And how is this different from what is going on now with the current GNR?  You have hired guns (no pun intended) playing songs mostly written by Slash, Izzy, Duff etc.

This current incarnation of GNR hasn't exactly released a lot of material either.  One album that was mainly composed/written by guys that are no longer in the band.  I would be less critical if Axl released some new music once every few years or so. 

If anything a reunion might lessen the load on Axl and push him to release some new music with some of the original members helping him write/compose some of the songs.  The current structure (guys recording stuff, Axl listens and decides which parts are good) seems to not work at all.

I would be for a reunion obviously using the Van Halen template.  Do a tour and record and release some music later.  The difficult part would be to get Axl/Slash to reconcile whatever differences they have.

What exactly are we talking about now?  We don't talk about new albums here now?  I think the rumors thing is pretty tiring too.  The Duff plays with GNR thing garnered 14 pages and I'm pretty sure eclipsed whatever is on the first page.

Posts seem to be up whenever a) GNR screw up (see Dublin and London past threads) b)Reunion/old member in the news talk.

I remember that first Gore fumble now that you mention it, the PHI LB made a great hit and jarred it loose with his helmet.  With Smith, they might as well just start him the entire year, Carr is really mediocre.  Although I have to admit, whatever Singletary said to him seems to have worked.  And it worked when he did the same thing with Vernon Davis.

I guess I just want to see a little more stability from Smith.  It seems like he goes from a good week to a bad week pretty quickly. The defense of the 49ers also leaves much to be desired.  They haven't been good this year.  I think Smith is a FA after this year so if the 49ers dump him, he could make a good reclamation project.

Who gets a win first Carolina or Buffalo?  I've read that John Fox might switch back to Matt Moore as his starting qb.

You forgot to mention that their OL blows.  They gave up like 5 sacks in the first half.  At least they finally benched Leonard Davis.  Special teams was also suspect especially right after they scored a TD that tied the score at 27.  They allowed the TEN KR to return it to the 10 (and tacked on a PF penalty to boot).  They also missed a FG earlier in the game too.

I'm still not sure how the fuck TEN is winning these games.  They give up 500 yards of offense to DAL and win.  Two weeks ago 400+ yards of offense to the NYG and win (by 19).  I guess the defense is forcing turnovers and sacking people unlike last year where they just picked up chunks of yards through the air.  They are better at red zone defense though.

What a weird week of football highlighted by the 3 late game upsets.  SD has the WORST special teams in the league.  Two blocked punts in the first quarter vs OAK.  A few weeks ago it was two KR td's in the 2nd half vs SEA.  SD has generally been a 2nd half team but I'm not sure that they can do that this year.

The Bears throw 4 int and have like 50 yds of passing offense and still win by 17pts.  Both teams only combined for 91 yds passing. 

Kolb looked better this week I just wish he'd start throwing to Desean Jackson.  The 49ers have to find a real qb.  Alex Smith looks like a perpetual tease.  He'll look good at times enough to make you think he's turned the corner; then he'll suck again.

No complaints about Jeff Fisher this week from me.

With the Bears OL and Cutler's injury, the Vikes have a real chance to jump right back into the NFC North and playoff picture.  With both NFC West and NFC East leaders being at 2-2, it's a good chance that the Wild Cards come from the other 2 divisions (South and North).  ATL is a contender along with CHI and GB for these spots.  Anyone remember 2006 where it seemed like half the teams had a chance at the playoffs?  It looks like parity will reign supreme again in the NFL.  It makes sense for both teams to get a deal done as it looks like Moss is in one of those mentally checked out phases (see end of Raider tenure).  I'm sure war is stoked about the rumors.

Wasn't mentioned but Marshawn Lynch got traded to the Seahawks for a 4th rounder in 2011 and a fifth or sixth rounder in 2012.  He will get most of the carries.  SEA released Julius Jones today who should draw interest in GB.

Haven't seen the original but this one seems pretty good.  I'll probably check it out.
