I'm surprised the Texans traded him. I don't follow them too closely, but I thought he was doing pretty well for them.Quote:

The fricken Lions aren't going after any of the QBs! :mad:
That Fitzpatrick guy from St Louis would have been great. If Kitna goes down, the Lions will not win one more game. Dead serious. If he is lost for the season in the first quarter of the first game, the Lions will go 0-16.
raiders cut darius....? i thought he was pretty good?
crockett will sign on with someone else, he has gas left... bonehead move = raiders cut 3rd round DE moses, whom most observers said was tearing it up and looked to be a starter.
cardinals grabbed him immediately... basically the raiders gave their 3rd pick away for free.
Nah, just shows you how deep they are in that position already.Quote:

They cut a few big names. Darius didn't make it but gerard did? Moses didn't make it? Crockett was a good blocker, he will be missed. But they cut a o line starter last year and hawthorne. Lots of changes. Even Whitted is gone and he was Davis's sprinter. So Kiffin must have more power then previous coaches. Bush is on IR and Russel is not on the roster. Walter is probably trade bait at the moment. Or he will be cut when Russel signs.
I see Leftwich going to Miami.

Because the media knows better than the coaching staff does, right?Quote:

Speaking of DL, the Broncos acquired Simeon Rice to a 1 year $3 million contract today. The Broncs really needed that after we lost Ekuban.
I foresee a bad season for the Broncos anyways, maybe just over .500.

Well Moses wasn't that great against the run (he's not that big) and was outplayed at DE by Jay Richardson. It's a bummer, but I'm not surprised.
atleast trade him for a 5th or something, damn man
LOL at Peter King.Quote:

Raiders, we all know...
so it's down to SD and DEN, cutler is a gunslinger who isn't afraid to let it fly... javon walker is the best receiver in the division, san diego has crappy corners (cromartie looks promising, and they got that rookie oneil guy who shut down calvin johnson), denver has the better defense... not as good of an offense, but it could go either way.
Real nfl starts tonight. I am happy.
I agree. And I don't know that SD is as good as their record indicated last year.Quote:

KC is in for a hard season with no decent QB. I think that they fall hard this year...Quote:

I don't think that the Raiders will make the SB or anything... but I dio think that they will be much improved this year.Quote:

Better QB. Change in offensive philosophy (quicker QB drops). And the O-Line HAS to be better than last year... only one direction for them to go...
Holy Crap!Quote:

I was listening to ESPN Radio the other day, and they had a panel of analysts going down their predictions for conference championships and Super Bowl. Basically, all 5 or 6 of them said it would be Patriots vs Chargers and Bears vs Saints.
Come on guys, at least TRY to make it look like you're actually analyzing something instead of just rehashing last year.
Yea all these predictions are old. Nobody has anything of value to say. And if they really knew what they were talking about they would be talking about Lions Saints for the NFC Championship, I mean come on.
