    The injury to Russel Okung could be huge. Hopefully for them Hawks it's not serious.

    I wonder if if it's the reoccurring problem he had last season.

    Eagles beat Ravens, it's preseason so I don't realy care about the score

    Michael Oher gave up two sacks in six minutes and Flacco was getting battered through the middle also
    Oniel Cousins the second string tackle was awful at RT. Until I saw him at LT and he was even worse :eek:
    Ravens gave up six sacks and rookie QB Tyrod Taylor was running for his life the rest of the game.

    Plus:
    The second stringers OLB Kruger, DE Jones, DE McPhee and OLB Kindle had fine games and stepped up so pass rush is looking up

    Minus:
    Ravens could sign Andre Johnson or Larry Fitz and it wouldn't matter if the QB is on his back. Oniel Cousins was horrendous, one of the worst performances I've seen.

    Need OL depth, a number two receiver and a veteran backup QB.
    Tyrod Taylor will come good in time but we should go for a vet on a one year deal

    And yes, I'm probably overreacting and starting to panic after a preseason game :D

    The Eagles weren't exactly polished themselves but their D line did well with sacks and huge penetration. DRC was especially good in the secondary

    Vince Young made the play of the game with his limited snaps and Mike Kafka is a fine backup QB with a future in the league


    Just watching the 4th QRT now since I think Taylor is a huge prospect at QB, and my god the poor kid has nothing to work with. Every single snap his pocket disappears because the Tackles can't block the DE's. It's ridiculous!

    However he looked good extending the play and sitting in the pocket (when there was one) and throwing the ball.

    More games tonight.

    Gonna be watching Dolphins @ Falcons to see how much work Julio Jones and Daniel Thomas get.

    I'm going to be flicking between Steelers/Redskins and Lions/Bengals

    Two AFC North teams there

    And I'll root for the mighty John Beck, former Raven :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Matt Stafford 4/4, 2 of those to Megatron, one for a 26 yard TD. Welcome back :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Oh God, you actually feel sorry for Henne at this point. 1 pass, 1 interception. The fans will go to town on him.

    Edit: Link for Lions - Bengals http://streamsolve99.blogspot.com/2011/04/channel5.html


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Oh Jesus the Bengals are woeful already


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Redskins carved open the Steelers D and Tim Hightower running like a pro bowler as they swept down the field with ease

    Then shank a 29 yard FG wide, typical Redskins

    Some like Matt Williamson of ESPN declaring the Redskins pre season champions.
    It's not a desirable tag, remember the Lions won all their preseason games and then lost every regular season game

    But the Skins played well last night, Rex Grossman especially in the first half and Clemens did well in the second.
    Especially good was Donte Stallworth and unlike the Ravens they actually use him correctly and utilize his speed to burn down the outside

    Not a high scoring win but enjoyable to watch

    Apparently the security at Soldier Field are preventing the media taking pictures of the field. Seems the turf is still a big issue in Chicago!

    In other news the Cam Newton era begins tonight. He'll be coming on after Clausen.

    Its only an issue because of what happened last friday night. A week is a long time to prepare a pitch. From what i've seen on net the pitch is in good shape, some seams are visible but level with rest of field. In saying that who knows what may happen it during the match

    Any streams showing the Bears Bills game


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,015 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    Colt McCoy goes 5-5 for 72yds and a TD on opening drive. TD pass to Josh Cribbs.

    Can Newton looked twice the player Clausen last night - not very hard but for Clausen to throw a pick on his first down was jaw dropping and then Cam shows up for a long scoring drive. Newton has to be the starter this season...

    Really enjoyed watching the Texans come back and beat the Jets tonight.:D

    This isn't going to be pretty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Nope. Looks like it could be a blowout already.

    3 and out Bucs. Patriots Drive 65yds for a TD. in 2:08 mins!

    Hope the Bucs can get a rhythm going.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Wouldn't mind a look at Josh Johnson
    Was an excellent player in college, saw him when the Bucs played the Patriots in Wembley.
    Actually he got benched that game for Josh Freeman and the rest is history.

    Clearly not going to unseat Number Five but there were rumors he'd reunite with his college coach Harbaugh in San Francisco


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Patriots D dominating Tampa's O line. Pats everywhere in the backfield!

    2nd 3 and Out for Freeman.

    Brady getting huge time in the pocket, great protection from the O line


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    14-0 Pats.
    Ochocinco.

    Sean Jones looks lost, was missing for both TD's.

    Im afraid the Bucs look way out of their depth. Might cool some of the hype.
    Might be bedtime soon :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    21-0

    BJGE

    Depressing Fact:

    Brian Hoyer has had 1 snap and has the same amount of 1st Downs as Freeman.


    6 Penalties for the Bucs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    They have to punt again.

    Is the o line anything like it'll be in the regular season? I'm not sure who the starters are on the Bucs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Asante Samuel gambling as usual, ball thrown over him for an easy TD with Antonio Brown

    Steelers up on Eagles

    Samuel is a good player but when the gambles fail it realy stands out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,967 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I think the Pats are looking to go 23-0 this season based on how seriously they are taking preseason.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Just hand us over the Lombardi trophy now and we promise not to embarrass you all this season. Deal?

    :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Careful, you'll jinx your team with that kind of talk :eek:

    Which reminds me
    Not only do semantics matter, they also can bring a team a little luck. Back in 2000, Brian Billick, then the Ravens coach, did not want to jinx the team's chance to make it to the post-season by mentioning the words "playoffs." He substituted the word "festivus".
    Then as the team reached the Super Bowl they decided Festivus Maximus was the perfect phrase for that.

    Oh I see. Like when people were crowning you after the beat down you put on the Jets in the regular season.

    No way you guys could lose to them when it mattered a few weeks later. :pac::p

    That was a meaningless playoff game. Look at us now, we're fúcking dominating these competitive preseason games against dynastys like the Jags.

    It's a sure thing, you're blind if you cant see that.

    I wouldnt be so sure Tom! Bucs hammer ye in the second half!

    14-3! Bam! Bucs for the Superbowl!!!

    Stafford is a machine.

    Rookie Cardinals RB Ryan Williams out for the year. I had fancied him to play a significant role this season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    I can't help but analyse these injuries in terms of fantasy stock. Beanie Wells' just went through the roof. I know he was the starting RB anyway, but with Williams and Hightower gone, he's now definitely the premier back in Arizona.

    That was my first reaction too!! Jahvid Best left the Lions game last night with a suspected concussion. He is reportedly over his turf toe issue and should be a good fantasy option with the injury to Mikel LeShoure but it's hard to trust Best to stay fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    I keep on thinking that if Tyrod Taylor had 2inches more to his height he would of been a first round pic for sure.
