Walter Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Tom Brady looks like he really wants to get the 4th ring. That was quite a performance. It's amazing how cool and calm he is in the pocket. His throws are well timed and on the money. That's when he has time to pick the secondary apart. See what he does when he has a defense that can defend the pass AND blitz the qb. He is a great one, no doubt about it, but ever since his injury he has been easier to rattle under pressure. IMO. Again, it was the first week and it was the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Chad Henne threw for over 400 yards himself. That makes three quarterbacks in week one who threw for over 400. Another nine threw for over 300 and then there's Brady............. Pass defense doesn't exist in the NFL anymore. The "Rules Committee" did a fine job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjin-san Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 hi all, Again, it was the first week and it was the Dolphins. Who last year had the 7th best overall defense in the NFL,... KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Actually the had the sixth, statistically speaking, last year - and I emphasize last year. They also had a -12 turnover ratio, so they don't pressure the qb well and don't create turnovers - which will allow a precession passer like Tom Brady to pick them apart. Wait until they play a team with an aggressive defense....but then again they did last year in the playoffs along with the year before that as well. Football, gotta love that it's back on!!

Strider Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Okay, I woke up this morning and found out it wasn't a dream...the Raiders ACTUALLY did win last night! Their first opening day victory in 9 freaking years! Thanks to the Denver air, Seabass tied the record for longest field goal with a 63-yarder right before halftime, and Shane Lechler set a Raider record for longest punt with a 77-yarder. Still, it was against Denver, not exactly a defensive powerhouse. Our QB certainly didn't set the world on fire with a 5-12, 105 yards passing performance. If it wasn't for our running game and Seabass, the Raiders would have been in a world of hurt. But a win's a win, especially on the road against a division opponent. Now, we go to Buffalo to see which team is for real(Buffalo surprisingly STOMPING Kansas City IN KC, no less)...too bad silvermedalist isn't here anymore. Could've had some fun with our teams going at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjin-san Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi Walter,all, Actually the had the sixth, statistically speaking, last year - and I emphasize last year. They also had a -12 turnover ratio, so they don't pressure the qb well and don't create turnovers - which will allow a precession passer like Tom Brady to pick them apart. Wait until they play a team with an aggressive defense....but then again they did last year in the playoffs along with the year before that as well. Yep,maybe I should not mention stats! The Bolts had the #1 D last year and didn't make the playoffs,...! Brady,picked them apart because they ran a hurry-up offense,....no subs,no time.

Walter Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Props to the "Hoodie" for putting together such a good game plan! Maybe that'll pay dividends down the road..... I know he doesn't prep his teams for Sept - Dec, but for Jan. That's the forward thinking that makes a champ. We'll see if they have the talent to execute though....

ledzepfvr Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Wow! You mean I'm NOT alone? There actually is another Raider fan here? The hubby is a big Raider fan, and watching the game as we speak. Beating Buffalo 14-0 in the 2nd quarter. I guess that makes me a Raider fan, but it depends on who they are playing. There are other teams I would rather root for at times rather than the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Damn network contracts. 14 seconds left in the game. Raiders ahead but Buffalo breathiing down their necks threatening a touchdown for the lead and it cuts to the next game, where all they do is pre-game jaw-jacking. Missed the ending and Buffalo ended up winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Arrgggghhh...Raiders choke in the end. After making the yardsale rounds early this morning, hit the Barney's Beanery on the Santa Monica Promenade to catch the second half of all the morning games. They have satellite so they have all the games showing at once. Saw Saints beat Chicago, Detroit pulverize KC, Cleveland shock Indy(ok, Manning is out, but still, the Colts should not be losing to the Browns), as well as the Raiders choke. Gonna be a long up and down season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 WAY TO GO COWBOYS!!!!! Nice comeback after a horrible loss last week. Plus my boy, Jesse Holley, made the game winning catch! Bring on the Deadskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyGun Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Romo really needed that comeback game, after last week - he is a pretty good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Romo did that with a busted rib. That's impressive as hell really. The Raiders/Bills game was the best game of the day. I'm old enough to remember the AFL and these two teams played old school AFL football. Great great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
