if TV50 in Memphis
messes up again and shows me some stupid movie instead of the game, I will be heading to Home Depot tomorrow to patch all the holes in wall created from objects being hurled in anger….
:)
Here's hoping...
That the offense is firing on all cylinders and the D is as strong as ever. It would also be nice to see ol’ Crazy Legs take one to the house.
Not playing.
Here is the list of players not suiting up tonite:
Lendale White
Albert Haynesworth
Keith Bulluck
Nick Harper
Chris Carr
Cary Williams
David Stewart
Lavelle Hawkins
Rob Bironas.
Nick Harper?
Wow, they are being conservative.

Game in Chattanooga area
is on Fox
Someone once said "Vince Young bleeds two toned blue!" But I disagree, because The Great One Doesnt Bleed!!
Real quick...
Did anybody watch any of the 49ers’ game last night?
Man, they looked GREAT! Say what you want to about San Fran, they DESTROYED the Bears. That Mike Martz offense looks terrific.

Evening all
Dave from The Falcoholic here, here to answer your Falcon-related questions and get made fun of. How’s everybody doing?
heh
Welcome! I am, actually, pretty excited to see how Matt Ryan plays tonite. I hope he does well, but not tooo well.
Be glad Haynesworth's not playing. Ryan's life expectancy just went up!

You have to get NFLs Field Pass. But it's free for preseason.
And only about $40 for the whole year.

about the bears niners game last night
as a bears fan, i already see that its gonna be a long season unless the defense can return to form of old. 49ers just ripped them everyway.
the bears offense was good surprisingly, but i’m not convinced Orton is that great until he is consistent for a couple of weeks.
Two throws. Two WRs who can't catch the catchable.
Urgh.

Being sacked by Kearse
At this point in his career, it’s like getting crushed under a wave of marshmallow.
You can say what you want about Kearse
but you cannot refer to anything about him as a marshmallow. The guy is still a specimen.
Titans Blogger at Music City Miracles
Oh, I know
Just comparing the embarrassment factor. I wouldn’t have thought the guy had anything left in the tank.
Seriously? Have you seen that dude's body?
Marshmallow is not the adjective I would use.
