NFL 2009 Season Thread

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Panthers stat line is baffling. 238 yards in the first half, only points came on a safety.

[Triple A]

Freaking Leon Washington looked like he had his leg snapped in half or something. :'(

Carted off. Terrible.

Only good thing is it is giving Shonn Greene playing time. Kinda "hate" Thomas Jones

[Droford]

I love how they speed up the highlights of long tds.

[Droford]

Theres really only 3 possibly good games next week..

Vikings/Packers
Giants/Eagles
Falcons/Saints MNF

Then of course there's that barnburner between the Rams and the Lions.

[FearedSanctity]

Broncos/Ravens

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Bears go off in this half.

[FearedSanctity]

HORRIBLE spot on that play

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah awful spot. And then they didn't even measure.

[FearedSanctity]

The anxiousness of the ref that spotted it was odd. He ran from like 10+ yards away and spotted it right at the marker

[Droford]

Broncos/Ravens

The Ravens are on their way to losing 5 straight. The Ravens are going to get lit up by the Broncos. Im happy that I will be at work and not see it.

It could be 9 straight but fortunately they play the Browns on MNF in a couple weeks though I guess they could lose that game too. All the high hopes I had after starting 3-0 have been flushed down the toilet. If they even manage to finish .500 I'll be amazed.

@Patriots - LOSS
Bengals - LOSS
@Vikings - LOSS
Broncos
@Bengals
@Browns
Colts
Steelers
@Packers

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How the fuck did the Browns get a Monday night game

[FearedSanctity]

Denver has a pretty bad history against the Ravens, though different coaches for both teams pretty much nullifies that. Dunno, should be good. Don't like having to play against Foxy though

[FearedSanctity]

93 trying to crack a nigga's ribs

[Droford]

How the fuck did the Browns get a Monday night game

I think its considered a rivalry game but its really not. I think the city of Cleveland doesn't really care enough to hate Art Modell any more when he doesn't even own the team and their own team is horrible.

As far as Im concerned, the only two rivalry games the Ravens have are with the Steelers and the Titans out of the old AFC Central days.

[FearedSanctity]

So fucking tired of players signaling first down on a fumble. They almost always do it before anyone can try to recover and it's almost always a sure thing that the team doing it most DOESN'T have possession

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol at this color commentator

dude on the Bears just turns around and pops Chad Johnson in the face

commentator "I think that's what the refs were calling him for on that play"

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Here come the Saints

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Man Cutler cannot play on the road.

[Requiem]

That Saints interception/TD was pretty BS. Ball was clearly out of his hands well before the line in all the replays they showed..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Gotta let Cedric score here

[Supreme Olajuwon]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[SammyG]

LOVE the Bengals

[Innovator]

Sanchez eating a hot dog on the sidelines, ahahaha

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Brees with 4 turnovers today. Say whaaaaaaaaaaa

[Supreme Olajuwon]

WHO THE FUCK IS MILES AUSTIN

good god

[Supreme Olajuwon]

171 yards and 2 TDs today

That's 421 yards and 4 TDs the last two weeks

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Had 435 yards and 4 TDs in his CAREER before last week

[Innovator]

D-1AA from Monmouth

Dude has a 43' vertical

[SammyG]

WHO THE FUCK IS MILES AUSTIN

good god

Oh, just my starting WR on fantasy.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lolllllll Carson Palmer lost a bet so he has to go up to Jay Cutler at the end of the game with a photo of Cutler and say "You're my favorite quarterback, may I please have your autograph?"

[FearedSanctity]

HOW ABOUT THAT MIAMI D

[FearedSanctity]

And why the fuck is this stupid ass Cowboys game still on. SWIIIIIIIITCH

[SammyG]

What, Supreme? Tell me more about this bet, because that's hilarious.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

His little brother Jordan is on the Bengals too and I guess they have skills competitions every Friday at practice. Jordan beat Carson this week and that was the bet.

[SammyG]

lol

[SammyG]

What was the condition if Carson had won?

[SammyG]

By the way, the Saints are winning.

[Requiem]

this game is making me so angry

[SammyG]

Chad Henne : Leadin' drives.

[SammyG]

Chad Henne: Throwin' picks.

[Boomer]

I honestly had no doubt the Saints would come back, but I don't think many people did otherwise.

And I have confidence the Falcons will lose next week too, unfortunately.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Austin Miles is a product of DeFranco training outta NJ. People who train with that dude just turn into animals in the NFL. www.defrancostraining.com

Missed most of the action today because of some dumb ass group project for grad school. Watching the Saints/Dolphins game tho WHO DAT Y'ALL CAN'T HANG WITH US!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I like how Drew Brees dunked it after his touchdown run

[Skippord]

lol what the hell is that illegal forward pass penalty

[FearedSanctity]

I honestly had no doubt the Saints would come back, but I don't think many people did otherwise.

