Cowboys @ Broncos NFLN replay open thread

The NFL Network is replaying the Cowboys @ Broncos game at 4 PM EST.

This is an open thread for chat while watching the game.

The BTB fantasy football league shook out like this:

Grizz, TH, Brandon, Terry, scottmaui and philosopher were already in the league. The six spots from the random drawing went to tasan, BigRigga31, The Jeezus, bryangene, grapejoos and jascksastud.

More guys were interested in playing so if anybody wants to create a couple of other leagues on FleaFlicker, I’ll cover them on the blog too, but we’ll need someone to step up as commissioners and create the leagues. If someone wants to do that and if enough guys are interested, respond in this open thread. Also, I think we had at least one other BTB fantasy league brewing, if whoever is running that let’s me know about it, I’ll cover it, too. And I guess that goes for any BTB-member league going.

We have this little software program that calculates stats on open threads. So I used it on the three Broncos game open threads below.

Here are the top-5 BTB’ers in number of comments on the open threads:
Bigrigga31 – 114 comments
Brandon W - 101
scottmaui - 86
Wmillion - 76
Dave Halprin (Grizz) - 57

We had 33 people participate, which is actually kind of low. Hope to see more next game.

Oh and I'm about to rewatch the game on NFL net right now

It should be almost like watching it for the first time since the online viewing was so terrible last night

I know I didn't post due to the NFLN not showing the game

The weblink someone gave was alright, but the 10 year old Broncos fans were just too much for me. Like when one said…Romo = Bin Laden

Just 1 example of the nonsense on there.

FYI for next time...

They let you pop out the video window so you can open a different page to focus on (like BTB). The 10 year olds were killing me too.

Its a little different watching the game in HD

I had the computer hooked up to the TV so I could watch the internet feed on the big screen. Not the greatest clarity.

by Brandon Worley on Aug 17, 2008 3:24 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

It may have been a bit of conjecture on Romo's part

But the Cowboys really did play some vanilla offense. We’re used to seeing a lot motion, TO lining up all over the field. Not tonight. Also, the Broncos routinely rushed just 3 guys, dropping 8 back in coverage.

Man, Witten is a beast BTW.

Did anybody see this:

Jacques Reeves was the #1 highlight on Sportscenter last night.

Of course, he was the guy getting hurdled by Reggie Bush.

LOL

I didn’t see it, but will check it out forsure

That #38 sure should wrap up!

Money well spent :)

Wait until they play IND, it could get ugly.

Jacques WHO ?

A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.

miles getting hurt

that really makes me sad…

not a big deal he's prolly just going to miss the Cleveland game

maybe not even that depending on what the MRI shows tomorrow. I think people are really over-reacting. It

by quincyyyyy on Aug 17, 2008 7:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hopefully same diagnosis for Austin..
The MCL injury could keep Jackson out of the Vikings’ preseason game next Saturday against the Steelers but the injury isn’t considered serious enough to sideline him for the start of the regular season.

Never used flea flicker, but I am definitely down to host a league/commish, if we can get the guys together.

Austin out 4-6 weeks

Todd Archer at DMN blog says Austin will miss 4-6 weeks.

Miles Austin’s stellar training camp and preseason has come to an end because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee suffered Saturday, and it’s unlikely he will be able to play in the regular-season opener Sept. 7 at Cleveland.
 
Generally speaking, MCL tears (anytime you hear a sprain that means something is torn, by the way) take 4-6 weeks to heal depending on the severity.

However, although this post just went up, it sounds like he’s just making an assessment based on what we already knew yesterday, not anything new from the MRI that gives us insight into the severity of the injury. I was going to make a fanpost out of this but then I realized it isn’t really news.

So hopefully we’ll hear something about the MRI soon so we’ll know whether it is more likely to be toward the low or high end of that time frame, which could make the difference of missing one regular season game vs. 3 or 4 games.

I'll wait to hear what Dr. Wade says

Archer is just talking out of his arse right now

Everyone, I am fine. The sprain is not as serious as everyone thinks it is. 4-6 weeks is just precautionary. It’s really more like 2-3 weeks. But I do think we are keeping 6 Wideouts regardless.

Have no idea if that’s actually him, probably not but I guess it could be, and regardless, I hope it is accurate!

I SURE HOPE SO…

Pats stinky

btw, the Pats are down 17-3 to the Bucs at the half, with only a 53 yard FG at the end of the half. Cassel is kind of stinking it up. I would take Brad over any of Brady’s potential backups. And their starting defense has not played well either. Just for some perspective…

by scottmaui on Aug 17, 2008 8:24 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Gurode needs to talk that backup C.

Tell him it happens all the time. You can even be a Probowler!

That #38 sure should wrap up!

Chad Johnson landed on his shoulder and had to leave the game.

Calvin Johnson looks really good.

That #38 sure should wrap up!

Adam Shefter

just said Bucs don’t plan on trading Simms till after preseason’s over.

Greedy pirates!

That #38 sure should wrap up!

by Aaron Novinger on Aug 17, 2008 8:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

he's in the game

if anyone wants to look at the QB some have been lobbying for as a second backup behind Brad. Just got a 15 yard completion down to inside the 1.

by scottmaui on Aug 17, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

They'll just cut him after the preseason

Unless another team is seriously looking at him as a possible starter (doubt that), he should be there for free if the Cowboys just wait. I have to say, I was totally against picking him up, but he’s looking pretty good (better than our backups) I’m all for bringing him in for a good look.

Just want to say

Thanks for letting me in to play with the big boys in fantasy football. I plan on being a regular here during the season, as I’m usually online chatting with my dad about the game while watching, so I’m sure I’ll have this open in the background. Bad luck to everyone else in the fantasy football league and go Cowboys! ;- )

Tom Grieve is my hero.

Crap Grizz

Other BTB Fantasy League

I’m in the other fantasy league run by BTB’er accidental innuendo, and we have a few open slots. It’s on Yahoo and has unusual rules requiring serious competitors – 2 starting QBs, individual defensive players, etc. Check out his post on the subject:

http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2008/8/6/588369/need-5-more-players-2-qb-y

There are 8 teams now but we would like to get 10 or 12. Draft is currently scheduled for this Sunday, but if we don’t get more people before then, it may be pushed back (up to the commish).

Thanks in advance to anyone interested.
