Around the NFL Week 1.

fALCONS LOST NEAL TO ACL.. BIG BLOW

That stinks for Neal. Shit didn't even look bad either. More than ever you need depth at every position

Yes they will. The Eagles have a physical team. RB Ajai had two running TD’s.
They may not be play a pretty/ high ratings style football, but they will not get pushed around. They play smashmouth. Playoff time that usually wins.
I don’t give a fuck they are in the NFC East, I recognize when a team is good.

screw them and their phony ass championship.

As long as you are talking the Cowboys from the '80s, let's not forget that the Redskins from 2001-2011 had more players arrested than any other team in their division. Real pack of saints those Redskins....

The bald numbers from the BR report reveal very little -- they're arrests, but no data on whether charges were actually brought and folks were convicted, and it doesn't indicate what people were arrested for. Unlike this unsavory report: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24605488/former-dallas-cowboys-rb-joseph-randle-arrested-suspicion-rape-charge

Anyway, back to actual football, it will be interesting to see how the NFCE shakes out this weekend. Dallas has a tough one at Carolina, and the Giants are at home against JAX. There's a decent chance Dallas and NYG both lose, making the ARI game all the more important for us. The reality is that our schedule is tough, and opponents like ARI and IND the following week are must win games if the season isn't going to be a bit of a disaster.

yet the eagles and a few others seem to have fucking cupcake schedules for the most part. This is a blind statement off memory alone.

Yeah as really think that Dallas will be beaten in Carolina and Jaguars are red hot and Eli is not the QB he used to be. Just hope that Redskins with Alex Smith can begin a new era of winning.

Seems that whenever it doesn't look that bad its always the worst. Especially when you go down without contact. I knew once he went down it was torn.

I hate the way the Falcons medical staff let Neal return to the game after he hurt his knee earlier in the game. Makes me wonder if he exacerbated the injury by returning. If he were my son I'd be furious. I don't even know him and it pissed me off.

Honestly did not see the play but I would like to add that the staff and Doctors can only go by what a player tells them on the field.

By now, I would hope that even your casual NFL fan knows that the extent of any knee injury cannot be determined without the aid of an MRI. Once the knee is injured, players should not be allowed back on the field in the same game by NFL rule. Only after a full medical examination, including an MRI, followed by appropriate medical treatment and rehabilitation should they be allowed to return to practices and games - again by league rule.

Based on the physician's creed to first do no harm to the patient, to send the player back out on the field without knowing the extent of his injury seems to me to border on malpractice. Isn't it possible that the player in this case had a lesser injury, such as a partial tear, until he went back on the field and tore the ligament completely?
