Texans play on ESPN Monday.

I can't wait for football.

I'm so football starved I'm looking forward to watching our 3rd string RB.

I'll be planting my butt in front of my TV for the Patriots-Jaguars tonight. I don't care about the score, and the starters will probably play just one series, but that's OK, FOOTBALL IS BACK!

Ravens @ Eagles tonight. Not looking forward to any games this week. Still lots of rust. Hopefully noone gets injured. I will be rooting for the Niner's this week though.

If I have a chance, I'll tune in to the Seattle game to catch a look at Josh Portis. Other than that, the NFL is of no interest to me for viewing.

The Niners start the Harbaugh era on Friday vs the Saints.

The last coach to win a Superbowl was George Seifert in 1995.

Since then we've had:

The Mariucci era (pretty good)
The Erickson era (what were they thinking?)
The Nolan era (disappointing and clearly in over his head)
The Singletary era (not much different from Nolan)

Other than with Erickson I was excited with each hire and thought he might be the guy to take the Niners back to the Super Bowl. I guess I'm like Charlie Brown with the football because I'm a believer in Jim Harbaugh.

I don't really care what the score is on Friday, I just want to see some signs that the offense has moved lightyears beyond what it has been in the last couple years where there was no creativity and the defense never seemed fooled.

Sports have been taking up less and less of my time and focus over the last few years but I'm really looking forward to this NFL season.

Harbaugh is good. Of course, he had one of the nation's best runningbacks followed by the nation's best QB. I'm actually surprised he didn't stick around for Luck's senior season, unless he came a year early to make sure he won the Luck lottery...

MJ5150...Holmgren doesn't seem to want to coach right now. He saying all the right things that a Pres. should say, and seems to be 100% behind Shurmur. Of course, that can change like the wind.

Chris Johnson is soon to become the highest paid running back in the NFL. I was looking forward to watching Ringer play, but I'll accept this as a consolation prize.

Pre-season f-ball starting always has me with mixed feelings. Football - YEA, but it also signals for us in da Nort country, the waning of summer, cooler nights, shorter days, the end of the growing season..........

I really love hearing the Tebow and Vince Young homers this time of year. They'z just winners is not an acceptable or logical argument to back up the point of why they should be starting somewhere. Neither is the race card (in Vince's case) or the "man of god" card in Tebow's.

He looked great tonight. I understand he wasn't playing against starters but he is a rookie. I'm impressed. Tarvaris and the starters is another matter... Okung seems to be made of brittle.

Eagles were great tonight. Vick was an assassin as usual. 2nd and 3rd string played very well. Added more run game than usual, but moved the ball down the field.

The D had 6 sacks tonight, and rushed the QB almost every play. 3 interceptions, and held them to just 2 field goals.

I think the Eagles might have a fighting chance this year.

+1

I for one am pretty sick of the "quarterback controversy" here in Denver.

The Broncos need a guy who can take care of the ball, put it where it's supposed to be the majority of the time, and someone who manages the offense.

We don't need a spectacle. We need wins via a team effort from both sides of the ball.

I'm impressed with Tebow's spirit and competitive nature. Add some maturity and experience, he could be a starter. But I don't watch football to see a quarterback light up the skies with his reckless abandon and guts all over the field in a vain OJT season. This isn't NASCAR, and I'm afraid alot of Bronco fans are just looking for the next crash and burn instead of thinking about wins.

Thank god the coaches are smarter than the fans.

But since Tebow won some games in college and he likes God, he must be the best man to lead an NFL team. That's obvious. How can you not see that?
