Technically the Buccs did go 0-26 Do the Lions have it in them?

I have a feeling it's going to be another long season with the Chiefs. I went to the Eagles/Chiefs pre-season game and they just looked horrendous in the first quarter. Once Cassel loosened up and started throwing it around they looked better. They just don't have that deep threat, though.
And the fumbles!!! Holy Hell!!! They fumbled on the very first series against the Bucs last week, and on the very first play from scrimmage they fumbled. That crap is going to have to stop.

Of course pre season is just that...
The Chiefs I thought may have a decent season, but who knows.
Also apparently they are the Patriots of the Midwest now...
I wonder how that over rated hack Tebow is gunna do.
Will they try to run some madness? Actually develop him into a legit QB? Can he even do so?

I don't think you'll see much of him this season.

Raiders did okay yesterday but still a lot of mistakes. 49'rs are a pretty good team so it will give them plenty to work on this week. Got to keep the QB from getting pounded into the ground. Everyone talks about their great draft this year but we still don't have that solid Left Tackle. Mario Henderson almost got Campbell decapitated with that non block in the second quarter. Good news is Bruce Gradkoski looked as good as he did last year until he got hurt. That gives us three solid QBs this year and I cannot remember the last time the Raiders were in that position.

Yeah, not too familiar with your guys' O-line (maybe that says something) but the raiders do appear to have a decent team being built. If it can just be "put together" then you may have something!

^ It is a very young team for the most part. New parts on defense are working out okay but still have given up a couple of long runs in the last two games but they have had some great stands as well. I am thinking that unit will get better as they go. The o-line has not really been addressed in the last couple of drafts and i think next year they will. Need a right guard and and left tackle specifically and I think it might be a top notch line.

Well the pieces can be acquired, hopefully it can be put together.
I hope so. I mean the Raiders are a team I have no problems with, would be nice to see them get out of that hell

Of course not...but they're defending champs.... old news  Need to talk about the challengers to their crown! Honestly, I like the Saints and was rooting for them for the playoffs and SB but I was surprised. I can't decide if their D was greater then the sum of its parts or they played beyond themselves that year... Either way, I would like to see the D shored up...but they got some young players to develop so maybe no issue. I assume the offense will be ungodly...no reason to think otherwise at the moment

I am thinking that reducing the preseason to increase the regular season might be a bad thing. The Lions only seem to win in the preseason. Then again, if that could somehow translate to 2 regular season wins than I think that I would be all for it.

The Lions have Derrick Williams.
They need to use him more. Run a 3 receiver set with him in the slot.
Also returning kicks.
16-0!
Well ok no. But still

Posted this as a joke in the football thread but..
The 49ers will be a sleeper team this year IMO
The NFC West is weak and they got some good pieces in place for a surprise run.
Good O-line, great RB, strong defense (and more added).
Essentials aside...Alex Smith was surprising. If he maintains or improves, and Michael Crabtree quits being an ass....interesting team.

 Looking forward to a nice football season that will keep you guys busy in this thread. And maybe you can do something out of the ordinary to convert me to this sport! Edit: I suppose the season is an autumn to spring season, right? Like in football "soccer".
