NFL '09/'10 Season Thread

I GET IT TRENT, DIAL DOWN THE AGRRESSION YOU DOOSH...As much as I hate to say it. I could actually see the Minnesota giving New Orleans a run for their money if they faced each other with a decent chance of them winning right now. I could also see Indianapolis doing it especially if they got out a score or two early on them.
As far as either them or Indianapolis going undefeated, they still probably won't just because it's hard to do. All it takes is getting unlucky or having an opponent game plan for you perfectly. Just ask New England about the last Superbowl they were in.
Also people should never look too much into one game. One thing I do kind of hope happens is that both New Orleans and Indianapolis go undefeated into the Superbowl just so we can see the players on the 1972 Dolphins' heads explode.

It's just way to hard to go undefeated in the NFL. But I really see only the Viks that can give a game to the Saints and that might not happen till the NFC championship game. As far as the Colts, it looks like if you put pressure on Manning he will have to work his ass of to make things happen. The AFC is really up for grabs.
Nobody is going to beat New Orleans except themselves. I don't think they will rest anybody because Minnesota is right behind them, and they both want home field advantage. Their schedule is favourable.
Washington
@ Atlanta
Dallas
Tampa Bay
@ Carolina
They have a short week to prepare for Washington, but that shouldn't be a problem. They won't lose to Dallas at home, and they already whooped Atlanta. Tampa Bay may be a trap game, as they look ahead to Carolina for the perfect season. The Saints play big in big games. 16-0
Indy has a favourable schedule as well.
Tennessee
Denver
@ Jacksonville
NY Jets
@ Buffalo
Tenneseee is lighting it up right now, but can they beat Indy in Indy? I doubt it. Manning isn't going to lose a close game this season, and the Titans don't have the firepower to blow Indy out or the D to keep Indy off the score board.
Denver has some impressive victories this year. New England, Dallas, NY Giants, San Diego and Cincinnati. They could certainly pull the upset in Indy, and since Indy is already 3 games up on the rest of the division leaders, Caldwell might be resting key players down the stretch.
I want to see 2 undefeated teams go at it in Miami for the Super Bowl, but San Diego is going to beat New Orleans, and get their Thank You card from the 72' Dolphins.

Part of the thing that needs to be remembered for a lot of the sports writers out there is that before this week New Orleans looked kind of lackluster against pretty weak competition and in a few games just scraped by. It's seem like now a lot of people are not even remembering those games for some reason and putting all the emphasis on how they beat New England handily just this week and how New Orleans now seems borderline invincible to them, or at least as close as you can come in the NFL. New Orleans did a lot of the things people are criticizing Indianapolis for and that happened only in the past few weeks.
Are they the best team in the league? They could very well be, but I don’t suddenly see them as some sort of unstoppable juggernaut.

I think the Vikings are the best team in the NFL.
If you watched the Patriots-Saints game, you would have noticed Laurence Maroney was having his was with the Saints front 4(image what AD would have done). New England had to get away from the run game because they were playing from behind and Saints were scoring with ease. Plus, the Patriots defense was questionable to begin with.
The Vikings are elite at all levels of the game. If they ever matched up with the Saints, I have to give the Vikings a slight edge because I don't fully trust the Saints run defense.

I'm looking at some of the Saints highlights and plays during this season Drew Brees is just a great QB and very smart and it seems like he just puts it in the air and his wideout just goes and gets it.That offense is just fun to watch
Hasn't Adrian Peterson had some fumble issues this season? I think the Saints would simply outscore the Vikings and those Saints ballhawkers will eat up Favre's weakass shit all game long:tongue::1orglaugh:thefinger
It will be a hell of a matchup if the Vikings Saints meet up in the playoffs.
My only concern about the Saints is can they win a close game? Have they really been tested this season? The Patriots were supposed to provide some resistance and they got hammered...:dunno:

That is a great question I don't think they have played a close game No the closest game they had was the Rams and they came back and beat the Fins 48-34
Was just going to point that out too.
Also, didn't they play a close game against Atlanta too?

Micheal Vick first touchdown of the season came against his old team what a nice set-up:thumbsup:
There were a lot of people in the stands in Atlanta cheering afterward and waving signs in support of Vick. Most of them were wearing Falcons gear. I don't get it. Worst sports town in America if you ask me. :2 cents:
