Pittsburgh had that game won, it was no shootout. Raiders had two TD's on pump fakes where the safety bit and the WR was wide open deep for the TD's. Raiders scored 21 on 2 long balls for TDs an XP and a 2 pt conversion and 2 field goals. Pittsburgh pretty much dominated except for those two long TD's.

42 yarders aren't exactly gimmes. Now if that was 32 yards...

1. Manning 2. Brady 3. McNair 4. Culpepper 5. Favre Delhomme would be a very close 6th but I'd like to see hiim do the same another year. Pennington, Hassleback, and Vick haven't done anything yet to be on this list.

He looked good in the preseason, I see no reason to believe he won't to just as well during the regular season.

Greg Aeillo (sp) from the NFL was on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN Radio and said they cannot show Friday or Saturday games on television, whther network tv or otherwise, due to competition with High School and College football. It goes back to a long standing law from 1961.

Agree it will be Schobel.

With all the talk about how this is going to be a run first team, a play action pass out of a two TE set.

That was really his only dumb play of the night. But you are correct, when he audibled and I saw the back move to the other side, the first thing I thought was what the hell are you doing?

I don't think anyone here thinks its hopeless. We're all finally admitting that the Pats are a damn good team. Although from the looks of last night, I believe their D is vulnerable. Without the stupid turnovers the score could have been 45-27. The Pats looked like the Chiefs of last year, great offense but Defense was shaky.

I think you need to rewatch the game, even when he was getting pressure Brady was dead on. Whether he was scrambling or in the pocket. The only time he made bad throws were when someone was right up in his face and he couldn't step into it. I was mocking him and giving making excuses for the past two years, but after watching him last night, I have to give him his props.

Looks like you're going to have to start posting on a Dolphins board.

Wait a minute, so this means that its still the national game, even though we already know the outcome? That sucks! I was hoping I might be able to see the Bills. At least put a different game on, why the hell would anyone want to see a game they already know the outcome of unless you are a fan of one of those teams? A general NFL fan wouldn't want to see a game he already knew what happened. If I see that game on Sunday, I have one thing to say to CBS... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: !

I am hereby on the Tom Brady band wagon. Not that I'm ever going to root for him, I hope he loses the rest of the games this year. But his performance last night was amazing. All this time half of us were saying its the system NE runs that generates his success. I don't think so. There weren't many dink and dunk passes last night. Those were accurate middle distance to long throws. Brady never lost his cool out there. His confidence, his poise, his accuracy were great. I now believe all this talk of him being compared to Joe Montana, because that's exactly who he looks like out there. It just sucks that he's in our division.

Manning is fabulous at the play action. Agree with Al, he must be the best in the league.

The obvious answer and it only took to the 23rd post for someone to say it. We must be getting slow.

So now you not only have moles, but moles with the s-hits.

Unless he's sick again and they couldn't get a guest host, thats stevestojan. You can't preempt his show on opening day.

Bills 23 Jags 17

It would be on CBS do they have college football? Down here in Raleigh that was going to be the Sunday early game. Maybe they'll put the Bills game on now. Now that would absolutely make my weekend!!!! Opener tonite, Canes tomorrow, Fins getting crushed Saturday, Bills Sunday. Fantastic!

Just because she's not 20 yrs old anymore doesn't mean she isn't a beautiful woman.

Took Atlanta

Oh come on....quit exaggerating. The winds are only going to be about 150 mph.

McGahee 2 yards up the middle.

I don't get it. Shouldn't he be trying to get the fans excited about the season opener? Instead he's trying to bring everybody down. Honestly, I'm so sick of his stevestojan that I don't even bother reading him anymore, ever since he wrot eback to me and basically that's the way I see it - no further insight, just - that's the way I see it.
