Around the NFL - 2009

[ice grillin you]

other than detroit and st louis youd be hard pressed to find an nfc team that would shock you if they made the superbowl....the conference is wack


having the cowboys ahead of the eagles is laughable. 
the seahawks winning the west is ludacris.
the texans winning the south is hilariously boneheaded.


none of these are even close to as ridiculous as you say...especially the seahawks winning that travesty of a division...texans call is ballsy but i wouldnt say its outrageous...if the colts falter a little and with all their changes and mannings age they could the texans could sneak in...i dont think its gonna happen but it wouldnt chock me...i think they are a good upset type pick

[PhillyPhreak54]

igy talkin' like a Mexican...."it wouldn't chock me, ese"

The Giants absolutely could win the East. Their defense is very good. If Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden end up being as good as they have looked so far, that gives that little rag armed dickhead someone to throw to.

The NFC North is going to be fun to watch. Minnesota has a very good defense and if Favre does half decent, he can make the offense pretty damn good. The Bears, with Cutler, have a serviceable offense. Forte and Cutler and sprinkle in their zesty WRs and it can be good enough. And the Packers are going to be good as well...if their OL and defense can man up.

Texans are a lot of people darkhorse as well...but unless Schaub stays healthy ain't nothing gonna happen. They need him on the field and for their defense to play above average.

If Schaub goes down, Orvlosky isnt going to do anything.  Just found out that the old Eagles Cheerleader Adrienne who worked at Chesapeake Inn right by me married Orvlosky, good catch for him

[General_Failure]

Bears have the easiest schedule in the NFL. They have a solid offense and a solid defense. Neither unit is going to blow people away but they could definitely make a deep playoff run.

Deep playoff run meaning they get a bye week and lose when they face a playoff team?

[QB Eagles]

My prediction: the SI predictions will be about as accurate as last years.

The Bucs fired their new OC Jeff Jagodzinski 10 days before the opener.  This is the guy that was kicked out of Boston College because he interviewed with the Jets...

[reese125]

After seeing a live Ustrem video of Pacman Jones, he sealed his fate once again with stupidity and Winnipeg retracted their offer...oh and his fiance is a banger

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2088789

"Don't throw no dollars at me," said Pacman Jones in the Ustream video. "If you want to throw somethin' at me, throw me an NFL contract, man."

"I've got a clause in my contract, when I get a call from an NFL team I can go over," he said. "I actually got two calls today, so if they tell me tomorrow that Pacman's back, that'd be a bummer for all my Winnipeg fans."

One Winnipeg fan called in to chat Pacman Jones during livestream and told him about the cold weather. Jones didn't seem bother by it. "Pain is only temporary," he said. "Besides, I'm only gonna be there for eight weeks, or shorter."

was listening to jim rome rip pacman for about 20 minutes today.  what a farging idiot. 

[ice grillin you]

just saw that the bills now fired their OC....wtf?

[BigEd76]

crazy.  I don't think I've ever seen 3 coordinators get fired during one preseason...

[methdeez]

The Bills should have been the first to be fired, havn't they not even scored an offensive TD this preseason?

[Sgt PSN]

I guess firing the OCs in the in thing to do.

Marty better watch out.

Oh right, the Eagles do not fire incompetent people
