Caldwellian pants shitting after the first two drives.

Giants are going to win the Super Bowl this year. This is their bullshit. This is how it starts. Fuckers.

"Knockout punch opportunity."
 
Excellent choice of words Tirico.

 

[dynomite]

"Thunder and Lightning" was a clever nickname for a power back paired with a scat back like Tiki Barber and Ron Dayne.  It's a forced, trite, uninspired description of two relatively similar receiving RBs like Bell and Bush.
 
PS The Giants blow.  Hard.

So Eli has started this year where he left off last year, eh?

I honestly think Nassib is the starting QB in 2015. Coughlin may have been forced into retirement, as well.

Because our offensive line could not handle defensive pressure up the middle. Some shit never gets resolved.

Gruden is in full on "must not speak ill of a Manning" mode

Day in the life of the Manning Football League

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol they were both blocking on the rollout.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

How does MacAdoo expect to be respected when he parts his hair down the middle?

 

[Dgilpin]

If any unit on the lions couldn't afford any injuries it was the secondary ..

 

[dynomite]

I dunno, you gotta feel pretty good about the Lions after this game.  Stafford has looked incredible tonight.

Agree, Stafford has looked fantastic. He's obviously helped a bit my Megatron but lots of good decision making tonight.

Pats got to play these guys, that should be a fun game..

If the Pats team from the 2nd half is the real version of the Pats, they'll struggle to beat any team in the league.
 
Luckily I don't think that's who they really are, or at least will be.

Cautiously optimistic , but you can see a lot of improvement in Stafford from last year. That last drive , would have been a 3 and out last year . Still I have to hope a lot of these injuries in the secondary are minor , because they can't afford to lose any guys back there .

If this is the Lions, it going to be a tough game no matter which iteration of the Pats show up.

 

[Soxy]

Yeah, Stafford avoiding the big, dumb mistake when it looked like he had a few opportunities for it has to be pretty encouraging for Lions fans. Giants got some pressure on him but he always seemed under control. Took a few shots when he thought he had something, otherwise threw it away and moved on to the next play.

I've arranged to have this chiseled on my headstone when I kick the stick
 

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Should've traded Mallet for Megatron while we had the chance.

 

[Jungleland]

Should be bolts ball

 

[gammoseditor]

Let's see what that draft pick turns into before we jump to conclusions. 

 

[DannyHeep]

That is SD's ball. You can see two empty hands at the end of the play.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Weddle's beard is fantastic.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

You have Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd and you call a fade to five foot John Brown.

 

[Freddy Linn]

So Dilfer is tone deaf about the Rice situation as well...

 

[BannedbyNYYFans.com]

These idiots are commending the NFL and the Ravens for acting quickly and decisively on the Rice situation. Fucking embarrassing.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Rough spot there. Dude was literally right there staring at the ball.
 
Never mind, didn't think the knee was down at first.

It's a shame there aren't two professional people whose job it is to provide insight into what we're watching to indicate stuff like that

 

[Marciano490]

Chris Canty is an idiot.

 

[shawnrbu]

Can't feel excited about having the Lions and Chargers on the schedule this season.  Both look very good.

 

[Soxy]

That was pretty Chargers right there. Bad snap boots them out of FG range on 3rd down.

 

[Tony C]

Tommy Kelly looks pretty damn good for the Cardinals. Just sayin....

 

[Soxy]

Allen's gotta catch that.

 

[Soxy]

That was such a Chargers way to finish that game. I'm not sure there's any franchise better at finding ways to lose in crotch throbbingly painful fashion than San Diego.
