NFL 2009 Season Thread

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Tennessee vs. Houston tonight. Last game between them, Chris Johnson had his 284 yd, 3 TD explosion. And now the Titans are good. Should be fun.

[Droford]

I dont think Roethlisberger is going to play Sunday Night vs the Ravens. Batch hurt his wrist in OT and is out for the season and its been reported the Steelers are calling around to see whos available, so far contacting Jeff Garcia and Cleo Lemon. Dennis Dixon is their 3rd String QB.

[redoneja]

I'd be happy to see Dixon get the start, just because I'm an Oregon Ducks fan.

[parkmania]

So, they were both "bad" losses, but which one was more embarassing: Cincy to Oakland or Pittsburgh to KC?

[screech]

While both KC and OAK are pretty bad, I think the Raiders are worse than the Chefs. That said, though, the Chefs were coming off a win and took the defending champs into OT.

So KC beating PIT should be more embarrassing for Steelers fans, given the nature of the loss. The Raiders' win (scoring 10 in the final minute) was more stunning than embarrassing (though some Bengals fans may disagree).

[Droford]

My AFC Wild Card Projections:

Steelers (6-4) (@Ravens/Raiders/@Browns/Packers/Ravens/@Dolphins)= 10-6
Jaguars (6-4) (@49ers/Texans/Dolphins/Colts/@Patriots/@Browns)= 10-6
----
Broncos (6-4) (Giants/@Chiefs/@Colts/Raiders/@Eagles/Chiefs)= 9-7
Dolphins (5-5) (@Bills/Patriots/@Jaguars/@Titans/Texans/Steelers)= 8-8
Ravens (5-5) (Steelers/@Packers/Lions/Bears/@Steelers/@Raiders)= 10-6
Texans (5-4) (Titans/Colts/@Jaguars/Seahawks/@Rams/@Dolphins/Patriots)= 9-7

Notes: The Ravens should be able to beat the Steelers at home without Roethlisberger or Polamalu but I will give the Steelers the game in Pittsburgh later since they'll both be back by then. The Ravens schedule is the easiest in my opinion along with the Steelers.

Im not 100% sold on Jacksonville to win their next 3, and if they stumble it puts Houston in the next best spot. The Dolphins would need to beat the Patriots in 2 weeks and I dont see it happening this time.

The Texans need to win tonight, and they could be in it if they beat the Jaguars.

If my scenario happens, the Ravens would have the tiebreaker over the Steelers based on common games since the Ravens beat the Chiefs and a future predicted wins over the Packers and Bears, vs the Steelers only having beat the Vikings where the Ravens lost (counting all the other common game wins for both teams vs Lions/Raiders/Chargers/Broncos) and would get the #6 Seed and probably play the Chargers or Bengals in the Wild Card Round.

oof..too much work..

[SammyG]

Bulger out 3-6 weeks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Fuckin' injury prone like crazy. Mad ridiculous. Anyway. Rams need to draft a QB first round. No doubt about it.

[Loose Cannon]

Jimmy Clausen :cool:

[Loose Cannon]

he's a junior though, so maybe the next year you can get him

[Heros Welcome]

If Weis is canned, which is very likely, I don't see Clausen coming back. Especially since his draft stock will probably be a top 10 pick. And after seeing what can happen to your stock if you come back for that Senior year (I'm talking to you there Sam Bradford) I think he will def come out.

[Loose Cannon]

I would so trade Sanchez for Clausen

[SammyG]

I want Bradford. or Locker.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bill Cowher rejects attempted offer by Bills to be their coach and won't make any decisions to return to NFL until after season ends.

Dear Knowshon Moreno,

Don't fuck around with Brandon Marshall. You deserve the abuse you got from him. If you persist, please refer to the Edwards v. James case in Cleveland.

From,

The Broncos Fanbase.

[Skippord]

I think we like Knowshon more than Marshall here as a person

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

MARK SANCHEZ FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[Innovator]

SANCHISE

[Innovator]

How the fuck do you get a delay of game on a fake punt? Cmon man

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, not even close. I think Brown was waiting to get iced and it never happened.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

This might end up being a good reason to leave if he's still unsure to play 1 more year in college or go to NFL.

Punched by irate ND fan and left with a swollen eye in a restaurant.

