    Philip Rivers travels to New England to battle the cheaters!! LMAO! I hope he goes crazy on the pats. Mario, best of luck against my panthers! I have your defense in my fantasy league so shut the panthers out. Anyone going to the panthers game? If so, support Mario as loud as you can.

    I think the Patriots should have to forfeit any win in which they were actually caught cheating. Fines don’t mean squat to these guys, because they already have tons of money. Losing one or two draft picks doesn’t mean much either, as they can go out and buy free agents all day long (see first point). I say take their wins if they are caught cheating. Hit them where it hurts the most. They didn’t win fair and square, and everybody knows it, so why not? As much as I have applauded Goodell for taking the reins on the rampant disregard for rules and decency in the NFL, I think he actually dropped the ball on this one.

    They should have to vacate the first day of the draft for two years.

    Think that won’t hurt them? ask the T-Wolves.

    Here’s a decent write-up comparing Mario to Julius. From the Houston Chronicle

    ^for some reason I thought the article you linked would be about Mario and Julius HODGE….. its Sunday, nevermind.

  6. noah Says:

    The panthers are getting dominated. Houston has scored 31 unanswered points. Nick Goings decided the best thing to do when you take a kickoff seven yards deep was to run it out, fumbled, and Houston scored.

    ^^It’s kind of ironic that we hear such humble comments coming a product of the CTC school of thought, AND, on top of that, a kid who was selected as the first player in the NFL draft. It doesn’t really fit the MO, but it is very refreshing to have that type of personality out there in the limelight.

  8. noah Says:

    You mean like…Phillip Rivers?

  9. redfred2 Says:

    Yep, I guess so noah. Good point.

  10. BJD95 Says:

    Hope nobody had the Panthers in their survival pool…or the Bengals.

    I went with Da Bears.

  11. highstick Says:

    Hate to see the Panthers lose, but it makes it easier when the other team has a Wolfpack player on it that has been “dismissed by the media” as being unworthly of the Number 1 pick.

    I’d bet Julius Peppers is paying attention to Mario now!

  12. noah Says:

    Well, Mario Williams is no Reggie Bush.

    Bush ran for twenty-seven whole yards today. He averaged THREE whole yards a carry.

    That guy is a machine.

  13. redfred2 Says:

    The game wasn’t on in my area, so how did Mario look? Did he have a good game, get double teamed, or did they run away from him? Any comments about Williams vs Peppers from the guys in the booth?

  14. noah Says:

    I watched about half of the game and Williams was doing fine. He was getting a good push on his man. Looked like the Panthers were running away from him a lot.

  15. Wulfpack Says:

    ^1 tackle, 1 pass deflection. He looked ok, had a bone jaring hit on DeAngelo I believe. Panthers got down and barely ran the ball late in the game.

  16. Dr. BadgerPack Says:

    Give Reggie Bush some credit… he had a FANTASTIC personal foul.

  17. john of sparta Says:

    last year it was Saints…this year Texans.
    without video, how will the AFC win?

  18. packgrad2000 Says:

    AAAHHHH…Rivers first pass (and Chargers’ first play) is intercepted. Definitely looked very out of character for Philip.

  19. redfred2 Says:

    Not that Mario is there, YET, but are game plans and schemes so specialized nowdays that the presence of a single outstanding defensive talent can alter the thinking so much so that a team never has a chance from the onset?

    Or, maybe that’s all BS and it’s much simplier…the Panthers are just that bad.

  20. noah Says:

    The texans aren’t anywhere near as bad as people make them out to be. They have some good players, they just were getting killed on the lines.

    Mario is healthy and they added the rookie DT. On offense, they’ve finally got their OL healthy and cohesive and it’s paying off.

  21. highstick Says:

    Ugh, San Diego looked “snakebitten”!

  22. beowolf Says:

    The Patriots put on a clinic tonight. That 10-minute drive in the 4th quarter was unreal.

  23. BoKnowsNCS71 Says:

    Patriots are strong now but it’s a long season. What matters more is that Phillip leads them to a V in the playoffs.

  24. branjawn Says:

    redfred, i live in NY and haven’t been able to watch the Panthers either, until yesterday! go here, see first post http://packandpanther.blogspot.com/

  25. partialqualifier Says:

    The Chargers looked horrible! That was the worst defensive performance I have ever seen. I just watched Tom Brady walk off the field after the game..and his uniform is spotless!! He wasn’t touched all night! How in the hell do you fly all the way across the country and not hit Tom Brady all night?

    I am no fan of Marty-Ball but at least his teams were tough physically. Right now the Chargers can’t block or tackle well at all. There is a reason guys like Norv Turner don’t win, and usually it’s because their teams do not have the mental and physical toughness to sustain success week in and week out!

    Last night was pathetic.
