Well, Week 1 of the NFL Season is over and it is now time for everyone to jump to conclusions, a la Tom Smykowsi from Office Space. You just witnessed a little over 6% of the season. Did you know whether "300" or "Dark Knight" was going to be awesome after eight minutes?
Not every team that lost badly this week is going to be terrible. Not every team that won impressively is going to the Superbowl. Some guys will step up for injured stars, and some other players will get injured later.Based on some of the projections we've read already, here are ten conclusions we jumped to for this 2009 NFL campaign.
1. The Patriots will finish 1-15, with a peg-legged
Tom Brady signing on as a QB coach next year.
2.
Vince Young will be in a padded room by Week 12.
3. Michael Turner's 2800 yard season will shatter all the records.
4. The Chargers will finish with 32 players on IR, with
Nate Kaeding playing TE, K, and CB by the end of the year.
5. The 15-1 Cowboys will face the 15-1 Steelers in the "Superbowl of the Century."
6. The Jets will release
Mike Nugent and sign another WR, as they don't need kickers.
7.
Bernard Pollard will be the UFC Middleweight champion.
8. The Lions will go 0-16. and will promptly draft
Percy Harvin this coming April.
9. Jimmy Traina will post about Women's Tennis. A lot.
10. MVP and Rookie of the Year
Matt Ryan will continue to wow the Atlanta natives by putting Pepsi out of business, convincing Lebron to come to Atlanta, and not killing domesticated animals.
