I don't know if there's anything can convince me to put the Cowboys on the top of this list. I keep thinking that they accidentally reversed their spot with the Packers' spot (#14? Really?). Also, as much as I would love it if they would give up their fandom, Raiders fans are undeniably diehard. If any AFC West should be at the bottom, it should be the Chargers (#11? No way.).

Titans #10?

Yeah.

I've been very impressed with Blaine Gabbert in this preseason game.

What a fucking disaster. Thank goodness this is a preseason game, because everyone needs a chewing out after this performance. If you want to win a Super Bowl you've got to be able to play better against high caliber teams like Seattle.

Also, I sure hope that Derek Wolfe didn't suffer a David Pollack type injury.

Didn't think it was as bad as the score indicated.

The fumble at the goal line should have been a TD for the Broncos.

Your offense moved the ball pretty well against our D.

I was happy with our offensive play, not so much with our defense.

Interesting WR bust for WR bust trade here:

my jonathan baldwin moment


he was a senior in highschool playing hoops with us. it was me coming down on the fast break after a steal and it was just his buddy who was the schools starting point guard. i did a two hand fake to the middle behind the kid and he stopped dead in his tracks and jumped in front of where i was making the pass.

problem was it was a fake and left me for an uncontested layup with him standing at the top of the lane wondering what happened as baldwin laid on the ground laughing hysterically at his biting on the fake

oh, and he dunked on me a few times

Nope, my jets will

I don't particularly care which team tanks as long as they stop the Raiders from getting Clowney.

When's the last time a defensive player was this hyped a full season before he can declare for the draft?

Can't really think of one. Suh might be the only one that comes even close.

Suh was hyped pretty good, but I don't ever remember it being this big for a guy this early on the defensive side. If he is as good as people think he will be, he could be a game changer on defense, He's DE with a O-lineman's strength with the speed of WR, I will gladly watch my team lose 14-15 games to get him.

Probably Suh, but maybe Reggie White if you want to go farther back.

In general the hype ususually goes to the flashy positions like DB so I'd say maybe Charles Woodson or Desmond Howard and Deion obviously, but lately as the QB has become so important, the pass rushers have become the most important position on defense.

There haven't been many in history with as much skill and ability shown in college as Clowney. Definately not this early into their career.

youl probably watch them lose 14-15 regardless

What teams that sucked last year (6-10 or worse record) do y'all think will have winning records this year? I'm thinking Detroit, Buffalo, and KC.

Detroit should be better, but they have a shitty coach, the bills suck every year. I can see KC making the biggest improvement.

I was going to say Miami, New Orleans, and St. Louis but they all won 7 games. Tennessee, perhaps?

$765 million?

NFL owners cackling and rolling blunts.
