2009 NFL Season Thread

I have to explain this before I get into how :censored:ing excited I am. My buddy has an apartment on court street (Ohio University's main drag) and this apartment has a balcony that overlooks all the bars and whatnot. In Athens, Ohio on Court street there are bars that are designated as the Bengals' bar, the Browns' bar and the Steelers' bar. The Bengals' and Browns' bars are right next to each other and the Steelers bar is directly across the street from both of them. When the Bengals won, Red Brick Tavern (the Bengals bar) went nuts. About a hundred bengals jerseys came pouring out while the same number came out of Lucky's (the Steelers bar). The Steelers fans were obviously just upset and trying to go home. The Bengals fans began shouting at them and they replied with their own quips and retorts, but thankfully nothing went down in terms of fighting. The Steelers fans disappeared very quickly . The Steelers' bar put plywood in front of their windows and called the cops in anticipation of some destruction, but nothing happened. Someone should tell Lucky's that we aren't Browns fans. After the win we went out on the balcony and yelled "who-dey" at anyone in a Bengals jersey. And waved away the Steelers fans that had something to say. Honestly, this ranks in the top ten of my all-time Bengals wins. It was that great.

About the actual game, the Bengals beat the Steelers with a fourth quarter drive that I have never seen from Carson Palmer. They converted two 4th downs including a 4th and ten and went ahead with 14 seconds left. It's exactly the kind of thing that never happens to us Bengal fans. They don't win games like this. They don't win games they shouldn't, they lose games they should and they shouldn't have won this game. The Steelers had a lot more total yards and a lot more time of possession. It's so refreshing to see a Bengals team take victory from the jaws of defeat and that my most hated enemy, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are usually the heartbreakers are now 1-2.

and Congratulations to the Detroit Lions. About time. Now the Rams and Browns are officially the worst teams in the league.

So when the Browns beat The Steelers did the fans vandalize "Lucky's" or something? Never mind. Forget I even asked. I should already know that most of the people now attending OU probably weren't even alive the last time The Browns beat The Steelers. Hell, most of them probably weren't alive the last time The Browns scored a touchdown on offense. And you shouldn't insult Rams fans by saying their team is as bad as our team is.

You're way too excited about it and my guess is that the beautiful OU women are anywhere but your place right about now but congrats on a big win anyway. Only 3 wins to go this season. Choose them carefully. (You didn't really think I'd let that "we're not Browns fans" thing slide without comment did you? :D )

I don't know what happened the last time the Browns beat the Steelers. I think I was a sophomore in high school. I do know that two years ago when the Browns blew that big lead to lose to Pittsburgh there was a brawl in the middle of the street between Lucky's and Cat's Eye (the Browns' bar).

My shot was more of an attempt to harken back to the famous thing that Sam Whyche said about people throwing snowballs and what not, "if you see one more person throw something on this field, you talk to the authorities and you get them out of here. You don't live in Cleveland, You live in Cincinnati!" If I could think of a shot to take at Baltimore I would've, but I feel like Baltimore is on the outside looking in on this three-headed rivalry and a I don't know any Ravens fans.

I honestly don't remember the last time the Browns beat the Steelers. I'm pretty sure it's only happened once since they came back into the league. Maybe twice but no more. Being a Browns fan ain't what it used to be.

Well its Chad Henne's chance, he sucks the Dolphisn should be in line to land Colt McCoy or Sam Bradford.

So when will we see "FIRE BILL" in your avatar?

C'mon now, Tank. Even Omar knows that you can't keep wasting high-round draft picks on quarterbacks.

Here is a thought. Is it a good year or a bad year to get a reasonable draft pick, if the draft is as good and deep as people say. I mean in other years, to get a really great player in the draft you might need a top 5 pick. But there might be some decent players around lower down in the draft. And we all know that a number 1 pick QB is no guarantee of success, even if you get a good one, like Carson Palmer. And if they are going to keep the wildcat going, do the 'fins really want or need a top line QB?

In other QB news, Josh Johnson named as Bucs starter by Raheem Morris. Leftwich is now third on the Bucs depth chart, with Freeman the back up QB.

In my decidedly non-expert opinion, I say no. Besides Henne, the Dolphins have Pat White who is quite mobile and I think could be very exciting in a wildcat offense.

I have a feeling Raheem Morris will follow the same road Cam Cameron did in Miami, except I still think Cameron is gonna end up with the same amount or, gulp, more wins than Raheem will. No way this hack is gonna last, he hasn't done a SINGLE thing right since he took over.

And for those who say "At least we're not as bad as the Browns." That may be true, but we're pretty damn close and have a much harder schedule.

Bucs will manage a win or two because that's how the NFL is. The Lions pulled off a spectacularly inimitable feat by going 0-16 in a league as parity-enfeebled as this one.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

*checks remaining schedule*

Let's see...the Buccaneers are at Washington next week (hey wait a minute--that means they'll only be a half-hour from me..maybe I should try to cop a ticket). Based off what just happened in Detroit, that might be the one of the TWO games the Buccaneers can win this year.

After that, here's what we in Buc Nation have to look forward to: at Philly (hey--1.5 hrs the other way from me!), then home to the three P's (Panthers, Patriots, and Packers). After that, it's a trip to Wildcat City (the other remotely possible win--and that's even more of a stretch than Mr. Fantastic himself), then there's this murderous stretch: Saints, AT Atlanta, AT Carolina, home to Gang Green (shudder the thought), then all the way out to Seattle--and we know how well the Bucs travel that late in the season (HINT: not that well), then AT New Orleans, and the home finale against the Dirty Birds.

Yeah...not looking very rosy down by the Bay.

Personally, I am hoping the Browns can pull off a repeat of Detroit and go 0-16. It's not like we have anything else to look forward to as Browns fans. May as well do it right.

When Laurent Robinson is your best receiver, you really have more to worry about than losing him.

True, but at least he usually caught passes. If I hear any talking head mention the GSOT in the next month, I fear for my television.
