NFL 2009 Season Thread
 

With the Hall of Fame Game tonight, Bills vs Titans, it is the beginning of pre-season.. The regular season is so close I can taste it.. I just hop I am able to make it to atleast one Saints game this year as I haven't been since before Hurricane Katrina.. Just look at it this way, the last game I went to our QB was Aaron Brooks and our star WR was Joe Horn.. That was a long time ago..

I am so ready for kickoff tonight, even though it's just pre-season..

Come on DOG why you gotta be "different?" Couldn't make the title "NFL 2009 Season Thread" like every other sports thread? lol

lol

OK

Has anyone watched The T.O. Show??

Those two hating bitches get on my nerves so f'n bad.. I guess they are on there to make people like him more because compared to them, he is a very likable guy..

:o

<font color=goldenrod>I'll watch a little bit just for the sake of seeing actual football. Stupid Giants aren't playing until a week from Monday. Gonna be real paranoid during pre-season though after seeing Osi get a season-ending injury against the Jets. Seems like every year there is at least one big name that gets a huge season-ending injury in preseason. Just wanna see them come out unscathed.

The regular season actually starts later than usual this year. Shit.</font> :(

Wish Sky would sort something out. No pre season at all on UK TV this year. I just want to watch some NFL, even if it is just pre season.

Vito, your posts make me so depressed. You're going to be completely bald by the time you're 25 the way you worry about everything.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah. :( Add that to the fact that baldness runs in the family. :shifty:

To be fair though, the Giants do have ridiculous amount of defensive depth if an injury happens there. Osi's injury last year didn't hurt the D that much and now they have him back plus Canty, Bernard, Boley, etc.

Offensive injuries are the main concern for me. They are thin at wideout depth as is...can't afford anyone getting banged up there, plus Jacobs.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>ROFL @ the Titans punter getting a 40 yard TD run.</font>

That was awesome.. As was that OG getting man handled to cause the INT..

Vince Young is playing like shit..

LOL @ Chris Mortensen's kid

and the camera cutting to Mortensen's disappointment

lol wish I was there to see that.

Awesome..

One of the best trick plays I've ever seen. That punter is ballin'.

NFL network shows ALL the preseason games. :cool:

AJ Trapasso baby. Gonna miss him in Columbus this year.

That was awesome. Although I probably won't give too much hope for the Titans this year :(

Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals starts tomorrow night on HBO

Can't wait. Still the most painfully ironic name for a show though :'(

I really don't know how that fake punt worked, once they saw the wing back start to motion back like that they should have known something was up and not gone balls out to block the punt. Even if they taught if they were running the reverse they should have just hung back a bit and stayed square, Griffin would have run like 17 yards to get a first down (it was 4th and 10)

Not trying to hate since it was a cool looking play but it should have never worked, doesn't matter if its preseason or not.

If you look at the replay, one of the Bills hangs back to snuff out the fake and then gets juked right on the Hall of Fame logo by Trapasso.

He gets deked by the fake end around but I guess at least he hung back a bit. Still though if you have ever played a down of football you gotta thing something is up there, why the fuck would they do that motion?

I dunno, I mean I guess you have to still try to block the punt if you're that close in case it's only a decoy. But yeah they definitely handled it poorly.

Saints are bringing in 36 year old former Bucs LB Derrick Brooks today for a workout due to the possible season ending injury to Mark Simoneau.. I know he is old, but when he was healthy last year he was still a beast..

Yeah I guess the decoy thing could be the biggest problem, still though if I saw that happening in front of me my first reaction wouldn't be to try to block a punt. I would be so caught off guard by that motion I don't know what I would have done, definitely not that though lol

Honestly, I dont care about the punt fake as a bills fan. Much more angered me. I figure even the guys who role is to block the fake didntthink someone would bust it out in the preseason.

Seriously, Fisher is an amazing coach, but he blew that play for the year.

<font color=goldenrod>That play wouldn't have worked in the regular season anyway because AJ Trapasso isn't going to be their punter. I doubt Craig Hentrich could pull off a run like that.</font>

dunno but LOL

I wish Tony Romo was St.Louis's QB

Let's go Vikes. I think we can make a good run this year.

Vick to the Eagles

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4397938

lol wow

How long before some Eagles fan throws dog food (or worse?) at Vick durring a game?

Not sure how I feel about Vick going to the Eagles.

Isn't he not allowed to play until like, Week 6?

He's never won a playoff game and is a huge choke artist. ESPN just hypes him up becaues he's on the Cowboys and fucked Jessica Simpson, to which I say good for him but it doesn't make him a great quarterback

He's allowed to play in the preseason but not in the regular season until a decision is made and the deadline for that decision is week 6.

<font color=goldenrod>And I'm pretty sure Jessica Simpson has been outspoken about no sex till marriage...so yeah, Romo fails.</font> :cool:

I'm sure Nick Lachey gave it to her repeatedly anyway... were they married? oh wait, i think they were. Meh.

RAMS JETS PRESEASON TODAY YEAH..

Too bad I am in greece. I fly out at 8 am tomorrow morning, rams game at 2 am live my time. Prolly gonna stay up and watch it, then pack and fly out.
