NFL 2009-10 Season

[HD MM]

Mangini Approval Rating Lowest in League at 7%

Wow. Even Jim "fired at the end of the season" Zorn is 13 points higher than Mangini!

Heh, Norv below Haley after a 30 point win against a rival. Though in Haley's defense I guess he's trying to build a team, Norv is wrecking one.

Something like 15 plays within the 10 yard line and no TD for the Chargers.

Oops, you forgot to post the standings like you do every week. Don't be a frontrunner like the bandwagon California poseur!


Sandra

Thank you for reminding me. I may be a lot of things, but frontrunner is not one of them.

Jets Record with Braylon Edwards: 1-2.
Browns record without Edwards: 1-2.

To be continued...

Edit: one of the few plays I saw from the Jets game involved Braylon dropping a catchable pass over the middle. Get used to it!

Wow, you Cleveland guys are like elephants! He'll catch some, he'll drop some...but let the guy move on already...

LMFAO! I still like to complain about Tim Couch and Earnest Byner.

LJ's Twitter page rips Haley, uses homophobic slur - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Apparently yesterday wasnt a good day for LJ. Spoiler for potentially offending language.

Spoiler

When reporters entered the locker room on Monday, Johnson said, "I'm not talking [until] Thursday."

And then Johnson uttered a sentence that surely will catch the interest of the league office.

Per KCSP, Johnson said partially under his breath, "Get your faggot asses out of here."

Audio may exist of the exchange as well. Sigh.

Report: Larry Johnson hurls slur at the media | ProFootballTalk.com

When he's done in KC (this year) I figured he'd go somewhere, have a pedestrian year backing someone up, make a few more bucks, but can see him just being tainted goods with no burst at this point hanging out with Shaun Alexander on the weekends.

With all the roster moves, many thought (including moi) that the Chefs were headed for the Superbowl and Denver would have a losing battle in a toilet bowl. One good thought ---the Chefs still get the Denver Smurfs twice this year.

 

[meStevo]

Chiefs werent expected to amount to a whole lot, expectations were there highest since Willie Roaf unexpectedly retired, but we don't have the offensive line to do a whole lot. Denver was indeed supposed to be a miserable team. I still don't expect them to beat whomever they host for the wild card (Bengals/Steelers/Ravens) and if they make it through them, they don't have the defense to keep the Colts contained.

Them making it far in the playoffs would be more surprising than Arizona's run last year.

Monday Morning Quarterback- Filling in for HD

I'll do my best to fill in for the MMQB this week, since HD's heart isn't it. (I understand his reasons why; can't blame him).

1. Forget the debate among which of the three unbeatens is the league's best for a moment. Which of the league's three winless teams is the worst- St. Louis, Tampa Bay, or Tennessee?

2. Who would have ever thought that Cedric Benson would find happiness in Cincinnati? When I first heard about this signing, I thought it was another bad signing. Boy, was I wrong! While it wasn't Favre-vs-Green Bay, Benson against the Bears was quite the sight to see- nearly 189 yards rushing!

3. Speaking of which- HD, as bad as Cleveland has been at times, at least they haven't given up 40 points.

4. A couple of weeks ago, some of us were ready to giftwrap the NFC West title to the 49ers. Perhaps we were a little premature- Arizona reminded some of us last night that they are still the rulers of that division.

5. Speaking of the NFC West (or NFC Worst, as some like to say)- I know the division stinks, but is it their fault everyone else is struggling? The other three teams can't do things right. It's not the Cards' fault the rest of that division has trouble staying upright.

6. After seeing what the Jets did to Oakland yesterday, the Eagles have to be kicking themselves. This could be a costly loss ala the Cowboys losing to St. Louis last year (at least they had an excuse- Romo was hurt!)

7. The New England Patriots have now won 17 straight games over the NFC. The Saints have the best shot to end that streak in their Monday Night showdown (unless you're crazy enough to think Carolina will spring an upset).

8. Rams vs. Lions- Can't wait to see how many people will watch that one!

9. Goaliebob, way to manage your fantasy team! Benching Ricky Williams and the Patriot defense, starting Earnest Graham- who didn't even play yesterday- and stacking your team with so many Bears players.

10. This upcoming week is very interesting- aside from the Rams/Lions game of the century, you have a crucial Giants/Eagles game, a fascinating matchup between the Ravens and Broncos in Denver, and a Falcons/Saints Monday Night duel in the Superdome. Oh, and Favre Bowl II.

- JaMarcus Russell not being replaced on Oakland, he'll start next week.

- Mangini riding the DA ship to the bottom, QB rating for the season 7 points below JaMarcus, and he says DA gives them the best chance to win. Says it has nothing to do with Quinn's $11 million escalator.

- Alex Smith will start next week for the 49ers, replacing Shaun Hill.

You don't live in the Kansas City area. Believe me the Chefs fans thought Haley, Cassell and all the other players brought in were going to lead the team to heaven, immediately. Denver fans were strapping on their collective guns to ride Bowman out of town for all the bonehead moves (more newcomers than the Chefs) the new management had made. The only good move the Chefs made was to let TonyG go to a contender, so he would at least stand a chance of a ring before retiring. The Broncos are underdogs for the 7th straight game, this week, and they're playing a team that has had Denver's number for centuries. When this season is over the Denver Smurf defense will be mentioned in the same breath as the long forgotten Orange Crush of the 70s.

Where's Sandra? You'd think she'd be in a happy mood with the performance of the Jets yesterday.

14 teams, almost half the league is in your NOT HOT selection

Is this what they call parity ?

The way some of the bad teams are playing this year, it's more like parody.......not parity!
