NFL Week 3 - "Someone go down, someone go down"

[Akiyama]

The fuck, how is Alex Smith not the most paid?

[Tweek]

idunno but he's accepted pay reductions and shit

[Melena]

He signed this year as a free agent. Last year was the final year on his contract, hence the relatively low salary.

[tyven]

damn, kellen getting that good cheese. i honestly feel he is under utilized. guy can still beast, this is the first time his whole career where he isnt coming from an off season surgery

[Melena]

NY Giants at Philadelphia If Philly can't beat the B squad, there's a problem

Jacksonville at Carolina Underdog pick. I have a feeling Cam is going to have his first bad game here.

New England at Buffalo If the Raiders can hang 30+ on the Bills, Brady can hang 50+

Miami at Cleveland Miami finally wins one.

San Francisco at Cincinnati Homer pick and I admit it

Denver at Tennessee Orton needs more help

Detroit at Minnesota Can McNabb bust 100 yards passing again?

Baltimore at St. Louis Baltimore better play like it's pissed off after last week.

NY Jets at Oakland I won't be able to see the game since the Raiders don't sell out, but no way they lose the home opener.

Kansas City at San Diego KC should ask for a mercy rule

Arizona at Seattle Seattle may be the only team KC could beat this year if they played.

Atlanta at Tampa Bay Tampa Bay I feel was overhyped.

Green Bay at Chicago Cutler is going to be a cripple by the end of the year if the O Line doesn't step up.

Houston at New Orleans Breese should be good for 350 yards and 3 td's

Pittsburgh at Indianapolis You came out of retirement for this Collins?

Washington at Dallas If Romo play's, he'll be knocked out by halftime.

[Valisk]

I have a feeling Cam is going to have his first bad game here.

wut?

[Chun Liroy]

[Melena]

wut?

Meaning he's going to be something like 200 yards passing with 3 picks and no td's. While his first two games have been losses, he's done enough to keep the Panthers in the game without shitting the bed.

[Valisk]

Against the Jags?! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, heh. I think it will be quite the opposite. 300+ passing, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1st win of the season.

[archibaldcrane]

I hope he throws for 400 again in a loss.

[Melena]

Against the Jags?! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, heh. I think it will be quite the opposite. 300+ passing, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1st win of the season.

Already been plenty of weird shit this year. Henne throwing for 400+ against NE, Baltimore getting roflstomped last week. Jags D got lit up pretty good last week against the Jets, but they did a good job of containing the Titans.

[Tweek]

14-2 last week.. feel like this will be a rough week for a lot of people though

Vick Practices

Spoiler: show

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick returned to practice Thursday, just four days after he suffered a concussion against the Falcons in Atlanta.

During the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Vick was seen throwing passes to assistant coaches, jogging around with teammates and participating in all the drills that the other quarterbacks, Mike Kafka and Vince Young, participated in.

Vick's participation indicates that he's been cleared by the NFL-appointed independent neurologist, required under the league's 2009 concussion policy for a player to "return to football activities."

With a huge media contingent watching, Vick arrived at practice in full pads and a helmet. He watched practice from the sideline on Wednesday afternoon, after participating in a morning walkthrough.

In order to help protect against future concussions, Vick is planning to refit his helmet with Kevlar padding, the CEO of Unequaled Technologies told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Wednesday.

Rob Vito told ESPN that he will meet with Vick in Philadelphia on Friday to refit his helmet to help Vick deal with the post-concussive blows to the head in Sunday's home opener against the New York Giants.

"The 100-year-old foam everybody is using in helmets is antiquated," Vito said. "Concussions are the injury of our age and really they should not be happening anymore."

Vick became a spokesman for Unequaled Technologies in 2010, when the company designed a Kevlar vest for him after he suffered a rib injury against the Washington Redskins in Week 4.

Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns in a 35-31 loss to Atlanta, but couldn't continue after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into one of his teammates, right tackle Todd Herremans. He was replaced by Kafka. Young, who was signed to be the backup, also missed the first two games with a hamstring injury.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin, in a conference call with the media earlier this week, said he expected Vick to play, and that New York was not putting together a different game plan without Vick in it.

Vick has only played a full 16-game regular season once in his career. He missed three games with a rib injury last year.

Giants' Manningham, Ose Miss Practice

Spoiler: show

New York Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham and defensive end Osi Umenyiora were not practicing with the team during the portion of Thursday's session that was open to the media, making it less likely they will play on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Manningham, who suffered a concussion on Monday night against St. Louis, has undergone a battery of tests and examinations this week. He was examined by independent neurologist Dr. Teena Shetty on Tuesday and will continue to follow protocol for players who suffer head injuries before being cleared.

Manningham suffered the concussion in the first half and said his neck "stiffened" up, but he was held out of the second half after taking a baseline test.

"He feels better even now, but he has to go through a whole bunch of things and every one of them, and rightfully so, has to be signed off on," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Wednesday. "And that's not the case just yet. We will see what the next day brings."

The Giants were optimistic that Umenyiora, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Aug. 19, could return to practice this week. But with just one day of practice remaining before the Giants take on the Eagles, that appears in doubt.

In fact a source told ESPNNewYork.com that not only is Umenyiora not expected to play this week, he also might not be ready for next week against Arizona.

Umenyiora worked out Thursday on the turf field behind the team's practice facility without his helmet on and rode the stationary bike. He did not participate in the team's walk-through on Wednesday and was being considered day to day.

"One day it looks really great and then the next day it is perhaps not as good," Coughlin said.

Tight end Travis Beckum (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday and was out on the practice field again on Thursday. He told reporters on Wednesday that he hopes to play on Sunday.

Beckum has not appeared in a game yet this season

Colts' Collins Limited in Practice, Should be ok Sunday

Spoiler: show

The Colts don't expect a sore throwing shoulder to keep Kerry Collins out Sunday night against Pittsburgh.

The injury limited Collins at Wednesday's practice, but coach Jim Caldwell says Collins should do more work on Thursday.

It's unclear when the 38-year-old Collins was injured during last week's loss to Cleveland.

The only other quarterbacks on Indy's active roster are Peyton Manning, who is expected to miss at least two months after having neck surgery, and Curtis Painter, who took some snaps with the starters Wednesday. Undrafted rookie Mike Hartline is on the practice squad.

Caldwell says Manning could be in the coaches' booth Sunday if doctors clear him.