Shit, who didn't? They were incredibly lucky to have the lead they did, so no doubt it wouldn't last

[ClockShot]

Checked phone at work, 'fins lead the Saints at halftime.

Just get home, Saints hang another 40+ and beat Miami.

What the fuck did Sean Payton and ownership do during the offseason to create this monster?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Miles Austin has some scary ass Hellraiser thing going on with his mouth

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Just looking at the records of AFC teams, every team in the playoffs is most likely gonna have 10 or 11 wins again

[RoXer]

drc

[Shadow]

Went over to Foxsports to check scores....Gibbs won't be back to coach the Skins again. To this I say...GOOD! Schider needs to go and soon.

[Hanso Amore]

Jairus Byrd is the next Palamalu!

Bills win in the worst way ever again.

This shows us how bad Trent Edwards is, Ryan Fitzpatrick outplays him

[Emperor Smeat]

Gibbs was actually a rumor to be the coach ?

Don't blame him for not wanting to come back since team and ownership is in a mess.

[Droford]

That was an awesome TD. The Cardinals deflected the pass right to Nicks for a 60+ yard TD.

[Innovator]

HAKEEM THE DREAM!

[McLegend]

lol the Redskins asked Gibbs?

I don't remember him being that great the 2nd time around either.

[RoXer]

oh come on

[RoXer]

No DRC.

No Adrian Wilson.

Not even that peice of shit Antrelle Rolle.

Please Cardinals 2nd string secondary, find a way to hang on.

Or just run the ball for the next 9 mins.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Good game here

Feel like I'm watching great games every week, NFL is riding high right now. They would be really stupid to mess everything up with all this labor talk shit. They gotta get everything figured out.

[CSL]

ffs

[Innovator]

Fuuuuuuck

[OssMan]

omg

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Cardinals throwing the ball on 1st down there?

[Innovator]

Giants don't want to win this game

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Bradshaw punching facemasks

[RoXer]

Cardinals throwing the ball on 1st down there?

THANK YOU

Was just about to get on here to piss and shit and moan about that.

WOuld have burnt another 30 seconds off the clock, at least.

[SammyG]

Nice 1 yard completion, Giants.

[SammyG]

STEVE FUCKING SMITH

[RoXer]

Steve Smith capatalizes and Antrelle Rolles 5000th career mistake

[FearedSanctity]

OMAHA

[RoXer]

The Cards can't lose.

NBC just said they're 16-0 when winning the turnover margin.

[FearedSanctity]

OMAHA OMAHA

[SammyG]

What about Antrelle Rolle, Roxer?

[RoXer]

It'll make up for todays mistakes.

Still hate him though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

GET YOUR ROLLE ON

[El Fangel]

Now that I understand the game a bit, I need a team to root for.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oakland Raiders

[Kris P Lettus]

Dome Land Security

[Triple A]

Freaking Leon Washington looked like he had his leg snapped in half or something. :'(

Carted off. Terrible.

Only good thing is it is giving Shonn Greene playing time. Kinda "hate" Thomas Jones

out 4 season w/ broken leg

Damn Bro

[Requiem]

Now that I understand the game a bit, I need a team to root for.

The Indianapolis Colts. Get on AIM or something.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I can't believe the fantasy guy on ESPN said to pick up Sam Aiken for today's game. Never caught a TD pass, until today (has been in the NFL for 7 years)

[Skippord]

Denver Broncos

Fallen Angel

[FearedSanctity]

Denver Broncos

Fallen Angel

[El Fangel]

Requiem never steered me wrong before, Colts it is.

[SammyG]

hop on the bandwagon.

[El Fangel]

What bandwagon?

[El Fangel]

So Req just told me they are undefeated. Well fuck.

[SammyG]

I'm just saying, if you're new to football it would look kinda douchebaggish if you just chose the best team. Pick a bad one, or a medium one, and follow them.

[El Fangel]

Well looking at the stats on NFL.com and my other team choice (I do know some football teams from watching sports recaps on TSN) and the other team was going to be the Saints, who are also 6-0. :-\

Then again, Req told me to watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5trR6qxOrd4

I now see RP's infatuation and I dont see myself rooting against this guy.

[El Fangel]

Anywho, if and when they lose I am still going to root for them, even though I am still being taught the basics of the game.

Fouls seem to be a bit of a subject that will be a bit harder to get though.

