Some of them are quite clever, like the crying Patriot and the Falcon trying to crack out of its shell.

Which was your favorite?

He should have had surgery several weeks ago, but instead, he foolishly decided to play through the pain and likely worsened the damage to his knee.  For his sake and the Charger’s sake, lets hope he recover’s quickly and completely from surgery.

Merriman’s Done

It’ll be interesting to see how Matt Cassel handles this new role, having only thrown 33 passes in college and having only attempted 39 passes in the NFL prior to this season.  My guess is that he won’t be given much of a chance, since the Pats have Chris Simms and Tim Rattay set up for tryouts this week.  Really though, this just means that the Patriots won’t be near the juggernaut that they were last year.

But on the upside, Brady now gets to spend more time with Gisele Bundchen.

Brady done for the season

Rookie QB Matt Ryan threw a TD with his first NFL pass and the route was on.  Michael Turner set a franchise single-game rushing record, with 220 yards and scored 2 TDs.  Jerious Norwood added 93 yards and TD.

The Good

The offensive line opened huge holes for Norwood and Turner and allowed Ryan plenty of time to look down field and find his receivers (allowed 1 sack).  Ryan looked good but still showed signs of inexperience, forcing some throws into coverage.  But overall, he looked poised and managed the game very well.  If Turner and Norwood can continue to put up yards like they did today, then Ryan won’t be asked to win many games this year.  And that’s a good thing.

The Bad

As I mentioned above, Ryan still made some poor decisions, but that should improve with more reps.  The Falcons still had too many penalties (7 for 68 yards) and most were stupid penalties.

The Ugly

Pass coverage.  John Kitna was 24/33 for 262 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT.  John Kitna.  The Lions had receivers wide open all game long and the only time the Falcons got any significant pressure on Kitna was late in the game, when the Lions had basically stopped running the ball.  The Falcons need to work on improving their pass rush and their coverage in the secondary.  They’ve still got Delhomme (twice), McNabb, Brees (twice) and Rivers, all of whom could torch the Falcons secondary if they don’t improve.

Interesting Stat

Attendance was 62,310.  Not a full house, but a good start, considering the bad taste left in most Atlantan’s mouth after the Michael Vick/Bobby Petrino mess of last season.

Overall it was a good job by Falcons.  Their offensive line played well enough to allow the running game to flourish and that took the pressure off Ryan.  As long as they can continue to play like they did today, then Ryan has a real opportunity to develop into the franchise QB the Falcons badly need.

Falcons Whip Lions

I still think it’s all very funny…

Chad gets his wish: Ocho Cinco to appear on his jersey

This is obviously good news for the Patriots.  As I heard on PTI last night: The Patriots without Tom Brady are like… the Kansas City Chiefs.  Since he’s started 127 straight games, it’s hard to know for sure if that’s accurate, but it sounds about right to me.

Brady finally practices; should play on Sunday

Either way, they finally got some good news — Braylon Edwards and Derek Anderson both returned to the practice field.  They could be a lethal combination this season, so it’s great to see them playing together again.

Edwards and Anderson back on the practice field for the Browns

Ricky’s 2008 salary is a paltry $730,000, but could be increased with “easily achievable incentives”.  His 2009 salary is expected to be higher.

Ricky Williams signs one-year extension with Miami

I think it’s brilliant.  He’s always wanting to do the “next best thing”, so this fits right in with that.  I still think he’s an idiot, but this move had me laughing out loud, so that’s gotta count for something.

It’s Ocho Cinco for real now

Jones says he’s “always wanted to be part of the star” (playing for the Dallas Cowboys) and it understandably pleased with the reinstatement.

Goodell has made a lot of solid moves since he’s become the commish.  I agree that Jones should have been suspended, but I also agree that now’s the time to give him another chance.  Let’s see what he does with it…
