2009 NFL Season Thread

Some fans around here are clamoring for the Lambs to draft Sam Bradford.

If he's available somewhere in the late 2nd round or thereafter, fine but otherwise I think these people are idiots. The guy has had 2 shoulder surgeries in a year; do you really want to invest a multiyear, multi-million dollar contract on that? I sure hope not.

Consensus seems to be the Lambs should draft that D line guy out of Nebraska who's name I can't pronounce.

Spurrier is a defense guy, he'll probably want a D line guy over offense. YOu guys also need a O line, bad

Ahhh...just watched the Saints/Pats game. I had a lovely time watching the Saints hand the Pats their asses!

i am beginning to think the eagles need to draft a new head coach....

Steelers put up a good fight without a couple critical starters but couldn't pull it off. This season looks like it might be a waste unless they can win their last 5 (looking at the schedule it's possible).

TWO IN A ROW!! GIANTS, FTW!!!

it will be an interesting game against the cowboys this week!

I am looking forward to it!!!! Payback time for the loss to the gints earlier this season.

CRACK KILLLLZZZZ BROTHA!!!! The 'Boys are going DOWN....again!

This game will show where the 'Boys are really at after a couple squeaker wins and the bye week vs. the Raiders. At least they are healthy again.

I think the Rams should draft nothing but really fat guys for the offensive line. It's been porous.

Boy the Saints really steamrolled the Patriots... they might be the real deal...

Shoot the Pats end result made the Giants look like a 1AA club. We got smoked. It was the day my bubble burst.

The Saints are the only team that can beat the Colts. I am predicting two undefeated teams in the Super Bowl. That would be friggin' cool!

Not to change the subject but in the SEC Conference the Gators and Alabama could actually beat most of the teams in the NFL right now. I am not a huge Gators fan but watching them play is like watching a Pro Team scrimmage against a High School team.

I think the Vikings could beat the Colts.

I disagree that any college team could beat a pro team. Pro teams are the best players off the college teams. Look at how hard it is for many great college players to make the jump initially.

I respect that. College players play for the opportunity to go Pro, Pro players play for a big fat check regardless of whether they win or lose.

I'm a Colts fan, but Adrian Peterson, Favre and Harvins would devour the Colts defense like a cheap pizza at a high school party. It would be a massacre.

I disagree with that also - there is no way the best college team could beat the rams or lions. Truthfully, at that level of play, there isn't that big of a difference between the best and worst teams in the NFL.

I would agree with you as well.

Who do you guys think will end up in the super bowl?

To early to tell for sure, but on the AFC: Colts or Chargers

For the NFC, I want the Cowboys to get in and win it all!!!!! But, this is probably bot their year (next year when they fire Wade and promote Jason Garrett to HC.) I think it will either be the Saints or the Vikes. If the Colts get in, not sure who would win against Vikings or Saints. If the Chargers get in, NFC wins it.

Of course i want the Vikes in, 've never even seen 'em play in the SB.

I say Chargers and i won't pick the NFC.

Vikings VS Bengals

Hear me out before ripping me. No, I'm not a Cincy fan AT ALL. I'm a Giants/Colts fan period.

This is my logic and breakdown of why I believe the Stripes will get through the AFC playoffs (if the season ended with the same standings as right now).
1. They not only have a running game they have a great run game (3rd in the NFL) and the most consistent in the AFC among playoff bound teams.
2. They have a potent receiving core and a top 5 QB in the AFC capable of putting up huge numbers.

So they have the most balanced offense IMO....Unlike the Colts. We've seen it before, we will see it again. The Colts and every other team out there like them, will not survive the playoffs without a "better than average" run game. And they don't even have an "average" run game. They have a "broken" run game.

The Bengals also have the 6th best defense in the AFC compared the Colts at 15th and dropping. The Bengals have also beaten some big teams on the road and won some huge games. The Colts....not so much.

Also...the Colts without Bob Sanders and a healthy Freeney are utterly doomed. Even with the two of them, they could barely stop Alex Smith and the lowly Niners (I was there!). All those 4th quarter comebacks every week by Manning are to me, a warning sign of serious problems to come.

New Orleans vs. Colts...

T-Roy - you know, the bungles could possible do it. I think it's interesting that TJ is gone and the offense if better. Chad 82 is a diva, but seems they made the better choice keeping him around.