[Requiem]

Nah I sold him on the Colts before I even started giving stats. Also, Peyton Manning and Bob Sanders. More to come.

[SammyG]

They are called penalties in the NFL.

Anyway, it baffles me that Bulger was able to do this shit earlier in his career. I can not understand how he is so fucking shitty these days. Ah, fuck, it sucks that the Rams are this awful. NFL is my favorite to watch, and it's becoming unbearable

[Kris P Lettus]

I put money on the Card -8 and the under (48) in a parlay..

:cool:

[parkmania]

This is the first chance I've had to comment after going to last nights's PPV:

Say what you want about the questionable call on the play before Favre's fumble, but if that's a no-call then the refs definitely made it up to the Vikings almost immediately with a no-call of a block in the back on Harvin's return.

Several media people are saying that Willie Parker was talking himself out of town this past week, but until Mendenhal can learn to keep two hands on the ball, ESPECIALLY when making a stupid-ass jump over the pile on (I think) second-down, the Steelers better keep Willie around.

I hate all the Reggie Bush haters.. Look at that shit.. I don't care he'll never be a 30+ td 1500 yard a season RB.. As long as he does shit like that and defenses bite on him in playaction, he can remain a Saint 4-LIFE..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Still a bust though.

[Hanso Amore]

So much for Leon Washington getting paid!

[Kris P Lettus]

Still a bust though.


LOL

Watch the Giants game and you will see all 4 TD's Brees threw were off of play action where the D bit on Reggie..

Best decoy in the league.. Simple fact that every d-coordinator has to game plan for him makes him the furthest thing from a bust..

[Shadow]

So after the break...how many people here think Zorn's done and there'll be a new head coach at the helm of the skins?

God damn Efling.

[Reavant]

I still cant wait to see how the saints/pats game goes, but too bad its in the dome and not out in foxboro where it will probably be snowing

[Mr. Monday Morning]

You know what I was going to go off here but it's not worth my time.

WHO DAT GONNA AVERAGE 3.8 YPC

And for what it's worth only 2 of those TDs were play action to Bush, not 4. Not that it would matter, since the whole point of play action isn't who is back there but the threat of the play itself. Since, y'know, Thomas and Bell have been the whole running game.

Christ.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

LOL

C'mon Krispy don't be an ignorant homer. You don't use the 2nd pick in the draft on a decoy. You know as well as I do that the Saints drafted him to be the next Marshall Faulk. At best he's been the 5th best RB in that draft class.

[Kris P Lettus]

Doesn't matter.. As long as we have a between the tackle running game (which we do with PT Cruiser, Bell, and Hamilton) I don't mind Bush being a "utility player".. He lines up wide or in the slot almost half the time anyway.. He also has "big play potential" anytime he gets the ball in space.. E.g. the play I posted..

[Kris P Lettus]

So after the break...how many people here think Zorn's done and there'll be a new head coach at the helm of the skins?

God damn Efling.

Shynder came out and said no matter what happens, Zorn has the job till atleast the end of the season according to Sirius NFL Radio..

D's man up on Bush every play regardless of stats.. Also, before his injury last season, he had 3 of the 6 total special teams TD out of the entire NFL..

[McLegend]

He is a glorified Eric Metcalf.

[FearedSanctity]

Requiem never steered me wrong before, Colts it is.

Actually dude, you're better off just watching games this year without a particular team to root for, or at least the next few weeks. If you really enjoy football you can do that and find your team that way, which is the best way IMO. Find a team you enjoy watching, as opposed to one with good stats and a good record. That's how I found Denver, though it was during their Super Bowl years. But I was like 8 at the time and didn't really understand all that yet, I just loved watching John Elway and Terrell Davis play. When I first started getting in to football I tried to just pick the Saints, didn't work.

I love the Broncos, but I've seen so many Texans games that I basically developed a liking for them because they may not have won that often when they first started, but you could really see the guys playing their asses off. I remember when they first beat the Colts and Titans. Immense feeling of joy for them. Easily consider the Texans my second team.

So yeah, my advice is to just enjoy the games for a while and find a team you really enjoy watching, not a team who's stats you like. Much better off that way.

[McLegend]

Btw Eagles lose tonight.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Thinking Eagles by 20+ personally.

[Kris P Lettus]

I work with Desean Jacksons brother in law.. He is going to the game next week and gonna get me a autographed ball..

:cool:

Oh please. The Elf can come out and say that every 100th Redskin fan who's not happy with their season ticket can come get a free blow job from a Skin's Cheerleader and I wouldn't believe him. The man needs to die.

