NFL 2009

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. The Saints beat the team that I considered to be the best in the NFC pretty handily. Up until then I was pretty skeptical about just how good the team actually was. Just makes sense to me.

I'm starting to believe in the Broncos now too. They just keep winning. You can't really argue with that. Granted that the Chargers have a porous defense, but they have a legitimate offense, and they did a good job stopping them.

The Steelers' next two games are at home against the Vikings, then (after a bye) away against the Broncos...should be interesting. They haven't really played any serious competition yet.

I meant it didn't take much to be the best in the NFC. Only Minnesota is any real competition
 
Goodell expects multiple games in Britain soon

I don't like it.

I don't like it either. Don't mind the whole pick a site somewhere in the World and play a game once in a while...showcase the NFL for some foreign fans. But I don't get the trying to expand thing...why? The sport is great in the states and the SB is a huge deal throughout the world...maybe second only to the World Cup? If anything, I'd rather see expansion in some US cities that may deserve a team and would help a city or region thrive (in our own country)?

New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles. So yeah not that great a conference, but neither is the AFC.

Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Colts, Patriots

Yeah. It has to be tough on the teams that go play. It's an unnecessary travel situation thrown at teams who may have to play the previous or next week. It's tough enough on teams when they travel across the US to play. It just seems like pure marketing at the expense of the actual players, and potentially at the expense of un-tampered-with game results.

Yep, correct. I really didn't even think of the whole travel thing. I know this may be drastic...but imagine lets say the Chargers go and play the London fuckin Redcoats...then have to play the Jets in NY the following week? Players would love that shit.
 
All teams that have played in London get their bye week right after the London game.

Still don't like it. Sooooo..the Chargers play at home against the Broncos, then fly to London...then have a bye week? Then they'll be so fucked up they won't know what the hell to do?:lol:
Speaking of the Broncos and the mile high city with its effect on players breathing ..whats the altitude / elevation and such over in Europe? Now we have to figure out the altitude plus the travel / time difference?:yell:

The 2015 schedule from hell...
Pats @ Jets
Pats hm.v Chargers
Pats @ London Red Coats
Pats @ Tokyo Sushi-Maulers
Pats hm.v Colts
Pats back out @ the Paris Troop-withdrawers
Pats hm. v Miami
Pats @ Miami...I mean Cuba...

Pats start 6-2 losing to Tokyo and Paris
sorry..getting carried away with this!;)

Actually...lets continue the "name a foreign countries team / maskot"? This could be fun...go!
 
Well this game was one I was predicting would happen. If the Saints come back to win it I'll be surprised.

Something about the Dolphins just screamed "upset."
 
^They are coming back. I don't know what's wrong with the Dolphins. They have had incomplete passes resulting in two three-and-outs on their last two possessions. It's like they got spooked by the Saints, and thought they were WAY behind. Now they are behind, and have to punt.

Miami is handing the game to the Saints.
 
Wow haha, what a fucking comeback victory.

I won't say it was all on us, a lot of that game going our way was as a result of shit play calling and major mistakes by the Dolphins. You're passing when you have been raping us with the Wildcat run WHY? Ginn may have the worst hands in big pressure situations in the game, two MAJOR costly dropps. And LMAO @ Camarillo costing them a key down by throwing the ball out of bounds.

That game WAS the Dolphins game until the Saints showed up BIG TIME in the second quarter - but especially the fourth.

Oddly enough this win made me feel a LOT more confident in the Saints than any of their blowout victories did. It proved to me that they can make the adjustments needed to come back from behind. While the Fish did help them with the victory our defense made big plays that gave us back the ball.

Vilma was virtually unblocked all day, Sharper ball hawking it up like a motherfucker, Porter causing Sharpers pick six and answers it late in the game with one of his own.

AND the Falcons lost so now we've got a 2 game lead on the NFC South!

Just hope they don't suddenly revert to their normal form, the Ain'ts and suck it up the next part of the season.
