1st preseason game tonight. The hall of fame game, Titans vs. Bills. 8:00 pm ET. Ah, it does my heart good to finally have the football season start.

T.O.'s debut as a Bill, and we get to have a look at the rookies, finally football is back w00t.gif

Not exactly exciting for me, seeing as I could care less for both teams, but it has lit the metaphorical fire for me. Thurs. is the game I am waiting for. Want to see my Cards back in action and would like to see what the young guys can do.

lol




Bills didn't look so good, but its just the first pre-season game, so alot of it means jack squat. But I still enjoyed it. Collinsworth isn't so bad in the booth.

A few things:

Alge Crumpler is FAT, he's always been a big guy, but he looks like a damn lineman

That Punt fake reverse was great, the Punter sold the reverse beautifully and did a good job of following his blocks and hustling downfield.

T.O. had a few catches, if he keeps his mouth shut he can give some confidence to Trent Edwards and may be able to improve his game.

I guess they really are going to let Kerry Collins pass a bit more this year, if the Passing game takes it up a notch and their Backs are as dangerous as last year, they'll have good shot to come out of the AFC. Though the defense will have to find a way to stay solid without Albert Haynesworth in the middle anymore.

It was funny to see Vince Young, the self proclaimed "Future Hall Of Famer" and "next Black quarterback to win a Superbowl" throw a pick for his first pass, you've got a way to go Vince, Don't get ahead of yourself.

That fake punt was nicely executed and the punter was pretty damn fast to avoid getting hit. And Vince..what have you done to yourself bro?? After that epic performance in the Rose Bowl you've fallen from grace. Out of that draft era with Leinhart, Bush, and Young, it looks like Jay Cutler is having the best career so far.

Yea, but theres still pre-season games to be played before I get serious about it. Also, they haven't made the first cuts yet.

Oh, and don't forget the hell Houston got when it took Mario Williams (who is a damn good lineman). Looks like they made the right call.

I still have faith in Leinart. He isn't that bad and has been improving behind Warner. We will see though.

Its being reported that hes there to play the wildcat and fight for the backup role.

I found out right as i was about to play in the final game of a madden 10 tournament i was in. I was like we got vick? RAGE! HE SUXXX0R rawr.gif

then i realised i could use him in the wildcat and i begged them to let me put him on the eagles. didnt matter because apparently we couldnt use the same team and i lossed a coin flip so i used dallas with phillys playboooks. i won 17-14 and got my copy of madden for free biggrin.gif The icing on the cake is it was a tournament for Xbox 360 and i have PS3 but still won. Everyone i beat except 2 guys claimed i was cheating.

Of all teams why Philadelphia? McNabb is doing just fine and you'd think that when they released TO they would be a bit wiser when signing guys that could potentially derail them.

they just gave mcnabb a pay raise. hes the guy. Vick gives them the best wildcat player in the nfl and a chance to really confuse defenses. hes also a much better backup than kolb, hes played in the wco already. he cant derail us.

Wow I thought only Al Davis was crazy enough to take him. It isn't really a bad choice since Vick is in top shape and just has to adjust to a new system. I don't think he'll take McNabb's spot unless some drama roles around like it usually does. He could be very versatile in the back field when using him alongside Westbrook. Imagine a flea flicker play with him and McNabb; be pretty awesome. I still like Vick and hope him all the best in his return to the league and making a comeback for both his career and image.

Kolb tweaked something in practice and I think Vick can beat out Feely for 3rd string easily.

In other news in the division, Eli Manning is now the highest paid player in the NFL.
