The Philadelphia Eagles upset the football Gods by their blasphemous statements about being a "Dream Team", about being the NFL's next dynasty and a whole host of unholy indiscretions. Karma is a bitch, and apparently coach Andy Reid is fast becoming the next victim.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS INSPIRED DARTBOARD
This Buccaneers inspired Tampa Bay Armchair Quarterback dartboard is great for taking out any postgame frustrations, or Greg Schiano-like aggression you might be harboring.

CAROLINA PANTHERS INSPIRED DART BOARD
The Carolina Panthers take on the World Champion New York "Football" Giants tonight on Thursday Night Football (TNF). The Panthers are catching a bit of a break with Hakeem Nicks, Ahmad Bradshaw, Domenik Hixon and David Diehl all out of the game which will be televised on the NFL Network. The pregame, "Thursday Night Kickoff" starts at 6:00pm.
Can't sit through the extra 2-hours of pregame on Thursday nights? No sweat, get yourself a hobby like darts to pass the time. Seriously! Join the growing number of Armchair Quarterbacks that are doing something productive with their time, like becoming proficient at the ancient and noble game of darts.

BUFFALO BILLS "MARIOS" CEREAL AND DARTS
The Buffalo Bills inspired Armchair Quarterback dartboard would be a great addition to any Bills living room, bar, man cave or any place you watch the game. Need something for the kitchen? Stock your cupboard full of that new "MariO's" cereal featuring DE Mario Williams, and you'll be set.

ARE THE 49ERS REALLY THE NFL'S "IT" TEAM?
Mark Purdy of the San Jose Mercury News suggests in his column that the San Francisco 49ers are the "IT" team in the NFL. Well, to be fair, he's reporting on recent murmurings in the bay area that have now reached a certain audible crescendo of confidence. It is a feeling shared with some of the talking heads around the country that suggest that San Francisco might be making a Super Bowl run, particularly after beating the Packers in Green Bay in week one.
I'll go ahead and dismiss his assertion that the big problem that the 49ers need to overcome is overconfidence. Even if that were a real issue, the problem for the 49ers is that we are just now heading into week two and other dreamers, most notably Armchair Quarterbacks of the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos, also have similar visions of grandeur for their franchises. Overconfidence? No, just a little delusional.

THROWING DARTS AT THE CHICAGO ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK
In Chicago, they're throwing figurative darts at QB Jay Cutler and the Bears offensive line this morning. We all get it, and we've all been there. A loss to the Green Bay Packers sucks, especially a 23-10 loss on national TV on Thursday Night Football (TNF). It's enough to make you blurt out explicatives all day long. As an alternative, and a means to take out frustration in no one in particular, they could be throwing literal darts at the Chicago Armchair Quarterback instead.

GREEN BAY DARTS AND A THURSDAY NIGHT WIN
Well, it's official. Mike Greenberg from ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning just predicted that the Chicago Bears will beat the Green Bay Packers tonight, on Thursday Night Football. So, in other words, the Packers will win by around 10.
I don't know if there is a Mike Greenberg dartboard available out there someplace, but there is a Green Bay Armchair Quarterback one available.

PHINS, BROWNS AND COLTS ROUND OUT THE THIRTY-TWO
The Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, and Indianapolis Colts are the NFL bottom feeders, at least according to ESPN's Power Ranking heading into Week 2.
No mystery or intrigue there, but it will be interesting to see how Andrew Luck and the Colts rebuild over the next couple of years.
PS: Today is Andrew Luck's birthday, so if you see him, show him some love.

BALTIMORE AND THE HUDDLE, NEVERMORE
The Baltimore Ravens no-huddle offense, orchestrated by coordinator Dean Pees, pissed all over the Cincinnati Bengals, in a 44-13 beat down on Monday Night Football.
QB Joe Flacco threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals to their credit, pulled to within 4 around the midpoint, but the Ravens pulled away by scoring 24 unanswered points in the span of about six minutes.
Keys to the Ravens success was the Baltimore defense as would have been expected, but I don't think that even the Baltimore Armchair Quarterback had anticipated that Flacco would have executed the no-huddle so flawlessly.
The Baltimore Armchair Quarterback was asked if we will see a return of the huddle next week when Baltimore plays the Philadelphia Eagles. His response?
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore".

