Hey Vicenzo, just saw where your boys brought back Chadwick Elliott Pennington to start Sun. aft. Always been a big fan of Chad’s.[/quote]
wow just saw that too this morning… dunno if i agree with that move… new qb’s are gonna go through growing pains… this is def gonna affect the locker room…
^Chad is my man crush. Only jersey I actually own. Not to mention he is only one of two, the other being Brady, that could handle Moss.
yea…pennington was great when he came to miami… in the game against jets and the favre i was like damn this guy knows how to win… too bad against the ravens he crumbled… he was trying to do too much with nothing…
needless to say when he went down last season with shoulder injury i was upset… i really liked him when he was playing… hopefully he can show that he still has gas left in the tank…

Damn that didnt take long.[/quote]
I figured he was going to limp off the plane.
I can’t wait for Sunday night! The Steelers O line is decimated right now like you wouldn’t believe. They really need to run the ball this week to eat up the clock so that hippie Brady can’t get out there with his short passing game and shredd.
You other guys are gonna get sick of watching the mighty Steelers on prime time lol. Fuck their pass defence scares me though.
The NFL has got to do something about some of these game balls being so slippery. I swear on MNF most of the grabs looked like the players were struggling to hold onto the ball…I could be paranoid lol.
Also, how come so many players today don’t wear thigh pads, defenders mostly. I suspect they feel it makes them quicker but fuck it must hurt on some of those collisions.
Pretty excited for Thursday games to start, it’s like a little present at the end of the week. It doesn’t hurt that this first one is a dooooooooozy.
I’ll take the Falcons at home.
^I think Flacco has to many toys for them to not win. I look at that team top to bottom & their strong all over the field. That also includes their weakness (secondary) W/Reed back, I just don’t see a soft spot on that team.
I’m looking for the Falcons to come out on a mission, this is the time to prove to the world they’re a good team. Only one way to do it, play a complete game, which they haven’t done yet, and beat the #1 ranked team in the NFL.
Falcons are 4-0 at home and Ryan is 17-1 at home, the Ravens are 2-2 on the road but damn they’re strong. Should be one of the best games of the year so far.
i got the ravens… top to bottom ravens are solid… as long as flacco doesn’t turn over… don’t see them lose

Pass rush could be better and they need to get their heads out of their asses in the red zone. They should’ve beaten Miami by 30.
I wouldn’t be surprised with any outcome tonight. Atlanta has a good QB and the Ravens aren’t so great during night games.

Every starting OL except Pouncey has missed or will miss at least one game. Both starting OTs are on IR. Every starting DL has missed multiple games. What a mess.
Flacco hasn’t looked very good tonight.

BOOM.
Great game, I love Thursday night NFL action. Interesting how both team have heralded running games, yet both relied heavily on passing tonight.
awesome game, go falcons!
falcons looked solid which surprised me a bit esp since baltimore was coming off a dominating performance against mia… i thought the falcons might give it up in the end but they hung in there for the W…
as i stated before flacco’s struggles would be balt’s biggest problem… the drive after the 3rd falcon td was very efficient tho… if balt played like that all game it would’ve been over by halftime…IMO
What a battle last night. Falcons need to stop letting teams come back, they’ve done it several times this year but seem to somehow come back for the win. This IMO was a character win for the Falcons the kind of win that pays off big come playoff time. 7-2 best record in football…for now.
I guess being 18-1 at home does have its advantages.
Heard this morning that everyone thinks the AFC rules. But over the last 2 weeks 4 games have been played between the NFC & AFC w/the NFC winning all four. Hmmmmm
^ Well besides the Giants what other big market NFC team is doing good?
^Even the Giants aren’t all that convincing. This run of wins is against losing teams. N.O. isn’t playing bad, GB beat the Jets, last night’s game. If having to decide today the best NFC team, I’m going w/Philly.

I could be wrong but isn’t Atlanta a big market team? I know it’s not NY or Dallas but they’re aren’t exactly Jacksonville.
I dont know if you can classify the Saints as big market, I know GB is not a big market. Philly is getting up there as a bigger market. Was really talking money not so much talent. I know I am a homer but the Cowboys are Americas team not only because of fans but because of the money they bring into the NFL. They finally topped the Yankees last year as the Highest grossing sport franchise annually.
Right now the AFC’s big market teams are winning so the media portrays the AFC as being better because of how much $ they bring in. Thus the ESPN’s get more money by sucking the AFC big market cock.
