EDIT: That was a low blow.

Just be honest. bottom 5, same as last year, better than last year... etc.

 

[killap]

Just say Raider-esque. lol

LOL aight

49ers

offense...top 15...the weapons are there and if Alex cant get it together under Harbough and the WC offense then he belongs in the CFL
defense....at this very second Raider-esque lol once Free agency settles and we fill some holes should be top 10
Special teams...Raider-esque

smh @ you disrespectin' the CFL like that.

And c/s with y'alls defense being top 10. I'm hoping we can snatch up Clements to be our nickelback, but I think he'll re-sign for less money or go to Oakland.

Jacksonville:

Offense: Passing will be average without a legit #1 even with Mercedes Lewis and Mike Thomas but we've done more with less so we'll wait and see. Not sure if David or Jack will get a pass this year either. Running game will always been top 5 regardless

Defense: Middle of the pack. Picked up good pieces with Paul and Clint and we might get Dawan Landry too. Should be improved. Just gotta find a consistent pass rush opposite Kampman. Knighton and Alualu will dominate in front with Daryl Smith (most underrated LB in league) behind. Secondary still worries me. We dont have that thumper when Donovin Darius patrolled that area. One more corner wouldnt hurt just as insurance behind Derek Cox and Mathis

Special teams: Underrated as well. Expect great things from Mike Thomas, Deji Karim, Montell Owens and Scotty Mcgee

Jax is one of the few teams that I really can't put my finger on this year. Del RIo usually does well when his hot-seat is on fire, and Garrard might have a chip on his shoulder with Gabbert being drafted.

Yeah I think we get Clements back we got like 4 starters from last yrs D that are FA I think Spikes went to the Chargers and Lawson, Goldson, Clements, are visiting other teams...As much as Clements has disappointed at this point we need him back..How much cap space you think the falcons workin with?

Try being a fan. I'll agree we're the most frustrating team to figure out. Garrard shouldve had that chip on his shoulder since 2009. He has 2 years tops as QB as far as im concerned but Im hoping this turns into a Drew Brees/Phillip Rivers type thing where Dave finally gets his shit together and takes us deep into the playoffs

We're good right now. Thanks to the fact that we dropped Jenkins, Anderson, and signed Julio for two cheeseburgers and a bottle of water -- we should have enough to get our talented G Blalock back in the fold, get our RFA's to sign their tenders and sign at least one more mid-tier UFA.

We'll have even more cap space next year than we did this year.

Da Bears: Offense; D- (once they get consistency on the o-line, second year in Martz's system, better run blocking, it'll be a B+).
Defense; B+ (linebacker depth is concerning, as is secondary depth, but the signing of Gholston to play his college position of d-lineman can help generate more of a pass rush. Bears need to get more three and outs.)
Special teams; A+ (Hester, Gould, Dave Toub).

^^^^ Another team I'm not sure about. Cutting Tommie Harris and letting Manning dip is gonna sting in a division that's suddenly talented offensively.

We'll find out what the Bears lookin like out chea come WEEK 1....

 

[nujerz84]

NY Giants Offense B A well balance offense even with the injuries to the oline last season still only gave up 15 sacks on of the fewest in the NFL and Ahmad Bradshaw ran for over 1200 yards and Jacobs for over 700 yards. Our WR core of Nicks, Manningham and Steve Smith is as good as any trio in the NFL and with possible addition of Burress makes it stronger. Why I rate it a B is turnovers too many fumbles and ints... Though Manning statistically is coming off a good season needs to lower his INTs I think it will get better this year.

Defense B Our pass rush of Justin Tuck, Osi, emerging Jason Pierre Paul and hopefully a healthy Kwi is strong. Our LBS suck though. Our secondary once a weakness is almost strength.. One of the top saftey duos in Rolle and Phillips,. And go four deep at Corner with Thomas, Webster, First Round Pick Akumarua and Aarron Ross.

Special Teams D... No rertun game... below avg coverage units and Matt Dodge sucks.

Phins:

Offense - Henne looks like he will the starting qb on Game 1, but he has alot to prove. Biggest thing is can he build chemistry with his #1 receiver, who seems to despise him(throwing two balls out of bounds, During the game). Likely changes in running backs, with Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas. Bush brings an added dimension but Thomas is an unknown. The WR's seem to be very solid with Marshall, Bess, and Brian Hartline. I expect another tight end to compete with Anthony Fasano who is serviceable.(Zach Miller is rumored to be on phins radar). Another strength could be O line, there is some serious 1st round talent on the line line, with Mike Pouncey expected to start at center, anchored by Jake Long. Overall C but if Henne improves, could be a B to B+.

Defense: Strength of team, solid D, though some believe its over rated due to the teams lack of respect of Phins offense. Cameron Wake is a beast on the edge, and Koa Misi is a solid pass rusher. Paul Soliai played pro bowl caliber nose tack to end the year, and is expected to provide the same. The LB's are above average, with Dansby and new acquistion Kevin Burnett, two play makers. The CB's are solid, with Vontae Davis, who should make the next step into the upper echelon of CB's. Overall B+

Special Teams: Kicker is great, and got a big boost with Reggie Bush, still kick coverage was a weakness. Overall C

 

[JUXcaptainHOOK]

My team: Indianapolis Colts

Offense : as long as everyone is healthy like their 2010 season we'll be back in the Super Bowl for sure... (10/10)

Defense : Idk their defense confuses me... they can hold the ravens to 3 points one week and next week they giving up 30 .and cant stop the run... hopefully they fix it (7/10)

ST : Our ST is trash and has been trash for a very long time and which is why we lost against the Jets last year in the playoffs....

Jim Irsay just needs to be active in making this team better and not just paying Peyton Manning mad guap

 

[HustleThaDon]

Texans

Offense: Top 5. We've been in the top 5 in total offense the last 3 years. Owen Daniels is back healthy. Expect more of the same.

Defense: Top 15-20. We were 31st in total defense last year. Demeco Ryans is back. Add Johnathan Joseph and Daniel Manning plus an experienced D-coordinator in Wade Phillips. Should improve dramatically.

Special Teams: Manning should help in the return game. We need a new punter though so ill say middle of the pack/improved.

Damn, too bad y'all missed out on signing our old punter.

smh @ the Buccaneers giving our old punter a bigger contract than we gave Julio Jones. lol

We tried to re-sign him too. I heard Dimitroff offered him 4 yrs and like 7.5M. Buccaneers came with 19.2M and Dimitroff was like "Here, let me help you pack."

According to some Bears fans, Manning was a wasted pick who didn't pan out and the coaching staff (i.e Lovie Smith) didn't develop properly in Chicago?

Yet he was good enough to earn a large contract with the Texans?

Which one is it?
