Brady out with what looks to be a knee injury.

Tom_B · « **Reply #4244 on:** September 7, 2008, 06:51:08 pm »

Yep, Brady went down and its not exactly good news.

Still, Cassel to Moss... TD.

Fast Willie is back and then some.

And you had Morris instead, haha, I can't talk though because I am doing abysmal.

Reggie Bush is having a good game today. Payton has him starting all over the place and it seems to be working for the time being.

Just as I say that, he creates a TD reception out of nothing. What an athlete.

El Campeador · « **Reply #4249 on:** September 7, 2008, 08:51:20 pm »

Make a stand. We needed that.

We look nothing like the Game 1 team last year, and I fully admit, this is not he best NFL team you ever saw.

But 1-0 is better than 0-1.

Now on the Brady situation - I wonder if Sarah Palin can cover next week?

Tom_B · « **Reply #4250 on:** September 7, 2008, 08:53:19 pm »

From all accounts Philly have been fucking awesome today. McNabb having a career game.

Nice to get off to a win anyway, Moss is on the board and we did it without Tom. Just get well soon.

What happened to the Jags? Running game just didn't get going?

Rob K · « **Reply #4251 on:** September 7, 2008, 09:02:11 pm »

Phins 3and10 on the Jets 18. 13secs left. Be harsh on the Jets if the Phins nick it.

Nevermind, intercepted.

Me - took him last year to handcuff LT knowing he would hit FA. Turner is a good pickup in drafts this year at the right spot as they will look to establish a power running game and take the heat off Ryan.

Roderzzz - i was and still amazed you picked Chambers over Fast Wille for the flex...

You live and learn!!! I didnt expect to beat you anyway!

Annoyed to just look at the bets that i did and find my 8 team acca let down by the bloody lions.
Bastards! If i had the 8 it would have been a good few hundred.

The 7 fold came up though = £45.

Tom_B · « **Reply #4256 on:** September 7, 2008, 10:05:46 pm »

Hate the celebration penalty, it is so stupid. Its like the booking for celebrating with your own fans, but its even stricter.

daddymac · « **Reply #4257 on:** September 7, 2008, 10:09:52 pm »

completely agree

No
Fun
League

At least Chambers is justifying the decision!

rodderzzz · « **Reply #4259 on:** September 7, 2008, 10:15:35 pm »

fucked up so bad with the rb's today, last year i was really strong at rb, and weak at WR, this year i feel its the other way

ALPH1217 · « **Reply #4260 on:** September 7, 2008, 11:45:10 pm »

Anybody understand Cleveland's decision just now in kicking a field goal to narrow the gap to 28-10? Somebody's gotta explain that to me.

Given up already? Seems bizarre but they are never getting back into this anyway.

My Fleaflicker team has picked up injuries for Brady and Barber this week, fan fuckin' tastic, might top two points scorers. Literally might as well give up now.

rodderzzz · « **Reply #4262 on:** September 8, 2008, 12:12:29 am »

carolina have impressed me here. With ste smith in the team they'll give anyone a game this year

Hope its not a career ender. Definitely in the top 5 of qb's I've seen and I've been around, believe me.

Tom_B · « **Reply #4271 on:** September 8, 2008, 08:47:58 am »

Looked like it could have been a cheap shot on tom to me, and if it was i hope pollard's happy with himself. Was looking forward to this season too, fuck. Looks like i will have to back the vikings beyond the reg season, for my bets sake.

JoeTwerp · « **Reply #4272 on:** September 8, 2008, 04:33:07 pm »

For the past 7 years the only thing I have hated more than the Patriots is Tom fucking Brady. And now I am soo pissed that he is out. All the media over here are going to do is suck his dick. But I am actually more happy at the fack that the Pats are still going to run away with the division and then maybe people will start to think hey, New England have had great O-coordinators the past 7 years, and a great defense and a great defensive schemer (even though I hate his fucking guts) They also have always had good tight ends, a decent running game, the 3rd best pass catching running back in the NFL in Kevin Faulk (well not anymore but during their main run). Then people will look at that first superbowl and realize it was a total fluke that they were even there, and the next season they didn't even make the playoffs. I know Tom Brady is a good quarterback but he is way overhyped in the media and hopefully the success of the Pats this year will help put into perspective how much he was really helping

Mr. Terp, I'm pretty certain that the Pats are gonna feel the absence of Tom Brady. This may come as a big shock to you but he is their key player, mate. Anyone who leads a team to 3 Super Bowl wins is deserving of accolades. He's one of the best ever. End of.

After lurking for quite a while on this thread it's not the best start for the 49ers. They're my favorite team beacuse of Bill Walsh - coaching genius, Montana, Rice, Young, Craig, Jones et al when i first watched the NFL when it was first shown on Channel 4. After that i watched the game on and off for 24 years.

As for the scarlet red & gold's chances this season? Hmmm realistically they'll do very well to win the division yet alone sneaking one of the wildcard spots. Because the NFC West is probably the waekest division in the NFL and Seattle should win the division comfortably - with Mike Holmgren in his last season as coach. He'll want to finish his coaching career in style.

It'll be very interesting to see how the Pats cope with without Tom Brady for the rest of the season. Especially since they've only got Matt Casel as the reserve QB, no doubt that NE will be looking for an experience QB for the current season.

Looking foward to watching the NFL double bill on Channel 5 i.e. Vikings vs Packers & The Broncos vs Raiders at 1am.

Not much of a NFL fan, but watched a fair few games last year and was amazed at this Brady fella. Been looking forward to seeing him play this season, but gutted he will not be playing.

I remember the Super Bowl last year how he was so close to picking up his game enough to drive the defense back and hit some great marks.

Real shame.

MadErik · « **Reply #4277 on:** September 8, 2008, 08:56:57 pm »

Pats have confirmed that Brady will be on IR and miss the rest of the season.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Cassel can hack it. Or Chris Simms, for that matter.

Sep 2001, 0-2 Pats star QB Bledsoe goes down, unknown,untested Brady is set to start next week....finish the story.

Not to mention how freakishly talented their offense is, and the averageness of the AFC east, pats will make playoffs.
