"Week #1 NFL Complaining Thread" |
Okay, Max, go ahead.  You could call this the NFL's Season Of The Tea Party, in that Change Is Supposedly Really Really Bad. All change. We should bring the entire sport back to the 1950s, where you could work out your players until they died and no one said a thing except 'So how are you going to spend his salary on yourself?' Plus there should be no protective rules for anyone. Or helmets. Or, when you get right down to it, that 'salary' thing is overrated... But the real question of change, according to the experts, mostly comes down to team rosters. In a league whose unofficial motto is Next Man Up, we're expected to believe that signing a few free agents and rookies without having several months to integrate them into the team, playbook, and verbal abuse structure is going to completely ruin a team's chances -- so therefore, whoever changed the least should win the most. Which if taken further should work out to 'Sign someone off the waiver wire, go on a three-game losing streak' and really sounds like the head coaches are trying a mass conspiracy to open mini-camps in February. Your average squad can't stay intact two weeks running and a typical team's condition is Stand By, We're Peeking Under The Bandages. All rosters are in continual flux, forever. Yes, touchdowns are going to be missed because the wide receiver doesn't have the running route memorized yet. They'll also be missed because the quarterback just tasted the inside of his helmet. Players need time to get used to each other -- but the normal default period seems to be under a week. And then it's Next Man Up -- or in this case, Next Season. The nature of the game is perpetual chaotic shift, and the choices are 'live with it or die from it'. Pick one.

The second one. It's designed to give opposing recievers what are known as "Harvin Migraines".

That'll last until Sunday, when Arian Foster on your FF team doesn't get his 20 projected FF points!

The fantasy football complaints might start earlier than Sunday-- I have Drew Brees in another league and he could have a disappointing day at Lambeau Field.

I think it comes back to all the points you get when your pick gets arrested, involved in a scandal, and generally misbehaves in public. Maybe Rex is just too law-abiding.

13. "RE: Peyton" |
Tough situation for the Colts, but no one can blame the schedule makers for the tough line up they have this year (tied for third toughest schedule based on last year's standings with 6 other teams at .520). Schedules don't happen by chance. You can look years down the road and know whom your team will play for 14 of the 16 games. The last two are based on the previous year's standings. Because they were a first place team last year they get two other first place teams.First you play the other 3 teams in your division twice home and away - 6 games. Then, from the other three divisions you rotate every three years. This year the Colts get the AFC North - tough luck playing the Steelers and the Ravens, but you also get Cleveland and Cincinnati. That's four more games. Next you get one division from the NFC on a four year rotation. This year it's the NFC South. Again, tough luck with the Saints and the Falcons plus the up and coming Bucs. Carolina is the only easy game within this division. Now we're up to 14 games. Finally, you pick up the team that finished in the same position in the standings from the previous year in the other two divisions in you conference - tough one with the Patriots, but not so bad with the Chiefs. Where the schedule makers do have some say is with the actual game scheduling, especially for the feature games each weekend. There could be some disappointing games this year. If anything, I'm guessing today the schedule makers would like a do over. The Colts have 5 prime time games - one Monday night game against the Bucs, three Sunday night games with the Steelers, Saints and Patriots and then a Thursday night against the Texans. I DO feel bad for the Colts and Manning. I do hope he can come back at some point, but the year looks like it could be a tough one for the Colts. Right now we're entering the fourth quarter. I'm getting to old to watch games like this at 3 in the morning. Even with an 8 point lead I'm still not sure the Packers can hold on.

You need the ones announcing the kittycat game. Although the refs called a penalty and they got it back within a few nanoseconds of praising Cam Newton he threw an interception.

34. "RE: Giants/Redskins." |
Overall, a pretty solid opener. It's tough to feel too overly proud of them since the Giants defense was ridiculously hobbled going into this game, though. The most disappointing factor was how much the Giants still managed to knock Grossman around... He was constantly under duress, despite throwing for 300+ yds. The offensive line needs a little work on their pass protection.Thought Grossman looked pretty sharp. It was a bit disappointing when he overthrew a couple of his long ones and there was one rollout where he chose to throw back into the middle of the field... But otherwise a solid game for him. I think the biggest difference in the offense this year is adding Gaffney and Hightower to the group. Gaffney gives them another reasonable target that the Giants actually have to cover (instead of just doubling Moss/Cooley like in the past), plus Anthony Armstrong and Fred Davis are legit threats as well. Hightower didn't run particularly great (especially in the second half) but he was picking up some blocks on third down and made a couple nice receptions to move the chains. Defense looked good. The coverage wasn't the best, since Nicks pretty much did whatever he wanted the whole game. It seemed like the Redskins were better off just teeing off at Eli every play. Especially in the second half, Eli's throws were pretty erratic when under pressure.

29. "Panthers/Cardinals." |
...it's almost as if no one wants Andrew Luck. Driving -- driving -- trying to tie the game -- 4th & 10 and eleven yards out from the goal line -- this day can get crazier, right...? Make that fourth and five. Arizona just provided a helpful penalty. Because, y'know, the kitchen has all this WTF piled up and we've got to get rid of it before it goes bad on Tuesday... ...Arizona takes over on their own 2-yard line. I would not bet against a fumble into the end zone right now. -- no, the Cardinals win. The universe is trying to correct itself. Now all that has to happen is for the Seahawks to not score twice and we can all relax while the Jets get blown out 58-6.

Kitty cats lost on the road to a bunch of birdies, but the Heisman trophy winners can't play NFL football why did you draft that guy noises are a lot quieter. Congrats on 400+ yards of passing in your debut game!

517 yards and 4 touchdowns, that certainly screams "nice effort" for sure.
