Bill Belichick just laughed out loud.
Can Belichick’s laughter catch passes from Brady? Anyway- weird, sloppy game so far.
Apparently that happens before every game and before the second half. Officials pat down random players to check for illegal substances applied to the uniform. Like silicon, or something else that would make them harder to tackle. Cite.
Hmmm…since Wes Welker is on one of my fantasy teams, I won’t bitch about that first down he stole. And I will celebrate his 2 TDs so far. Also got Manning in that league, so it’s a good night for me.
For all fantasy owners facing Manning this week, I feel your pain. I was kibitzing in a non-SDMB league about his 6 TDs, and by the time I sent the message it was 7. I’m afraid to look again. Maybe he could throw one of those to Torrey Smith?
I have both Manning and Thomas. Finished the evening with 73 points.
My roommate has Welker and Manning. It’s been a happy night.
“We gave him how much money?”
-Ozzie Newsome.
Was that Manning’s biggest day ever?
If you have Trevathan in your fantasy league do you have to subtract points for a play that stupid?
However, the Cowboys are undefeated in season openers against the Giants. Clearly this game will end in a tie.
It was a fumble, so yes.
So happy I’m not facing Manning in any league this week. Good for him though. Like many others, I didn’t think he would be able to come back from his injury with this much success. I will have fun watching Denver this season (except for the Manning bowl).
How hard is “Score first, then celebrate” to understand at this point?
There were other big screw-ups in the game - John Harbaugh (not calling for a challenge), Brynden Trawick (running into Jacoby Jones), and Wes Welker (fumbling the punt return) are all good examples - but I’d give the dunce cap to Danny Trevathan because his screw-up was so avoidable.
Yeah. I was flashing back to Leon Lett, except without the heroics of Don Beebe.
I ROFL’d after I picked my jaw back up.
I ROFL’d more after a brief sideline shot of Del Rio ripping the young man a brand-spanking new asshole. That guy can jaw, can’t he?
I hope Trevathan remembers this little life lesson for the rest of his career.
Shame, because Trevathian was having a great game otherwise. He really stoiod out in coverage.
My Julius Thomas desperation pick in the Big League seems to have worked out rather well.
It’s more like the DeSean Jackson thing from a few years ago. It’s just dumb. Why the urge to drop the ball and celebrate the instant you cross the goal line? Get halfway into the endzone and then do whatever you want.
Especially on the interception during the same play.
Didn’t Jackson do it twice before he learned?
I can forgive Welker the dropped punt. Yes, it was a bad play, but he is not the normal punt returner handling the punt in rainy weather. It was costly but these things happen.
I have to give Trevathian and Trawick a tie. Both of those cost thier teams dearly and were completely avoidable if they had used thier heads.
