'09 NFL Season Discussion

[SBoydW]

This is a place for general discussion of the National Football League (American Football).

[Locke]

NFC: Division winners- Packers, 49ers, Saints, Giants.

Wildcards- Vikings, Eagles

[SBoydW]

You think the Vikes are gonna collapse that badly?

[Locke]

I actually thought I was generous to give them the wildcard.  But them again, I'm a biased Packer fan.

[SBoydW]

ahhhh that makes a lot more sense.

[Locke]

The AFC is much harder to predict though.  Everything is pretty much up in the air over there. Hah, rhyme. :)

[SBoydW]

Yeah the only division that is pretty clear so far is he South, and I think the Colts will clinch that no problem.  In the west the Broncos are looking pretty spectacular, but they are known for collapse, except their defense is loads better this year.  In the north... I think that it's going to come down to the Ravens and Steelers, and right now I give the edge to the Ravens, because I think that Flacco is a better QB than Rothlesberger.  Lastly, in the east... after loosing Pennington I was ready to say the Dolphins were out of it... but Henne looked alright last week against the Jets.  So right now it's a three way race, but I have to give the edge to the Pats, Tom Brady and Belicheck are going to put it together I think and come out with the win.

 

So... Tentative Division winners: Colts, Broncos, Ravens, and Patriots

Wild Cards: Chargers and Jets.

[Locke]

I agree with the Colts statement but I think the Bengals are also in the hunt.

Right now I'll take Colts, Broncos, Bengals, and Jets.

Wildcards- Patriots and Steelers.

 

I'm with you though, very tentative

[LedZepMan]

yeah, It is gonna come down to Baltimore and Pittsburgh

[Emperor]

Lets discuss favorite teams.

 

Panthers fan here.  Glad to see we can beat the bad teams this year!

 

I wish Steve Smith would stop sucking though...

[SBoydW]

Same here! Though it isn't Smitty's fault...

[Emperor]

At least DWill broke out.  It looked like our 2008 rushing attack was back.  Of course it was against Tampa Bay...

[Emperor]

Can we also talk about the SMACK DOWN that the Titans received?  What happened to the team from last year? 

[SBoydW]

I guess Albert Haynsworth is that good... when he's healthy at least.

 

They just don't have a passing game at all... I mean last year it wasn't spectacular, but it is non-existent this year.... They had -7 passing yards in the the beat down.

[Kivam]

Jets fan here . . . and I don't want to talk about it

[SBoydW]

Sanchez is actually starting to look like a rookie.  I was mad impressed his first couple of games... but not so much right now.

[SinisterDeath]

Vikings are going to win the superbowl, undefeated. :P

[Kivam]

Vikings are going to win the superbowl, undefeated. :P

 

Yeah . . . by the end of the year, Favre will have you crying

They were also missing 3 starters in their secondary.

[Locke]

Balogna.

 

Titans are so bad, it's sad. 

 

Changed my mind in AFC:

Divisions-Patriots, Steelers, Broncos, Colts.

Wild Cards- (none of 'em looked good this week) I'll go out on a limb and say Charges and Texans.

[SinisterDeath]

Vikings are going to win the superbowl, undefeated. :P

 

Yeah . . . by the end of the year, Favre will have you crying

 

I can dream can't I?

 

Its an interesting strategy the ravens pulled on the vikings.

Let them think they are winning, then with 10 minutes left on the clock god damn near win the game.

Seriously, just reading about sundays game makes me regret not watching the 4th quarter. That shi- be intense!

I'm a huge Patriots fan. I could not believe how bad the Titans looked on Sunday, especially with Jeff Fisher as coach.  They looked utterly listless, and Collins' throws were pathetic.  I'm not trying to rain on the Titans, but I've always respected them and was shocked to see how bad they looked.  You have to think they'll give Vince Young the reins after the bye to see if he's got a future.

[Emperor]

Again Panthers fan here... so that means I know about Kerry Collins.  He was the QB that took us on our first playoff run and we thought we had our answer.  A year later he was out because he did the exact same thing to us.  He isn't the answer, just like Jake isn't the Panthers long term manager.  But then again he isn't meant to be passing the ball every down, just enough to keep the defense honest.  Running the ball is the key to both the Titans and the Panthers.

[Alea iacta est]

Seahawks...

 

and i had to quit watching on sunday. first time this season.

[Locke]

Titans-lose Haynseworth: become terrible

Redskins-gain Haynsweorth: become terrible.

 

 

Funny