[Skippord]

should have punched a defensive player

[RP]

Colts can clinch the AFC South next week.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Orton is playing Thursday...makes it even more critical for the Giants D to finally get its shit together. The only reason the Giants even won the game was because they won the coin flip.

I normally defend the NFL's overtime system, in that you should play defense if you want to win...but honestly, in scenarios like that where its blindlingly obvious that both team's offenses GREATLY outweight the defenses, it definitely does feel like the whole game comes down to a flip. It's never gonna change though until all the old-school owners leave.</font>

[Innovator]

Denver is fighting each other. Here comes their breakout game against the Big Blue Balloon

[Reavant]

I just think that the overtime rules dhouls make it so that the offense has to score a touchdown and not just a field goal

[Splaya]

Bulger out 3-6 weeks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Fuckin' injury prone like crazy. Mad ridiculous. Anyway. Rams need to draft a QB first round. No doubt about it.

I wish William Clay Ford would just leave...:(


Although, at this rate it would just make sense for the Lions to fold the franchise, be gone for a year, then reapply and go through the expansion draft

[owenbrown]

[Kris P Lettus]

Trying to go to the Pats/Saints game monday night.. The Cajun Cannon Bobby Herbert is trying to "Black Out": the Dome with all fans wearing all black..

Regardless weather I go or not, I can not fucking wait for this game..

Also, :cool: at the Who Dat chants during the 4th quarter in Tampa Bay..

[owenbrown]

yeah

[owenbrown]

Brett Favre's season stats so far...

216/310(69.7%) 2482 yds 21 TDs 3 INT 112.1 QB rating

the man is 40 and has retired and unretired twice now!!

[Kris P Lettus]

He is the Rick Flair of the NFL..

[owenbrown]

He keeps retiring and unretiring he's gonna be the Terry Funk of the NFL

[Kris P Lettus]

Favre U

[owenbrown]

guess he wants to play for all 32 teams since he's beaten all of them....he'll be 68 and probably retire for good from the Lions or Bucs at this rate

[owenbrown]

Favre U

lol

[Kris P Lettus]

dam, The Saints are struggling without Bush today


Between Mike Bell and PT Cruiser, we had almost 170 yards rushing from scrimmage..

FYI

[Reavant]

I thought you barely had time too keep up with the saints being so busy filming your movies

[Kris P Lettus]

I still watch every game I can..

you didn't catch the sarcasm

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Jets CB Donald Strickland vowed retaliation against Patriots OL Mark LeVoir for what he claimed was an dirty hit during Sunday’s 31-14 New England win. Strickland suffered a concussion after being blocked by LeVoir on a play in the second quarter in which LeVoir’s helmet struck Strickland’s. “It was a real cheap shot,” Strickland told the Newark Star-Ledger. “He really didn’t have to go at my head like that, especially with the NFL’s precaution about helmet-to-helmet contact.” Strickland’s comments came on the same day Jets coach Rex Ryan said his team was “disrespected” by the Patriots on a deep pass in the final minute of the game. Strickland vowed to settle the score against LeVoir the next time the teams play. “It happened. It was a block and he took advantage of it,” he told the Star-Ledger. “But I guarantee you the next time we play them it’s going to be a different story. I’m making a point of emphasis to retaliate. That’s the way I feel.” The Jets and Patriots are not scheduled to play again this season.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2009/11/jets-donald-strickland-vows-retaliation-against-patriots-mark-levoir-for-cheap-shot/1

Dude got trucked on a WR screen, how is that a cheap shot? New York Jets crying sessions keep on continuing. So awesome to see this after the Week 2 Super Bowl

[RP]

The Jets have become one of the biggest cry baby teams in the league. Fats Ryan is a fucking huge weiner during post game press conferences.

[Droford]

So..Can the titans win 10 straight only to miss the playoffs by a tiebreaker?

im speechless

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

You mean to tell me you got pick-6 in Madden?

[D Mac]

I don't get it.

[Droford]

Im still playin Madden 07.

*price is right loser theme*

I think my greatest single Madden Accomplishment is a 108 yard kickoff return by Ed Reed but I didnt save the replay. Ive got dumb boneheaded replays saved where the cpu goes for a PAT and kicks a punt, and where the CPU has their own huge kickoff return and goes into highstep mode just long enough for me to knock the ball out at the goal line.

