***OFFICIAL NFL Opener Thread***

Thats what I like about the Pats, bunch of small dudes with a lot of heart. Welker, Woodhead, Branch, the lawfirm RB, and the TEs have played really great this year. They can hurt you from anywhere.

I also like Woodheads story. Wasn't invited to the combine. Waived by the Jets and the Pats have shown what kinda talent he is. Kinda reminds me of the Rudy story. He's in line for a nice fat ass contract next year I bet.

this is where your super sexy car draws a line, im a colts fan

i hate the colts!! manning should stick to oreo commercials

[Mr. Luos]

Think the Pats give him one??? They tend to be pretty stingy.

Ditto, that guy is about 5'7" with his helmet on Great story though. I like Welker a lot because he is a Tulsa guy too. I would not be the least disappointed if the Pats won it this year.

Well......well.......well, that's all I have

Gronkowski is on fire this year for the pats too!

He would only need to hold out and someone else will pay him I'm sure after the season he's had.....probably the Jets.

Singletary is out at SF......

Singletary is out at SF......

There is some big time HC jobs going to be open next year, Dallas, SF, Denver, Minn(possibly) and the NYG(I think Coughlin is gone) and possibly San Diego. Carolina will probably be open too.

Go Steelers!

Just for shits and giggles, can you imagine an NFC title game of the Eagles at the Falcons. I am sure the dome would be jacked up through the roof with Vick returning for a game like that.

They are already talking about that possibility here in Atlanta. It's very much wanted. What's annoying is hearing so many callers say they want Vick to win, and not the Falcons, not even the Eagles as a team, just 'Vick'.

I want to see the Falcons and Patriots in the Superbowl... The way both teams are playing, I think the Pats would hurt them bad. But if they could find a way to beat them, wow this city would go crazy. Like LA burning cars and looting after a Lakers title type of crazy...

I am just glad I got home in time for Saints-Falcons tonight on MNF! I agree with what Orion said, that if both teams are 'on' then it should be a close 3 or 6 point game. The last game was close of course, and both teams have gotten better since then. Hopefully the stumble against the Ravens has taken some of the momentum out of the Saints' run at the right time...

[MrMasterCraft]

never liked the saints but glad they kicked the colts ass last year. manning might as well sign with the canadien league.

superbowl highlights from last year are on espn right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know about you guys but i love watching the colts get the shit kicked out of them.

Seriously? Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, who together have won five NFL MVP awards in seven years (2003-2009; and four of which by Manning).

Post Season History. Last Meeting, January 21, 2007. Last Result, Colts 38, Patriots 34

'Nuff Said on that note...

I see the Patriots going pretty far, as the Colts are plagued by injury. Ah well, just like the Saints, there's always next year for the Colts

Colts suck balls.

[MrMasterCraft]

Colts suck balls.

I wouldn't say THAT, but they damn sure don't look like post-season material

I still love 'em

This play screams "pussy" to me. Get the fuck in the endzone.

Ha yeah it does. What a wuss move. I love the announcers going on and on about how smart it was though.

I keep hearing that crap too, smart my ass though, he could have gotten into the endzone without a problem.

I understand the argument to slide to keep the clock ticking and end the game but my gut always says score. I tend to go with my gut.

[blackSS01]

That was a very highly intelligent play! ^ Keeps the clock running, Colts will not have a problem sticking it in the endzone at that range. Why risk getting hurt. I watched that about 15 straight times and he would have been hit. Guy was gaining ground quickly, if Manning breaks a leg then the season is scrapped
