NFL Notes And Trends
Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels with quarterback Kyle Orton
Three weeks are in the books for the 2009 NFL season.
Here are some of my observations so far…
1. The 3 teams that fired offensive coordinators before the season started, Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Kansas City, are a combined 1-8. The 1 win was Buffalo beating Tampa Bay.
2. The Detroit Lions finally won a game, snapping their 19-game losing streak. Do you know who has the longest current streak? It’s St. Louis at 13-straight losses. With their schedule, they could easily lose 19 or more consecutive games.
3. Since 1990, when the NFL introduced a 12-team playoff format, only three teams that started 0-3 went on to make the playoffs: 1992 San Diego Chargers, 1998 Buffalo Bills and 1998 Detroit Lions.
0-3 so far this season…

A Former ROY Gets Another Chance
The final pre-season games are over, and it’s hard to believe that the regular season will begin in just two days. As rosters were solidified and depth charts were set, a few interesting decisions were made leading up to the start of the season. Let’s do a quick recap, shall we?
NFL Season Preview: AFC North

Can the Steelers Repeat?
The AFC North was a top-heavy division in 2008. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh won double digit games, while Cincinnati and Cleveland both managed only 4 wins. Although only the 6th seed, the Ravens wrecked havoc in the playoffs, beating Miami and Tennesee before advancing to play the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. The Steelers would come out on top, of course, and go on the win the Superbowl. The Bengals lost franchise Quarterback Carson Palmer early on with an arm injury and never recovered. The Browns failed to capitalize on their 10 win season in 2007. Derek Anderson came back to earth, and Braylon Edwards was plagued by dropped passes. With Cleveland and Cincinnati starting to rebuild, can Pittsburgh become the first team since New England to repeat? Or will Joe Flacco lead the Ravens to a division title this season?
