The monday night games suck....

[SOME BIG ASS TDS]

The 2009 season has it all, and quarterbacks are the keys. Tom Brady returns, resuming an annual battle against Peyton Manning of the Colts. Philip Rivers finally gets a chance to play against Eli Manning in a battle of the two pivotal franchise quarterbacks in the 2004 draft. Jay Cutler enters the NFC North, and the Ravens' Joe Flacco will try to grow in his rivalry with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

There'll be plenty of anticipation for these big games.

The Colts have their usual meeting against the Patriots in Week 10, a Sunday night game on Nov. 15. The Eagles-Giants series begins in Week 8, when the Giants go to the Eagles. NFC North fans must wait until Nov. 29 -- Week 13 -- for the start of the Bears-Vikings series. The first Steelers-Ravens game is Nov. 29 in Baltimore on Sunday night.

Rookie head coach Jim Caldwell talks with Scott Hanson about what Colts fan can expect in the 2009 season.
1. New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts (Sun., Nov. 15)

The return of Tom Brady following knee reconstruction makes Colts-Patriots the league's most anticipated game. The Patriots and Colts are the dominant teams of the decade, and each franchise has a Hall of Fame quarterback. In a scheduling quirk, the Colts will be host for the game for the third consecutive year during the regular season. The Colts and Patriots split the last two games. From 2004 to '06, the Patriots hosted the regular-season games, with the Colts winning two of the three.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (Sun., Nov. 29)
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sun., Dec. 27)

This series annually has been one of the league's more physical because both franchises stress defense. The hope for the Ravens is their young quarterback, Joe Flacco, who is being groomed to compete against Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers. The Steelers swept last year's series, but the total margin of victory was just seven points. The Steelers won the Monday night game in Pittsburgh last season in overtime.

3. NY Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (Sun., Nov. 1)
Philadelphia Eagles at NY Giants (Sun., Dec. 13)

No season is complete without marquee games from the NFC East, and the Eagles-Giants series takes the main stage because of how Philly ended the Giants' chances to win a second straight Super Bowl. On Dec. 7, the Eagles provided the blitzing game plan to beat a Giants offense that didn't have Plaxico Burress, who shot himself in the thigh in late November. The Eagles blitzed Eli Manning, who didn't have a go-to option without Burress. The Eagles won in Giants Stadium 20-14, and then came back to win the divisional playoff game 23-11. Manning completed only 54 percent of his passes in the final five games, including the playoffs.

4. Chicago at Minnesota (Sun., Nov. 29)
Minnesota at Chicago (Mon., Dec. 28)

The Jay Cutler trade makes this rivalry a headliner because the Bears have their most talented quarterback in five decades. Cutler must see if he can master a Vikings defense that can stuff the run and put plenty of pressure on him (hello, Jared Allen). Before the Cutler trade, the Vikings were favored to repeat as NFC North champs, but Minnesota's decision to stay with Tarvaris Jackson as starting quarterback and let Cutler go to Chicago adds more drama to this battle.

5. San Diego Chargers at New York Giants (Sun., Nov. 8)

In 2005, the Chargers had the pleasure of pounding Eli Manning and the Giants 45-23 in Week 3 in San Diego. Manning said he wouldn't accept being the first pick in the 2004 draft, so general manager A.J. Smith put together a trade to get Philip Rivers. Rivers was a second-year backup for the first meeting. Now, it's Rivers versus Manning on even terms. Manning has been on four Giants playoff teams and won one Super Bowl. Rivers has been to three straight trips to the playoffs and one AFC title game.

[Phoenix Phil]

the packers can easily start 3-0. i am a little worried (for them) about their transition to the 3-4... i'm not sure if they have the right players yet.

[Apollo]

I bet Packers will be 2-1.

[Speed Racer]

23-0 for the Steelers.

Packers have some huge holes right now. Our OL is probably worse than last year as well now that it appears Tauscher won't be back. Kampman should be able to play OLB (Capers is the guy who moved Taylor to OLB and they are similar players). Hawk and Barnett have always struggled with Guards on them and they are the ILB (not good). I actually think this move will work though. Hawk is a great player beside Barnett. Barnett is always looking to make the big play and AJ makes all the plays he should but nothing else.

Cullen Jenkins is made for 3-4 end and will be dominant. The only NT that can come in and make a real impact is Raji. There are some above average 3-4 DEs left in FA. I doubt we try to sign any before that. Any of Jackson, Raji, Maybin, Orakpo, Brown will be immediate starters unless they are already busts. You could even make a case for Ayers. If any of the 3 OTs slide to the Packers they would be immediate starters as well.

Packers will hopefully be 2-1 when we play Minnesota but it is going to be a rough adjustment to the 3-4 since no one has ever really played in it that is starting. Even if the scheme fits the player better there are still going to be growing pains.

the youngest team in the NFL without their franchise QB and half of their OL out and # 1 CB and # 1 LB and # 1 and 2 and 3 DEs is far from the team that will be on the field this year. And the AFC is far better than the NFC as well. I will gladly bet you money on that game week 2.
