Bush(Reggie) is a talent, maybe I've been hard on him. If used correctly anyone can excel, guess they just need to find the best fit. And febus...the first step is admitting!  The fins have alot of work...but hopefully 08 will be a good first step. You gotta believe though Parcells will do the best possible.

I didn't think it was possible, but this year's Chiefs could be uglier than last year's. Gonna be a LONG season, indeed.

The Lions are 3 and 0 in preseason. I know the preseason doesn't mean much, but is it possible that they might actually be decent this year???

Yea, though it dosnt have much to do with pre season. Last year it looked like they turned the corner but then fell flat. You never know with football, but you'd think the Lions would have to make another step foward.

The problem was that the Lions had the toughest second-half schedule in football last year. They had an easy first half, and everybody went "OMG 10 wins?!" and then they got dominated by all the good teams they had to play.

The Giants are going 8-8 this year. The offense is exactly the same (Shockey didn't play that much last year), and the defense has gotten worse on every front: they lost the best pass-rusher in football at D-end, they lost both outside linebackers from last year (and Kiwi went back to the D-line to make up for Osi), and they lost their best defensive back. CRAP.

Hi guys, hope you don't mind a bit of input from a Packers fan in the UK. We don't get too much coverage over here, but at least one game per week live is not too bad. Never get to see much of the Packers though  .
Unbelievable goings-on with Favre / Rodgers. Favre was/is a legend, but time to move on I say. You can't afford to flip-flop when you reach his age. Teams to have plans for the season you know Brett! I've seen nothing of Rodgers, what do you guys in the know think of him?
I presume the Patriots are big favourites, but I was impressed by the Chargers last season and think they could go very close.
For an outsider, how about the Eagles?
Once again, sorry for intruding in your "business" guys but I've been a fan of the game since the early 80s. Steve Largent, Dwight Clark, Marcus Allen etc. Nostalgia eh?
Cheers,
Roj.

All are welcome to contribute, especially when they have well-founded opinions like yours.
Everybody who's seen Rogers practice seems to have a lot of faith in his ability to lead the Packers to another great season.
I like the Chargers as well. Great defense and the best running back of the decade.

Just the fact that the games all count starting Thursday night gets me excited. The olympics were fine as a diversion from the regular TV fare but THIS IS FOOTBALL! Woo-Hoo.... Welcome back, NFL. I missed ya.
