NFL 2011 Kickoff - Green Bay v. New Orleans Game Thread (3 Viewers)

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Graham had no fight whatsoever to get that ball.

that ball didn't even get within his reach. That was slightly underthrown by brees and a helluva play by the Packer defender.

He was waiting for the ball instead of attacking it. Textbook.

This seems like a worst case scenerio game for Ingram owners.

They won't play the best team in the NFL every week. This is the rare situation where you are playing a powerful offense, which puts you into pass mode, and a superb defense.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Free Mark Ingram!

 

[Kenny Powers]

What's with all the touchbacks? What did the new rule do?

I think you answered your own question.

Stay over here Kenny! There's no pissy posters, only love in this thread.

Sold!

I just want to say that I love football

That is all

Agree with everything, which is why I was talking about this game.

Federer just took control vs. Tsonga...should be an easy 3 set win for him

 

[Bears_Man2]

why did they resign James Jones? Seems like a waste of $$

He's decent injury insurance I suppose. Not sure I'd give my #5 WR a signing bonus. Problem is, Jennings and Jordy are locked on the outside. Driver in the slot. And Cobb is more explosive and better in the slot than Jones. And haven't gotten to Finley yet.Even when Driver retires, I don't see him doing much. He's not a great route runner (which is where Jordy blows him away), he's not reliable. Really not sure why the Packers wanted him back (even after the rest of the league didn't)There are still people out there that really believe James is a better WR than Jordy. Not sure what they're watching. (or not watching)

 

[Kenny Powers]

Free Mark Ingram!

I just figured out what Payton's doing. I remember reading his favorite movie is The Goonies. In the first half, he played Ingram liike he was Sloth when he was shackled in the restaurant basement. In the 2nd half, the beast will be unleashed.HEYYY YOUUU GUYSSSSS!!!

 

[Army Eye]

We just made it through a whole halftime studio show with no "Tiny Football League" update. This is gonna be the best season ever!!

 

[mrpnlu]

man if brees dumped to ingram on that play instead on incompletion to dave thomas...had room

 

[mrpnlu]

ingram been in like 4 or 5 plays...straight

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Yikes. Well let's see how Kasay does.

 

[timschochet]

You guys that spent the first half ripping Ingram- I think you might want to rethink it. By midseason I predict he will be posting top 10 numbers.

 

[Tecumseh]

 

[Tony Jabroni]

This Cobb kid is good!

 

[Card Trader]

At least we won't see kick returns for TDs this year

I was hoping he'd get the TD so that he would have a respectable fantasy day in one drive.By the way, Cobb is fun to watch.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

omggggg

 

[rascal]

Saints really need to learn how to tackle...but at least their defense is getting a good rest.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

as a UK alum, i'm proud of that guy.

 

[gonzobill5]

did that just happen?

 

[Mr.Pack]

COBB BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shadyridr]

Ingram is gonna be a stud vs avg to bad teams. The game circumstances in this one meant more Sproles & Thomas. Everyone knew this would be a tough matchup for him.

 

[PranksterJD]

Didn't learn anything from marshawn.

 

[Mr.Pack]

This Cobb kid is good!

 

[ArcticEdge]

Wow that run back will be one of the best plays of the season.

Dont encourage them..

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

I'd like to see fantasy football adjust it's thinking on returns. A defense shouldn't get penalized on a poor play by special teams.

 

[Reepicheep]

Do a barrell roll!!

Both Cobb and Sproles putting on a show tonight. But back to Ingram- he's going to be the goal line back. There's going to be lots of touchdowns coming to this kid this year. Tonight is just not a good matchup for him because the Packers are so prolific (but he still may score before we're done.) I don't know what the exact number of touches is, but it already feels like it's been 70-30 for Ingram over Thomas.

Hopefully that drives starts his seperation.

Ingram starting this series as well.

Nice little man-beast tug-of-war there.

Yeah, I guess you can't have it both ways.

 

[Buckna]

Just when you start to think returns on kickoffs are dead: one for a TD followed up with a 57 yard return by the other team.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Here comes Ingrams first TD.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Saints really need to learn how to tackle...but at least their defense is getting a good rest.

and I thought the Steelers ST coverage was bad

 

[Prince Myshkin]

one more time randall???

 

[shadyridr]

I dont think he stepped out but I wish he did (Ingram owner)

Fixed

in ppr leages Thomas is out scoring Ingram. Not sold on Ingram.

 

[rascal]

Here comes Ingrams first TD.

maybe not

 

[timschochet]

Here comes Ingrams first TD.

Nope. But if the WR had stepped out on the 2, then it would have been.

 

[ArcticEdge]

TD HENDERSON!!!!

 

[timschochet]

I need some more Finley love. 50 yards is not enough.

 

[mr roboto]

TD HENDERSON!!!!

Nice to see ya here AE.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

What is this 3 and out stuff?