Oh yeah, and I totally realized my "Im speechless" didn't link to what I was trying to link to, which was Chad Johnson's Condoms he's selling. Look it up.

He might as well just hand over a check of the fine right now since next year NFL is going to remember what he said and any hit he does is going to be interpreted as a revenge hit.

[DaveWadding]

so Peyton Manning was limited in practice today with a butt injury. What has RP been up to lately?

[Emperor Smeat]

Mike Holmgren rejects any offer to coach the Bills and is considering a job with the Browns if they get rid of Mangini.

Mike Shanahan had a 7 hour meeting with the Bills with mostly pleading by the Bills to be their next coach.

[OssMan]

Who the fuck had the idea to put games on 8 oclock at night on Thanksgiving? Do they expect people to not be eating thanksgiving dinner

[ClockShot]

I could picture Mike "The Mastermind" Shanahan being coach of the Bills. However, he's gonna want total control just like he had in Denver.

But would Ralph make that commitment to stay the hell out of his business?

[Droford]

Who the fuck had the idea to put games on 8 oclock at night on Thanksgiving? Do they expect people to not be eating thanksgiving dinner

When I used to eat thanksgiving dinner with my family it was always at 5.

By 8, everyone was zonked out asleep or gone.

[Emperor Smeat]

I could picture Mike "The Mastermind" Shanahan being coach of the Bills. However, he's gonna want total control just like he had in Denver.

But would Ralph make that commitment to stay the hell out of his business?

I think his biggest concern is to prove he won't move the team out of Buffalo that has been rumored last 1-2 years.

[El Fangel]

I can actually watch a game and understand it now. :cool:

[owenbrown]

Would it be crazy to think given their respective remaining schedules that both the Colts AND Saints could go 16-0?

[SammyG]

Yes.

[Team Sheep]

Always goes like this with the dominant teams. They destroy everyone in the first 8 weeks, get a few wobbly victories from about weeks 9-12 and then about week 13 or 14 they finally lose one. For the Colts and Saints sake, they need to lose a couple, otherwise they'll just choke in the do or die situation of the playoffs.

[ClockShot]

Denver gotta win today.

[Splaya]

Jeremichael Finley just got POPPED by Louis Delmas. Was even questionable as to whether or not the hit was up high

[OssMan]

lol @ Matthew Stafford getting sacked at the end of the half

[Kris P Lettus]

I can not wait for Monday night..

Blacking out the dome..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Should've started Green Bay's defense this week :o

[McLegend]

I really like this Giant's defense.

[ClockShot]

Marshall with the 1-hander. Nice catch.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Christ this defense is awful. Starting to feel just like I did after the San Diego game.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

ouch, current Giants offense stat is 1.4 yards per play gained and its not even halftime yet.

[owenbrown]

the fuck is wrong with Eli? 5/11 only 18 yards?!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>So basically the Giants now have to win their final 5 and hope for a complete collapse from either the Eagles or Cowboys.

Yeah...they are toast.</font>

wooops NFL network

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Let's take a look at the remaining schedule for the Giants:

vs. Dallas
vs. Philadelphia
@ Washington
vs. Carolina
@ Minnesota

I see them going 2-3 in that stretch in some capacity, finishing up 8-8. If they are lucky they MIGHT get 9-7 because the Vikings will likely be resting their starters, but I still have a hard time seeing that.

Gotta get some linebackers for next year.</font>

The pats are gonna beat NO by at least 10.

That clip wasn't even shown live. There was plenty of time for it to be edited and or not shown.

Huge fuck up.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Yeah, that happened during the commercial break and wasn't live. They just completely missed it.

The Packers' wildcard hopes are looking good after the Giants loss, but I'm still worried about that schedule down the stretch (BAL, @CHI, @PIT, SEA, @ARI). It'll help if Big Ben is still woozy a few weeks from now, but with Green Bay's luck, that'll be the game he comes back for.

[Gonzo]

The Giants schedule isn't easy either. They have games against the Skins and Panthers, but the way they are playing now doesn't make me confident.