Hate him so much.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Redskins are comical at this point, I was just laughing while I watched him. That 4th and goal play was unbelievable, it looked like the center though the QB was under center and not in the shotgun

[Droford]

GOD(or whatever you believe in) BLESS THE EAGLES and THE PATHETIC WASHINGTON REDSKINS

I95 is safe for a while at least..

Im also taking a break from gambling on football for a while.

Bob Sanders.

That is all.

[RP]

Drew Bree's has broke all the all time records this year.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

D's man up on Bush every play regardless of stats.. Also, before his injury last season, he had 3 of the 6 total special teams TD out of the entire NFL..

You mean as opposed to leaving him unmarked? Wow.

And I've seen him return enough punts for a loss to know that the 1/100 that he actually breaks through is still not worth what he's being paid. Josh Cribbs is a better returner than Bush will ever be and is getting paid like 1/10th the money.

[Hanso Amore]

Number 2 Pick for a decoy?

[Reavant]

lol @ krispy... im happy your team is doing good but why dont you stick to bragging about actual stats not retarded shit like reggie bush is so good that defenses are so scarred of him that they quadruple coverage him because hes sooooooo good even though this was the first game he really ever got the ball.

[SammyG]

WHO DAT

[Hanso Amore]

I hate people who get way too excited. No doubt the Saints are good, and you should be excited, but honestly think you fuck the mouth of a Reggie Bush picture.

[Emperor Smeat]

I hate people who get way too excited. No doubt the Saints are good, and you should be excited, but honestly think you fuck the mouth of a Reggie Bush picture.

:lol:

[RP]

Reggie Bush uses a rare form of Gailic a the line of scrimmage.

[RP]

Alot of times Reggie Bush has no idea what he's doing, but the defense has no idea that he has no idea what he's doing. That's next level.

[Hanso Amore]

Half Man, Half God, Half possible Centaur

[CSL]

mangodposstaur

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

This whole Reggie Bush thing reminded me that Elvis Dumervil has more sacks than Mario Williams (all 3 taken in the same draft)

I know that Williams is a better all around defensive lineman, but it's still pretty interesting

[Droford]

I think Vegas is trying to win money back now by duping people into believing the Ravens are favorites since people are betting heavy on favorites and winning a lot as of late, by having them at anywhere from -3 to -4. theres no legit reason in the world they should be favorites, I half expected them to be 4 point dogs at least even though the game is in Baltimore.

If you wanna win some easy money, take my advice and take the Broncos +3/4. Its gonna be ugly. Im not betting anymore for awhile but seriously, this is the easiest money you'll ever make.

Reggie Bush says Saints can go undefeated
Posted by Mike Florio on October 28, 2009 7:36 AM ET
It took six games for folks to widely accept the reality that the Saints are really, really good.

One of their biggest-name players has embraced it, too.

Appearing on Sporting News Radio's The Monty Show, running back Reggie Bush was asked whether the Saints can go undefeated.

And Bush thinks they can.

"Can we go undefeated?" Bush said. "Yes. I do think we have the players, the chemistry, we have the heart and dedication, the coaching staff, we have the players."

Then again, Bush's opinion needs to be put in perspective. When discussing the criticism he has faced since entering the NFL and not performing like this generation's Gale Sayers, Bush seemed to predict that he'll eventually be named the league's MVP.

"Once I do win an NFL MVP, once we do win a Super Bowl, once I am in the Pro Bowl, it's going to be that much more special because of all the criticism that I had to come through and because of the work I've put into it, it'll mean that much more to me and I'll appreciate it more," Bush said.

Though the Saints currently have the inside track to the NFC Championship, Bush has a long way to go to draw a single MVP vote.

He has 175 yards rushing (3.9 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. He also has 144 yards receiving, and zero scores. And he's averaging a paltry 4.1 yards on punt returns.

So the Saints are very, very good. And their achievement is even more impressive in light of the fact that they used the second overall pick in the 2006 draft on a glorified third-down back.

[RP]

LOL

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol great timing though

Bush must read tpww

[RP]

He forgot " Once i break all the all time records in the first 3 games of the season ".

[Hanso Amore]

Vince Young will get to a Pro Bowl before Bush

[Hanso Amore]

wait he already did....he will go again

[Reavant]

wait he already did....he will go again

errrr prolly not

[Reavant]

but the bills might make the playoffs before he makes the probowl ever

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Even if Bush does run for 1500 yards he's still not going to win an MVP on Drew Brees' team. That'd be like Reggie Wayne winning MVP over Peyton. It's just not gonna happen.

