Falcons | Koenen misses four field goals
Sun, 17 Sep 2006 1433 -0700

The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons PK Michael Koenen missed four field goals during the team's Week 2 game. All were from 40 yards and in. That might bring an end to the Falcons' plan to let him handle both the kicking and punting duties.

 

He's worse than Clemson's kicker.

 

That'll bite them down the road.

The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns S Brian Russell's high hit knocked off Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson's helmet on the Bengals' final pass of their Week 2 game, leaving his white No. 85 jersey spotted with blood. Johnson had still had glassy eyes and several stitches just below his chin when he emerged from the trainer's room. He was too disoriented to conduct an interview. "I talked to Chad," QB Carson Palmer said. "He's a little loopy. He's a little out of it."

Eagles | Kearse carted into the locker room
Sun, 17 Sep 2006 1303 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles DE Jevon Kearse (knee) has been carted into the locker room. He was injured during overtime of the team's Week 2 game.

 

Well, Miami is another team struggling. Saw zero of the game, but the term I heard with Culpepper was "limping around."

Tampa looks legitmately worse than us. Chris Simms is certainly taking his next step, right out the door.

Broncoes struggled to win. Plummer was awful, and oops, where is the running game in Denver?

 

Yeah, but Im never one to let the fact that other teams' struggles make ours anyhow better. Fuck Tampa, fuck the Dolphins, and fuck all those other guys doing poorly. All I know is that the Falcons and Saints are 2-0, ATL is already vying to take the division, and we're 0-2.

The fact that those other guys are 0-2 doesnt make me feel any better.
