Really, they just shot themselves in the foot. How did the Jets score all those points in the 4th quarter? Mistakes after mistakes on the Cowboys part. The only thing that could have made this worse would be like a certain game last year. Romo, stop doing your LeBron James impersonation.
Anyone bought the lottery today? Ravens>Steelers, Redskins>Giants, Bills>Chiefs...

Though, the punt block for TD... someone at the line didn't do his assignment.

Regardless, I felt they should have started Kitna (if they kept him anyhow). Winning 5 of their last 8 games last season is good enough reason imo. |

Jon Kitna. . .lolno. Serviceable QB, but he's not going to take your team to the playoffs. 5 out of 8 is easier to pull off when you're eliminated from playoff contention and there's little pressure to succeed.

I almost feel sorry for Romo...I actually was a big fan of his when he first came on the scene...He was like Favre 2.0, but the GOOD Favre, then they kinda made him stop doing that fun stuff, he turned into a pocket passer and he has an identity crisis now plus the pressure that comes with being a Wowboy...
I still remember that first playoff game he loss by fumbling the FG snap against Seattle...If he would have gotten that one extra yard and scored the 2-pt conversion that would have won that game, would his career be totally different? he just relives that similiar moment over and over again...It's mental... With that said, 15 teams would drop their QB right this instant for Tony Romo, cause that's the NFL... As for MNF game tonight, I guess what gets on my nerves about Brady's achievements is that the $hit looks so plain...I know, dude is arguably the best QB ever..I've come to terms with it (Hasn't been easy^^), but when I think of amazing QB performances, I never think about Tom Brady...Dude had 500 yards and I can't think of ONE amazing play he made in that game...I guess this is the thing that drives Brady haters mad... With Brady he just stands in the pocket, makes good throws and guys run for TD's LOL^^...Shotgun in the endzone, makes a good throw, Wes Welker runs 80 yds for the TD...Both Miami CB's had epic cramps and he just systematical dogged them, then bludgeoned the backup CB's with dinks and dunks... I mean with Cam's game yesterday you could see the spiciness... Brees' 2-minute drill at the end vs. the Pack, you could see the epicness...Aaron Rodgers early against the Saints, again you SEE IT...Vick had 200 yds passing and like 5 of those passes were the greatest $hit ever seen...Brady just stands behind his great effin O-line (and effin superior backup O-linemen) and just makes good throws and guys run for TD's...LOL It's f**king insane how simple it appears...

^Did you see him give up chasing that D-lineman that intercepted him? He was running like a duck in quicksand^^...
He has a very limited amount of athleticism...His arm used to be average, so I imagine he worked out with Tony Horton (p90x) and ZUES on his off day because he has a god-damn cannon now...He couldn't throw half the passes he throws now in his early seasons...Drew Bledsoe might wanna lie on a Quiznoes sandwich toaster after seeing Tom, Brady-his-way into ripping another one of his records though...

I used to be that pessimistic. Considering the amount of QBs Dallas has gone through over the years before Romo...I find Kitna capable enough, at least he's not a baseball pitcher that was drafted because he could throw -_-

It was certainly entertaining. Tons of offense and big plays on both sides of the ball.
On another note, does anyone not consider Cam Newton's debut impressive? I ask because I know a guy on a forum who doesn't think it was all that great, and is using the fact that statistics don't always tell the whole story and that the Panthers lost as his reasoning.

Second point, when was the last time you've seen a rookie do that on his debut, without OTAs, a shortened training camp and very little time to learn the playbook? Good players need time to be great, but the special ones always stand out. Also, when you lose, you lose as a team, and the special team lost the game for the Panthers on that punt return, so it's not Cam's fault anyway. Using the fact that the Panthers lost is also 'using stats'. You can only see the whole thing by watching the whole game, which is why coaches use game tape to train players, not stats.

And also note that all those yards wasn't because Carolina was playing catch-up; we were ahead most of the game. Last edited by Dilla; 2011-09-13 at 13:21. |

He's starting to be a great QB, Carolina needs to show that intensity once instead of being an doorstep to every NFC team now Packers heading to Charlotte with fire to burn a roasting panther in a spike. They need to be ready because this game is crucial for Carolina. |

I'm not expecting Cam to play well against Green Bay. But that's okay, Cam is still a rookie and there are going to be times where I want to pull my hair out this season, but I just need to see that the potential is there for next season.
Check this, in this one game Cam already has as many total TDs than Jimmy Clausen had all last season. |

I'm bummed Denver lost against Oakland again. Looks like the Raiders are continuing their baffling winning streak in the AFC West. Broncos had no answer for McFadden...he just ran all over the defense. It wasn't the absolute debacle of a game they played last year when they got whipped 59-14, but it was hard seeing them make so many mistakes.
Cam was impressive, but I agree numbers like he put up this game certainly not expected to be the norm . He's a rookie and he was playing against the Cardinals. The Packers will definitely put on more pressure, but Cam has the benefit of a veteran receiver like Steve Smith. Smith's past his heyday, but I think he showed that he and Cam have a good chemistry on the field that could benefit the Panthers the entire season.

Brady's 500+ yards was impressive, but I thought it remarkable how none of the commentators mentioned Chad Henne's 400+ yards. The yardage stats for this game were unreal. The Pats had 622 total yards, and the Dolphins totaled 488. I'm guessing the defense heard some naughty words from the Hoodie today. I'd rather the Pats gain 400 yards and hold the opponents to 300 or less.
