    NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Regular Season

    Continued from: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?t=184587


    Who will be a better qb this season, Favre or Vick? Vick sucks, but Favre is old.

    Cowboys play their first game at the new stadium tonight. Parking prices alone are ridiculous.

    Four. They play the NFC West, and the AFC North. SF, StL, Cin, Cle, Sea are all potential wins, plus Was, Ari, Min, GB, Chi are all low-but-nonzero potential wins. I say they beat 3 of the first group and 1 of the second group.

    Beautiful Stadium

    The score board weighs in excess of a million pounds

    Interesting fact, punters can easily ping it, which may/may not end up a hindrance

    Sloww, I think its awesome how the Cowboys come almost through the spectators to get to the field

    My hat is off to Jerry, hes quite the ringmaster, meant in a complimentary way Sloww, he has a showpiece location, something to really be proud of.

    I think I heard them say 2012 Superbowl home???

    Imagine them being in the Superbowl at home?

    Anyhoo, you got a real fine home, although my heart still remembers this man when I was growing up...as far as I am concerned...will allways be synonymous with Mr.Cowboy....

    In his pre-season debut, Brett Favre went 1-of-4 for 4 yards, but hey, at least he wasn't intercepted!

    That bigass screen? What did they say it cost? 10 million? The stadium does look good.
    Good luck to whoever tries to outdo it.

    Per the Football Outsiders Almanac, the Lions' 2009 Mean Projection is 5.8 wins.

    On the Clock (0-3): 16%
    Loserville (4-6): 45%
    Mediocrity (7-8): 24%
    Playoff Contender (9-10): 12%
    Super Bowl Contender (11+): 3%

    I know it's only the preseason, but yesterday the Lions made the Browns look real good. They almost gave up a KR TD, but it was called back due to a hold. When they got the ball back, Stafford threw an INT, which gave the Browns a very short field and a subsequent TD. There was a Browns FG, then the Lions gave up a PR TD. Another FG and it was 20-0 in 11 minutes.

    Because only very few of you seem to be on Twitter:

    RosenhausSports = Drew Rosenhaus
    fb_outsiders = FootballOutsiders.com

    RosenhausSports "Mario Henderson has had a terrfific preseason and looks like a marquee left tackle for years to come. The Raiders have found a stud LT!"

    fb_outsiders "Yes, @RosenhausSports . I'm sure Mario Henderson will be the franchise left tackle that the Raiders and franchise wideout Javon Walker need."

    ---

    RosenhausSports "It is good to see center Justin Hartwig back from his toe injury. He is the leader of the Steelers offensive line and is irreplaceable."

    fb_outsiders "Um, @RosenhausSports , Panthers averaged 4.0 yards per carry with Hartwig in 2007 and then 4.8 yards per carry w/o him in 2008."

    good news for Edge owners, Duckett's been released

    and the bad news is, Duckett will probably end up as a vulture on some other team

    Vick or Favre ehhh. I don't know if Vick has been watching film in prison (don't think they'd let him do that). I assume he was working out, but their equipment is limited I would think.

    Favre is past his prime. I can't believe any team signed him. He can't withstand a 16 week season. He will fade as he did with the Jets.

    Seems my policy of no Donkies is paying off.

    Also of note that Cassell was injured last night.
