They would never actually let him play, right? And now here he is as our starting QB.

RABid Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I don't get the whole Dallas issue and the need of the press to keep pushing. Of course you don't start a receiver that has not practiced with the QB. Too many timing issues with all those pass plays. Robert This post edited for speling.

RABid Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Looks like Cincinnati might have a good season after all, if the players can stay out of jail.

I do agree he can play but he needs to cut down on the mistakes. The no cause fumble in the first quarter seemed to turn the tide and give cincy momentum. Palmer looked better than I would have expected. Is Cincy this good or Green Bay that bad?

meccajay Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, looks like I was wrong about Palmer, and I'm glad I was. They looked nasty last night. Palmer to "Who's ya mamma" is gonna be one for the record books by years end. Me thinks there's something sinister and genius to all the Chad Johnson hype and the attention it causes amoung the other teams defense's. TROLL . . . ish.

SilverDragonSoun Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I had an opportunity to go to the Cardinals/Broncos game Thursday night as I was invited on Monday afternoon, I told him I would like to go but I get back to him in the early evening to let him know for sure. About 1/2 later my friend calls me and invites to the Arizona State/Northern Arizona game on Thursday night at the same time. I told him I would get back to him in the early evening. So what am I going to do? Neither. I have a class I forgot starts this Thursday and goes until November. That means I will also miss the opening Thursday night game Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive - Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for you west coasters, as it feels like an out of body experience to watch an NFL game at 10am on a Sunday. *yikes* For me, there's a (EST)Sunday ritual that involves some eggy breakfast with a scan of the sunday paper, the sports reporters, then a quick nap followed by the last 30 mins of NFL Countdown..then football!

I see where you're coming from, but I actually feel the opposite. I love rolling out of bed on a Sunday, getting some coffee in me, and immediately watching the kickoff. Of course, since I have a) a seven-year-old who often wants to do other things on Sunday mornings, and b) a business that doesn't care whether it's a weekend or not, I still consider it a luxury to be able to watch a full football game at any day or time. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trill Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Originally posted by kad: Carson is BACK baby! WHO DEY!!! Amen Brother Kad ,Can a brother get a WHO DEY !!! As exciting as it is to have Carson back. The defense is starting to take on the look of the old Marvin Ravens. I feel sorry for any opposing lineman going up against Big Sam Adams. The big fella was in the backfield on his first step more than once. 360 lbs of run stoppage and attitude. The other exciting thing is how deep the Bengals are all over position wise. Its a long season and injuries can kill a teams chances The last thing I wanted to see was Steve Mcnair back in the division with the Ravens. Its going to be a war within the division with all 4 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who grew up on the East Coast, let me just say that the West Coast sports schedule kicks the crap out of the East coast thing. You wake up...you flip on the TV and watch the NFL Today while you're having a leisurely breakfast...watch the 10:00 and 1:00 games, snacking away....have an early dinner, and sit down to watch the evening game, which is over weeeeeellllll before you want to go to bed. It just RuLeZ. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily. Ive only been a visitor out west once during footall season, and it was weird to me. I bet a lot of that probably stems from how weird live TV in general feels when you visit the west and don't have time to get used to the difference. TROLL . . . ish.

Here's the best part....you know that bit where you East Coast guys sometimes have to stay up 'til 12;30 or 1 AM to watch the end of a reeeeally close, reeeeaaallly exciting game, and then when it ends you're just way too jazzed to sleep? You know how it feels the next day when you have to get up early and didn't get anywhere near enough sleep?

SilverDragonSoun Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I visited Florida one year during the season and I hated having the games on so late. I hated having to wait for football to start. Here on the west coast thew whole day is filled with football, then when it ends it's time for I'm used to getting up and casually eating something and watching the game. Then eating lunch and watching the late games. The evening games are at night during dinner. I do think however that the whole football during dinner thing has a strong correlation with the divorce rate on the west coast Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive - Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the final score of those games until the Early Show. MNF games are scheduled to start at 8:30 pm EST. Yeah! In PST, the kids will just be getting home from school, huh?

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Originally posted by ProfD: MNF games are scheduled to start at 8:30 pm EST. Yeah! It actually makes for a kind of cool social scene for the office-bound folks who are football fans. You leave work on Monday and immediately truck over to a local sports bar with your buddies. Why bother going home? The only caveat is that if something comes up at the office and you have to work late, you tend to miss the first quarter. However, since I now work from my home, these issues are less important to me.

MidLifeCrisis Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is anyone going to set up a Pick-Em pool for this season? Last year was great fun. I think Debowsa set it up last year.

SilverDragonSoun Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think a pickem pool is a great idea. Count me in. I was also considering doing one for some friends and the guys in my fantasy league as they expressed interest. Personally I think it would be cool to have one with the keyboard forum guys.
