Do they even announce this stuff during the game?  The place I was hanging was so noisy I didn't hear any of this:

he Cowboys' win was dampened by the loss of safety Roy Williams, who left the game in the third quarter with a broken right forearm.

The Eagles only scored 7 of their 37 points after he left the game...

New England will not make the playoffs with Matt Cassell at QB.  He is brutal.

Moss is completely useless there with this reject at QB.

Bill Belichick's refusal to go out and get a QB is kind of funny

Ya, this is kind of a throwaway year for NE, methinks.  No QB can do what Brady does.

But I do think they'll retool and be back as the favorites next year.

Their days as favorites are over.

It has been 4 years since the genius won anything.  The loss of top coaches over the years, insistence on sticking with old players on defense, lack of consistency in the running game are all catching up to them.

Moss will be another year older and Brady will not be sharp next year coming off a ACL.

Simms overblew that point.

THere was only 35 seconds left.  Even if they make the FG they have to get an onsides kick and still throw a hail mary to the end zone.

Basket with 8 catches for 85 yards but wasn't needed here.

McNabb in purple would give us a legit Super Bowl shot

I agree, I wanted the Super Bowl for Moss, but they won't have a chance until they get younger on d and Tom Brady is a year removed from the injury, 2010 at the earliest.

Depending on the seriousness of the injury Brady I would expect will be back and pretty much his old self for 2009. I don't believe his injury was as massive as Daunte's, and he doesn't depend on his legs like Daunte.

Sheesh, Pats are 21-1 in their last 22 regular season games.
I'm gonna have to see some more evidence they are completely done before I throw dirt on them.
Kraft/Belichek are usually as proactive as any other club (imo), lets' see what they do.

quote:

h. What a pretty throw from JaMarcus Russell to Johnnie Lee Higgins late in the game at Buffalo, a throw that covered 84 yards and should have been the clincher for the Raiders.
i. Clutch, clutch kick by Josh Scobee, the 51-yard field goal to put the dagger in Indy, 23-21. No pressure there, Josh. Just your team's season on the line.
j. The NFC East is 10-2.
6. I think this is what I didn't like about Week 3:
a. Chicago's tight ends are killing the offense. Last week it was two fumbles by Greg Olsen. This week, a dropped pass at the Tampa one by Desmond Clark.
b. The Rams have lost three games by an average of 29 points.
c. The Saints have had two come-back-to-haunt-you losses.
d. Can the Lions keep losing decisively and convince themselves they're still just fine? How?
e. Back to the drawing board at quarterback, Bears.
f. Matt Schaub is shell-shocked, from what I can see. His line isn't doing him any favors through eight quarters.
g. The Raiders have played 83 regular-season games since going to the Super Bowl. They've won 20 of them.
h. And the Chiefs are worse.
i. Another miserable day for Derek Anderson (14-of-27, 25 yards, one touchdown, three picks), and if Brady Quinn hadn't looked so shaky in the preseason, I'm sure the Browns would be thinking of making a switch Sunday at Cincinnati.
