If the NFL could do it the way the college football does it there would be no issue. For some reason the NFL, like so many other institutions I could name but will not for the sake of keeping the peace, has a talent for taking something simple like the boogaloo and completely effing it up.

I can think of a lot of old rules I'd like to see back.

I like replay when used very little during a game. Quit slowing the game down. Now they replay every touchdown? Ridiculous.

So much for tempo.

Good points. Raider fan? Even though Al Davis is their owner, they've got a lot of things to be excited about. If McFadden was healthy and playing, both teams would have been in the 40s... easily. They're a pretty tough team, especially at home. Some consistent quarterback play and who knows.

That last statement of "20-17 Raiders led when the starters for both sides left the field" is a sure indication that the Raiders full compliment of starters surely would have whipped the Saints in a real game that counted in the regular season no doubt (sarcastic voice here).

Be sure to bring all your starters to the party next time and we'll bring ours too! The Saints were playing without their starting left tackle on offense in Carl Nicks with 2nd year pro apprentice guard Brian De La Puente starting in his spot for the first time ever in an NFL game, let alone on the National stage, Lance Moore was out with a groin injury, Roman Harper was out with a fractured/splinted ring finger, Aubrayo Franklin was out at DT, Sedrick Ellis was far from 100% in his short-lived start at DT and Tracy Porter still isn't 100% after offseason knee surgery (scope), just so you know...

With the way Bell looks, is there a chance we keep five running backs?

Where are the Drew doubters now?----O-Line looked better

I still have concerns about the D. Tackling is atrocious and I was having Marshawn Lynch flashbacks... Could NOT enjoy the otherwise outstanding offensive performance because of it!

This is what really gripes my butt.

Here we are going into the 4th week and the next game is the most lack-luster of all. When is the NFL ever going to fix this problem? Why am I the only one that cares?

skymike · 08-29-2011, 07:13 AM

dont get the NFL fixing nothing. everything is fine like it is. you dont want "fixing." trust me... you THINK you want "fixing," but really, you dont. smile and be happy that there are puppies.

I LOVE PRESEASON! its the most ... wonderful time.... of the yeaaaaaaaar!

Its like being a kid on december 23rd. (christmas adam)
