2009 NFL Season Thread

As a Cowboys fan, I just LOVE that the redskins lost to a team that had a 19 game losing streak!!!!!

And how about Brett Favre? What a comeback!!!!!! I am loving the Directv Sunday Ticket Red Zone channel!!!!!

Man, I'm still shaking after that vikes win. Incredible.

Lions are one of my favorites, thrilled the streak has finally broken.

I'm impressed with the Vikes, as a Seahawks & Cowboys fan, I'm disappointed thus far with both of them.

Steelers are off to a disappointing start

I'm happy about that!

I swore off the Vikings when I moved from Minnesota, but I gotta admit that they have an interesting product going there this year. I wish them well I guess...

I will give credit where credit is due, the Favre pass adds to his already legendary status. As a Packer fan though, I still feel like puking when I see him with that Viking uniform on. Then again, I'm used to seeing not only Packers being picked up via free agency by the Vikings (Jim Nelson Jr., Ryan Longwell, Darren Sharper, Robert Ferguson & now Favre), but also former Badgers drafted by the Vikings (Michael Bennett, Erasmus James, Andy Kemp, Nick Davis, Pete Monty, & Brooks Bollinger). Not to mention the fact that both the head coach Brad Childress and the offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell are both ex Badgers. I can't forget about Sherman Lewis ex Packer offensive coordinator also ended up becoming the Vikings offensive coordinator later on.

Thank God the Packers have never made it a priority to pickup ex Vikings. Though Koren Robinson would fall under that category. Then again, Koren was a drunk when he was with the Vikings, and then turned his life around when he went to the Packers. Interesting correlation. The last Gopher I think we drafted was Darrell Thompson, and in typical fashion he was awful.

Should be an interesting weekend as the state of Wisconsin and Minnesota have a double dip this weekend.

NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS BABY!!!

New York looks very good. Dallas could have beat them without the turnovers but Dallas is saying that too much lately. Bad start for some big contenders last year but it's still early.

It was even the turnovers that caused the loss - Dallas' big "D" failed BIG TIME! with THAT much talent they should have stopped them!!!! I mean, they had four 3 & outs in a row last night! Yes, it was the Panthers, but they should have played like that against the Giants!

The panthers are terrible. I thought when the Eagles beat them they were good but the panthers have huge problems... I still think the NFC East is two team race - Giants and Eagles. The Cowboys QB play has been suspect andtheir defense is not what it needs to be..

I'm so disappointed in the Seahawks & Cowboys this year, even thought they are my faves I'm hoping the Vikes take it this year.

Let's take it easy on the Hawks, they have a TON of starting players out. I think I remember hearing there were like 9 starters out at one point.

Regardless, I don't think Mora is going to be the answer for that team, I've never been convinced that he's mature enough to coach a successful team.

Pretty soon it will be time to start searching for a new QB, Hasselback is talented...but he's been injured almost every year since the Super Bowl appearance....him and McNabb must be related.

d, I'm still loyal to my teams but to tell you the truth...
I've never been big on Hasselbeck (or Romo for that matter), as for Mora I agree, I was hoping when Holmgren was with them they'd have pushed for Favre.

Go Vikes! I hope that this is the year. We are definitely owed one and this is our best chance since 1998.

I am looking forward to seeing Mcnabb play again vs the Bucs!

I don't care a lick about Faith Hill's music, but she's wildly attractive in the Sunday Night Football theme song. I never knew!
