Hester rocks! That guy is AMAZING. The only other guy I remember being like him was Brian Mitchell who used to play for the Redskins. You just had a feeling that any kick could go all the way.

That first kick to Hester was crazy. He just has a knack for making things happen. There were people flying all over the field and yet he still got 30 yards.

And the great thing about a guy like that is that if you avoid him, you have to kick it out of bound or kick it short so the Bears still get great field position!

Bear's D looking solid so far..And the penalty on Urlacher was cheaaaap. He barely put his hands on Manning..

totally agree. bears D isn't doing terrible considering its the colts. Although manning hasn't really gotten in a groove yet. Oh hope they get hester involved in the offense.
 
Okay, I'm getting pissed. I don't know how many interceptions I've seen dropped today... at least 10. After every muff the defender grabs their head and jumps around.

This isn't college. This is pro. CATCH THE DAMNED BALL!

Look at last year's Super Bowl. Had that defender CAUGHT THE DAMNED BALL the Patriots would have had a perfect season and we wouldn't be watching Oreo ads with two Manning brothers and two Williams sisters. :mad:

There's a reason they play defensive back and not wide receiver.

That's an old school excuse. Neon Dion Sanders re-wrote that rule. There is more to being a receiver than being able to catch the ball. And there is more to being a back or safety than tackling someone.
 
There are 8 minutes left in the Colt and Bears game and the Colts are down 16 points I think (the strip at the bottom of the screen just died!).

Should this hold up, wow, what an opening weekend!

The Colts lose, the Chargers lose, Brady's out, Titens, Falcons and Bills win. The Eagles look great.

This might just be one of those seasons like the NCAA had last year!

WOW!! What an end to the Charger's/Panter's game :eek: Panthers with the game winning TD as time expires..

Wow -- I finally got to watch the game on TiVo. I thought it was over when Delhomme threw that short pass with 6 seconds left. Somehow they got the time out and squeaked through with the win.

They were lucky to get the win after dominating the whole game and nearly blowing it at the end.
 
My Saints look........ok. Reggie had a great game.

Poor Brady, the NFL won't be as fun to watch without him this season. :(

What a weird week one........

You never know. Guys like Rex Grossman have made it to the Superbowl. The Patriots still have a great team, and I think Cassel is going to surprise some people. The Pats could still go 10-6 and win the AFC East.

You don't think the NY Bretts will take the east now.
 
Brady may be out for the season, which is probably the best thing to happen to the NFL. Personally I'm tired of Tom Brady. Everybody loves him. We need someone else to go to the Super Bowl. To hell with the Patriots. I'm tired of hearing about the Patriots. They can only win the Super Bowl by three points, or lose by three (Super Bowl XLII), thirty-five (Super Bowl XX), or however much they lost to the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI.

The Atlanta Falcons won! Go Falcons!

Sure,they and Buffalo both have a legit shot at it..One this thing will do,is shake up the Pat's fan base and get rid of the obnoxious pink hats,wine and cheese and Buffy/Muffy crowd that's been taking over Gillette in recent years.

Brady just got put on IR..Done for the year..
 
NFL Network is reporting that Tom Brady is on injured reserve out for the season.
All of the speculation regarding the severity of Tom Brady’s left knee injury ended on Monday, when the New England Patriots placed him on the injured reserve. The move effectively ends Brady’s 2008 season, confirming what was widely reported on Sunday.
The Patriots released a statement saying Brady’s injury would require surgery, but didn’t confirm the specifics of the type of injury he suffered.
“That’s really about all we have at this point,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said in a Monday news conference. “Of course we feel badly for tom about the injury, you hate to see anyone go down. Nobody works harder than Tom. .. It’s a tough setback for him.”
Belichick went on to dispute reports that the Patriots had worked out several quarterbacks, saying the team had only fielded calls.
