Atleast it's not us 10 headlines from the week
So for fun just a quick run down of some other teams news. Not the good stuff either. Not to wollow in there problems but to make us feel better. Things in Detroit are better than we think right now. No I didn't provide links because this is all public and everywere. Sorry but the storys are abundant look them up, I'm lazy.
1. Washington Redskins name Rex Grossman starting QB. I guess Beck couldn't beat him out what does that say? Andrew Luck may as well plan on being shipped to Dan Snyders failure camp.
2 Colts QB Peyton Manning will likely be missing the 1st game atleast. His neck problems continue, Without Peyton the Colts look to Kerry Collins to pickup this offense and run it. Reggie Wayne has said he would rather it be Curtis Painter he feels the offense needs to be run by a QB who has been in the system awhile.
3. In other Colts news they hired Jim Tressel as game day consultant whatever that is. They also suspended him for 7 games. I guess on the count that he is still Jim Tressel.
4 Kansas Citys Breakout tight end from last season Tony Moeaki who was one of Cassels top targets was placed on IR. KC now needs to find someone who can step in and play TE for them with the preseason over.
5. Panthers have made Cam Newton the official starter for week one. Even though he was questionable atleast through the preseason Jimmy Claussen and Derrick Anderson didn't show enough for them not to start the #1 pick in the draft.
6. Denver Broncos starting QB is hands down Kyle Orton. Rumor has it Brady Quinn is his backup and Tim Tebows future is in question by some members in the front office.
7. Gronkowski family took a double hit this week. The Broncos cut former Lions TE Dan Gronkowski the same day the Dallas Cowboys cut FB Chris Gronkowski. I guess they will have to wait until another 50 Gronk kinds can play football before they have job security with the LA Gronkowskis.
8 Houston Texans sign WR Bryant Johnson. Thats right BJ now has the distinct honor of being showin up play after play by both Andre and Calvin Johnson. I wish him luck, He's gonna need it.
9. Titans have finally agreed to pay Chris Johnson so the hold out is over. For those keeping track he took 0 snaps in the new offense with his new QB. So as good as CJ2k is he is WAY behind the rest of the team.
10. Good old Buddy Ryan told his doctors to hold off on his cancer treatment. There is no way he is going to miss the Jets vs the Cowboys game. Well Buddy your the only one, Romo vs Sanchez does nothing for me but give me an urge to vomit.

bad news = good news in this case
man, the Chiefs look to be more of the red headed step child come Sept 18th! A reeling Cassel (if he plays at all) without a TE option is the worst case scenario when facing our D!

I swear the word during the game was that the chifs RB charles ghot injured also, but havnt seen it mentioned since?
Glad I passed on Manning for my fantasy team, he was falling to the 4th round in the mocks but I took Vick and waited until late for Cutler.

Most do, which is why he fell so far, i know vick will miss a few games, cutler has good upside for a back-up imo.
It was a pretty awkward draft for me, missed on all my lions, they were all going a round earlier then expected, plus ended up with 3 bears on my bench,.

I didn't overdraft just to get one.
I needed a kicker and took a guy that’s going to score a lot of points this year…. no?
I was actually thinking the Chiefs should try to get Dan Gronk
Could be a nice fill in as a free agent

I was thinking the same thing. The question is whether Danny Gronk ever learned to block in space.
I never met him, but he was family to me... R.I.P. Tom Kowalski We will all miss you.
So wait....
Romo vs Sanchez….is there a coin toss at the start of the game to decide who gets to put it to who? Sorry, had to ask.

Dallas and Jets will be interesting to me because of the Ryan vs Ryan. I could care less about the QB match up.

Cool thing is, there are only a couple of McDBags players left in Denver
6. Denver Broncos starting QB is hands down Kyle Orton. Rumor has it Brady Quinn is his backup and Tim Tebows future is in question by some members in the front office.
Soon I’ll be able to tell people I am a Broncos fan again…
$.02
Game on!
Hah! You guys are looking better under Foxy and Elway, but it is too early to tell
I like your pass rush from the backers, but that DL needs help! Secondary is rebuilding yet too. Still some nice pieces on offense but it will be a few years before this is a “John Fox” team. Working with leftovers from the mad hatter is going to be a challenge for them.
It is too bad that McD got fired so fast, I was hoping that he would trade us Champ Bailey ;)

Without Manning...
The Colts could be the worst in the league. They have some weapons, but is that because of Peyton? I personally believe so for not all, but many of them.
I don't think so
They are still a very talented team, playoff team? No.

my above post was pose to go in the FF thread and I duno how to move it told ya up front iam not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Orton is a better qb than he is given credit for.
If Tebow had not been thrown in last year + no regime change the last few games, he would have lit it up. When McDaniels left, he went downhill fast, (not saying McDaniels deserved to say, just that Orton thrived in that offense.)
Did you guys see the size of that chicken?