[Shadow]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Roethlisberger is out for the Ravens' game. Glad to see Pittsburgh doing the responsible thing even though it puts them in a hole for a huge game.

[Droford]

Roethlisberger is out for the Ravens' game. Glad to see Pittsburgh doing the responsible thing even though it puts them in a hole for a huge game.

Any lingering remaining doubt I had about the Ravens winning the game went out the door with that. No Big Ben or Polamalu = Steelers gettin the asses handed to them tomorrow. The Ravens are also giving out purple towels for everyone to wave..

Also, interesting note that NBC might pick up on. The Steelers #2 QB for the game is one Tyler Palko, who was on the Cardinals active roster last year and played for the Cardinals vs the Steelers in the preseason this year before he got cut. But, thats not the most interesting factoid...He was the QB at Pitt back in 2004 and a man by the name of Joe Flacco was stuck behind him on the depth chart, and Flacco would eventually go on to Delaware and..the rest is history.

one other small tidbit I just found out, the Orioles drafted Joe's brother Mike and he'll be playing A ball here where I live.

[Reavant]

ESPN just reported that Kurt Warner is out

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Awesome, it gets reported just as the 1 PM lineups lock, and all of my bench players play at 1 PM. So there's 0 points from the QB position this week.</font> :y:

Battle of Ohio kinda sucked this time around.

But I did like the Bengals' unis today.

[Droford]

The Ravens playoff chances greatly improved today with the Dolphins, Jaguars and Texans losing. The Jets are I guess in the mix though, and I suppose you cant count out the Titans though that bandwagon will have the wheels fall off next week.

The ravens still have to win tonight..but they should be in really good shape for a Wild Card spot.

[Splaya]

To all the Fantasy football people out there.

Private league, a guy in there doesn't check his lineup all weekend and doesn't have a starting RB in for one of his spots. He picked up Rock Cartwright this week but for whatever reason, could not set his lineup. He calls our friend at 103 and states that because he is league commish can he put him in there for him. League commish states that I will adjust his points later.

Do I have a beef?

Going to assume you either lost to him this week or he was ahead of you in points. Either way its unfair if everyone else has their teams set and he doesn't since that is the rules (money or non-money league).

Flaco has been horrible in the 4th Q against the Steelers and its not just because of the Steelers defense.

loving this game

WHAT

That was great, best nfl game i've seen in a while.

[Loose Cannon]

Ray Rice from New Rochelle, NY baby. mother fucking king

[screech]

What a fucking game. I always love Ravens-Steelers games, and I'm glad the Ravens came out on top of this one.

[screech]

To his credit, Dixon played very well for it being his first NFL start. Sucks for him that his one mistake cost the game, but he definitely proved that he has what it takes to hang.

[Splaya]

To update from my fantasy football story, apparently my opponent will be getting his points

[screech]

That is bullshit. Will they be enough to beat you?

[Corndad]

What a freakin Game. Dixon played his heart out. Glad we play Raiders and Browns next two weeks. Then again we lost to the Chiefs last week so who knows.

I freakin love Steelers-Ravens Games though. Have to be top 3 rivalry in league atleast.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Great game. Love watching the Ravens and the Steelers beat the hell out of each other. So glad the Ravens won too. Gives the Bengals a 3 game lead in the division with 5 games left.

[Splaya]

I will be up by 36 heading into Monday night with him having Drew Brees to play. Both teams are 2-9

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don't care if he's not with Green Bay, I'd love to see Favre go out on a high note instead of having a 12 or 13 win season that ends up always going for naught (well except for '97 obviously), and just see Favre and the Vikings absolutely manslaughter everybody who gets in their way on the route to what could very well be a 2nd ring and Lombardi trophy for him before he retires.

[OssMan]

How does everyone go from "Brett Favre such an asshole needs to retire pick a team stop flip flopping blah blah" to "OMG Brett Favre best QB all time want to see Vikings win SB and great Brett Favre career"

[Reavant]

because they figured he would fuck the vikings up by playing like shit

[owenbrown]

I just wanna know how he's doing it

[McLegend]

How does everyone go from "Brett Favre such an asshole needs to retire pick a team stop flip flopping blah blah" to "OMG Brett Favre best QB all time want to see Vikings win SB and great Brett Favre career"

27 Tds and 3 ints will do that.

[Splaya]

It's not just that. People feel he used the Jets and then goes to Minnesota

[Splaya]

So now that Weis has been fired, what 6 teams are interested in him?

