Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Well it's finally here. And we just have a few mere days before our Kickoff 2009, Week 1 in NY.

For tonight, the 2009 season opener Steelers vs. Titans. Should be a good game.

Lets GO REDSKINS!

IT'S HERE! Hallelujah!!!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Man the pre game sutff is just a bunch of garbage. I mean they need to do away w/ the pre game concert crap. Just awful. I turned on Tech Clemson.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Jeez, NFL network anchors trying to talk over that stupid ass loud mother effin country music in the background..........made me change the channel. (not that I really take ANYTHING neon deion says to heart, lol)

Really, does anyone else agree that NFL networks lineup of anchors is seriously lacking talent, and it seems like they are just plugging names in there that cannot add ANY substantial insight to the games of the current season? I hate how they all reflect back on when they played.......talk about stuff they accomplished and their experiences, like they are relevant now. Step it up NFL and get some real reporters and anchors.......not SAPP and deion, lol.

Ridiculous.

Finally!!!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

black eyed peas and fergie make me want throw up . . . its like a crappy version of J5

go skins!!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Yea not so sure who came up with that pre-game entertainment lineup..? Awful, just awful

Lets go Kickoff!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Good drive by the Titans there, but couldn't close the deal. Man, Chris Johnson is fast.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Thank you football for returning to me.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

I do hate Polamalu. So tired of those friggin towels.

Steelers line still can't protect Big Ben. Both Ds look very good, though that big run was nice by Tenn.

Great to be watching real action!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

I find that penalty to be BS--if you want passing, why not let the o-line be back? Either way, that RT was not off the line, IMO.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Very impressed by the Titans offense.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Wow. But, as I said, I do hate Polamalu...

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Holy Shit!!! Did you guys see that one handed pick by Polamalu?!?!?

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Hope Laron is watching. We need some of that!

That was a great pick. (even though, as I said, I hate...)

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Nothing from steelers O--Ben picked.

I hope our o-line is watching the Steelers o-line and do the opposite...they are not protecing him.

Wow, back to back picks...sort of

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

In a way, the Steelers are what we want to be--Great D, mediocre O, clutch plays.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

that wasnt a hold on max starks there but i could def see how the back official thought it was .

nice job by big ben to hang in there till the last second.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Second PF on Troy. I hate that guy.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Shit. If Landry does that, its a PF. Steeler rules.


Jeeze--blocked FG!

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;586657]Very impressed by the Titans offense.[/quote]

Are you serious, their O-line is horrible....they cant even block for a FG, lol.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Ouch--Polamalu's knee got crunched. I do hate that guy, but I don't want him to go out like that.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

[quote=roth74va;586674]Are you serious, their O-line is horrible....they cant even block for a FG, lol.[/quote]

What are u talking about. The Titans are moving the ball...they just can't finish their drives. Besides, it's not like they are playing against some crap D.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Yeah, Tenn's oline looks fine--that is the #1 D out there they're up against.

Madden curse?

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Score Steelers...I have Willie Parker in my team, I hope they get ahead and run the ball

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Jason Campbell needs to add that Big Ben pump fake to his repertoire. That is a serious weapon.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;586679]Score Steelers...I have Willie Parker in my team, I hope they get ahead and run the ball[/quote]Just had my first "D'OH" moment of the 2009 fantasy football season... I started Anthony Gonzalez over Santino Holmes in one of my leagues. I almost changed that at the last minute, and now I already wish I had.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Agreed about the pump fake--useful.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Wow--no Polamalu, and they fly down the field to tie the game. Crazy--0-0, then 14 points in like a minute.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

So did folks see Ryan Clark blow it in that long pass to the rook wideout Britt?

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

Yeah, RC didn't look so hot.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

4 man rush with no big al= no pressure.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

There ya go! Big Ben holding it.

[quote=skinsfan69;586634]Man the pre game sutff is just a bunch of garbage. I mean they need to do away w/ the pre game concert crap. Just awful. I turned on Tech Clemson.[/quote] I feel the same way , is it me , or does it seem like the Steelers and Arizona just walked off the field a month ago ?

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

It has been an eternity to me, I mean think of all we fans have sat through:
FA,
AH tampering
JC or JC
trade rumors
draft
LL skipped OTAs
June/July wow were those the longest month!
TC(actually went good, no injuries
pre-season JC watch

but Sunday is almost here.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

some these runs have been pretty amazing change of directions

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

bad no call on Hoke removing his helmet.

Re: Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread
 

There are times when the Steelers' D is looking rather pedestrian -- especially with pass defense. The Titans have gotten some rushing yards too.
