Hate to hear of anyone getting injured, but it'll help us for now.

And that right there is why casual fans never understood the magnificent play of Chris Gamble. Quiet guy who just shut down half the field on every passing play. If Horn ends up almost as good as Gamble, then we're going to be doing great.

If your worst DB only gives up four receptions for 58 yards and no TDs, well, man, your team is doing well. And we actually saw Jackson in on making tackles. That's a huge improvement for him. Jackson is fine.

Hope he recovers quickly and fully. He was holding his own out there.

I'm amazed his guts didn't squirt out like a stepped on tube of toothpaste with those guys on top of him. Tough kid.

Everyone keeps saying that now, except me. If we post another five win season, they won't survive. If we don't make the playoffs, mark my words, at least one of the coordinators will be sacrificed. Let's not dwell on it and just enjoy the win. Next week will be tougher and more important. This week, we had to kill some ghosts for our young QB. Mission accomplished on that.

There's more to unpack in the decision making process of that one play than there was in understanding the Snyder vs Whedon JLA directors' cuts. Just all kinds of stuff swirling around there that will probably drive us crazy trying to interpret. In the end, it didn't matter. Probably best to just let it go and move on.

Our defense was timid last year, old lady-like at times. Yesterday, they did great for the first half and then were fair the second half. I'm going to need more than this to say that he can hold his own in this league.

We punted from the 33. That means the coach looked over at the kicker and decided that he'd rather just give the football to the other team than risk a 50-yarder.

Maybe Chase Blackburn isn't very good at coaching kickers. Or returners. Or... could make a big point of this if you wanted to.

Best laugh I've had all day!

He played really well for a WR3 in his first game. He's going to be solid to special out there. Just wait and see.

Thanks, no I didn't get a chance to see it. I think he's out to sink the organization until he gets traded somewhere. Not our team, not my worry. But it might mean that New Orleans is nowhere near as good as that blowout makes them seem. Or it could mean nothing.

My question is how bad are the Packers? It looks on paper like New Orleans was completely dominant against what should have been an excellent team (based on prior performance). Or did Green Bay look like a team collapsing on itself under the weight of the Aaron Rodgers singularity?

Except the market was over crowded and they would rather have a generational tight end at this point. Look, the guy was good to great as a QB. While he might deserve to go out like this, he's raking in some big bucks by staying put there. Now if we can just treat him like that two more times...

I think it all goes back to the quarantine tapings at the training center. They were so desperate to cut costs that any well-paid bookers/creatives were shown the door. They probably went back to Brother Love because he could remember the days when TV wrasslin' was filmed in a small studio. Honestly, though, I'm just tired of 25 minute who cares matches that are just the repeat of last week and the week before. They've taken the exotic triple threat match and made it humdrum, cliched and overdone. They've relegated all luchadors to the 24-7 chase mob. They keep dragging the old celebs out of retirement to be monsters and have basically just stolen the Godfather and given it a South Pacific spin. Next up Jeff Hardy will find the Ruby Wrasslin Boots and embark on a journey with Lince Dorado, the Swiss Cyborg and Ricochet to take down Shinsuke Nakamura and his flying Boogz monkey to save the Emerald City at Crown Jewels. How about 12 Angry Men reimagined as a six-man tornado tag team match? Geez, it can't be that difficult!

There's a lot about Fox that clings desperately to the olden days.

Yeah, watched the clip expecting some sort of blow-up and pointed comments about some player from action on the field. Just a weak sauce thing where he gave the "what gives" shrug to some guy who walked across the view. Really, I was just ticked that I watched the clip for that nothing burger.

Just a guy walking across the front during the press conference. Really not worth discussion.

I've been saying this is the "prove it" year for Rhule, Brady and Snow. That was the first game. They got the win and for now, that's what we have. Nothing has been decided, not enough evidence either way at this point.

I was just waiting for the short, chopped kick, chaos on the field and DJ running it back to the 10. Who in their right mind would have imagined the rookie PK for the frikkin' Jets comes out for his first time on an NFL field and booms a 50 yard punt perfectly? Ammendola was out there, available at the start of this offseason (he couldn't find a team last year). Somehow he was missed in our search. Go figure.

Just wave your hand then catch the punt. And leave DJ out of special teams, it's not worth the risk.

I defended him all last year. He spent so much time covering for frikkin' Tahir Whitehead and trying to get other guys into position that he didn't have much of an opportunity to even play his position. Now, he's back on the trajectory that he had been on before. He played like a Panthers linebacker is supposed to play. He lived up to it and if he keeps the pressure on, he'll be rightfully among those greats. Excellent play, excellent effort.

Honestly, as long as they don't muff the punt or fumble it's okay. Let the kick offs bounce into the end zone, quit trying to make it from the one. Fair catch all of the damn punts... you aren't going to get more than four-five yards there. Just secure it and get the offense back out there.

They basically held up against probably the strongest positional group for the Jets. One sack for the game is an acceptable level I guess and pressures (7) happen. Rushing plays, however, lacked any sort of steady push and pulling guards were so bad that the whole idea of it was shelved quickly, turning the run game one dimensional. Luckily, CMC finds a way no matter what. Do we even send our O-line guys to the weight room or just down to Golden Corral after practice?
