The official 2009 NFL season thread

It could also be said that the stunning offensive line wouldn't have been the same without Manning all these years.

Anyway, imagine this so anti-anti result: the two best teams with the best seasons are going to the superbowl! Who would have thought...

Now I'm really looking forward to the SuperBowl. I hope the Colts win.

Well, Saints DID win. One sloppy sloppy game but hey...

GO SAINTS!

Also, I seem to recall a few people raving endlessly about Favre, especially before the season even began.
I will grant that:
He had on his best seasons ever, and was one of the top 3 QBs that played this year.

However, I said his body can't take it....
Not to jab at someone getting injured but Brett made it a long way but his body just finally couldnt take it....He looked like a defeated man, in so many ways.

Well, his last pass was a pick....will he come back to try and remedy that?

^ Your hatred of the Colts and Manning is lovely. If you didn't have that avatar it would even qualify as cute.    

And obviously you know that chances in Miami (Dolphin stadium is just 30 minutes from where I live) of rain are slim in february, and chances of snow are slim in... the 21st century.

Oh man, there's at least a 50% chance you'll have to suffer endless days of seeing Manning's face everywhere... Well, maybe you'll love him after that. Or who knows, maybe you already do!

On another matter, I much prefer any kind of sports personality taking over the role of sports icon other than a goddamned golfer...

Please... Golf... A nice game for retirees maybe... But a SPORT?

Oh well, maybe it is a bloody, exhausting, incredibly challenging sport. I still prefer games where there's a little bit more at risk than the sole of your shoes... And where you can see more of a team effort.

Wrong thread anyway. It's you who brought up Tiger W!

^Actually, I'll give it to you, those are good points....

Ouch, it was pretty brutal to watch him get hit like that.  Clean hits I'm fine with.  Going for the legs, and lifting and driving guys you already have in grasp is playing to injure, which I think is really lame.  I do actually think the Saints game plan was to take some cheap shots.   The announcers and their fans might not believe that, but its my personal opinion. 

I retract my agreement with Pat that the Vikes are not of the same level as these teams.  After watching these supposedly elite teams the last few weeks, I think the Vikings can compete well with any of them.  One stupid throw less by Brett and the Saints would have been eliminated. 
Colts?  Good yeah, but they can be beat too.  I'm not saying the Vikings are some dominant team, I'm just saying after watching these other teams that the Vikes can compete with any of them. 

Anyway, I have so much respect for what Favre accomplished this year.  Plus he made me give a rip about football again.  I haven't cared about sports in a long long time.  It was great watching him because he truly was having fun out there, and the recievers were feeding off that energy.  If Peterson could hang on to a football, we could have won a couple more games this year.  He's gotta get some hands.
GREAT year Brett

Wrong!! Its football and its the championships. You have a def lineman pushing 250-275 going full steam at a guy not moving, collision happens and QB gets lifted off the ground..DUH that's what happens. These guys are taught from pee-wee league all thru college to "wrap up" and tackle. I do agree there should be no head shots...which none happened Sunday.
