NFL 2008-2009

The Chiefs have already made me proud by hurting Tom Brady and getting him out for the rest of the season.

Actually I'm kidding, it's going to suck not seeing good footbal all season now. Sorry bostonites. That was such a pussy hit though, the guy was crawling towards him and he's out for the season?

yeah i dunno what happened there. should be an interesting season all around though.

It will be interesting to see what happens in New England over this season & next. Is Randy Moss gonna get all sullen & quit? How will Brady bounce back? They should still be a good team w/their running game & defense, though. I'd still pick them to win their division but my predictions are usually wrong so there you go.

I had the Bears written off, but they beat the Colts somehow. This week they play against the Panthers, who upset the Chargers last week, so if the Bears win this game I'd expect a lot of "the Bears are back" hype. I don't think they're back. Back to the 2005 season maybe, if Forte can play this well consistently.

i think the main reason that the bears smashed the colts is because 3 of the offensive linemen were rookies (including the center)

i want to see Devin Hester as a wide receiver though

They'd be better off if they just snapped the ball back to him 25 yards and let him run from there. The o-line would take care of him.

Bears offense is looking surprisingly proficient so far. Nice to see the unit stay on the field & chew up time, even if the defense/special teams are putting up the points.

I didn't know Kyle Orton could throw the ball fifty yards. Sweet.

Hester's fast but he'll have to run better routes & show better hands if he'll be anything more than a decoy or ball-carrier on end-arounds & reverses. Edit - he did just pick up a first down on a nice underneath route. Don't remember seeing that from him before.

I can't believe how bad the Chiefs are. Larry Johnson is gone (figuratively), and it looks like Glenn Dorsey is worthless.

At least they get to play the Raiders twice. That will be awful.

Hate the Bears play calling in the 2nd half. Jonathan Stewart is breaking tackles all over the place.

well, the bears just lost.
if orton did not blow those 2 longer passes, we might have 7 more points on the board.

this week i started:

marvin harrison (16 yards)
larry johnson (22 yards)
roy williams (also awful)
instead of these guys on my fantasy bench:

anthony gonzalez (130 yards recieving)
mcfadden (160 yards and a td)

i suck at this

bdams19 · Post by **bdams19** » 14 Sep 2008 15:21

and earnest graham is also on the bench lol

Tripp · Post by **Tripp** » 14 Sep 2008 15:43

I benched Kurt Warner and Chris Chambers. Both bad moves.

Anyone see the ending to the San Diego / Denver game? SD got so totally screwed with that fumble that was not called a fumble.

Glad I'm not a Chargers fan.

yea that was so awful... but what a ballsy call to go for two there

Frank_Sinatra · Post by **Frank_Sinatra** » 15 Sep 2008 14:15

Is it just me, or did this week make a lot of teams look bad? Cleveland - not for real. Jets - not for real. Bears, Vikings, Colts, all looked like they weren't playing up to their potential. Bengals are terrible (not that I expected much). Jacksonville's 0-2. San Diego's 0-2.

It is only week two. I'm sure of some of those teams will turn things around. And there's still tonight's game. I really hope the Cowboys aren't on their way to another Super Bowl run. Seems like the NFC East is stacked with good teams and every other NFC division is crappy. I mean... the Cardinals could win their division. What is the world coming to?

Eric.K · Post by **Eric.K** » 15 Sep 2008 15:33

how about zambrano almost perfect pitching game. the umpire was stupid, every one of those was a strike..but were ruled as balls.

so what should have been a perfect game was a no hitter...

as a chargers fan surely you jest? they got robbed two weeks in a row! The rams are just so god awful and of course I picked steven jackson first in both leagues (with 3rd and 4th pick) that they can't even get a single drive down the field. The colts lined is massively banged up and they are plagued by injuries, so this was expected. I think the jets look pretty good and Cassel is not turning the ball over which gives the Pats a great chance at winning any game. The vikings definately look like they can be great with their defense and AP running over teams but they are gonna need some help at WR to prevent teams from stackign the box. The cowboys / eagles look really good this year; tonight is gonna be a great game.

jets?

bdams19 · Post by **bdams19** » 19 Sep 2008 21:51

Jets look pretty good but their offensive coordinator better step his redzone game up. Their momentum was totally killed against the Pats and the crowd was completely taken out of it. Their run d is killer though and Thomas Jones is picking it up and makes a good complement to favre.

Max Power · Post by **Max Power** » 21 Sep 2008 06:35

The Bills are gonna be a good team this year. The Jets are not going to be very good, teams are not just QB's. You can't give a 4-12 team Farve and expect them to be a 12-4 team. The pats will be just fine not as good as they could be but they still might take the division. The Chargers will be fine too, they will win there division for sure, it might be the weakest in the NFL.

lol, Miami is destroying the pats. Lovin' it.

Not liking how bad the chiefs are. It's times like these I wish I was a fairweather fan.
