What It Will Take For The 49ers To Win The NFC West

Posted: 4th July 2010 by jake winiecki in NFL
In 2009, the Arizona Cardinals won the  NFC West fairly easily. This year that will not be the case. When Kurt Warner announced his retirement earlier this year, that knocked the Cardinals off of the top rung of the NFC West ladder. The off season that followed hurt their chances even more. The losses of Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby, and Antrell Rolle hurt the team significantly. With all of this being said, that ...

Posted: 4th July 2010 by danny o'connor in NFL
The 2009 season will be remembered as one of the worse in Raiders history, a 5-11 record yet again.  But in this time of crisis, Tom Cable made his opening statement in the court of Al Davis.  When Cable was asked by a reporter, "Would the Raiders be in the playoffs with average QB play?", Cable replied " Absolutely."  So Al Davis went out and got Jason Campbell, who will be the ...

To commemorate the 4th of July, I dug up 4 key moments from 2009 that could have made all the difference for the Miami Dolphins. Finishing at 7-9 was a severe disappointment for the fans and players, who were hoping to successfully defend their AFC East title of a year prior.

Posted: 4th July 2010 by Patrick T. in NFL
For years, we have heard rumors of extending the NFL season or "What to do with the preseason?"  Now that we are hopefully on the doorstep of a new CBA, those rumors may now become a reality.  It seems in many cases it would be wise to fall on the same side of an issue as Ray Lewis and in this case, I'll take Ray's side.  Here's why. The Record ...
