NFL San Diego Chargers 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 In short, 2008 was a strange season for the Chargers. They started the year 4-8, rallied to finish 8-8, somehow won the AFC West, and then defeated the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round – a rollercoaster of emotions that ended with a fairly impressive playoff performance. Now, as a chick pick in the...
NFL Minnesota Vikings 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 You probably know what the focus of this article will be, right? If you guessed “Brett Favre” then congratulations to you, dear reader. You are correct. The Favre saga has dominated national newsprint and held NFL betting attention for months.

NFL Detroit Lions 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 The goal for the Detroit Lions in 2009 is simple – win a game. Last year, the Lions became the first team in NFL history to go 0-16; dating back to 2007, Detroit has not won a regular-season contest since a 25-20 Week 16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The team became a regular...
NFL Green Bay Packers 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 Last year was the prototypical “you take the good with the bad” season for the Green Bay Packers. The bad? A disappointing 6-10 season that left them on the outside of the NFC playoff picture. The good? The emergence of QB Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers solidified himself as the heir apparent to Brett Favre in 2008...
NFL Chicago Bears 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 Will Furrer. Moses Moreno. Henry Burris. Know what those three have in common? They’re just a few of the 30 different quarterbacks the Chicago Bears have started since their 1985 Super Bowl win. Not exactly a stellar list of talented arms, that. A shining example of what’s held the franchise back for so long –...
NFL Saint Louis Rams 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 Okay, make it official – “The Greatest Show on Turf” is dead. Gone. Will never see it again.

NFL San Francisco 49ers 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 When Mike Singletary took over head coaching duties from Mike Nolan halfway through 2008, it was clear the San Francisco 49ers were going to be a different team. Singletary made headlines immediately following his debut, lashing out at underproductive TE Vernon Davis in an emotional and constantly-replayed postgame presser. From there, San Fran went a...
NFL Arizona Cardinals 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 To say the Arizona Cardinals’ 2008 season was a storybook tale wouldn’t do it justice. The team won its first playoff game since 1998 and advanced to its first title game since 1947. All this, of course, came on the heels of a pedestrian 9-7 regular season. Because of that fairytale run to the Super...
NFL Seattle Seahawks 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 Last season was one to forget for the Seattle Seahawks. The team finished 4-12, the injury bug hit the receiving and quarterback positions extremely hard and longtime coach Mike Holmgren ended his Seahawk career on a major down note. As such, there’s a sense of determination in Seattle to exorcise the demons this year. New...
NFL New York Jets 2009 Season Outlook Charlie Boccanegra Last Updated: October 4, 2017 It’s been a weird last couple of years for the New York Jets. In 2007, a disastrous and injury-plagued campaign saw them finish 4-12. In 2008, there was a modicum of improvement and the team finished 9-7. The reward? Head coach Eric Mangini was fired, starting QB Brett Favre was released and longtime receiver Laveranues...
