NFL Roundup Part II
Brees Threw 6 TD vs. Lions
Saints Offense Doesn’t Skip A Beat
New Orleans Saints led the NFL in several offensive categories last year, including QB Drew Brees nearly breaking Dan Marino’s single season record for passing yards, and yesterday the Saints offense dropped 45 points on Detroit. Brees threw for 6 TD’s, and the offense gained over 500 yards of offense against the lowly Lions. Matthew Stafford made his debut for the Lions and struggled. He completed just above 43% of his passes, but this is part of the growing pains for starting a rookie QB. He made a couple good throws, hitting Calvin Johnson, on what Chris Cwik will argue until he’s blue in the face was touchdown but wasn’t, and Bryant Johnson on a nice out pattern. The Lions defensive woes continued, despite some turnovers, and Saints marched on to victory.
NFL Season Preview: AFC East

Will Pennington Lead The Dolphins To Another Title?
The AFC East was anything but usual last season. One star quarterback came in, while one was lost after only 8 minutes of play. Another quarterback won the Comeback Player of the Year Award for the second time in his career. That’s right, the Patriots did not win the AFC East last season. They didn’t even make the playoffs in 2008. Chad Pennington and the Dolphins took full advantage of Tom Brady’s injury and went 11-5. The Pats, who also went 11-5, lost the tie-breaker to the Dolphins and finished in 2nd place. Even though Tom Brady went down early, Matt Cassel stepped in and played his way to a big contract with the Chiefs. Behind Brett Favre, the Jets looked strong early but went only 1-4 down the stretch. The Jets finished 9-7, but were only able to finish 3rd in the division. The Bills started strong as well, but couldn’t manage a win in their own division. Despite the struggle within the division, the Bills still managed to win 7 games. The Pats dynasty may have lost the battle last season, but the war is far from over. Can the Patriots reclaim the division title, or will Chad Pennington lead the Dolphins to glory again?
