PrintWow, I forgot with the doubleheader that MNF was on early this week, so I'm a little late on the open thread.
Thread is now open for Minn vs. GB and Denver vs. Oak.

+1 Mand...we had our choice of either Crosby or Folk....that's a comparison i watch closely....
our scouts somehow felt Folk was the better fit……even though Crosby was higher rated, and was known for the booming KO’s ta boot…..pun intended :-)
not that i’m complaining……I love our Folk hero

Crosby was the guy I wanted
but I dont care just as long as we drafted a kicker, instead of searching the garbage bins every year for one
crosby has a stronger leg and is just as good at fieldgoals
and plays in more weather condition issue stadiums.
But no one should complain about having Folk.
ummm...Terry...they guy led the NFL in scoring last year.....as a rookie...
There’s no use to beat this subject up…..but Crosby is no slouch, and it can’t be said that Folk’s better……numbers don’t lie……I myself wanted Crosby…..but like Deke said…….I am just glad we drafted a kicker…..Folk’s our guy….and hopefully he’ll play his whole career here……..

Folk would have never had that kick blocked
at the end of the 1st half, ’nough said.
In Romo we Trust
lol....like it was his fault ?.....they defender came in unblocked....and the holder was signed this week.....c'mon now...

Boyz that kick was way too low
Folk would have kicked that much higher as Crosby should have, its not like it a long attempt.
In Romo we Trust
as far as I'm concerned ESPN can get rid of one more in the booth also
I dont need three guys in the booth calling a game
By rule, yes
But I just cant see calling PI when the receiver has to pull up because the ball is underthrown
Rodgers looks pretty good
After watching last year against Dallas, I knew it was time for Greenbay to make the change because Rodgers was ready for the starting roe
+1 WB3.......once a player crosses the end line the play is over.....I hate when guys pull that nonsense after getting beat....
the dude came down hard too….way out of bounds….could’ve blow a knee out..

Yep!
If its a pass I can handle it. You might jar it loose. But when they run it in like that, that hit was pointless and dangerous.
Im just not getting the refs
Yesterday they’re calling ticky tack crap like TOs “Offensive PI” that was a simple hand check and this crew is letting the GB DBs molest people with no flags
Rodgers
Not doing too badly for a rookie. (BTB standards) Imagine the quantum leaps he will make in his second and third year. Scary stuff.
He's no rookie
By anyone’s standards. Rodgers was brought along the way a QB should. Drafted and groomed for a few years before taking the reins. I wonder how many good QBs have been ruined in the FA era because of the win now attitude the league has taken. How would guys like Alex Smith, David Carr and Joey Harrington have done if they hadnt been thrown into the fire as rookies?
I got three words for that "Rookie Salary Cap"

I agree to an extent
Here’s the problem I see with the rookie salary cap, especially with QBs, WRs & DBs that take a few years to really develop. If the players agree to a rookie salary cap, they will insist on shortening the max length contract for the rookies too. So instead of signing your firt rounder for 5-6 years, you can only sign him for 3-4 years. So if you take the time to groom them then about the time you get him ready to play in the NFL he can bolt for the biggest check. So you are right back in the same boat. Irregardless, a rookie salary cap needs to be imposed. It’s ridiculous how much the kids (busts) are making.
Who the heck is doing the call for Den vs. Oakland game?? Mike Golic and Greenie ??

What a crappy game. One big play punt return was it. Sloppy play from GB and MIN.

Alright
Mike & Mike & Dit-Ka calling it, sweet.
The Raiders field looks so lame with that baseball diamond in the middle.

That incomplete pass challenge
in the GB-Minn game was bad. I cant believe that call wasn’t overturned on review.
Russell is horrible
paying this guy big money to hand balls off, thats his best asset. He’s terrible setting up and throwing it. Had a guy wide open for the first down
Ditka
just called the Eagles the Iggles…haha. at least thats what it sounded like

eddie royal
looks special, watch out for Denver in the afc west.

great hands also but is built like a stick….will not last 16 games in the nfl
Deangelo Hall
2 Q played, 2 personal foul calls. Yep, that’s about right. Plus he’s getting owned by Royal. Congrats Al, more money well spent.

broncos look good
running and passing effectively, controlling the line, and some good creative play calling. a lot of things about the AFC that we all assumed would be true last week are much less certain now, including SD and NE’s locks on their respective divisions.
