Ewok_3000 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Bengals beat the Panters 24-13. Newton didn't have a good game, and was pulled and replaced by Clausen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronson Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Terrelle Pryor signed a 4-year deal with the Raiders. I would assume he won't play sunday against New Orleans, but he definitely could play in their final pre-season game against Seattle on September 2. They probably want to get him at least a few snaps before his suspension kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here is the part where I make the case for Eli being a elite QB: He has all the tools to be an elite QB, but he needs to get the mentality that not every single pass he throws has to be a positive one. When Eli is on he is on. Hes got a great arm and is really accurate even when he throws it deep. He just needs to stop forcing plays and trying to force a football through key hold sized gaps in the coverage. We have all seen how good Eli Manning can be, his performance in the Super Bowl is a prime example of that. His numbers at this point aren't as bad as people make him out to be. He had a career high in INT's last year which wasn't all his fault. 9 of those INT's were tipped by his receivers before hand which puts him at a more manageable 16 INT's. Since Burress left he has declined a bit, but that is due to the fact that there is no veteran leader in the receiving corps and the very shifty hands of the receivers that they have. When it comes down to it there is no QB i would pick over Eli. He has all the tools of a great QB and a quality that alot of QB's don't have which is short term memory. He can throw a pic or mess up a play and just come out next drive as if nothing bad has happened. He treats high pressure situations the same as he treats a regular drive which is what i believe sets him apart from the rest. You will see over the next few years as he begins to grow with his receivers he will start shaking the criticism of the media. I mean he won the Giants a Super Bowl and took out what was suppose to be the greatest football team of all time. I can't bet against the guy at all. Top 5 QB for me.

Jerky Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 She made a great start to the block, but she just didnt follow through with it. I think once she learns to finish blocks, she'll be one of the best OLs in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVD 4:20 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ocho has also been acting a lot nicer on Twitter, since leaving the Bengals and joining the Patriots. Why you are right young Grasshopper. It's just to appease the hate he'll get for going to the Pats . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronson Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I was really impressed with the way the Raiders' offense played, especially Jason Campbell (Michael Bush as well). But Drew Brees picked apart our secondary like nobodies business. Demarcus Van Dyke (rookie CB) needs a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford is the only big question mark here. He's good, but how good? And if you have to rely on Kyle Orton at any point... you'll be weak as all hell at QB but still strong everywhere else. G'luck. Did anyone else see Arian Foster's msg to fans? It was basically about how he appreciates genuine concern from fans over his (minor) injury, but says for fantasy players who were just concerned about their team, that they are sick! As an Arian Foster owner I was like Heeeeeyyyy... I resent resemble that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewok_3000 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Jets beat the Giants 17-3. How many weeks of preseason is there to go? One Sweet. I'll have to check the schedule, and see which games are gonna be played on ESPN, as that's the only channel we get that plays NFL games. Just checked the schedule. Turns out the only game listed that I'll sit down and watch, is in week 6, between the Dolphins and the Jets. I hope ESPN gets more games than that. Because last season, ESPN here in NZ got a game on Monday (the Sunday game), Tuesday (the Monday game) and Friday (the Thursday game) all live. If you haven't seen it, here's the schedule: http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=REG#Week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBAplaya8484 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Did my second draft today as well. Tell me how the team is looking so far please QB: Ben Roethelisberger RB: Jamaal Charles RB: Frank Gore Flex: Darren McFadden WR: Dez Bryant WR: Jeremy Maclin TE: Jason Witten D: Jets K: Alex Henery Bench: Ryan Grant Chad Ochocinco Mike Tolbert Plaxico Burress CJ Spiller Robert Meechem Cam Newton It was a 10 person league but the others were dumb lol. Someone took Drew Brees with the number 2 overall pick and I was 1 pick away from landing Chris Johnson as my NUMBER 2 RUNNING BACK! AT PICK 18! I was so frustrated when the guy picked him before me! and 2 picks away from getting Mendanhall as my 2 back. But I must agree it is quite frustrating when players get picked right before your pick! -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronson Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 ^ Your running back situation isn't very good, in my opinion. The Chiefs offense has looked horrible, and this year teams will be gearing towards stopping Charles. As for Gore; he's a holdout, he's getting older, is constantly banged up, and as with Charles, will have to face defenses that will focus solely on him.
