Week 1 NFL Thoughts.....

I thought that Geico commercial with Orakpo was only local to the DMV here. That's surprising. I didn't know Orakpo was a big enough name to have a national commercial, I mean, he's a good player but...

He's not, that's why the Caveman has to announce his full name and who he is.

I mean really, WhoTF at Geico sat there and said: "We need to get Brian Orakpo as a spokesperson!!!" Aside from most people not knowing who he is, his acting chops aren't even equivalent to Keanu Reeves in these commercials.

Count me as someone who thought they were just local. There has to be someone better out there.

As far as Keanu Reeves is concerned........

You are absolutely right about the Cowboys Oline getting away with murder that game. Our defensive line was getting held the entire game. Hey, they got away with it. I guess we are the dumb ones for not doing it right back to them.

Right, because the Giants didn't hold at all. And definitely not on their only big play of the evening.

Week 1 comments from games I was able to see:

*The reason Tony Romo gets a bad rep is the same reason he's labeled great at times. First and 30, needing a field goal to put the game away, and you throw a jump ball up to Austin and hope he comes down with it? Just a bone headed play that worked in his favor this time. I love Romo and his talents, and if he eliminated dumb mistakes I'd say he would be a top six QB in this league.

A) That play was designed that way (or at least audibled. Look at the communication between the two pre-snap)

B) Eli Manning has made his "clutch" label off the "prayer" throw, so I'm not quite seeing your point.

C) Romo's efficiency numbers are right on par with the so-called "elite" QBs in the league. "Dumb mistakes" apply to everybody, even Brady, Brees and Rodgers. He makes far less of them than the perception says.
