The NFL Kicked off with a long 5-day weekend, with plenty of division match ups, some huge hits and a few blowouts. Starting on Thursday 4th with last years Super Bowl winner NY Giants V Washington Redskins. The Giants dominated the 1st half but only scored a TD and 3x field goals, but with two minutes left in the half the Redskins had the ball and with 20 seconds to go they got a TD. The quality of the coaches in the NFL is highlighted in games like this when defence co-ordinators make adjustments and shut out opposing teams in the second half of the game. The Redskins were more successful running and throwing the ball in the second half,,however they couldn't penetrate The Giants goal line or even get close enough for a field goal.

Disaster struck in New England as The Patriots lost their star QB Tom Brady, who missed the pre-season and didn’t last the 1st quarter. Brady left the field with a knee injury that has been confirmed as an ACL tear and is the end of his '08 season.. The good news is The Patriots beat The Chiefs.





Arron Rogers #12 proved the naysayers wrong by having a blinding game as the new QB for Green Bay in the big lights of MNF. Throwing a few Favre like passes, 1x for a TD and even scoring a QB sneek TD that earned him the right of the Lambeau Leap. This is a Green Bay ritual were the TD scorer, jumps above the barrier and into the arms of the end zone fans.

Nice to hear new and old Metallica tracks used as background music, on the 2x MNF games every time they went to an ad breaks.
