Are You Ready for Some Football

****ing recievers... if I was Jim Mora, I'd fire all the recievers and start over. Another 5 drops to go with 7 last week and 7 the week before . Including a big time one with the Falcons down by 8 with White dropping a perfect pass at the 10 yard line on a 3rd and 10... which led to Mora dropping to his knees... as the British broadcast of the game said "Roddy White couldn't catch the bubonic plague in the 14th Century".

I know the Falcons have taken WRs with their first pick two times in the last 3 years, but if they can get Calvin Johnson, get him... I don't care.

That much is true and the West Coast offense has been accused of making some QBs look far better than they actually are (like Rich Gannon) because of its emphasis on short passes with runs after the catch and timing patterns.

Jaguars lose to Buffalo?
Steelers get shut out??
Washington beats Carolina???

These are surprising. Here's what's not:

M. Vick 9/24, 84 yds (plus of course 166 yds rushing), 0 TDs
...at home, against a mediocre-at-best defense.

I don't care how bad his receivers are. He sucks.

And if Roddy White makes that catch and they go on to win that game, with him being the only rushing threat (and he was)?

Early INT from Grossman. Not a good sign.

That pass was horribly underthrown. And if Roddy White makes the catch, they still lose. The Falcons are mentally whipped.

Bears return the favor... INT back atcha.

Here's another bizarre stat from the early games:

Arizona threw the ball 51 times for 405 yards.
They ran the ball 6 times for 17 yards.

I know Minny has a top rushing defense, but come on!
Nice game plan, Denny Green...

That would be a mistake too. I've seen Calvin Johnson twice this year, he's had a total of 3 receptions.

ACK!

It was kind of underthrown for a reason... did you not notice how far that Saints receiver was from White, when the pass hit him on the hands?

I miss Brian Finneran

What's with the refs in this Chicago-NE game ... maybe I'm being a homer, but they miss a pass interference call in the endzone and then call a pretty borderline out of bounds hit for 15 yards... ??

Originally I thought they were just 'letting them play', but that last penalty wasn't letting them play ...

In Vick's defense he did take a big hit.

All I have to say is, Catch the damn ball! Don't make your move before you have the ball secured. Dumbass!

Not that it would have mattered. But, c'mon, how can you not catch that?!

Bears had a FG attempt blocked!

Bernard Berrian FTW!

[SlowwHand]

Vick sucks as a QB. He's a veteran, not in his 1st year of starting at the next level. He sucks.

If so they made up for it on that Berrian catch...the ball was moving under his body when he came down on it.
