Its week 1. The offense is basically the same corp group from last season, and they were pretty decent. Yeh they looked bad today. They looked like an offense that barely played in preseason. The defense looked pretty good, considering the personnel loss. We werent favored. It was anticipated to be a close game and it was a close game. Move on to the Jets.

Yes.

People are completely bipolar on here, jumping off the deep end. We lost a close game on the road. It was an evenly matched game for the most part. We werent favored going into this game so it wasnt an upset. So why is the sky falling?

I thought that when he had time in the pocket he was pretty good. The offensive line was brutal today. Tyrod was not accurate on some running throws. Overall the offense lacked rhythm the entire game minus one drive. Not seeing a single deep ball attempt was odd. Good news is that the entire afc east may go winless today.

CAN'T. WAIT.

Yeh, I kinda agree a bit; it felt a bit weird listening to that piece. Listening to Clay read a line from someone who said he looks like a Ninja Turtle...what does that even mean? I generally think anything pertaining to the Rex's is funny however.

Meh. Not that big of a fan of this. Players already hear all the negativity, especially being on the Bills. Making it a feature piece just reinforces the nonsense.

Just curious, why do you think that? They are solid all-around with no major weakness. They aren't flashy on offense, but they play smart and don't make too many mistakes. Despite losing Houston, the defense is still very formidable. At least 10-6 seems like a lock for the Chiefs, IMO.

Best case 10-6; worst case 6-10. Ultimate result: 8-8. Usual things will happen to us: 1. Key injuries and lack of depth will hurt us. 2. We'll be in several close games where we can't make the key play. 3. We'll have a couple of surprise victories. 4. We'll have a couple of boneheaded losses. I'm still psyched though!

Yeh it's a lot. But who expects Shaun Hill to last 16 games. The prospect of going half the season with a 3rd string QB probably scared the crap out of the vikes FO. Im just curious as to how many teams the Vikes called bc a 1st and conditional 4th that could go even higher is a lot. Or did they have their sights on Bradford? You figure other teams would have been interested too. Its a shame Fitzy didnt hold out longer. The Jets would be starting Geno week 1. BAHA

Stevie and Bell back to back...outstanding.

HAHA. I chuckled at that.

I would prefer to keep EJ here. Tyrod has yet to play an entire season in the NFL.

Not on our end, but I think Tyrod was drafted in the 6th round, like 180th pick (pretty darn close to 7th round).

1. Russell Wilson 2. Russell Wilson 3. Russell Wilson Never gets hit hard b/c his agility is unmatched. Can outrun most defenders. Has a cannon for an arm (which is also accurate). Smart.

haha.. EXACTLY.

I get what you're saying, but what I don't get is why the outrage as if this hasn't been done before. Have you been to Bank of America Stadium? It LITERALLY looks like you're entering a BofA branch and the entire stadium looks like a giant ATM.

That's cool, but I'm just using other teams as a point of comparison b/c there's a precedent for naming rights, and that precedent is as follows: boring. Bank of America stadium: looks like an ad. Metlife: looks like an ad. Gillette: looks like an ad. Centurylink Field: looks like an ad. Ford Field? same Lucas Oil Stadium? same. etc. What's the theme here? Naming rights are an AD. The company that's paying hundreds of millions of dollars to place their name on your stadium isn't going to CHANGE their advertising campaign/company logo just to make the stadium look "cool." It would defeat the entire purpose of their advertisement. It's common sense actually.

My opinion exactly. He's already got 2 years in towards his 18; and you know he'll get probation before the remaining 16 are served. He's only 40yrs old now - he'll be out by his early 50's with a million in the bank still.

It does look like an advertisement of sorts - but that is exactly what it is. Naming rights are the ultimate ad, so why be bothered by it? I'm just glad the name sounds "cool" - that's about as much concern as I have in this matter. You think Pats fans care about how the ad for their "Gillette Stadium" looks? Because it looks like dog poop compared to ours, IMO.

The sad reality (IMO) is that regardless of marijuana's legal status, players like Dareus will typically end up shooting themselves in the foot because they lack something between the ears. Arguing over the legality of marijuana in the US is a pointless venture in this thread because the issue at heart for MD and NFL players in general isn't about a drug's legality, it's about the intellectual wherewithal (or lack thereof) of certain players in the league to stay out of trouble. The perfect example in my opinion Adderall. Adderall is perfectly legal in this country and can be taken by NFL players if they have a legitimate medical need; yet how many players have gotten suspended over the years because they said screw it, I'm taking it regardless of approval. Dozens and dozens of players have gotten suspended. There are dozens of other lesser known drugs that are perfectly legal to be in possession of (with a legitimate prescription), but are still banned (or you still need to at least obtain prior clearance by the NFL) by the NFL for possible performance enhancing effects. Alcohol is perfectly legal too. Yet how many DWI/DUI's are players arrested for every year? The list goes on and on. In short, players like Dareus have every single tool imaginable at their disposal to succeed yet they can't get out of their own way because they're mentally weak and quite frankly, pretty dumb. Unfortunately for Dareus, no legislation on this planet can help him in that regard.

Are you implying that Rex either verbally tells his players to smoke weed or Rex's actions somehow contribute to MD smoking weed? MD is a repeat offender. This is a MD problem and nobody else's. It's a fact - some people are their own worst enemies. Sadly for us fans, MD is one of those people.

90% of the affection towards Fred is that he was a feel good story. Undrafted player that came out of nowhere: 2009 NFL all purpose yards leader First player in NFL history with 1,000 rushing and 1,000 kickoff return yards. He had something like 8,000 rushing/receiving yards for us. Great guy all around. Whats so difficult to understand about the love for him?

Dont lose enthusiasm. The success of this team will still depend on the following elements: 1. Continued development of Tyrod. 2. Health of Sammy and Shady. 3. Improving defensive execution.
