The Patriots and Giants will feast on him if he does not straighten his out. And that idiot need of his to throw it into quadruple coverage...UGH.

Although, Brady's playing about as good as Grossman right now. Three interceptions...?

Harrison w/ 145 yards and 2 TDs...can the media talk about him more instead of over-rated WRs like Ocho Cinco and T-Blow...?
Harrison is the best WR in the League...period.

Of course, with Manning behind center, I'm sure any receiver will look good...but, just saying that Harrison's way underappreciated and I think he would make any QB in the league look like an All-Pro.
Look at Delhomme without Smith...?

Anyone remember when Terrence Wilkins started alongside Harrison pre-Wayne days. I remember when they were looking for a 2nd WR before Wayne got drafted. Wasn't Harrison there before Peyton anyways?

3- The Bears have not proven dick all yet.
But...that being said, they are definitely better than Crotchgirl111's and Stonedsi's respective teams.
GO BEARS!

And Doom I'm pretty sure Harrison was there a year before Manning.

And Marc Colombo sucks balls (ask Yumchops). That's why it got blocked.

And if you beat the Bears next week I might root for the Giants again. If they lose I'm gonna kick Whiskers ass...

Better record maybe, but not a harder schedule

Has a game ever ended like the Cowboy-Redskin one? On the rule that a game cannot end on a defensive penalty.

Jacksonville dominated again... but, God damn I wish they didn't get that late TD. That would've been 3 shut outs in a row at home... don't know if that's ever been done.
Jacksonville has won 6 in a row at home.
During the last 3 home games, we have out scored our opponents 87-7

So, Spockman111...you still think Henry should be on the team...? Nice effort to attempt to catch that Hail Mary, hey?
#1110
That is all.
Now I'll crawl back into my hole and watch the Fins lose the rest of their games. Except for the last one, against the Colts, that is.

Anyone hear the rumor that if Dan Synder (owner of Redskins) builds a new stadium with a retractable dome on or near the current RFK stadium site (now used for Washington Nationals and DC United games) by the year 2011 the NFL would promise him 3 super bowls from 2011-2027?
Odd thing is that FedEx field is only 10 years old and cost $250M to build. There would no longer be ANY use for that stadium. Anyone else hear this or is it just a rumor that's gonna die?

Thanks gawd...Word is that Urlacher only has a foot sprain and he'll probably suit up for the Giants game.

Al Michaels and John Madden...
But, my fave before was Pat Summerall and Madden. The 90s MNF crew of Dierdorf, Michaels, and Gifford was not bad too.

Arrington's just injury prone...he was looking VERY good in the Cowboys game before he got injured. I thought maybe that game would get him rolling for the season...
And don't even try to talk to me about tough schedule's - the Giants' schedule sucks ass.

This is the draft that yielded Alexander, Urlacher, Hovan amongst others later on...

DJ Gallo's observations for the week...Great stuff!
Some excerpts:
Some excerpts:
Heard enough about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning yet? Of course you haven't. No one ever could.
And no matter how much airtime or ink is dedicated to the amazing duo -- and it's a lot -- there is no way to completely convey the perfection that is these two.
But as a service to you, I have compiled 20 Brady and Manning facts that I didn't hear mentioned in the past few days. Some of these you might already know; others might be news to you. Either way, though, I trust you will read these facts with all the respect due these two great warriors of the gridiron.
Tom Brady is so generous that he houses more than a dozen orphans free of charge deep within his cleft chin, where they subsist on protein-rich stubble and the saliva of supermodels.
Peyton Manning has such a large brain that its continued growth has grossly distorted the bone structure of his face.
Tom Brady not only has been named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" but also has been named "Man of the Year" by Goat Fancy Magazine.
Peyton Manning is so perfect that when he caused a controversy in college by mooning an athletic trainer, witnesses to the incident discovered that Manning is without an anal opening, as he has evolved to where he creates no human waste.
Tom Brady grew up in California and learned not to throw incompletions as a little boy, as the force of his passes hitting the ground caused several earthquakes.
Peyton Manning audibles at the line of scrimmage not to a play he thinks the opposition can't defend but to the exact play the defense is set up to stop, just to give himself a challenge.
Tom Brady is so perfect that his sweat smells like musk and, when bottled, sells for $130 at all major department stores. Its application also causes a person's testosterone level to rise 4,000 percent.
Peyton Manning throws such powerful and accurate passes that the Department of Defense has him on retainer should they ever need him to knock down an incoming missile with his laser-rocket arm.
Tom Brady is so great that whenever he completes a pass, the ball immediately is removed from play and helicoptered to the Hall of Fame.
Peyton Manning once played God in checkers in the end zone at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium and somehow kinged all the Creator's pieces in just a single move, forcing God to admit that Manning is His intellectual superior.
Tom Brady says he might enter politics one day, and most historians already refer to him as our greatest president.
Peyton Manning majored in speech communication at Tennessee so he could better understand and appreciate the many ways people tell him he is great.
Tom Brady was a star Little League pitcher as a child and was known to buckle hitters' knees with his devastating curveball, but mostly with his devastatingly dreamy gaze.
Peyton Manning was so smart at such a young age that he instructed the doctors and nurses working his birth to go home, then he simply crawled out of his mother and into a nearby bassinet, where he took a brief nap, then awoke 20 minutes later to watch game film.
Tom Brady is such a perfect specimen that the Secret Service guards him 24 hours a day for fear a foreign agent could swipe some of his DNA, clone him and create an army of Bradys to attack the United States.
Peyton Manning comes from such an athletic family that Manning family reunions are organized by the International Olympic Committee.
Tom Brady is so blessed that the sun shines on him 24 hours a day. Hence all the eye black.
Peyton Manning is so perfect and such an amazing athlete that he once competed in a triathlon but was disqualified for running across the water instead of swimming.
Tom Brady is so strong that when he benches, the only person who can spot him is Tom Brady.
Peyton Manning wears No. 18 because that's how many seconds it took him to create the universe.

4. Say what you will about Terrell Owens, but at least the guy has fun when he plays. He took a negative -- his propensity to nap in meetings -- and made light of it this Sunday in his touchdown celebration by "napping" on the ball. Just think how much better the NFL would be if other players had a similar sense of humor. We might see Shawne Merriman celebrate a fumble recovery by pretending to "inject" the ball into his arm. Or Chris Henry cap a touchdown by puking on the football. Or Fred Smoot follow an interception by ripping the football open at the laces, grabbing a couple of water bottles and proceeding to … well, no, props aren't allowed in NFL celebrations. But you get my point.