[McLegend]

Supreme brings up an excellent point.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Reggie Bush is gonna win the MVP because defensive coordinators are forced to think about him while coordinating their defensive game plans for the Saints.

[Loose Cannon]

Alot of times Reggie Bush has no idea what he's doing, but the defense has no idea that he has no idea what he's doing. That's next level.

rofl.

[Heros Welcome]

Would love nothing more then my dirty birds going into Norleans and smacking the Saints in the mouth! Can't stand them!!! Can't stand Reggie Bush! Also the thought of being able to rub it in Krispys face since I'm tired of hearing about how GREAT the Saints are.

Divisional game under the bright lights of Monday night. Can't wait for this one!

[Droford]

I dont really think the Falcons can handle the Saints. They couldnt handle the Cowboys, and the Saints are a better team than the 'Boys, especially on Defense.

The Saints should do no worse than 14-2, and thats if they lose to both the Patriots and the Cowboys. I think they could beat the Cowboys at least, but that Pats game will be tough because its in NE. The rest of their schedule is sad though, 2 games each vs the Panthers and Bucs and games vs the Rams and Redskins along with one more vs Atlanta.

[El Fangel]

I was just looking for the Colts vs Saints game on the Colts schedule, it appears that they do not play each other at all this year...

Does thing like this normally happen?

(New to this, so slack is needed to be cut here)

[Skippord]

yes Fallen Angel

teams play the other teams in their division's 8 times and 4 games against a division in the other conference and 4 other games against other teams.

and being that the Colts and Saints are in opposite conferences and t heir divisions aren't playing each other the only way they could play each other this year is in the Super Bowl

[Skippord]

god I should not post informative crap

seems bogus

[Droford]

Some Browns fan is trying to organize a protest during the Ravens/Browns MNF game in which everyone stays out of the stadium until after the kickoff. Good luck with that, but it would be awesome to see them playing in front of an empty stadium.

[Emperor Smeat]

I think it was the Pirates fans or a different crappy team fanbase in baseball that tried something like that this season. It sort of worked in the sense around 5,000 less people were in the stadium and made it look bad on tv but at same time the seats were already paid for so the team took no hit in lost ticket revenue that game.

[Heros Welcome]

I don't really think the Falcons can handle the Saints. They couldn't handle the Cowboys, and the Saints are a better team than the 'Boys, especially on Defense.

On paper yeah the Saints are favored big time since their crushing people left and right. The numbers they put up on offense of throwing for 350 and rushing for 150 are daunting for a struggling ATL D (especially with no CB's). But they had 2 good games last year, splitting the series.

Under the bright lights of Monday Night I expect the crowd to be insane. I find it hard to believe that the Falcons will come out flat like like they finished in Dallas. They bounced back big after the loss to the Pats and destroyed the Niners. I expect them to come in fully prepared and make this one hell of a game. I just can't see a blow out like many are predicting.

[RP]

Saints have a fantastic team, but i honestly like the Giants over them in the playoffs.

[Heros Welcome]

I would say I like the Giants over the Saints, since I feel the Giant running game could control the clock and keep the Saints offense off the field, but with Bradshaw having this broken bone in his foot is a little worrisome.

[Reavant]

I dont know abou the giants.... Id actually go with the Eagles over them in the playoffs because of their big play potential and theyre known for turning it on in the playoffs

[RP]

Maybe Romo puts it together. Who knows. I'd love a Cowboys vs Colts superbowl. That would be epic. Not as epic as Giants Colts, but epic nonetheless.

[RP]

Trust me. I'll say this right now. I guarantee you you'll see shakey calls in the playoffs for Giants and Colts because the NFL wants the Manning matchup. It will never be better then it will be this year.

[Reavant]

well i think a manning/vick superbowl would be the NFL cashcow

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Maybe Romo puts it together. Who knows. I'd love a Cowboys vs Colts superbowl. That would be epic. Not as epic as Giants Colts, but epic nonetheless.

Why would you not want Vikings - Colts

AP vs Bob Sanders
Favre vs Manning
Jared Allen vs Dwight Freeney (kind of)

I am of the opinion that the Falcons will try this on Monday, and it won't work. Controlling the clock is tough with a team that seems to always score within 3-5 minutes. I think teams will have to beat the Saints in a shootout to stand a chance. And the Saints are pretty damn healthy right now, so they are shooting on all cylinders.

[Heros Welcome]

Well the Falcon run game right now is just awful Boom. Its painful when watching it. I mean people wanna point to the fact that Turner packed on some weight in the off season so hes lost a step. I mean yeah he looks a little slower when trying to hit the hole but its also the play calling I think.

