2009 NFL Season

[nokids]

So, we're my 49ers Defens ethat good, or was Cutler that bad??? He ciould of run the ball into the endzone to win tyhe game - IDIOT!!!!

No Kids - I'll say New Orleans scores 41 and St. Louis, 17.

Cheers.

Donny called 41 already. Only the amount of points that the Saints score matters.

[nokids]

Same old Jets.

Should be a good game between the Patriots and the Colts tonight. My two favourite teams are playing. Here's hoping that the Patriots pull it off.

I'd rather see the Colts win. This may be one of the quietest undefeated starts in NFL history. It could be because Indy has got off to hot starts like this before.

So good to see the Pats lose. Especially when it can be directly attributed to terrible coaching decisions.

[mpare]

The spot they were given on the 4th and two catch wasn't exactly the best, but such is life in the trenches.

I wouldn't have gone for it either, but you'll never convince me that Belichick is not a tactical genius. Your dislike of the Patriots is affecting your objectivity.

he's a Bills fan.

Then he lives a life of perpetual frustration.

I should know better than to go to bed at halftime of a Colts game. Idiot!

[Kiwi]

First Sunday night game I managed to stay up for and only to see a good team lose by a poor... no stupid... no unbelievable decision. Don't care how confident you are in your offense, what does that say to your defense? Talk about a brain cramp... fallout from this (internally) may be worse than the loss.

He may be a tactical genius, but there was nothing genius about that move. That move was either ego, or a complete lack of faith in his defence. At some point, you have to be able to trust your team to prevent the opponent from going 80 yards in 2 minutes.

Also, if they hadn't have wasted 2 timeouts in 3 plays (including one before the first play of the drive!?!?) they could have challenged the spot. All in all, a very amateurish sequence.

i ran out of gas at halftime and went to sleep. just like the patriots.

[mpare]

I have to admit that the time management and the 4th and 2 call left me scratching my head. It was not the coach's finest hour. That said, these two teams are damn good.

Its seasons like this that build tons of character in a fan.

I'm thinking that there is some kind of curse for the Bears in the QB position. Look at Orton. I'm done with them for at least a week or 2.

then they'll start winning. .. . . . just to tease you to come back.

I honestly thought the game was over when Manning threw that pick a bit earlier.

Brady's timeout call after the change of posession on the punt was a bigger error, IMO. That left NE with one timeout that they had to use on the next drive to try and slow down Indy, and then the booth review isn't possible because the play started outside the final 2 minutes. It was a perfect storm of events that led to the winning score, and a recognition of Manning's skill as a great QB in pressure situations. It must have been pretty scary for NE to look in the mirror and see their own team from 2 years ago coming back at them. Win or lose, that was a ballsy call by Belichick. Hero or goat, he put his neck on the line. If they pull off the 4th & 1 the game is over, and Belichick & Brady are the kings of New England.

Either way, game of the year so far.

[mpare]

I agree with you completely. Two great teams, who rarely disappoint. Now, if only the Colts were still from Baltimore, then I would be an even happier.

...

Either way, game of the year so far.

My buddy won just under $15K in the propicks pool going perfect. 50 winners shared the jackpot.

[nokids]

i dont think i'll ever win proline again. it's more likely i'll see haley's comet return.

Wow... fantastic.

[fundonny]

Not that I'm jealous, but that was the first time he ever played. Seriously.

[Chambokl]

I think that is how it works... less you know the better chance you have.

[nokids]

i am so glad i was not able to make it in time to bet on pointspread this weekend. it was upset city!

[fundonny]

Got 10 out of 12, only wrong was Green Bay and Tampa Bay.

[mpare]

Nicely done. I'm surprised that the Colts made you money. I would have thought that they would not have covered the point spread. Then again, I don't bet on games.

For a while I have been extolling the virtues of Welker of the Patriots. The man never gives up and never gives an inch. Yesterday's performance was outstanding as usual. I suspect that their converted QB, Edelman, will be the next Welker. He plays with the same intensity and quickness. Keep an eye on him.

Mike, the Colts didn't covered... they were favorite by 2½.

2½ was the Pro Line spread... everywhere else they were favorite by 1, they even open as 1 point dog.

The Patriots have acquired cloning technology from British scientists. Edelman is actually a clone of Welker. It's not against NFL rules, yet.

Patriots vs Saints. Who will win, and why?

[sensfan63]

Cowboys win easily, now 8-3. I don't know what to think of my team, but I do know that Romo is looking like a guy that may have learned from past mistakes. He's eating the ball a little bit more so he doesn't throw as many interceptions. And man, what a find in Miles Austin. Guy has jumped to a legit #1 receiver in 5 weeks time.

Liking their defense too...
