Around the NFL Week 7

I know it's not Sunday yet, but let's go ahead and start a fresh thread for this weekend.

Let's start with this bit of kind of shocking news. Olin Kreutz has decided he's done. No more passion for the game.

Re: Around the NFL Week 7

Wow. That's so odd. Most guys tend to think about that stuff at the end of a season going forward. Not that he played well this year anyway, but that's a hard spot for the Saints. Kind of a dick move if you ask me. You can't tell me this guy didn't have this feeling somewhat going into the season. That he just had an epiphany all of a sudden week 7. If you think you might not want to play and could wind up calling it quits mid-season, don't do it. Just think if he had done that to the Bears. Their already bad line would be even worse.

Re: Around the NFL Week 7

Tomlinson is getting a start vs. SD this week...some type of "ceremonial" start. His role should stay the same though, unless he gets hot.

Carson Palmer starting is a game I'd love to see. I can't imagine he'll be very effective just days after joining the Raiders and not playing for so long. Going to be interesting for sure.

I agree. Excited to see Palmer .... BUT..... The skins and raiders are both on at 1:00... So that kinda sucks.

He might have 10-30 plays on a wristband for him to call this week. The rest of the game will be the McFadden show. The last thing the Raiders want is to have a QB who hardly knows the playbook be the main man. We all know how Kerry Collins and John Beck looked when they had little time to learn the playbook.

Yeah, it was unkind to do to the Saints.

In his defense, maybe he was having negative feelings but could not determine whether he had lost passion for football itself or just for the Bears. If so, it would take a few weeks in a change of scenery to realize that it was football that was the issue.

Well, I think part of it is that he's walking out and leaving the money on the table.