Were not taking the shots down field so were not really stretching the defenses. I think Malarkey has gotta open up the pass and take some shots down field. It also hurts when Norwood is out of the lineup. When he went down I knew the offense would struggle since he opens things up and brings a whole different pace to the offense.

[FearedSanctity]

yes Fallen Angel

teams play the other teams in their division's 8 times and 4 games against a division in the other conference and 4 other games against other teams.

and being that the Colts and Saints are in opposite conferences and t heir divisions aren't playing each other the only way they could play each other this year is in the Super Bowl

Actually, it's:

Each division opponent twice = 6 games
One AFC division = 4 games
One NFC division = 4 games
Two other teams who finished the same place in their division, but aren't in the division the team is already playing = 2 games

Example on the last one, since it's kinda confusing. Denver, New England, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh each finished second in their respective divisions last year. This years Denver plays the AFC North. So that means the two second place teams they play will be New England (AFC East) and Indianapolis (AFC South). Hope that helps.

[Requiem]

A Colts/Giants Super Bowl would be incredible.

I could see it coming down to Colts/Saints though if it keeps up at the current pace.

[DaveBrawl]

Doesn't help Denver by any means.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

QB=Quarterback, recieves ball from center (guy who snaps it between his legs) when the down starts. Either hands off to a running back or passes to a reciever.

RB=running back, generally receives a hand off from the quarterback and runs through a hole created by the linemen. ?He can also be tosses the ball and even recieve the ball in a pass in passing plays. He also helps block in passing plays.

FB=Full back, same as running back but is generally just an extra blocker and rarely gets the ball.

WR=Wide receiver, generally lines up wide away from most of the other players hence the name. They usually only recive the ball in pass plays, but there is certain situations where they are handed it to run. They also help block defensive backs in running plays.

TE=Tight End, A player that lines up 'tight' to the formation. They are players that are big enough to be linemen, and athletic enough to carry the ball. They block just like a lineman in both running and passing plays, but can also be very useful as a reciever in passing plays because they may go uncovered, or be a bad matchup for smaller defensive backs.

OL=Ofensive linemen, The giants that line up in a line of five men. the center snaps the ball through his legs to the QB. next to him on each side is a gaurd, and the outter most position for linemen is the tackle. They never get the ball, in fact it is illegal. All they do is block.

DL=Defensive linemen, The even bigger dudes that line up over the center and gaurds that will try and stop run plays of and offense by being immovable and rushing the QB on pass plays.

DE=Defensive end, same as above but a lot more athletic and smaller. They usually line up over the tackles and try to run right around them to get to the QB on pass plays.

LB=Line backer, and defensive player that stays standing usually about 1-5 yards off the line of scrimmage. They are probably the most important players on the defense because the defense is usually made for them to make all the tackles. They are generally the most athletic and violent players on any team. They can cover TE and slow recievers, blitz the QB, and shelp in stuffing the run.

DB=Defensive back, anyone who lines up far in the defensive backfield or over a wide receiver. Safetys and corners. corners are the DBs that line up over the WR and usually play the pass. They are generally smaller and very fast. Safetys are just what their name states. They are that safety blanket or the last line of defense. They usually help out corners in pass coverage by staying down field of the WRs or 'up top' They usually cover a deep zone of the field and help with run support.

[SammyG]

oh for fuck's sake figure it out urself

[El Fangel]

oh for fuck's sake figure it out urself

How about you explain all of hockey's terminology and positions for me and be able to explain so perfectly.

Thats right, you dont watch hockey, just like I dont watch football. I asked for help because obviously people in this thread know more about football then I do and can explain what players do and some basic rules.

If you wanted to learn about hockey, I would tell you. Not be the jackass you are.

Then again, cant expect much different from a homosexual who reads Twilight and is excited to see half naked werewolfs.

[SammyG]

Um, I know lots of hockey shit actually, fatfuck.

[RoXer]

Yet he doesn't deny the homosexual claim

[El Fangel]

Haha, Im sure.

Go google it and come back and explain everything.

I may be fat, but so are lots of people. Only fags read Twilight.

But back to football.

[El Fangel]

Yet he doesn't deny the homosexual claim

You cant really deny that claim when you read Twilight and have seen the first movie and WANT to go to the second just to see a bunch of shirtless werewolfs.

Seems he is into furries, so I better watch my ass.

[OssMan]

Hey I'm reading Twilight and I like hockey so FUCK you man. And I figured out everything I know about hockey by watching it. So FUCK you man

[El Fangel]

Assman, do you LIKE Twilight, you are only just reading it.

I also like Hockey, so fuck you too.