[owenbrown]

probably the 6 worst in the league

[owenbrown]

Bucs, Lions, Browns, Raiders, Rams, and either the Chiefs or Redskins

[D Mac]

Redskins :mad:

[Loose Cannon]

Hines Ward is a dickhead for saying what he said about Ben. where does he get off playing doctor all of a sudden. I can understand if it was some ankle injury or something, but seriously, shut your mouth. You don't fuck around with head injuries

[screech]

Hines Ward is a piece of shit. I'm not surprised.

[screech]

I'm not a fan of Ben by any means, but Ward should not have said what he did.

[parkmania]

Costas even gave Hines a chance to backpedal and he didn't. Hines STILL didn't offer any sort of apology this morning on ESPN.

Still, though, Steelers messed up HUGE by not even trying to sign a QB with NFL experience. Should have went after Garcia. Even with 5 days, a guy with that much experience probably knew most of our playbook simply by playing for so many different teams. Even if you assume that Ben would start, you know that he's fragile at the moment, and Batch was out with a broken hand.

And Ben really should have said something sooner than FRIDAY that he wasn't sure whether he was good to go.

[Reavant]

Hines is being especially hard on Ben because of how a couple years ago Ben threw him under the bus by saying he didnt have anybody to throw too. He meant he didnt have any tall guys to throw to but hines was pissed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Antonio Pierce placed on IR. Not really surprising, but damn. His career with the Giants might be over. :( Hope he returns as a coach someday.</font>

[Droford]

Who wins comeback player of the year?

Vince Young?
Tom Brady?
Brett Favre?
Carson Palmer?

[Londoner]

fuckin hell amazing touchdown!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Saints are pretty good

[SammyG]

Wow. really thought the Pats were gonna win convincingly.

[El Fangel]

Man, its great watching the Colts, they are amazing.

Sidenote - did anyone see the Gray Cup? Holy fucking crazy ending

[SammyG]

Yeah, the Colts had great drives to the 65 yard line, all the way to the 100 yard line.

and no, no one did.

[SammyG]

Nice pass to Moss. I dunno why, I really wanna see NE win this.

[Johnny Vegas]

NO is kicking Patriot ass

[Londoner]

Us english should sue new england over the naming rights.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Like a month ago I joked about the prospect of having two 16-0 teams. Now I can definitely see it happening. Holy shit.

I'd love to see the look on Mercury Morris' face if the Super Bowl wound up being 18-0 vs. 18-0.</font>

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow Saints dominating the Patriots right now. My confidence in the Patriots chances at winning a Super Bowl is dwindling.

Saints vs Vikings in the NFC Championship (if it gets to that obv) is gonna be "bananas"

[SammyG]

Missed FG. Never say never. Seen crazier shit happen.

[SammyG]

wow, nevermind. Backup is in.

[OssMan]

Neither team is going 16-0.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Holy shit, I may be the luckiest guy alive.

TD-only fantasy league. I fuck up by not starting Miles Austin this week, figuring Nnamdi would shut him down on Thanksgiving, but still carry a 1-point lead over my opponent heading into the Monday night game. I'm done for the week. He has Tom Brady and only needs Brady to throw one touchdown against a shaky-at-times Saints secondary. Brady gets shut out and isn't even in the game now.

[Droford]

Take all your money, raid your savings..raid your 401k..everything..and stick it on the Redskins next week vs the Saints (ATS of course, the Redskins probably wont win but the Saints aren't going to cover).

LOCK OF THE DECADE

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Patriots got dominated here, not like some of the other losses vs the Broncos or Colts were the other team squeaked by. Saints are pretty legit this year, I am officially "on-board"

Vikings looks pretty legit too though, really hope it works out in the playoffs and they face off against each other.

[SammyG]

lol, my buddy was talking mad shit. up 31 points on his fantasy matchup... Till Brees dropped 34 on him.

[McLegend]

Saints are really good though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

LOL Belicheck comes in while Brees is getting interviewed

I love it

I feel kinda bad for all of the bettors who had the over and didnt win cause Carney missed that FG.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHNAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Skippord]

The Redskins have a very very solid defense

[Shadow]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Stop it you're gonna kill me.

