Moss' mouth vs. Favre's forgetfulness: Here's your 2010 NFL season preview
The 2010 NFL season is officially underway. Here are the top potential storylines:
• Can the New Orleans Saints repeat?
Only three teams have won back-to-back titles in the past 20 years, the New England Patriots in 2003-04, the Denver Broncos in 1997-98 and the Dallas Cowboys in 1992-93, so history isn’t on New Orleans’ side.
But the Saints have all of its stars on offence returning, such as Drew Brees, Pierre Thomas Jersey, Reggie Bush (with or without his Heisman trophy), Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey. As long as they can allow less than 30 points per game on defence, they will have a great opportunity.
• Will Brett Favre be a factor like he was last season?
Favre is coming off one of his best statistical years of his long, long, career and the Vikings were only an NFC Championship game overtime loss to the Saints away from the Super Bowl. But offseason ankle surgery, and more drama on whether he would return or not, must have had an effect on his mindset. I’d like to see him leave on a championship note, however it would be a long shot this year, as too many factors are seemingly stacked against him.Side note to the Vikings: If Favre falters, I hear Doug Flutie is contemplating making another comeback.
• Will Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens’ Batman and Robin tandem impress or implode?
I’m probably one of the few people who think this may actually work. The Bengals’ quarterback, Carson Palmer, played his college football at USC and had the responsibility of providing the ball to a number of star players. His experience, coupled with the off-the-wall friendship between the two receivers, could push Cincinnati deep into the playoffs. Ochocinco had a great start Sept. 12 with 159 yards and a touchdown. Owens had 53 yards. But both receivers are deep threats and defences won’t be able to double team the two of them at the same time, which should leave the other one open.
Either way,NHL Jerseys, the Bengals’ TV ratings should be better than Rotten Tomatoes’ rating for the movie Batman and Robin. |