I also figured out everything I know about hockey from watching it, but that took abit. Especially the obscure rules. Though offside still fucks with my head now and again and explaining it to someone verbally is horrible.

I would rather know things about football now, not a year down the road.

[FearedSanctity]

3rd time Josh has run a screen on 3rd and 10+, come on now

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I don't even think I'm gonna watch most of the second half of this game.

Giants are exposing themselves as a fraud team. They had one impressive win in Dallas and then they won 4 games against teams that barely qualify as NFL teams.

I'll give them next week, if they lose to San Diego and drop to 5-4 before the bye, they might very well miss the playoffs for the first time since 2004. Sucks saying that in the crappy NFC but there are at least enough decent teams to get the two wild card spots and the Giants don't have very many easy games in the second half - Redskins and Panthers, that's about it.

Fuck 2009 sports.</font>

[Gonzo]

The Giants are good enough to beat up on crappy teams, but not even close to competing with the conference elite. As far as I'm concerned, the Giants were lucky Romo played poorly in their contest with Dallas.

Their secondary is abysmal, the loss of Kenny Phillips was huge and that is apparent by the play of CC Brown. It doesn't seem like Bill Sheridan can devise a scheme to get pressure as Spags could, and he seems to be getting out coached by superior competition for the past three weeks. On top of the defensive woes, Manning is playing like complete shit the past three weeks, and the overall offensive philosophy is way too predictable. If I can sit on my couch and predict the Giants' offense then so can opposing defenses.

[Triple A]

what the fuck come on

2 KR TDs, one fumble return TD in the 3rd quarter

[FearedSanctity]

Love McDaniels, but his play calling this game has been absolute shit. You can't keep going for screens and runs when there's 10+ yards to go and hope you get lucky. Orton has a decent arm, so why are all these routes hardly going past 7 or 8 yards? Ridiculous

[RatedGSuperstar]

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm47/GuruSY/BooThisMan.gif

Favre's lucky us Midwesterners are such kind-hearted people. If he did this to fans in Philly, there would be bloodshed.

[Juan]

fucking Niners :n:

Bob Sanders had a INT. The world is a better place now.

[Londoner]

That miami/jets game was great.

[Nervous Ferret]

fuck that is kinda the season. damn :'(

[ClockShot]

Shit. Ray Lewis finally woke up his D.

Oh well, can't win them all.

Somebody better tell Eli Manning to pull the ripcord asap.

[El Fangel]

Goddamn I love Bob Sanders

7-0

[SammyG]

lol @ anything football related FA says.

ANYWAY

First win of the year!

[El Fangel]

Lol @ SammyG being a faggot who loves twilight

Was what you quoted an attempt to be funny?

[FearedSanctity]

So Sammy, what exactly IS your problem? Dude's just trying to learn a new sport and you're being an arrogant cock? Esplain plz

[Droford]

I really am stunned at how the Raven game played out. Did not see that one coming (well, I thought it could have been 30-7 Denver)

[FearedSanctity]

Was what you quoted an attempt to be funny?

No, I found the irony of the bolded parts funny

So wait, I guess kinda yes?

[El Fangel]

Haha, Ok.

SammyG is an arrogant cock, because he doesnt have one himself.

He wants a sparkly one in him though.

[Hanso Amore]

I hate the bills.

I love jairus byrd though.

7 INTs in 4 games.

[Stinkfist]

I guess since TO cant catch the ball anymore, they have to hand it off to him

[SammyG]

Yeah, Owens needs to get shipped out of Buffalo. Fuckin' ay, Rams get to play the Saints in a couple of weeks, I believe. FML.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bills can't do anything since Trade Deadline passed about 1 and half weeks ago. His contract is only for 1 year with Buffalo so Bills can't get anything since everyone other team knows that as well.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Rams/Lions was completely ridiculous. Lions fucking come back from 10-2 with a TD + 2 pt. conversion to tie it at 10-10, and then in the final minutes they let the Rams get the winning TD on them. So funny to watch them lose to a team that up til today was even worse than them.

Way to go Rams. You're no longer in the running to be considered the new Detroit Lions of the NFL.:y:

[SammyG]

Fuck yeah!

[Hanso Amore]

Owens is the least of their concerns. he will go elsewhere next year and rebound, not as a superstar but could still pull in 50 catches in a competent offense.

The Bills are literally the worst team to watch. They suck the life out of you.


Down 14 in the fourth, they come out and go 3 and out on 3 straight runs....

[Loose Cannon]

god to love the fucking Jets man. the offense and defense played great and they lose the game on two fucking punt return TD's. come on

[Triple A]

Could/should easily be 7-1.

