Eli and the Giants seem to ALWAYS have these weird, just straight, UGLY games.

Yet, they pull their heads out of their ass later.

Five minutes into the first Monday night game, my power goes out. Awesome.

Watching this game I can't help but think in their desire to get back to the old ways..scUM took a giant step backward offensively.

 

[Buckeneye]

I'm starting Alfred and the Skins D is going to bone me hard if they force their offense to pass so damn much

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Crazy first half stats.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Looks like Chip Kelly's offense will work just as nicely in the NFL. What an absolutely dominating first half performance by the Eagles.

 

[Buckeneye]

Jesus Christ....

RG3 isn't a pocket passer. Never has been. I wondered what would Happen when you take him out of that pistol with the option. Threat.


Now we know.

 

[Buckeneye]

Holy fuck. McCoy get faster??

I have a hard time believing this offense will last an entire season. I just can't fathom with the amount of touches some of these guys are getting, that some of them won't end up getting significantly injured. Obviously, injuries happen to anyone, but the chances are definitely increased in this style with a lot of downfield blocking and just simple touches on the football. Shady already has 20 carries in the first half. That's definitely not sustainable with someone who's had injury concerns before & throughout the offense (Vick & D. Jackson namely). Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the show like the rest of you, but I just can't see this being maintained at this rate over the course of an entire season.

Holy fuck. McCoy get faster??

That move he put on that dude???!!?? WTF was that? Side saddle juke?

For you Fantasy guru's out there.

Report: Surgery for Shane Vereen

New England Patriots running back Shane Vereen needs surgery to repair a small broken bone in his wrist and will miss a few weeks, Fox Sports reported Monday.

Vereen suffered the injury early in Sunday's season-opening victory over the Buffalo Bills, according to the report, but played the entire game. Vereen did not practice Monday, according to the team's practice report.

Obviously important if you have Ridley, or Vereen & were excited by his career game on Sunday.
