NFL Week 1

/sigh steelers -> new lions ? god i hope not. how long until they realize tomlin was just riding cowher's coattails?

The Steelers will never be the Lions. We've been rebuilding since the 50's and until anyone goes "defeated" I'll hear no whining. Especially from any team that's even been to the Superbowl much less won as many Superbowls as the Steelers!

I.....I..........I..........

I'm...kinda happy.....A rarity for a Bears fan.

 

[Eric Perry]

Following Pouncey showing off his "Free Hernandez" hat a few months back, I can't say I'm sad to see him down.

 

[Johno Dunn]

Barn burner in SF!

 

[dcarwin]

Barn burner in SF!

And it's final!

 

[Johno Dunn]

And it's final!

Great game! Kap's for real!

Wait, whaaa?... Nothing for the revamped Gregg Williams-designed Titans defense?

Yeah, I know... Munchack can try to give Jerry Gray the defensive credit all he wants but we know that Williams made the difference.

 

[mrpackerguy]

Brutal

 

[Darkstrike]

Eli...... I wonder how long it'll take Romo to match that effort?

 

[Darkstrike]

Someone wants to go tell Eli that the Cowboys are the ones in white.

 

[Darkstrike]

Eli...... I wonder how long it'll take Romo to match that effort?

There it is!

 

[Bipslapper]

I'm in.

Pats looked poopy but so did many teams. Loved the 49ers / Packers game.

Anxious to see the Romo self-destruction progression later in the game.

Glad football is back.

 

[Lonesomedave]

wellll......i wish i could say the Titans are back...but we all know that's not true...at least not yet...maybe, BUT....

good to hand the Steelers their first home opener loss in eons, but it's baby steps

let's see how they do against the Texans next week....that will tell us something.

i like the progress our defense has made...time will tell

Locker didn't have a great game, but did not throw any interceptions either

all in all, happy for week one....how long that will last is another story

 

[MJ5150]

The AFC North is a combined 0-4. Haha!

And my Browns are the same ones from last year despite a new owner/HC/OC/DC/coaching staff. I LOL at all the people in Cleveland who said 8-8 or better.

Browns fan here, too. That was embarrassing. Pathetic. "There's always next year." Ugh.

I've sort of felt this way as time goes on. Tomlin inherited a solid SB winning team, and has just ridden that since he got the job. Along the way, key members of that SB winning team have left and he has replaced them with big mouth trash talkers and failed to develop any talent for the most part. A few high draft picks have turned out to be good, but where is the depth? A few busts in the draft on defense for sure. Where are the quality guys? Where is the continuity and leadership in the locker room? I think bringing Foote back was him grasping at straws to get that.

Troy and Kiesel are about to retire, and I think that is when you are really going to see this team go to the dogs. I don't think Tomlin is terrible, but I don't think he is nearly as good of a coach as he looks on paper. That team coached itself for a couple years post-Cowher. I haven't even mentioned the work Lebeau did with that defense, no credit for Tomlin there.

I'm going to get this tattoo'd somewhere.

Is Tomlin in charge/have a hand in drafting?

 

[MJ5150]

A hand yes, in charge, I don't think so.
