AFC Teams’ New YEar’s Resolutions to Fans
The 2009 NFL season is almost over, and in honor of New Year’s Day, I’m going to look forward to the 2010 football season. Here are what the 2010 New Year’s resolutions should be for the 16 NFL teams in the AFC.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills – A quarterback would be nice, wouldn’t it Buffalo fans. Unless you really want to have faith in Ryan Fitzgerald.
Miami Dolphins – Let Ted Ginn Jr. have one more chance at being a big play wide out. They do so much with so little. Imagine if they could get some more big play guys?
New England Patriots – Get more health insurance for the secondary. Seriously, are they even using guys from the practice squad or are they past that?
New York Jets – Get another wide out for Mark Sanchez, because Braylon doesn’t look like he is ever going to be anywhere near the player that he was in 2007.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens – Keep letting Ray Lewis do his thing until he says it’s time to hang his pads up. It’s amazing to watch how good he still is and would be great to see him finish his career as a Raven.
Cleveland Browns – Make sure they get Mike Holmgren to sign on the dotted line. It’s been way too long since the Browns had some true football leadership in charge of things.
Cincinnati Bengals – Do their best to recover from the tragic loss of wide receiver Chris Henry.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Find a way to keep Troy Polamalu healthy. This team is lost without him.
AFC South
Houston Texans – Stop teasing us! Even the Arizona Cardinals finally stopped being a tease. Of course, they waited for experts to finally give up on them after calling them a sleeper playoff contender for five straight years, but the point is, they finally showed up.
Indianapolis Colts – Become the first team to ever go undefeated in two straight seasons. Why not? Trying for one undefeated season is just getting too easy.
Jacksonville Jaguars – Get Maurice Jones Drew some help, while he is in the middle of his prime. Running backs only have so many great years in them. Take advantage and put some talent around this beast.
Tennessee Titans – Help Vince Young develop into the quarterback that we all hoped he would be when he came out of Texas. The NFL can use another exciting playmaking quarterback in the league. How about having the reincarnation of Randall Cunningham? Now that would be fun.
AFC West
Denver Broncos – Clone Brandon Marshall. No, I’m not joking. I don’t care how much trouble the guy is. Put two of him on the field and your offense would be unstoppable.
Kansas City Chiefs – Get a lot of draft picks. Trade everybody for draft picks if you have to. There are so many needs it’s sickening, but hey, you got Matt Cassel. How’s that going for you?
Oakland Raiders – Make just one good draft pick in the first round. Seriously, do you guys ever get this right?
San Diego Chargers – Find a way to get Ladainian Tomlinson back to an elite back. Wouldn’t it be great to watch a running back actually dismiss the running backs being done at the age of 30 theory.
