I can not wait for the season to start.

Soon I will be eating Pizza and drinking a few beers with my friends while watching the games.

Only thing that sucks is it will be January and super cold in no time :-( The season always seems to go by so quickly.

Quite sad to hear about Ryan Swope, quite talented guy but concussions are serious.
At least he's going back to finish his degree.

EDIT: Pitta and Maclin now as well, they're dropping like flies out there D:

Man that sucks for maclin in his contract year, he's been one of my favorite fantasy WR's the past few years. Pitta is whatever because I really don't like the ravens. I wonder who else is gonna go down in TC's.

Yah I saw that, talk about terrible situation. If he's getting a concussion during blocking drills can he really be cleared to play games?

Also Dan Koppen tore his acl, former patriot that I always liked.

Also I can't believe how far out of the loop I am because of my lack of interest this offseason. Osi umenyiora is a falcon? Say whaaaaa

Hey now. The Bengals defense should be pretty damn good this year. Best interior d-lineman in football. Fantastic ends. Sure, Malaluga is still a linebacker, but even a blind Samoan gets a sack once in a while. Plus the first round pick from last year should actually play.

Offense is going to depend a lot on how the Red Rifle plays, but he's got the weapons he needs now.

Additionally, I hope joe flacco is typically mediocre regular season joe flacco and we get to see lots of angry ravens fans this year. I still can't fathom his contract. I'd have let him walk if he demanded that much $$. Dude doesn't touch the top 5 QBs and may not be in the top 10.

I can honestly say I am hoping the Eagles finish better than 8-8. 10-6 might be pushing things but no-one knows just what Chip is really planning ... other than Mr. Kelly himself.

As for the Rams, I heard King Andy has picked you where he left off, all pass all the time.

The Bengals have talent, but the big question mark IMO is the guy behind center. Dalton is competent, but can he be great when the team needs him to be? Dalton strongly reminds me of ex-Steelers QB Neil O'Donnell...a decent enough player but not a guy who can WIN you a SB. Heck, I think Flacco's overrated, but I have to give him credit for leading his team to a SB and making big throws along the way. The Bengals should certainly be in contention for a playoff spot, but as of now they have the third-best QB in the division, and that's not something to be brushed aside.

If Kelly gets the Eagles to even 8-8, he should be in contention for coach of the year. They don't have a QB, are learning a radically different offense, are already down a starting WR, and have all kinds of question marks on defense. Kelly may get it turned around there, but I don't see a quick fix.

Andy Reid will probably have the Chiefs turned around more quickly, given that they should finally have a competent, although not great QB in Smith, and much more talent on the roster than last year's record would seem to indicate. Playoffs might not happen, but I really expect that the Chiefs will be competitive and much improved.

We'll see... amirite? They went 7-8-1 last year.

Remember, they went 2-1-1 in the NFC West.

Won and Tied against the 49ers.

Most of the crew is still here and that we've added some exciting components via Free Agency and the Draft. But the biggest benefit this year for the Rams is being the 2nd year under coach Fischer.

The whole NFC west could break out at any time IMO. Even the cards, remember what Arians did with the colts this past year? The rams have Fischer, Bradford, and a stout D. They could definately be in contention for a wild card and if they weren't in the same division as the hawks and 9'ers I'd say they were a strong cintender for a playoff spot.

It's still way to early for predictions though haha. I'll have mine probably by game 3 of the pre-season.

WOW!!! Adam Shefter is reporting the pro-bowl will be going to a fantasy style draft for the teams instead of AFC-NFC. Jerry Rice and Neon Deion will be the captains, they've also eliminated kick offs. They're doing the pickem like hockey does. Looks ill be tuning in this year to watch haha.

Agreed! Seems like they finally get how worthless the pro-bowl has been for years and are actually trying to make it something that you might actually want to watch.

Browns looked good, compared to previous pre-season games where we came out and looked like a pee-wee league team...

Alternatively, I didn't see much of the Rams... Did you guys send your cheerleaders and not much else?