[redoneja]

Quick question for people from New York. What's the breakdown in the New York Metropolitan area between Jets and Giants fans? Is it geographically divided, socioeconomically divided, or is it just kinda random?

[Hanso Amore]

Jets fans are fucking scumbags

[Miotch]

Will someone PLEASE step up and beat the Aints?

I believe, Atlanta. I very much believe.

[Heros Welcome]

THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR MIOTCH!!

DEATH TO THE SAINTS TONIGHT!! I'm getting pumped up for this one!

[Emperor Smeat]

Quick question for people from New York. What's the breakdown in the New York Metropolitan area between Jets and Giants fans? Is it geographically divided, socioeconomically divided, or is it just kinda random?

If you ignore newer fans and bandwagon fans and if its anything like New England, its probably more like the older fans would most likely be Giants fans while the younger fans would be Jets fans since Giants were in the area longer by a good 40 years.

New England is basically split similar since the older fans are more likely to be Giants fans since Patriots didn't become a team until 1960.

[SammyG]

Roddy White should be nice and give me 21 fantasy points tonight.

[Heros Welcome]

TIME TO SHOCK THE WORLD! LETS GO ATL!!!

[Boomer]

Hey look. Michael Turner showed up.

[Droford]

That was terrible tackling on Atlantas part.

and they get a penalty for a pretty lame TD celebration..if you're gonna get penalized at least do something worth getting the flag for.

[Boomer]

On the TD yeah, I'd agree with you. But otherwise the Falcons are looking speedy tonight. Making tackles early and often. Still no answer for the depth of the Saints offense though.

[Heros Welcome]

Gotta make the tackles. That was a joke.

ATL has got good field position to start now, we gotta keep the momentum like we had on the first drive. Can't go flat like we did in Dallas.

[Heros Welcome]

DECOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUD

[Boomer]

lol wow

[ClockShot]

Browns ax their GM 11 months into the job. Mangini hand picked him, think he'll go after the season?

[FearedSanctity]

If he doesn't go before then. An owner can only handle his team being so terrible for so long. Except Al Davis

[Boomer]

Ridiculous INT

[Boomer]

Knockout punch from the Saints before the half.

[Heros Welcome]

Knockout punch is right. Thats just...ugh..I have no words. Had to play mistake free football, and its a momentum shifter like that, gets the crowd going and can really make this an ugly game.

[Emperor Smeat]

Browns ax their GM 11 months into the job. Mangini hand picked him, think he'll go after the season?

Brown's owner already guaranteed he'll be back next year but no guarantee after that.

[Boomer]

There's your Roddy TD. Taking a deep shot is the Saints game, definitely not the Falcons.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Quick question for people from New York. What's the breakdown in the New York Metropolitan area between Jets and Giants fans? Is it geographically divided, socioeconomically divided, or is it just kinda random?

For the most part, you'll find more Jets fans in Long Island and more Giants fans in NYC/Jersey. Not much of a difference socioeconomically, although Jets fans typically like to get drunk and persuade ladies to take their tops off at games more than Giants fans do.

Jets fans are also nauseatingly self-loathing. Possibly more annoying than a Boston Red Sox fan before 2004. Fans of both teams know their teams inside and out, but Jets fans tend to turn on their players more quickly after bad performances.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Patriots somehow might have just won the AFC East on their bye week

[FearedSanctity]

Does every pass to Gonzalez have to immediately be followed by "THE FUTURE HALL OF FAMER!"?

[OssMan]

Holy shit Shockey

[Innovator]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT SHOCKEY IN NY

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Took the over in this game and its gonna end up being 1 point under. Same thing happened with the Ohio State game on Saturday, took New Mexico State with their 44 points...Ohio State beat them 45-0

Good thing it's just on Centsports and not real money. This is why I don't gamble for real

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT SHOCKEY IN NY
Drinking beers in the sky box

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

GOT THE OVER

CENTSPORTS CHAMPION!!!!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol Gruden is ridiculous

[OssMan]

LOL @ Matt Ryan fumble HILARIOUS

[Supreme Olajuwon]

IS IT A TUCK RULE

[Boomer]

Falcons played better than I expected. Fun game. A lot of my friends are upset about that 5 yard defensive hold penalty that gave the Saints the first down before that huge touchdown drive, but the Falcons had many other chances to pull ahead.

Glad to see the return of Michael Turner though. He looked great tonight.

[Heros Welcome]

Boom come on that was a bullshit call. Yes we had other chances but that one was huge.

[FearedSanctity]

Yeah, that one kept them from getting the ball back with momentum and probably good field position. Terrible.
