That 4 p.m. slate kind of sucks, but there is a bunch of good football on between Thursday and Monday.

As everyone knows Manning is questionable, that would probably be trouble playing in Houston.

News tonight that Matt Cassel has a rib injury, possibly cracked.

[Mystic Merlin]

That Thursday game at Lambeau is an awesome opening salvo. I was worried they'd schedule Bears/Packers or something; Saints/Packers is a true royal rumble.

[Soxy Brown]

Too bad I have to teach a beer class on Thursday night. That should be an epic opening Thursday night game.

I think Philly at St. Louis could be a sleeper game. Classic "team anointed as pre-season champs" vs. "team with something to prove" matchup. Don't discount the home-dome factor. Detroit at Tampa should be another entertaining sleeper game.

In the "pointing out the obvious" category, Pitt at Bal is an awesome week 1 matchup. The hate between those two teams rivals, if not exceeds, Pats-Jets. Dallas at NYJ is a fantastic Sunday night game to cap off the day.

Monday looks like a snooze-fest. Maybe Miami puts up a fight, but Oakland and Denver look like non-contenders, even in that shit division.

Wait, what?

[Soxy Brown]

Wait, what?

I work at a beer/wine retail store that does educational classes. I have to teach a Beer 101 class this Thursday from 6:30-8:30. If you live in the Charlotte area, you're more than welcome to attend free of charge.

I should be able to catch the second half, at least.

As always, I'll be there to witness it and folks in Boston can watch it, but this one edition may have 'ass-kicking' written all over it.

I've written in the Gene Chung thread about the Ravens' o-line issues (3 significant additions in the last 10 days). Less visible, but nonetheless significant, is this via PTF.com --

http://profootballta...ainst-steelers/

So Flacco may have to throw a lot because Ben is likely to throw a lot and successfully.

Flacco behind a balky o-line reminds me of Bledsoe. And it's UGLY.

@Jay_Glazer Jay Glazer

I'm reporting the Jaguars today have informed starting QB David Garrard they are releasing him! Luke McKown will start opener! Shocker!!!

[jsinger121]

evansilva: Per SportsCenter, #Colts president Bill Polian has officially ruled out QB Peyton Manning (neck) for Week 1.

[ShaneTrot]

Could Houston possibly lose this game against the Colts? If they do, Kubiak should be executed.

[Section15Box113]

I like the Saints.
I like Brees.
I love the City of New Orleans.

BUT...

Have to keep reminding myself to root for the Pack tomorrow night. If ever there were a year for NO to go into the tank and miss the playoffs, this is it. Hey, a Pats fan can dream...

[ivanvamp]

Indeed. I can't wait to watch that game. Two of the best teams in the league right out of the shoot. Man, I love the NFL.

Nothing NFL fans want more than maroon 5.

NBC has been pimping the shit out of him since he started anchoring that stupid 'American Idol' ripoff for them.

[Ed Hillel]

That's quite a statement by Dungy, saying he would take Rodgers over Brady and a healthy Manning to win now.

He's the flavor of the minute, like Brees last year.

Very weird.

What, no Faith Hill?

[bigsid05]

Is it weird that I don't hate kid rock?

Yes. That was awful.

[Mystic Merlin]

Nice intro song, what is this, the 90s?

[bsartist618]

I think that intro music was on Jock Jams III

[Salva135]

To be fair, Wisconsites are probably still living in the 90s music-wise.

[SemperFidelisSox]

13 time world champions? Dont count pre-Super Bowl titles ya douchebags.

[SoxScout]

No wonder they showed her for 3 seconds, holy lip sync

[dcdrew10]

That's quite a statement by Dungy, saying he would take Rodgers over Brady and a healthy Manning to win now.

Tony Dungy lucked into coaching a team lead by a QB who learned how to be a QB before he became coach. Don't trust anything he says about QBs. His tenure in Tampa made Marty Schottenheimer look like he was running a June Jones offense. I hate Dungy.

[phragle]

Plus possible man hands

[Mystic Merlin]

Patrick Robinson got punked.

[Ed Hillel]

Pretty sure every team that wins the SB does it with some major injuries.

Great throw.

[SoxScout]

Cam Jordan is #94

[phragle]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

[SumnerH]

13 time world champions? Dont count pre-Super Bowl titles ya douchebags.

Meh, I enjoy counting Bill Russell's pre-merger NBA titles, and old NFL championships are more impressive than original-6 era Stanley Cups.

Nice start for our draft pick.

[Jnai]

fail

[Salva135]

Are the Packers going to rest their starters when they get to 13-0?

[SoxScout]

Why the fuck did Driver just do a dance on that play?

[luqin]

The Packers look like they might be somewhat decent this season.

[axx]

Sproles not a big fan of the new kickoff rules.

[bigsid05]

Yea... both these teams are good...

[MarcSullivaFan]

Packers is deep.

[Mystic Merlin]

Over, over, over

[drleather2001]

I can't believe they're re-making "Straw Dogs" with those shit actors.

Christ.

[Ed Hillel]

No idea what Colinsworth is talking about.

[phragle]

That kick off from the 30 was awesome. Why don't they always do that?

[ethangl]

<br />That kick off from the 30 was awesome. Why don't they always do that?<br />

That guy has maybe the strongest leg in the league.

[SumnerH]

Rodgers to Finley for that first down was gorgeous.

EDIT: And the Packers are just firing on all cylinders.

GB's got receiving talent out the ass.

[OldSaintJohn]

That was a nasty juke by Cobb. Roman Harper is not having a fun evening

[cshea]

Rodgers....13/14, 188 yards, 3 TD

Not a bad quarter.

[Ed Hillel]

Oh, goodie, another weapon for Rodgers. A ways to go, but there is dynasty potential here I think.

[bigsid05]

Saints need to make some adjustments... badly. This is 2007 Patriots-esque.

[phragle]

With the first pick of the NFL draft the New England Patriots choose, Alshon Jeffery.
