2008-09 NFL Regular Season kick-starts with a 16-game schedule on Week 1 beginning on Thursday as the Washington Redskins tackle the New York Giants in the season opener.
New York Giants started an awful season with 0-2 and no one considered them to be a Super Bowl contender. But the Giants went 10-4 the rest of the way, then won four straight road games in the playoffs to capture their third Super Bowl championship. New York, which won 11 consecutive games away from Giants Stadium, ended New England’s bid for a perfect season with a 17-14 victory that is arguably the biggest upset in the Super Bowl history. However, the Redskins will be looking to do the same thing under new coach Jim Zorn, who replaces Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs.
Washington went 9-7 last season, winning its final four games following a four-game slide to make the playoffs for the second time in three years. The Redskins, though, lost 35-14 to Seattle in the wild-card round.
Football mania continues Sunday afternoon as 13 NFL teams of the 2008-09 NFL Regular Season will play beginning at 1pm. St. Louis Rams led by Steven Jackson could be more effective under new offensive coordinator Al Saunders as they battle Philadelphia Eagles. Cincinnati Bengals go up against the hard-nosed defense but at the same time questionable offense of Baltimore Ravens. As for the case of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, could be the weakest points at some position this start of the year as they take on New Orleans Saints, who has improved in terms of paper on defense but the question remains if the new pieces on the puzzle will fit together.
New York Jets new look team that consist new faces like Brett Favre, Alan Faneca, Kris Jenkins, and Calvin Pace will help make the Jets competitive against the Miami Dolphins. Kansas City will have their hands full with New England’s combination of Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Tennessee Titans has been a very solid team where it really counts; on both the offensive and defensive lines as this will be seen when they encounter Jacksonville Jaguars. Detroit Lions’ Rod Marinelli is overhauling this roster with players that fit his mold, and this is expected to show this season starting the game versus Atlanta Falcons.
Rounding up the 1pm of 2008 NFL game Week 1 are Seattle Seahawks taking on Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans visits Pittsburgh Steelers.
2008-09 NFL Regular Season resumes at 4:15 pm as Cleveland Browns are coming off a 10-6 season, the Browns defense, which was among the worst in the league in 2007, received a significant upgrade during the off season as their defense will be tested against the talent-laden squad of the Dallas Cowboys.
San Diego Chargers are one of the favorites to be a shoe in for the playoffs as they are one of the most talented teams in the league facing one of the easiest schedules pitted versus Carolina Panthers.
Arizona Cardinals engage season opener war versus San Francisco 49ers, while Chicago Bears takes on Indianapolis Colts led by superstar Peyton Manning.
2008-09 NFL Regular Season go on with games between Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers team of Brett Favre. Last game features Denver Broncos battling Oakland Raiders Justin Fargas and rookie Darren McFadden.
