2008-09 NFL Season Thread

Is there another NFL thread? This one is DEAD! Last year this thread was updated a few times a game let alone an entire week!

Anyway, the Broncos have to be the luckiest team in the league. If they keep rolling the dice this well, they're going to win the Super Bowl -- UNDEFEATED!
 
WTF was Carson Palmer thinking at the end of that game?Talk about poor clock management..They lost at least 15 seconds and could have taken a couple shots at the endzone...

Yeah, I saw that. Not nearly as bad as the Raiders. The Raiders let the Bills go all the way down the field... and it was clear that they were going to get a field goal which would put them up by a point. Instead of calling a timeout and stopping the clock with about 35 seconds on it (so they could have a chance at scoring a field goal of their own), the Raiders let the Bills run the clock all the way down to 3 seconds.

Of course, they nailed the field goal and won the game with no time left. The Raiders had two timeouts left in their back pocket!

Hell, if Al doesn't fire the coach tomorrow, I'll drive up there and do it myself!

Idiots!
 
Yeah,saw that on the hilites..Being that it was the Raiders,can't say I'm surprised.As long as Al owns the Raiders,expect more of the same...Eagles looked good.Ben spent the better part of the game wiping the grass off his ass. Skins also had a nice game..NFCE is by far the best division in the NFL..
 
Grrr!

I drank the Kool-Aid from the green and yellow cup and now I'm paying the price. What the hell was I thinking?!

Aaron Rogers came back down to earth. He made Brett look good. :mad:

Romo looks great. He's a little loosy-goosey but that's probably good for a QB.

Right now, I think it's going to be Denver and the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. Sigh.

Probably Kiffen sticking it to Al. I love seeing the raiders lose!

Broncos look good and lucky. Our _efense is pretty bad. But they did look better than last week. We at least had some turnovers and huge stops (goalline and the 3rd and 1 at the end). I'm not liking these turnovers in the red zone though. Those have to stop.

yep. rodgers looked like a scared kid on the field. every handoff he held the ball way out from his body to make it so obvious it was a handoff and then ran away after. brett always waited to hand it off and then turned around and made like he was throwing down field. It might have still been obvious but I think it still makes a difference in the defensive perception of whats happening.

And you really think Favre would have fared much better that game? The one GB turnover was a fumble by Grant. GB's running has sucked this entire season so far, and we're being forced to pass more than they'd like (much like the beginning of last year).

The only difference I could see in last nights game if Favre had been there would have been a couple of INTs for the 'Boys, and maybe a TD or two for the Pack. Might have been a closer game but GB still would have lost.

Rodgers still has progress to be made but he's doing well with the team so far. We're not going down in flames (yet) and GB looks like they can play with the big boys without getting completely embarrassed, and can at least keep themselves in the game to the end.

I guess I didn't quite drink the kool-aid enough to see Rodgers as the second coming of Favre, and was expecting a much rougher season than it's starting out to be. Of course it could get worse, the season is young, but I'm still not too worried.

over all I agree. the boys defense did a 180 from the eagles game and completely stifled the pack

DAMN YOU Martin Grammatica.......

Denver gets lucky again. Well, half lucky - you guys stuffed us on a easy to make 3rd and 1. Deuce would have converted that.

As a dyed in the wool Saints dude, I'm a big Cutler fan. I think he'll be an elite QB before his time is done. I certainly wish I would have drafted him!

I don't understand how Matt Millen still has a job.

Even Ford's son is questioning his father's decision,lol:
WILLIAM CLAY FORD JR ADDS VOICE TO “FIRE MILLEN” MOVEMENT

Through seven-plus years of futility, Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford Sr. has inexplicably stood behind his team president, Matt Millen.

It’s now reached the point where even Ford’s own son is publicly questioning his father.

Asked today what he thought of the way the Lions played yesterday at San Francisco, William Clay Ford Jr. said, “It was an embarrassment, the fans deserve better, and if I had the authority, I would have fired the general manager.”

When asked again, directly, if he would fire Millen, Ford Jr. said, “Yes, but I don’t have that authority.”

And that’s the bottom line: Ford Jr. doesn’t have that authority, and as long as Ford Sr. is alive, Millen’s job appears to be

Al Harris may be done for the year:
AL HARRIS COULD BE DONE FOR SEASON

Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris has started every game since the Packers acquired him in a trade prior to the 2003 season, but that streak appears close to ending.

Harris, who had to leave Sunday night’s game against the Cowboys with an undisclosed injury, may have a ruptured spleen. He is reportedly getting a second opinion, but the injury could end his season.

Harris suffered the injury in the first quarter when he ran into Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after the game that doctors held him out because there was blood in his urine.

If Harris is out, Tramon Williams would likely move into the starting lineup opposite Charles Woodson.
