The Official 08\09 NFL Football Thread

Texans? I'll have to admit I know close to nothing about them since they have been horrible and are in the AFC. I wish they played Seattle this year though.

And jflip, what's your pre-season guess for a outcome of Philly at Seattle in Nov.? How bad will the Eags lose? Can they even score a touchdown at the loudest stadium in the league? Am I going to wish I hadn't talked shit?

[TwoJ's]

I ran in to this guy while I was working at my mom's store today:



This is a good sign for the season to come. I'm going to the preseason game against the Bears tomorrow night too.

I was watching the packers play and I was impressed with Roger's play.

As of today I am a Texan's season ticket holder. Woot.

[TwoJ's]

I went to the Hawks preseason game against Chi-town on Saturday. I bought tickets at the last minute, so they were near the top of the damn stadium.



Our third string looked pretty good... for a third stringer. Perhaps he played well enough that Mike Holmgren will let Seneca Wallace play some receiver/returner.

Just so you fuckers know... DeSean Jackson wins Rookie Of The Year. Thats such an awesome field, Qwest is. Even with shitty seats, youre right there on top of the players. New stadiums in the making should take some inspiration from that.

Holy shit, only one other Steelers fan? Rothy had a shit season last year after his accident and fights with recievers. I do think they have regrouped and will be a showing of force this season. Although, I am waiting to see what is going to happen with the possibly sale of one of the last family owned teams...will it lead to a lackof motivation?

[jflip2002]

Youre one year behind. Roeth had a very good last year, and I wouldnt expect him to repeat it. 32 TDs is more than he'll ever throw again. I didnt remember any fights with WRs either.......

[TwoJ's]

jflip, that's a possibility. You should come to Seattle when the eagles are here to watch them lose.

And fuck the steelers. They were given that super bowl by the refs.

come on man, that was after last season, there was a bit of blow out after this

[jflip2002]

That is fighting with a reciever? It was after the season when football for Pitt wasnt even going on. Maybe because Im an Eagles fan, I understand a REAL fight between QB and WR. I dont like Pitt, and I dont like Seattle. But Seattle was fucking robbed in that Superbowl. They could have won that game WITH Neil O'Donnell.

[TwoJ's]

Yes, this is true. You could even tell while watching the game; the commercials and shit were biased towards the Steelers. Shit, even two of the refs were from Pitt...

Oh well though, this is the 08/09 thread. We're starting to get over that up here. It's a new year, and Holmgren is going to go out with a bang.

[jflip2002]

If by a bang you mean winning the worst division in football again, and bowing out in the first round.... Sure.

lol, that is a good summery of last year. Shit has changed and you will see when the lowly eagles get rolled over on the way to at least 11 wins. Would you care to put a small, friendly wager on that game just for fun?

Hey Two J's, this doesnt matter much, but read this article...
