NFL 2008-09 Season

Joe Flacco just came into the gamefor the Ravens and turned the ball over on his second play.

Unfortunatley I don't think the Raven's think much of Troy :( ....

Not a good start for Flacco, but I'm sure it will get better.

Wouldn't you think that seeing the NFL preseason is getting into full gear tonight , that the NFL network would have a game live, or at least be covering the games more vs the Farve fiasco.

Patriots rookie QB, Kevin O'Connell has been very impressive. He could work his way up to #2 on the depth chart, as both Matt Cassell and Matt Gutierrez looked awful.


Meanwhile, Lamont Jordan, who the Pats picked up off the waiver wire, looked very impressive tonight. It's Ravens, 16-15 with 6 minutes remaining.

LMAO!!!! :D Seriously though, I think Sabres might be on to something, picking the Lions to win the NFC North. I believe the Vikings ultimately will, BUT I think the Lions will be right there with them.

I was actually there last night, and you may have seen me. I was in the first row behind the Giants bench by the Lions helmet field cart. I swore I'd never attend another game till they became winners again, but my brother called last minute, with the closest seats to the field I've ever sat in. Freebies! The big treat was taking my 3yr. old son to his first ever professional sporting event. He's still talking about shaking hands with Eli Manning this morning. (Even though he doesn't have clue who he is.)

OK, nice that they won, but like Jimbo says, lets see when they count. Still no running game, but the team played with some urgency and zeal. Biggest impression for me , being this close to field, was not how big these guys are, (they seem bigger on TV oddly enough), but how fast the players really are. It's like sitting near the ice at a hockey game. These guys really fly. Calvin Johnson has to be among the fastest players I've ever seen. TV and sitting mid- bowl don't do justice to the speed of these guys at all. Really cool being able to hear the coaches talking to their players. That being said, sitting 12 -15 rows higher is better for watching the game. Much better angle to follow the play.

You're son got to shake Eli's hand? Wow. I bet he'll remember his first game-day experience for a lifetime.
