With Brady out, I don't know if I even want to watch this season.
Cassell will be OK, but he won't be Brady. They will win some, lose some... then they're done.

Meh.
I know y'all didn't like Brady, but he was somethin' special. Pats will find it difficult to shake his loss.

Actually, I think we'll find out just how special Brady is. The only time Brady's missed action in the past was in the playoffs his first year in the playoffs, when Bledsoe came back in to help them beat the Steelers. Certainly Brady is good, but we'll see how Cassel can do with that loaded cast and top-notch (efficiency and productivity wise, anyways) coaching staff.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Hey no problemo amigo. And it is! My grandpa, for the past 3 seasons, has been whining all seasons long about blitzing the quarterback and finally today in the paper, they talked about blitzingThanks Decker! You know I think sportswriting in general is in a pretty poor state these days. Half the stuff you read online is purely recycled week after week. Lechler and Janikowsky get plenty of work, that's for sure, and they're consistently well ranked statistically, which is more than the rest of the team can say.
The thing I'd like to see is this team to come out angry next week and beat KC like the Broncos beat us, but without letting up in the 4th. The Chiefs are one of the worst teams in the league in every facet of the game and if these guys can't find a rhythm and get the offense on track against them, well, it's going to be a long, looong season.
the quarterback. The jerks.
And so do I although it all feels like it will be a dream come sundayWe shall find out.
Whatchya crying about hombre?? Last time I checked you didn't lose 41-14. And when I saw a few highlights of the game. The second stringer looked to be rather good, from what I saw anyways.
But who knows, you guys might lose the next 10 games

The Onion's take on the Brady injury:

Playing the Jets should be a good litmus test for Cassel. We shall see.

Litmus test in what way?
Eagles-Cowboys on Monday night. If you need me for the next two days, I'll be busy pumping myself up.

Al Davis about ready to fire Kiffin
God, what a mess. I truly sympathize with all Raiders fans out there. One of the two definitely needs to go, but it ain't Kiffin.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Eh... what are ya gonna do about it. Al hired Kiffin and told him to do whatever it takes to fix the team. Kiffin tried during the offseason by getting rid of our defensive coach Ryan, but old man Al Davis said, "I don't think so," and that's when the problems started. At least he has a season to do as much as he can to fix it and improve the team with what he has. Right now we look okay but that's only the first quarter...

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Entertaining first half. Right now, the Eagles are up, and I have faith that they'll close the deal.

Not a good day for me. First Rick Wright dies, now we lose to Dallas. At least it was a good game.

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS
In all honesty that was the best game I've seen in a while. The Eagles are a team to be reckoned with
