very different play style now i dunno its something that i cant used to

Yumcha

But, he still played like the Peyton we all know.

Nice win by the Broncos.

Scottman111

Broncos are very scary now. Nice pick up of Tracy Porter, not to mention that other FA signing


I bet the old refs are back next week. The coaches/owners will be giving Goodell non-stop hell this week.

And I've always thought Jim Harbaugh was a little Weird guy

no he's just a good coach

Scottman111

Never said anything about his coaching

Costco

I've been living under a rock.

Apparently the reason for some bad calls - I haven't watched much if at all of other games this week - is because the NFL referees are doing a lockout/strike? Makes sense.

Never Summer

I had to be at work at 6:30AM and didn't leave until 5:30PM, get home intent on watching the Broncos game and fall asleep as soon as I sit down...

Hope Manning played well, winning is winning I suppose.

is300eater

let's just say he did better than the guy that replaced him in Indy...

but FWIW... Andrew Luck's stats today was near identical to Manning's stats in his first game/NFL debut.

Glad the Fins haven't missed a step.

Fun game to watch last night. Having trouble getting interested in watching either game tonight though.

49ers vs Packers - wow. The game wasn't as close as the score indicated.....I think those new weapons might help Alex Smith out.

That Packers defense is still broken - that secondary sucks at tackling still

khannie112

I love his intensity - but he is going to give himself a heart attack over a holding penalty one of these days....

dom

Are the Niners finally going to start getting some respect? People still claiming they'll be coming back down to earth. A team that plays defense like that, doesn't turn the ball over and rushes the ball like they do will be tough to beat, end of story. Now that they may have a few more weapons on offense I don't see that changing. As much as I'd like to start seeing Alex smith take more chances, what they're doing works, why change anything.

for a team thats so balance from offense to defence i dont see y they cant be a superbowl contender ppl should give them credit for what they have become that is a elite team and fuuuu to whoever said Niners cant hold down packers offense

I believe that they're the real deal this year, they look really tough

I was saying this the whole game

Yumcha

I think they are a good team. Top 3 in the NFC for sure.

Doom878

The NFC super powers went down/had problems this week except SF. Giants lost, Saints lost, Atlanta was tied with weak KC as late as the 3rd. ESPN just needs to anoint them champs at least this week.

Yumcha

But, let's maintain some perspective...it's Week 1. Alex Smith outplayed Rodgers...which was very surprising. Can Smith maintain his high-level of play?

svtmike

You must mean the part where Jay Cutler was channeling Rex Grossman.

After 5+ years of investigation and you think they'll magically find something now?
Remember these accusations are from around 06-07

He never had any, that's the joke about the whole suspension circus ring.

dom

See that's just it. He passed for 21x yards. He didn't light the place on fire, never does. Harbaugh will never allow him to it seems. When they have a 3rd and more than 10 yards, they run the ball. They don't let the opportunity for those kinds of mistakes to be a factor. Smith played like he allows does, turnover free, efficient football. What exactly is there to maintain? and if that's what qualifies as high play then he's been doing that for over a season already.

And its not like Rodgers played terribly. SF made the big plays on defense when they had to.

This is why I don't see this team "coming back down to earth". Unless their defense and running game go south of course.

Yumcha

Well, to me, high-level play is turnover-free football. And so, Smith was great. I don't care about yardage per se and if Jimbo likes to run the ball on 3rd and long, that's fine too.

I think the 9ers have been turnover free for what, forever?

97BlackAckCL

The 9ers D is the heart and soul of that team, Smith is decent, but that D is tremendous

Scottman111

Better hope the injury bug doesn't bite

Ravens looking good with an early start

Yumcha

Wow, the Bengirls got slapped up and down the football field today.

Scottman111

Glad I missed every bit of the game because of softball tonight

I'm expecting a sophomore slump this year after our surprise playoff run last year. We have to be one of the youngest teams in the league, especially on offense.

Yumcha

Man, the Bolts/Raiders tilt is painful to watch.

Gfaze

at the Raiders. Their receivers can't catch anything.

DaChef320

iTrader: (1)

man this is probably the ugliest game i ever seen on a MNF wtf is wrong with the Raiders and their special team

is300eater

started when their long snapper got hurt, the replacement hadn't done a long snap since high school

Gfaze

Nobody on that entire coaching staff thought to have a back up long snapper?!? Maybe practice a few reps after every practice?

Costco

Raiders

I was actually in Oakland today, only caught the first half on TV. There were more people cheering against them than for them

Mizouse

maybe they shouldnt have canned that coach from last year?


i dont really follow football so im talking out of my ass

Costco

Yup. Not much chance for continuity or to build upon success when you keep changing coaches. But Hue Jackson (their previous coach) went off on his team last year after an important loss.... doesn't look good as a head coach.

I've said it before, no way they'd win another SB as long as Al Davis was in charge, no offense to him intended. He is an NFL legend but he had his hand in too many things all at once. Jackson was a remnant from the Al Davis era, and they might suffer in the meantime but the Raiders actually have a fighting chance now
