2012 NFL Week 1

[dwid]

I wouldn't put much into Griffin's performance, the Saints are very thin at cornerback, Jabari Greer is out, plus its a bunch of wrinkles the Saints didn't prepare for.

 

[Riddlewire]

Griffin didn't throw a pass beyond the line of scrimmage until his seventh throw of the game. It's not his production. Like I said, it's the Holgorsen offense. Read my posts on Geno Smith in the "Voodoo Mathematics" thread.
The problem is that the rules of football have gaps that make it nearly impossible to stop. The addition of replacement refs who WILL NOT call holding makes the offense the best way to move the ball down the field. Every team should switch to it.

****, Colin McCarthy got injured. hope it's not too serious!

EDIT: just a knock.

Woodhead is not getting a lot of action despite only Ridley ahead of him in this game. Welker and Edelman only have one catch each!

 

[Don Wassall]

Hillis and Gerhart are afterthoughts so far. . .

 

[backrow]

Walter just had an end zone interference call putting Texans on the goal line, allowing Foster to score.

Watt has 2 tips and a sack, Cushing has 6 tackles, interception and a forced fumble

here's hoping Peterson will get punished, HARD

 

[whiteathlete33]

Hillis and Gerhart are afterthoughts so far. . .

What happened to the even split Charles and Hillis were supposed to get? Right now Charles has 8 carries to only 4 for Hillis. Let's see if they use him more in the second. Sure hope this isn't a preview of how the whole season will carry out for Peyton. On the bright side, Charles is small at 199 lbs and will probably get injured leaving Hillis to carry the load.

 

[Pie]

JJ Watt is killing it against the Dolphins. Has hurried the QB, made stops, and also managed to bat up 3 passes resulting in 2 INT's. Tannehill would be having a good game if Watt wasn't all over his lanes.

 

[dwid]

it went to 50/50 to "going with the hot hand" right before the game. I am sure Hillis will be doing more if he got the same amount.

the defense looked like they let Peterson walk in on that touchdown.

this is upsetting, is there any White runningback to cheer for as full time starter, pro or college? Zach Line seems to be it for now and those games are hard to find. Hopefully Burkhead comes back next week.

Blankenship and Getz.

 

[backrow]

Hillis has no running room (even announcers noticed).

 

[Riddlewire]

Thom Brennaman just pointed out the problem. "There's been virtually zero running room available for Hillis".
Yeah, because every run for him is exactly the same. A single-back dive up the middle on first down. The Falcons expect it now.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Coby Fleener is playing well with 3 catches for 51 yards!

 

[Don Wassall]

Jake Locker with a 29 yard TD pass. He has over 200 yards passing early in the third quarter.

 

[bearclaw500]

on a 4th and 1 the redskins go for it. RG III flushed out of the pocket and throws it up for grabs in the end zone. The ref calls a defensive pass interference that did not happen. The next play the redskins score a 1 yd TD run.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Only 1 catch a piece for Walter and Welker so far.

 

[Riddlewire]

Dontari Poe was a disastrous pick for Kansas City.
Not so much because he's a bust, but because they needed to pick DeCastro instead.

 

[backrow]

i thought KC's o-line is supposed to be good. Hillis has to break tackles deep in the backfield! -3 yards on his last run... wtf

Kyle Bosworth just had a nice tackle for a loss on Harvin.

guess who's going to get a ball now close to the end zone. Peterson or Gerhart? :dork:

Watt with another huge play.

Brandon Marshall with MULTIPLE drops in the end zone...

 

[Leonardfan]

I am not too worried about Griffin. Just like SCAM last year once their is enough game film to study on the blackskins offense the adjustments will be made.

 

[backrow]

TD Scott Chandler for Bills who are getting pummeled by nearly Tebow-less Jets

Greenway is all over the place. 12 tackles already, few passes batted down as well.

 

[Don Wassall]

Locker is injured, after McCarthy's injury earlier. The two Titans to root for the most both hurt, hopefully neither seriously.

 

[seattlefan]

Not watching the MIN game, only box score. Gerhart only 5 carries, Harvin has 4. I don't like when they run Harvin, it's like a slight to Gerhart. They did that 2011 before AP was injured, Harvin would get a lot of backup carries instead.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Convick with three picks on the day. Luck had a poor showing.

 

[Don Wassall]

Vick throws his 4th interception, returned for a TD, lowly Browns leading the Eagles early in the 4th quarter.

 

[Leonardfan]

Is Hillis injured? I saw Draughns was getting carries.

 

[Leonardfan]

The Browns "braintrust" look like geniuses using a top 3 pick on an RB and another first rounder on an overaged QB. Way to push Hillis out of town and bench Colt McCoy you caste walrus.
