Steve Dugas ranks the league for Week 9 of the 2009 season, with movement, records, statistics, and his candid weekly analysis.
Still the team to beat right now, despite losing to the Tangs. We’ll know what the real Thugs look like after these next three tough games...
Did the Thugs have something to do with Daniels going down for the year? Why else would they pick up a second high quality TE, other than to keep him from their foe in the NFC?
This title contender may not need RB depth at the moment, not when they’re getting TD passes from two different players (Brees and Addai). In reality: Depth at the RB position would help Gibby feel better about the coffee he’s brewing.
Has Aceto acquired the final piece of the Refugees championship puzzle? Aceto pulls the right strings at just the right time and has a tough team in his corner.
Wake up Bri, last week’s nightmare is over. Brady was just off because of a bye, not an injury. The P#op train rolls into Thug town with a full arsenal, but is it enough without a real #2 RB and no TE?
This team is baaaack. But can they survive an incredibly tough end of season schedule?
Romo’s resurgence is keeping the Eaters in the playoff hunt.
Still alive, for now. IF they can hold up without a QB this week, they could make things interesting in the NFC wild card hunt as their schedule has them not playing a team over .500 the rest of the way out.
Where did Eli go? This team needs a WR or two - playing with a weak group of WRs week-in-and-week-out can hurt, even with one of the best young RB stables. Rumor: Davidson brothers thinking of pulling another trade together.
A loss this week and they are back to earth, but for now, enjoy the ride.
They don’t seem to want the NFC West crown even though it really is theirs for the taking.
If this WR group that looks good on paper can start to perform on the field, the NFC West may be theirs when the music stops.
Injuries, dramatically fading veteran stars, and now a nice trade on the surface looking sour after its first week... When is the 2010 draft again?
8 points. 8 points. 8 points!!! Did Halloween help turn the Manning curse over to the Buddies?
Could be poised to make a run up the lower third of the rankings. It will be determined if that is true this weekend as the O-Tang Clan comes to town.
Still hung over from last week’s celebrating. Does Percy Harvin have another sucker punch for Steve?
