2011 NFL Preseason/ The Beginning

yep, but the G-men came out on top
"Woohoo!!! Our potential 3rd stringers are better than their potential 3rd stringers!!!!"
(...you should in no way infer that I am either a Jets fan [I'm NOT!], nor am I "picking" on you, just emulating the typical "fan" response to a big win in preseason...heck I've certainly been guilty of it!
Regular season has a tendency to make some of us regret our preseason enthusiasm....sadly...

The last preseason game MAY indicate Regular Season capability, but other than that PEEING IN THE WIND.
I just hope Dallas' injury bug will get off of 'em by the start of "real" football
God Bless, Ray
Just found this thread, thanks Mike.
Gard, FWIW- potential 3rd stringers can be important in the season as injuries occur, However it is only pre-season and the score is irrelevant.
I did notice your stating the saints are comfy with the underdog role "Us against the world" mantra. Worked pretty well for the Patriots vs. St. Louis in 2001, eh
?I think most teams play better when they feel disrespected, problem is many guys say they were dissed when in reality they were not and that gets old really fast.

You've stepped in it now Pete
. One piece of advice, learn quickly the "precision guided munition". Don't leave yourself open too long, and crap and fling. Crap and fling brother.Hey Gard, What do you know of Montrae Holland? He used to be a Saint and he'll be starting for Dallas, on Saturday. Apparently Dallas' line has disintegrated in practice.
God Bless, Ray

Thanks Ray! That's why we 'heads call ya Brother Ray
LeGarrette Blount is still throwing punches. This time at a teammate.
Titans RB Blount punches teammate's helmet.

I couldn't wait until we cut him, and THEN Stafon broke his ankle. Looks like we're going to be stuck with another season of thugs. I'm just about done with this team.
It made me sick. The kid showed so much heart and talent, and in one meaningless play, it was gone.
LOL! Dream on!
whoa, it's still 1993? "Get real!"
I wouldn't bet on us winning in San Diego, but I wouldn't be surprised if we beat them in Oakland.
Not good news for the Vikings......[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Being a Gator, I want Percy to do well in the NFL. I sure hope this does not put an end to his career.

He had some for of complications with the migraines and ended up passing out/collapsing.
Agreed, despite his Gator past and Viking present, he seems like a good kid, and he has a lot of potential.
I hope he recovers.
...I also liked him for this play as well...
I feel ya dude...
Seriously, Harvin is one of the few Vikings that isn't a closet Whinequeen. He's not said a single word about how "dirty" the Saints were in the NFCCG. I respect that.
I couldn't imagine living the way Harvin does - with those recurring migraines. I feel for the kid. Great football player, too

He's not made the "scumbag list" or Been involved negatively with the police for anything (that I'm aware of).
That I respect.
I've read he may have seized on the field. That's bad news if that's the case. Seizures are NOT fun.
I'd rather fistfight Gard without crutches and no way to get away than to have a seizure. SEIZURES SUCK!:scowl:
God Bless, Ray