[Skippord]

watched a Redskins game this year?

[Droford]

Ive seen a few Skins games this year to know that they are better now than they were at the start of the season.

They've beat the spread 3 straight with a win vs Denver at home and 1 and 3 point losses to Dallas and Philly on the road when they were 10+ point dogs. They will at least be that at home vs the Saints on Sunday, if not more.

im comparing it to the 2007 Ravens/Patriots game in Baltimore. The Pats were 11-0 and the Ravens were 4-7, and the Ravens were well over 2 TD dogs and the Pats only ended up winning because the Ravens thought the game was over after 59 minutes and basically self destructed with penalties and bad plays and still came up 3 yards short of the upset.

[SammyG]

The Rams and KYLE SUPER BOLLER are gonna beat the BEARS

[FearedSanctity]

Please do

[Team Sheep]

Wow can't believe the score when I just woke up. Pats got killed.

[Droford]

The Rams and KYLE SUPER BOLLER are gonna beat the BEARS

I feel bad for anyone who has to sit through that game.

Boller might actually be better than Cutler at this point.

[Skippord]

who was it I told I'd rather have Orton than Cutler?

[screech]

I hate Kyle Boller.

[DaveBrawl]

who was it I told I'd rather have Orton than Cutler?

If it was like me, whoever it was laughed in your face. They likely aren't laughing now.

[FearedSanctity]

I do believe I had said earlier in this thread I preferred Orton over Cutler, even though Jay is much more talented, and was heavily criticized.

I don't know if Jay could do what Orton is. He's got an awesome arm, yeah, but he has a pretty lame football mind. So while Cutler could make the throws Orton struggles with and gets picked on, Kyle doesn't even make a fourth of the retarded attempts Jay does. 20 INTs 10 games into the season is ridiculous.

Cutler also tends to get frustrated easily, which leads to over/under throws and forced attempts. Orton is usually significantly calmer.

Though I do miss those deep bombs to Marshall, Royal and Sheffler :'(

[RatedGSuperstar]

stopped reading

The guys I started over Austin: Reggie Wayne, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall. The only guy who didn't score was Marshall, but he still lit up the Giants. It wasn't like I started a scrub over Austin...just unfortunate that I had 6 points sitting on the bench.

[Hanso Amore]

I want the Bills to lose Thursday for draft pick sake, but I also cant wait to see them ruin Sanchise once more.

If the bills only win 2 more games I pray its the Jets and Pats.

But we all know they wont beat the pats this year.

Also, apparently Weis is on the Bills radar...god no......

[Hanso Amore]

Somebody make a fantasy thread so I dont have to read this stupid shit.

[McLegend]

He's an excellent Offensive Coordinator.

[RP]

I think we know why Bellichek went for it on 4th and 2 now. New England has 11 Ellis Hobbs playing on there defense apprently.

Yea, the Pats defense is horrible. Saints looked great last night but I still think the Vikings are the best team in the league.

:love:

Who Dat??

[Reavant]

watched a Redskins game this year?

have you?

[Kris P Lettus]

The only way the Saints won't go 16-0 this year is if Marky Bruns starts some games at the end of the season to rest Brees for the playoffs.. That won't happen unless the Vikes lose some games between now and then..

[Reavant]

Id still have Cutler any day over orton... you could put payton manning in the bears offense and while he may not have as many picks, he would have just as shitty stats and the team would still have the same record. Its not the quarterback, its the senior citizens on the OL, our receiver core that consists of a converted DB as or number one receiver AND the worst offensive coordinator ever in ron turner

[Reavant]

theres no way the saints or the colts rest any guys at the end of the season if theyre still undefeated. The saints have never been good and they have a chip on their shoulder. The colts' arch rival is the patriots and you know they dont want the patriots to have that to themselves, especially with a new head coach at the helm.

[RatedGSuperstar]

The only way the Saints won't go 16-0 this year is if Marky Bruns starts some games at the end of the season to rest Brees for the playoffs.. That won't happen unless the Vikes lose some games between now and then..

