NFL Week 9

Recommended Posts

I'm worried about Grossman. When he's bad, look out.

 

I'm not. He's basically a rookie in terms of game time, so the guy is going to suck at least a few games this year. If you look at his turnovers in this week's loss and against AZ, they were basically rookie mistakes. Throwing into tough coverage, while getting hit, trying to put it over a tall DE, etc.

 

The only thing that bugs me about the Bears right now is the lack of a consistent running game. They need Jones and Benson to really step up so they can grind the clock and get the pressure off Grossman. If defenses aren't buying the run, they can just drop back and cover a thin list of WRs with an inexperienced QB. Those aren't good odds.

Wouldn't it be great if the Saints could do the unthinkable and win the big one for their hurricane-ravaged hometown of New Orleans? With a running game powered by sensational rookie Reggie Bush and a passing attack anchored by Heisman Trophy-winning wunderkind Reggie Bush, the Saints have shocked the world of professional football by racing out to a 6-2 start. With the emergence of slightly-less-sensational rookie Marques Colston and the return of All-Galaxy Wide Receiver Joe Horn, the sky is quite literally the limit for these sub-sea level sensations from the Big Easy.

 

Go Saints!

Also, the Raiders are looking totally embarassing right now. Three straight sacks last quarter. Oh man.

It's good to see that at least a few people are watching ESPN's coverage of this pivotal interconference matchup, as the sensational Randy Moss and the Raiders try to become only the second team in the 3,000 year history of the National Football League to beat both of the previous year's conference champions in consecutive weeks. They'll try to do so against an intimidating Seattle offense led by Seneca Wallace and last year's Madden Shootout MVP, Maurice Morris. Is it Monday night yet? Is it? Is it?

 

Yes, it is.

Man it was horrible last year, when they played that "important" NFC match up with Phili and Seattle, and Seattle smoked them 44-10...or something that absurd.

As good as this week's matchup is, I'm really looking forward to next week's Monday game. Because Monday night doesn't recognize phrases like "bowel obstruction" or "inoperable cancer." Monday night only knows that rookie sensation Bruce Gradkowski and the defending NFC South champion Buccaneers are taking on All-Known-Universe Wide Receiver Steve Smith and the mildly hot Carolina Panthers in a pivotal divisional showdown.

I hope Oakland can make a game of this. I bet they could if they had Steve Hutchinson.

A completely bitch move with a knee to the nutsack by that Raiders guy, Bratton (?). I hope it's worth missing a game or two considering Stevens ended up laughing at him because the cup prevented any kind of injury.

Now the Raiders defense depresses me also. My father puts it best whenever this happens: Why the hell would you take a swing or try to start a fight in a football game? How can you hurt anyone when they're all wearing cups and pads?

Good thing in Canada, there's such thing called Hockey to make up filler. ESPN should market that game, you know, from time to time.

You know, if I were one of the reporters at Art Shell's press conference, I'd just say "you know what, man? Just go. Figure out a way to win, we'll totally leave you alone." Dude looks and sounds so depressed.

The ultimate nightmare scenario: a Raiders/Broncos prime-time game. You'd see mass suicides at sports bars all over the country.

That happened already.

 

I hate the Broncos so much.
