Your Week 9 NFL Recap
Sports By Patrick M. on November 9, 2009 at 10:35 am
Before we get to the games I gotta vent first.
Screw you Rookwood Tap and, for that matter, screw you all Wrigleyville bars from the heart of the brojects on Clark and Addison. Screw your buffet with the cardboard eggs, death to your pouty waitresses (though I appreciate the fake boobs,) screw you for not having coffee and screw you for having a bathroom attendant at a sports bar. And a special fuck you for playing country music during the commercials. Could I at least get some Black Eyed Peas?
I don’t know if it was my hatred that rubbed off on the Bears or just their own mediocrity coming to the forefront, but the Monsters of the Midway got rolled by the visiting Cardinals. The Cards moved the ball at will against the beaten down Bears D with Larry Fitzgerald serving notice as to why he’s the best wide receiver in the game. He dominated whomever the Bears threw at him in single coverage and, if he wasn’t open, Kurt Warner was finding someone else. With a brutal schedule up ahead, the Bears look headed for under .500 and Lovie Smith looks like he’s on his way out.
The best game of the day was the late afternoon tilt between San Diego and the New York Giants. Simply put, the Giants played soft in this game, unable to seal the game with 1st and goal from the four yard line and allowing the sunshine boys from SD to drive all over them with less than two minutes left for the winning score. The only thing more shocking than the Giants sitting at 5-4 after a 5-0 start is how unbelievably bad at football LaDainian Tomlinson has become. With 12 carries for 22 yards, LT is now on pace for 550 rushing yards at 3.2 a clip. He could be out of the league next year.
And finally, LC can take solace in the fact the 2008 Detroit Lions will continue to have gone where no team has gone before. Yes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – behind the power of their creamsicle jerseys – upset the enigmatic Packers, ensuring that every team has at least one win. No word on whether Matt Millen and Rod Marinelli clinked champagne glasses.
Other News and Notes
– The undefeated Saints and Colts held on, but not without some stiff competition. Indianapolis was an easy field goal away from overtime as for the second straight week, they struggled at home. Up next? Brady-Manning XI.
– The Dolphins gave Brady’s Pats all they could handle, but Randy Moss was the difference. His embarrassment of Vontae Davis on the game-winning TD is the play of the year for the Patriots.
– In case you still had doubts, the Bengals are for real. Of course it helps that Ochocinco’s bribing the refs.
– Can the Titans make it from 0-6 to the playoffs? Gotty™ is still leading the prayer circle after the Titans upset the 49ers in their own back yard. Vince Young for mayor of Cashville. (Gotty’s™ Note – Chris Johnson for mayor; Vince for Sgt. At Arms.)

pat, u shoulda came to timothy otoole’s over near the lucky strike and the amc theaters. 36 tvs son….it was popping downtown.
and no…i don’t normally go there. my guy was in town so we mobbed up there. it was a great times. no way in hell i’d go to wrigleyville to watch the game…but that’s just i don’t like wrigleyville. ha!
I think PM said it last week (or the week before). The Titans could mess around and screw up some squad’s seasons. The D backfield is back healthy, Chris Johnson is on fire.
The Saints are looking good. Are they for real?
How the fuck did the Niners fall off so hard after such a great start?
The Titans?
Really?
REALLY?!?
(no offense G)
GO REDKSINS!!!!
wow… true redskins fan.. so distraught i cant even spell the damn name right.
@K1ng; some espn writer says it’s the curse of crabtree. They were 3-1 before they signed him, lol.
I wasn’t on then “Fire Lovie” kick, but two ass whippings in three weeks where you give up thirty-plus points by halftime has me driving the bandwagon now. Any Bears fans wanna jump on-board?
Oh yeah, I went to school with Vontae Davis, he’s a world class shit talker. Guarantee he was yapping at Randy after he got that early int snatching the ball from him, unfortuanately Randy don’t take kindly to that lol. That said, Vontae is gonna be a shutdown corner in a couple years. He’s already one of the sickest athletes in the league once he gets the mental part down it’s a wrap.
I told y’all the Bengals could do something if Palmer got all the way back to form.
Freeman looks like the steal of the draft for at least one game. Maybe if we win out we can sneak in as a wildcard. Hey I can dream. Go Bucs!
@ Gotty
I think it’s safe to say now that the Saints are the real deal. They can beat you in every facet of the game, and even if they aren’t clicking, they have the second half to drop 30 on you. They score on offense and defense and Brees has 2 of the biggest comebacks in recent memory already this year.
Anyone else notice the Cowboys are starting to click, too?
@ Tru School: we talked about this last week, nobody (other than cowboys fans) will buy the cowboys as for real until they deliver when it matters (playoffs).
Everybody seems to be shitting on the Cowboys this year. I saw a lot of sports writers that wouldn’t even give due props for their win last night, calling it a messy game. Yeah it was messy, but most of that was on the Eagles. The Cowboys clicked where it mattered, finally getting Roy Williams involved (there also would’ve been a Williams touchdown without the missed Asante Samuels interference), and Romo had another 300+ yard game. They have a hard December schedule, but they shouldn’t have to struggle too much this month.
Who got the new curb your enthusiasm?
720p preferred but beggers cant be choosers?
curb your enthusiasm season 7 episode 7??
or maybe ep8
the one after the tombstone and dead black swan
Excellent to see the Bengals doing well. Hopefully they can finish what ended so abruptly vs. Pittsburgh in the playoffs a few years back. That and Chad is by far the funniest/most entertaining player in the league.
Cowboys, 6-2, I can dig it. December is going to be the true test, however. If Romo can show up then, I may become a believer.
One more thing. I love the weeks when the Giants, Eagles and Skins lose, but the Cowboys win. Makes for a great week of SportsCenter.
Man that Giant game was disappointing to watch. On offense Gilbride tries to get too cute, when you have a great o-line and Brandon Jacobs/Ahmad bradshaw in the backfield in the red zone. I don’t need any trick plays; bully foot those suckers and pound it in. That holding penalty after the interception hurt; but on 3rd down on the 10 yr line THROW THE BALL. The defense misses AAron Ross, Kenny Phillips, and Spags. We need to trade to get him back from the rams. lol
The Saints are for real, Darren Sharper was the best free agent pick up of the year. He has sured up the secondary which allows the denfensive coordinator get really creative on defense.
The Cowboys are playing well as well; but their team is too fragile. One bad loss and the finger pointing and blame game will start.
If you serve eggs, you HAVE TO serve coffee.
That’s absurd.
bribing the ref with a 1 dollar bill? lmfao
Icey!
I have verrry good quality Curb follow me on twitter and I’ll dm you the link..
COWBOYS…bitch
saints babay
