fans for their support and ask that you continue to stand by the Panthers as we build something special here in Charlotte.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about Bradford either :\

For the record I'm just telling the truth. I'll stick with the Rams through a tough season again.
 
Bills placed Marcus Easley on IR. Dude came down with some mysterious illness, Gailey won't comment on it out of respect for Easley, and now he's on IR.

Two years in a row he ends up on IR, guy has a lot of talent, and was going to be used a lot this year. Everyone on the squad had trouble defending him, shame really. It's probably a wrap for him with the org.

Guess Scott Chandler well get flexed wide a lot more now.

Edit: It's a heart ailment according to the Buffalo News. Shame, hope he gets better and is able to play again.

All this means is that you'd better win your Super Bowl THIS year while the Seahawks are giving games away with Tarvaris Jackson and Bradford is still playing the role of "Captain Checkdown's Little Brother".

i dont see why everybody is turning on bradford after one game against a tough defense. bradfords passing numbers were better than vicks, and if kendricks had caught that TD pass bradford would have posted a 100+ rating. it wasnt really that bad of a game all things considered.

i know he has a long way to go, but i think he will do it.
 
I'm not a fan of everyone assuming the Steelers will destroy the Hawks. In fact, if they don't absolutely kill them i'm going to assume it's gonna be another 8-8 season at best.

Maybe you're right. I need to see some strides in the right direction this year. Can't really determine much after one week.

Mcnabb is a really good QB, but he is definitely a product of Reid's system. If you swap Mcnabb for Brady do you really think the Pats would still have 3 SBs and the Eagles none? Mcnabb has the same problem that Vick had early on, his athletic abillity covered up a bunch of things, so he never had to be the guy that was first in and last out. He never had to be in the gym everyday. I really think Mcnabb could have been one of the all time greats if he had the desire that a Manning or Brady have, but it is to late now.

i have a feeling bradford is going to shine this week on MNF. we are a much better team than what the final score showed sunday, it just seemed like everything that could go wrong did.

sam will never develop past a dink&dunker until hes confident in the receivers, and i think theyll improve as the year goes on. mcdaniels will scheme up a lot of stuff too, just like martz used to. just gotta give bradford a chance to get comfortable and confident. dude already has an awesome play fake that will come in handy on playactions.