I think the Saints have a better chance finishing 16-0 than the Colts do for this reason. New Orleans is going to be battling until the end of the season to make sure they don't lose homefield advantage to the Vikings, while the Colts will have everything sewn up early and already have a history of resting a few players here and there in the season's closing weeks (unless, of course, the Colts want to stick it to the Pats again by also going 16-0 and actually finish the job at the Super Bowl).

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints have been good several seasons, just not this good..

[Reavant]

calm down homer

[Kris P Lettus]

We made the NFC Championship 3 years ago..

[D Mac]

Let's go Saints!

[Nark Order]

...and GO Chargers!!

:shifty:

[DrA]

That year the Saints made the NFC champsionship was probably the weakest the NFC had ever been. With a couple of exceptions, every team in that conference was awful that year. It was a mess.

[Kris P Lettus]

That year, the Saints had the number 1 offense in the NFL.. All we lacked then (and since) was a good defense, which we now have..

[Skippord]

have you?
yes, they have a very good defense

[Skippord]

Jesus I hope the Saints lose

[Shadow]

If they had such a good defense they wouldn't be 3-8 now would they?

[Droford]

The Redksins main problem is their offense which was only a little better than the Browns. But ever since they took offensive playcalling away from Zorn, they've done better despite losing Portis and Betts at RB.

Their defense being one of the best in the league vs the pass is inflated due to playing so many god awful teams with horrible QBs but its still pretty decent.

[Reavant]

yes, they have a very good defense

they have a very good pass defense.... show me a team with high ranked pass defense and i will show you a team that is getting run all over which the saints can do

[FearedSanctity]

If they had such a good defense they wouldn't be 3-8 now would they?

So in other words, you haven't seen a game then?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Joe Gerardi came in to teach Mark Sanchez how to properly slide.

Glad to see supercoach Rex Ryan is taking care of business in New York. Didn't think the Week 2 Super Bowl could have been topped but he might have done it today

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I can't tell if this is just for publicity or if they actually needed to bring someone in to teach him how to slide.

I'm impressed the Redskin's don't end up with way more delay of game penalties with all of the plays having to go between 2-3 guys to get to the qb.

We trying to put the CFL out of business or something?

Manning left mark after signature winComment Email Print Share By Tim MacMahon

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning acknowledged Thursday that the autograph on the wall of the visiting locker room at Cowboys Stadium is authentic.


Galloway & Co.: 12/3
Giants' defensive end Justin Tuck gives his thoughts on Eli's autograph and Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

More Podcasts »

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James considers the signature a form of taunting, much like Giants running back Brandon Jacobs postgame dance on the star at midfield after New York's 33-31 victory in the grand opening of the $1.2 billion stadium. The autograph was accompanied by the score of the game and "First win in the New Stadium."

"We won't forget that," said James, a defensive captain who ranted Wednesday about his dislike of the Giants. "It just makes for a more intense game."

Manning confirmed that the signature was his, but he said he didn't intend the autograph as a taunt. He said he just granted the request of a locker room attendant.

"Yeah, it's a pretty common thing," Manning told reporters at the Giants' practice facility. "I was asked to sign it, it wasn't like I just went there and signed it. I didn't have a pen on me or anything. It was all supplied."

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said he "didn't think it was a great thing to do" and seemed puzzled by Manning's explanation.

"Things come back around in this league," Phillips said.

Manning did not seem concerned when told that the Cowboys were using his autograph as motivational fodder.

"Yeah, I kind of heard a few things about it,'' Manning said. "I figure they'll eventually get over it."

Nope

Ted Rogers wanted to buy an NFL team.

As a test he paid the Bills Owner Ralph Wilson 86 million dollars to hosts 6 games or so in toronto.

He then died last year. The games have failed, and the parties are kind of playing it out...

Yes wade things like that do come back around. In the form of you delivering his pizza and him signing the credit card receipt.

So has anyone else noticed that Matt Millen is actually a really good color commentator? He's been doing a big chunk of college games this year and he did the Bills/Jets game. As shocking as it seems, he actually appears to know what he's talking about.

Pretty sure he was a "big time" commentator before he left to do his great job with the Lions.

I don't dislike the Saints or anything ,but they keep showing that annoying pre game chant every single pre game show like if we haven't seen it 100 times before.

I'll root for them to lose if it means I won't get to hear it again.
