Around the NFL-Week 1

Manning is one of the greatest to ever play. Sucks that his career is probably ending within the next couple of years.

I thought the list of QBs that threw 7td's a game was interesting because there wasn't anyone that automatically stood out. I actually had to look up a couple of them because I had never heard their names.

Broncos offense this year might be one of the best offenses ever if their Oline can keep it together and provide a run game.

Peyton has TWO games with 6 TD passes too. G.O.A.T.

7 TD passes in single game:

Y.A. Tittle
Joe Kapp
George Blanda
Sid Luckman
Adrian Burk


Only one I've never heard of was Kapp. TWO of those 7 TD games were against the Skins. :doh:

Right when Oher got knocked out that entire OLine pretty much fell apart. Their secondary, much like the Skins secondary needs time to gel. Without a pass rush both secondaries will look awful.

I still think the Ravens are a good team with a good defense. They were just second guessing themselves. They thought they knew peytons plays from Stokely, Dallas Clark, and Jim Caldwell, but Peyton, being the great QB he is, changed the signals or made adjustments to the routes.

The Ravens defense was doing ok until like you said the offense started getting hurt (losing Jacoby Jones didn't help because he was getting open) with Michael Oher hurting his leg and a rookie going out there against a good denver defense. Then they started having too many 3 and outs and all the momentum went to Denvers offense and the Ravens just got gased and tired. I still think Baltimore is a play off team, but last night was a beat down and wake up call to that team. They're a very well run franchise. They will adjust.

What was stupid, boneheaded play you guys were talking about? I didn't watch the whole game.

Only reason I've heard of Kapp/he's relevant today..

Still cannot believe they didn't challenge this play. Now Harbaugh blamed NBC and Peyton Manning instead of just admitting they messed up.

I don't really agree with that article about Manning not giving the coaches enough time. Did he get the snap off fast, yes, but I have seen coaches throw challenge flags when the offense was moving a lot faster than that. In fact if Manning fooled them it was probably because he wasn't acting like it was going to be challenged.

Patriots might lose to Buffalo, they always tend to start out slow and then win a string of regular season games in a row before losing in the championship game or Super Bowl.

Unless Tom Brady goes down with an injury, I don't see the Patriots losing to the Bills. If they do, it'd be one of the biggest upsets this year.

That was odd

I agree. We need an explanation. GreenMonkMachine, care to provide your reasoning?

That was a amazing way to open the season last night. Such a treat watching Peyton play, and to tie history with 7 TDs was just icing on the cake.


This just in..... Peyton woke up this morning, stepped out of bed and threw another TD pass..... He is on pace to throw 112 for the season.

Julius Thomas went undrafted in my Fantasy League for obvious reasons, I was asleep at the wheel on Draft night, as it pertained to TEs, and got Fred Davis in round 10. Two days after the draft I went out and got Julius Thomas and put him on my bench as a backup. Obviously, he was on my bench last night. Come on FRED DAVIS! You better be superhuman Monday night.
