NFL Football 2010

[Bahku]

Wow ... almost a quick six on that return ... Arenas is so explosive and fast ... love that kid!

[Witch-King]

Jets offense looked pathetic tonight. Sanchez was awful.

Now they're 0-1 and facing a retooled Patriots team next week.  Good luck with that. 

Talk is cheap.

So y'all think the Patriots will get back on track early this season? Last year they struggled most of the regular season after Brady was injured the year before and we all know what happened the year b4 that in the 2008 Superbowl.

Man is it raining @ Arrowhead Stadium; it looks like 'Afro-Thunder' out there, and I'm not talkin' 'bout Kevin Durant.

Great play by Jammer ... Cassel looking like a new guy in KC - ya think Charlie's got anything to do with it?

Too early to tell.  On paper, their schedule is pretty brutal and the defense is pretty young.   My expectations are a bit more subdued but I was pretty happy with what I saw yesterday in all 3 aspects of the game.  Still too early to get real high (or low) on this team.

[Bahku]

Chiefs defense is on fire ... Rivers is getting no time to throw.

[Bahku]

KC is just a blast to watch tonight ... these rookie punt-returners are having one heckuva night ... love it!! Reminds me of my Varsity team at NYA ... we were unbeatable in the rain!

The Chargers don't look good.

[Bahku]

I don't agree with how these commentators are pumping up Rivers ... I think he makes some horrible choices under pressure. He could have easily run that last one in himself ... there was NOBODY between him and the goal line, yet he throws up a horrible lob pass into nowhere ... and that last play the receiver was wide open ... terrible choke! Tough guy with some amazing skills, but his head gets the best of him, aka Romo.

I don't think Rivers would have made it into the end zone running on that last play.

Be a glass half full guy Faf. The Chiefs looked very good.

Phillip Rivers looks to be missing Vincent Jackson bad. After the first drive in which the Chiefs got a heavy dose of Gates, the Chiefs blanketed him. They were jamming him with two guys at the line. They were also blitzing heavily. For most of the game the receivers were left in single coverage. Nanee made some big plays but every time the bolts got in the red zone they stalled. If Jackson or another big receiver was there they can't give Gates so much attention. If they can't bring Jackson back I don't see them being very good this year.

Why they don't pay Jackson is beyond me. His current contract is 600k which is peanuts for a player of his caliber. He should be holding out.

I don't think the Chiefs looked that good at all. They didn't sustain drives. They scored one TD because of their offense (on one big play) and two TDs because of their special teams or short field. (one return and one turnover)

Defensively they looked good, but not great. Especially when you consider the Chargers weren't able to run the ball effectively. (they were a terrible rushing team last year too)

The Chiefs looked like a 6-10 or 7-9 team last night, which isn't awful but the Chargers were 13-3 last year. They should be able to perform better than that against an inferior team.

It's all on the G.M. AJ Smith.  The guy loves to try and flex his muscle and is a bit of an egomaniac.  He has a history of power struggles in San Diego.

This Charger team has a history of starting slow.



It also has a history of watching their kicker choking in the playoffs.

I know Rivers still has quite the long career ahead of him but I think this Chargers team missed their window to capitalize and win it all.  Still a playoff team but not sure they can get past some of the AFC's elite.