PEYTON MANNING AND THE BRONCOS ON TARGET
Not much to add to the conversation, but Peyton Manning was back in rare form. He and the Denver Broncos certainly look to be on track for a playoff run, at least after their week one victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

DODGING DARTS, THE SAINTS COME MARCHING IN
"Oh when the Saints, come marching in, oh when the Saints come marching in..."
It's official, if only temporary, LB Jonathon Vilma and DE Will Smith had their suspensions for their roles in the Bountygate scandal overturned by a three-member appeals panel, and have returned to the team. Well, at least for week 1.
Technically Roger "Dodger" Goodell retains the right to hand down new, refined punishments pertaining to the league's nearly three-year investigation of the Saints. Given Goodell's track record, it's a pretty sure bet he'll come back with the requisite justification for his actions, declaring a violation of the "conduct detrimental to the league" provision, vice violation(s) of "undisclosed compensation agreements" as was originally claimed.
The New Orleans Saints dodged a dart [sic], at least for now.

THROWING DARTS AT ART MODELL
The following excerpt is from an article by Robert D. McFadden in yesterday's New York Times:
"Art Modell, who helped make professional football more popular than baseball and rich beyond its wildest dreams but who broke Cleveland’s heart by killing his money-losing team, the Browns, to give birth to the Baltimore Ravens, died on Thursday in Baltimore. He was 87.
"Art Modell, who helped make professional football more popular than baseball and rich beyond its wildest dreams but who broke Cleveland’s heart by killing his money-losing team, the Browns, to give birth to the Baltimore Ravens, died on Thursday in Baltimore. He was 87.
The
death, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, was announced on the Ravens’ Web site.
Mr.
Modell, who lived in Cockeysville, Md., had a history of coronary problems. In
a postwar era when pro football was extending its franchises across America and
its reach into the fantasies of millions of armchair quarterbacks, Mr. Modell
was the hands-on owner of the Browns from 1961 to 1995 and of the Ravens from
1996 to 2003.
I don't profess to have any insight on how Cleveland Armchair Quarterbacks feel about Art Modell today, but I do appreciate that he was left out of the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his abandonment of the Browns and their proud fan base. Throw whatever darts you may at the man and his infamous moves, but he was one of the men that made the league what it is today.
Pay homage to the late great Art Modell by purchasing one of these unique Cleveland Armchair Quarterback dartboards. In terms of Art's legacy, let the darts land where they may.

BOYS TOPPLE GIANTS 24-17 IN OPENER
Tony Romo threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns as the Dallas Cowboys toppled the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, 24-17 in the NFL season opener.
Romo completed 22-of-29 passes with one interception that nearly went for a 6-pick. This was a promising start for the Cowboys, after going 8-8 last year and missing the playoffs after losing to the Giants in Week 17.
WR Kevin Ogletree had a notable performance, recording the first two touchdowns of his career while catching eight passes for 114 yards in the win. On the ground, RB DeMarco Murrary ran for 131 yards on 20 carries.
It's only the first game of the season, but rest assured Dallas Cowboy fans and Dallas Armchair Quarterbacks at the office, in the bar, and across the nation will be rare form today and heading into the weekend. They are justifiably juiced after getting revenge for last year, and providing Goliath a bit of a beat down on national TV.

BULLSEYE ON THE BACKS OF THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS
Official officials or not, the NFL season gets underway tonight as the defending Super Bowl Champion New York Football GIANTS, take on the Dallas Cowboys at 8:30pm.
The NFL Network will be featuring performances by Mariah Carey and No Doubt from Rockefeller Center an hour earlier.
Whether you enjoy this particular brand of 'pregame' or not, one things for certain. Of that, there is no doubt. The defending 2011 World Champions will have a huge target on their backs as they get set to defend their title.
