The official 2009 NFL season thread

When I heard Ronnie Brown was down for the season I was thinking Phins were done.
They don't have a great set of receivers (their best are Davone Bess and Ted Ginn....) a n00b QB and the heart of their offense is down.
But, maybe Ricky CAN carry the team and not just be a complimentary role.

I've always liked him. Good guy, smart and had his issues to deal with while being a huge star. I'm glad his career has rebounded.

The Vikings made it look so easy today. Favre was ridiculously good passing for 88% Completion with 4 TDS. People at 40 aren't supposed to do this. The Vikings are a force. I can't wait til they face the Bears. Favre has some scores to settle with them.

How about those Chiefs? But then again, there goes the decent draft pick

Lions & Pack on Turkey Day.....oh  yeah!

Scott, thanks for the Kara tip.  I just watched the preview  online.

That was damn close though and Cleveland really should have won (why would you interfere on a hail Mary that clearly wasn't going to happen?). Oh well, it was an exciting game and I'm glad Detroit won. I'm just so fed up with The Browns that it's gotten to that point of resigned laughter.

Went to the Bucs game today, arrived early 9:30am, tailgated, had fun, bought a ticket for $10.. started in the nose bleeds, by the 2nd qtr was on the 30 yard line

No I scoped the section out, there were like 8 empty seats the entire first quarter, and then its a matter of timing to get by the section guard, full hands help, and knowing where you are going

Peyton has been a little int happy the past two weeks. Had a real shot to win that one.

Great game! It may not be prime time, but that Titans/Texans rivalry really is intense. So many fights broke out.

I've been pretty rough on Vince Young, rightfully so IMO, but he may be developing into a good QB. He's been doing pretty good at a drop back, stay in the pocket passer and has looked patient. Takes off to run only when he needs.
The Young/Johnson combo is damn explosive and glad to see Kenny Britt have a good game. (May not go to Rutgers but still my home school).

Have to wonder why the Texans tried a QB run, instead of a pass to shorten that FG. Even hand it to the back. 3 or 4 yards would've helped. Ah well...
Texans have a pretty good team, but congrats to the Titans.
