2008 NFL Regular Season Thread.

Antonio Cromartie is absolutely losing it. 2 PF already against Marshall and one that should've been called on the first series of the game, but wasn't.

Woooooooow. Denver looks awesome this year. I think they and Pittsburgh are the class of the AFC so far (depending on tonight's game)

[rubecube]

TD Niners!

[Bobblehead]

Was the Pass Int a good call?

[Pagal4321]

Incompetant playcalling for the SECOND week in a row. The inability to establish a passing game. I really think Brad Childress needs to go, or else at least hand over the play calling to someone with more than a pea for a brain....

I'm gonig to go cry in the corner.

It's not the playcalling it's the QB. When you have a QB who can't throw, your playbook is restricted

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything

I'm already laughing at how bad the Seahawks and Rams game that I'm going to next week is going to be.

I HATE at the end of the half or game when a defensive player is trying to delay the game by not letting the offensive guy up or doing something with the ball. I think they need to make that an automatic first down penalty to put an end to it.

HUGE half for Cutler and Marshall.

It's a mixture of both really. We have yet to see EXACTLY how Tarvaris can handle a game, and it doesn't help when your playaclling is

1st down: Run
2nd down: Run
3rd down: Pass

Had Shaincoe (who is the worst starting TE in the league) caught that ball in the endzone at the beginning of the game, it would have completely changed the outcome.

Here's a stat that boils my blood. Second half playcalling;
On 1st and 2nd down: 60% run(15 plays), 40% pass(10 plays)
On 3rd down: 85% pass (6 plays), 14% run (1 play)

Holy cow, what a sell job by Chambers on the non-catch. Unbelievable.

[Bobblehead]

My god, I'm going to need to write nasty emails to co-workers more often if I come back and see my team has taken the lead.

Patrick Willis is a stud.

[Flickered Flame]

Warner with another td pass to Boldin, thats 3 in the game for Boldin. Warner is 17/21 and 350 yards now. 31-3 Cards.

[JayP]

It's going to be hilarious to see all the idiot sportswriters try and throw the Cards in the bottom 10 of the league in their power rankings.

SI even had them behind the same Dolphins they're currently beating the snot out of.

Watching the Seahawks/49ers and seeing the Cards beat the 49ers convincingly last week (the score flattered the 49ers) it's hard to that they aren't. It's still early in the season, but that's the way it is right now.

On his 2nd TD? nah, that was a catch, remember you just need it for an instant when you are in the endzone. He was holding it with one hand as he crossed the line.

I don't know how many bronco games I've seen where they come out flying offensively, but the defence keeps other teams in the game

Seems every team is like that these days. Get out to a big lead then run 3 times and choke :P

Not enough pressure on Rivers.
