NFL Preseason thread

Justin Forsett - Stud.

I am hoping he makes the team and steals some carries. What the **** why did Charlie Frye play the whole game, I would rather watch Seneca.

Start weeping now, Rosie: Tarvaris Jackson hurt his knee. Extent of the injury unknown.

One word came to mind when I saw that on the wire tonight: Karma.

Oz, are you saying that because you think the Vikings should have tried to trade for Favre?

No, I was thinking that because of the Packers leveling tampering charges for allegedly trying to get Favre.

I didn't get that either. I thought they were cleared of the tampering allegations.

 

[Rosie]

The Vikings were cleared. It was a bogus charge by the Packers.

So sorry Oz, I fail to see how karma plays into this.

Some honk on Fox Sports Radio this morning was saying Seneca Wallace wants to move to WR.

 

[pallister]

With the injuries Seattle has at WR, Wallace may have no choice.

Somebody's in the market for a veteran backup QB tomorrow.
The Patriots are crashing and burning in the Pirate Ship right now.

Chris Simms, heading back to New England with the Pats!

Didn't realize they had been cleared, my apologies.

Anyone else thinking Brady's "foot injury" is a lot more serious than--gasp!--the Patriots are letting on?

Sure would be fun to see the Genius try to coach without Wonder Boy at QB.

Coming soon to Foxboro: Vinny Testaverde!!!

My guess is this will be like Randy Moss, circa 2007 -- he won't play all preseason, making people wonder, then tear it up when the season comes.

 

[BYH]

That's just as likely.

Rumors floating about an MRI on that sore foot. Fanboard stuff (so believe it at your own peril), but interesting nonetheless ...

I'll say one thing about the Browns, they looked good with the brown pants.

I actually liked the orange or white pants better, which is odd to say.

How about Errand Boy saying that it's an injury to the same area as the one he had at the Super Bowl, but different?

You'd think they'd remember the last time they tried to get cute--with Brady "limping" thru NYC--they lost the Super Bowl.

Good thing the Browns wore the brown pants tonight, because I think they **** themselves somewhere around 8:15. The heavy hand of reality is a ***** sometimes.

And those pants were awful. Even the announcers openly bagged on them during the second half.

 

[93Devil]

I like the brown pants.

Preseason means nothing unless a player is hurt. They are still the dog the Steelers need to be better than this season to make the playoffs, and I am not sure that will happen this year.

 

[outofplace]

Nice to see that under pressure, the Bengals still don't care how much of a dirtbag a player is. A couple of injuries at wide receiver and they are ready to bring Chris Henry back.

Not that any other NFL team turns its nose up at talented players of questionable character, but nobody does it quite as much as the Bengals.

Huh?

I know Johnson and Houshmandzadeh are injured, but there had to be someone else out there the Bungals could have signed.
