2009 NFL Weekly Picks Thread

The Colts are going to shred the Pats defense. Are you guys forgetting that the game is in Indy?

yeah, but Indy's secondary is banged up and I just think they're due for a loss sometime soon.

Horrible game last night. Both the Bears and 49ers offenses looked pathetic. Both of these teams have a long way to go (not as long as some other teams though)...

Yeah that game was ugly But at least the 49ers ended the losing streak. Their schedule is fairly easy over the next several weeks too. I hope Smith and the O Line start to pick things up so that they can actually throw the ball downfield.

5 picks from Cutler is inexcusable. He really needs to start making better decisions. I still can't figure out why they won't commit to the run. Forte seems to be getting 10 carries a game.

 

[GnR102385]

I still don't think Forte is a legit RB. He is a good receiving back, but they need someone else to complement him. He couldn't do shit lastnight against the 49ers front 7. I feel bad for Cutler because those Bears receivers are just shitty.

I don't think Forte is completely healthy, just doesn't look the same as last year. The O-line is aweful, the receivers are not great either. Its pretty much all on Cutler at this point. If the o-line was good, this offense could be decent even with the backs and receivers they have.

I think if they would actually commit to the run and wouldn't constantly be losing by 20+ points, Forte would be fine by himself. And yeah, Cutler has one of the worst set of receivers in the league. Hester isn't a number 1 at all and guys like Earl Bennett and Johnny Knox would be backups on most other teams.

Hester isn't a great return man anymore either. I have a feeling he will soon be out of Chicago. When he was playing at Miami in college they had him listed as a CB on the roster and didn't even let him on the field except for returns. He is no receiver.

Kick return guys have a shelf life of about 2 seasons. Remember how great Dante hall was for about a season and a half, then he fell off the face of the highlight reel.

Good, i want to see a high scoring game. The Pats haven't looked like world beaters at all, The Bills and Dolphins had them beat but they both snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yep. Didn't the Chiefs try and get him involved in their offense as well? They might have a longer shelf life if the coaches didn't think they needed to get them into the game in other places.

Who's ready for some football!?!

Get ready for the MIRACLE IN MISSOURI!!!

GO RAMS!!!!!!!

 

[mrp5150]

Rams played well enough to win that game. I can't believe it was that close. I don't think anyone expected that good of a game. Also awesome that the Bengals beat the Queelers again.

 

[GnR102385]

I was actually cheering for the Rams, simply because of the hilarity that would have ensued had they upset the Saints. And fuck the Stealers*. So hilarious that the Bengals swept them and the Ravens.




*-The "*" should be attached to the word "Stealers" from now on, indicating the Pittsburgh Steelers and the involvement of the refs in so many of their crucial playoff wins

The Giants didn't play this week, so notice how it's been a jabroni free zone.

Yeah, I'm watching highlights of the Yanks versus the unstoppable unbeatable Phillies.

HOLY SHIT.

God damn Bellicheck is a douche. His press conferences are so uncomfortable I feel bad just being in the same hemisphere.

 

[VH4_BigRig]

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory...yup, that's what the Pats just did Sorry Belicheck, but with Peyton Manning on the other side of the ball, you can't take the risk of giving him a shortened field, duh!!

I just love it when the Pats lose. A lot more turnovers than you would expect though in this game.
