Seirously, we all bitch and moan about this and that and that but in the end we all cave, like Pat said are ya really not going to?
Yeah the Seahawks will be a team with high expectaions now. I thought R Wilson would be good, but I did not expect that quality, but now the pressure is really on. Even just staying the same will be seen as "bad"
Oh and Kaepernick, talk about pressure! I know it's unrealistic to expect consecutive SBs but anything short of going will have to feel like a loss.
I'm really digging the Hawks and Niners as usual.
Hm, like I said earlier G Men are just a total ? We saw in '11 with no D, no run game and no pass protection and Eli can drag them to a SB win, but then when they have a good team they fall apart I literally have just stopped trying to predict them really. And last year, we still have no idea what happened. Started off #1 passing offense in football (at least big passing) then all the second half looked like they couldn't move the ball on Woodbridge High School.
Even though the run game improved a good bit (still meh) and the pass protection was better! Again still meh but better than 31st!
Guess it proved the true value of Nicks, but really passing game is where I feel fine with long as Easy E is at the helm.
All the rest of the team...erm yeah typical Giants I expect. It's gunna be great, or total trash

Not going to make it a priority anymore. The product is such junk. I'm at with the NFL about where I was with the Simpsons in season 12-13. I was still tuning in because I'd grown up loving it but I knew those in control were killing it and that I'd soon have to stop. There are many sad days ahead.

Should I do my annual predictions or not? I'm finding it very hard to find a reason to give a sh*t about GODell's happy fun-time flag football league.

I must say, this is a weird year to pick them.

Gmen support.
I think this will be the first time since I began liking football that I'll predict the Gmen to win their division...which will probably translate to 6-10 or worse and 3rd overall.

I think the defense is really going to struggle. But with Mike Patterson I think you'll have a lot less issues vs inside runs and one cut games.

Yeah I like him, and those sure have been issues...
I'm inclined to agree, pass coverage will still be a wreck I'm sure and I'm hoping they revive the pass rush, otherwise it's gunna be a rough year.
But hey it's all O these days and that should be strong as ever.

The Lions' road to their 1st ever Super Bowl victory starts tonight against the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.
Sadly, as usual, I think that the Lions are driving on the wrong side of a dead-end street yet again this year. But they sure sound as optimistic as usual on Detroit radio.

Well,preseason officially started so it's about that time of year for the new thread.
Sloppy 44-16 win against the Bucs last night for the Ravens,the newer guys looked decent but you can tell this new defense is going to need some time to gel.
