NFL Week 3 running thread...

Holy ****. Chiefs win.

 

[D-3 Fan]

Looks like the Packers are going to be 3-0.

What the hell was Minnesota doing throwing short passes when they needed to get down field to tie or win the game? I don't understand the play calling that Childress was making.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

I can't ****ing believe the Chiefs won that game.

That was about as ****-poor a first half I've ever seen.

Holy ****.

And I hope the ******* who listed Westbrook as "questionable" dies a slow, painful death.

 

[Angola!]

Seahawks on the board first!

Maybe they were letting Herm Edwards call the plays.

Between Allen, Hali and Derrick Johnson, KC finally has a damn pass rush. And it should be noted that while the Chiefs haven't exactly played any juggernauts the first three weeks, the defense is playing its ass off, especially considering they're on the field 40 minutes every game.

The Browns somehow worked their way into a third-and-40 situation. Don't see that every day.

Herm Edwards would run it up the middle.

They did. For 13 yards.

Get used to it. That's all he calls, dinks and dunks, regardless of the score.

The Vikings are the worst team in football to watch, regardless of whether they win or lose.

The Packers, on the other hand, are 3-0 and damn exciting.

 

[JoelHammond]

Damn right, Zeke. I'm excited.

Thought they were flying under the radar a bit, this win is going to have people talking about the Packers.

And BTW, can we officially put to rest the nonsense from last week where one of the TV morons (Jaws, I think) didn't have Favre as a top-5 QB of all time?

The Chiefs not only have the worst general manager (Carl Peterson), head coach (Herm Edwards) and offensive coordinator (Mike Solari) in the NFL, they also have the worst starting quarterback (Damon Huard).

Huard has managed to throw a forward pass past the line of scrimmage, fumble and throw a screen pass on second-and-20 -- all in the first half.

I picked the Chiefs to go 4-12 before the season, with one of the wins against the Texans. Now I'm not confident they'll win even one game.

So you would prefer Kansas City to be led by Matt Millen, Norv Turner and Kelly Holcomb?

I'm confident they'll win one game. They just did. Get used to it. This is Herm ball. Until Sgt. Peterson leaves, mass changes won't happen.

Randy Moss's second touchdown catch was quite impressive. It seemed like the Bills had really good coverage on Moss all day, but his height and skill set assisted him in making the grabs. The addition of Moss also helped Jabar Gaffney score a TD, as he was wide open in the end zone because Buffalo was forced to double Moss nearby.

Bills run defense played poorly and Maroney and Morris both had strong games. Morris is an underrated bull and Maroney looked much better than he did in the first two games. Only Maroney's second career 100-yard game.

It may not show in the box score, but Junior Seau looked in vintage form today, playing a disruptive force and consistantly getting pressure on Edwards. He was one of the Pats best players on defense today, right up there with Ellis Hobbs, Asante Samuel, and Adalius Thomas.

Offensive line played very well as has been the norm thus far in '07. Logan Mankins is a beast. Brady was near flawless -- 23 for 29, 311 yards, 4 TD's and 0 INT's. Can't play much better than that.

Feel bad for Buffalo, though. All those injuries on a young team is never a good thing. Losing that stud rookie linebacker Posluszny, perhaps for the year, is especially awful. And their upcoming schedule is not easy by any means (Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, Jets, Bengals)...could they start 0-8?

Touchdown Seahawks! After Palmer throws a pick, Hasselbeck hits Branch on a 42-yard bomb. Seahawks lead 14-10 late in the 2nd quarter.

How can Favre not be in the top five all-time? What more does he have to do?

Huge win for the Pack. If the Bears stuggle on offense and lose tonight, Green Bay has to become the division's front-runner, especially with Favre playing at a Pro Bowl level.

LT was awful again today: 22 carries, 62 yards.

Well, the Steelers' defense finally gave up a touchdown. Of course, they were up 21 points in the fourth quarter when it happened.

The 49ers were definitely a step up from the competition the Steelers have faced so far this season. Their defense is really good, especially the cornerbacks.

But the Steelers completely shut down Frank Gore, got another big game from Willie Parker (133 yards) and moved to a pretty impressive 3-0.

Does that take at least a little luster off the Patriots' big win last week? I know they have looked great three straight weeks, but the Chargers really don't look good so far.

49ers are one run clogging DT and one strong WR from being a very good team.

I watched the 1 pm games in a bar, but I did not need any commentry to understand the shots of Favre sitting on the bench by himself at the end of the game while his defense stood. The old warhorse putting it together for one last battle in 2007. I am rooting for the Pack in the back of my mind every week now. I would give my left nut to be in the room with Favre after that one. I just hope we have 7-8 more games like that this season.

You know NFL Films is drooling.

God, the NFL is great.
