Offseason moves: what has your team done so far? Mine kept a coach the players love, and a GM they hate. My personal jury is out on that one.

Positive note: Luck is reportedly completely healed. (For now. Let's go get a fucking O-line.)
 
Bell said they'd be playing tomorrow f he didn't get hurt. Not sure of the context or if that was a dig at Williams but they all need to get healthy and even the Rooneys came out and said they need to shore up the secondary. Duh.
 
The Pat's fired the O-line coach...because it was his fault the team builds their line on mostly fifth round picks and practice players.:rolleyes:

Big thing for the Pats is cutting some salary, Mayo will be gone and I think Lafell is history. The Pats need a deep threat to keep defenses from stacking the line-what Denver did-to stop the short stuff.

Locking up Hightower and Collins long term is a must. Some say that about Chandler Jones, but one sack in 8 playoff games doesn't impress me. He gets sacks in bunches and in blow outs. I don't think he's worth serious money.

Pats need o-line and the deep threat, other wise I think they're pretty set.

Only other thing I think they need is their coach being hauled into Kraft's office and being told to stop acting cute and coach the way it makes sense to, not try to act like nothing applies to you.

BB needs a dressing down big time for the seriously bad last few games of the season that cost them home field.

I don't think he meant it as an insult to the kid who fumbled-or to Williams who did a great job until he got hurt. I think he meant the truth, he's an elite player. Same could be said if Brown played in that Denver game.

And I agree their secondary is an issue, maybe a pass rusher as well, Harrison is getting long in the tooth.
 
Nice losers' thread.

From NFL.com "why the Panthers will win the Superbowl"

It's rare to see a team make the Super Bowl with a sub-standard passing game, but that's what the Broncos have done. The Patriots held them to 244 yards in 15 drives. Manning has thrown eight passes this postseason that went more than 20 yards in the air; he's completed one of them and it easily could have been intercepted

Wonder if Ashley received any packages this week?
 
So much for Colts getting a nap after their London game...and it was their choice for no bye week afterwards.

Do you think anyone got fired over the HOF Game fiasco?

Literally an entire year to prepare, the official start to the NFL (pre) season, and the game gets cancelled due to field conditions?

And I saw one player tweet that the field was horrendous last year too.
 
The NFL should own that process and bring in their crew. It was a big flop for sure no matter who actually made the mistake.


The Raiders and Jags made great off season moves. Raiders will be the team to beat in the AFC West. Jags, should contend in their division.


The Patriots will be fine without Brady for 4 weeks.


The Steelers will be fine without Bell for 4 weeks.



The Cardinals win it all this year.



My team will continue to stink as they still have no QB.

A few teams have no QB - which is yours?

Packers will be good this year. Injuries to the WR and OL killed them last year, along with Eddie Lacy's sub-par year.

Cowboys could be good again.

It will be interesting to see if Carolina can repeat.
 
Cowboys? Cowboys? Don't talk to me about the Cowboys! We're just trying to win one more game! Cowboys???


🏈

The woeful Browns. :cool:

I see the Cowboys defense as a rotting stinkfest. Though, if Romo and Dez stay healthy their offense could carry them to the playoffs.


Also, watch out for the Gmen. Damon Harrison in the middle will make their defense fierce!
 
The Vikings have shiny new stadium, so the fix will be in for them to win a Super Bowl in a few years.

Gonna be watching all my former NDSU players who make the NFL.

Go Redblacks!
 
LA Rams

The first pro kick-off in more than 21 years in Los Angeles.... what happens? Cowboys run for a touchdown!! I hope that isnt an bad omen...

But get rid of Fisher....my god.

Haven't heard anything, but if ever there was cause to fire someone...

Unloaded its most recent bust, the former Johnny Football; drafted its future busts.

I doubt I will be posting much in this thread.
 
I'm still cheering for the Browns, always will.


I do enjoy watching the Pats, Steelers and Broncos. Now that Peyton has retired, probably won't watch the Broncos quite as much.



Right now, I'm watching the Pats/Saints on NFL Network.
 
Browns are going to beat the Patriots in Brady's first game back.
