Russell Wilson was the worst active QB in the league last time he played. :sigh: Better call Cam.

Marcus Mariota's last pass in college was an INT, what a choke artist.

Im just happy to get quality analysis versus chippy bullshit.

Winston was never known for anything but elevating himself above the game so Im confused as well

I mean he only looked super human last year because he was digging his team out of the holes that he had a giant hand in creating

That's kinda the opposite of cracking under pressure

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
My prediction:

The Patriots go 13-3 and make it to the Super Bowl. They then probably lose but the whole thing still pisses a whole lot of people off. And if somehow they win, Belichick literally tells Goodell to go gently caress himself on live TV ala Tom Jackson.

Panthers are going to do pretty well this year. As bad as Byron Belle was last year the rest of the line was on point and is actually quite good. As bad as their WRs last year there were two 1,000 yard receivers, and that's with two games of Derek Anderson. Where they're good, they're really loving good. And Carolina plays the AFC South and NFC East, so there are free games on the schedule.

Tampa had a lot of close games last year but their schedule was dogshit, and even with it they gave up the eighth most points and yards on the other side of the ball. I don't know if a QB fixes both those things. The problems in Tampa are the owners.

Atlanta doesn't have any dudes. they need another draft. If you're picking Atlanta to win you're also picking Quinn to be coach of the year and Pioli to be exec of the year. Let that sink in.

No one is quite sure what's going on in New Orleans, but it looks like they're trying to construct a team built entirely of wheel routes out of the backfield. And their first or second best defender has a mysterious pec injury he won't talk about and might be suspended for beating up a woman so who knows!

I just want the Panthers to beat the loving seahawks.

Ask me about Derek Carr's stolen MVP awards, those dastardly refs, and, oh yeah, having the absolute worst fucking gimmick in The Football Funhouse.
Raiders are going to win 6 or 7 this year and look like a team on the upswing. We'll finally be able to use all our cash to get some quality free agents. After Peyton retires, Rivers gets traded, and KC underperforms (again), Raiders win the division in 2016.

I predict that, after the 2015 season, no team will have more Super Bowl titles than God's own team, the PITTSBURGH STEELERS.



Nor will any team have more total wins, playoff wins, or division titles since the merger than the Lord's Chosen PITTSBURGH STEELERS.





(The Steelers will go like 7-9)

Do you disagree? I mean we could go in to it but I thought that was pretty self evident at this point.

I guess I'm just curious where exactly you're going with this. They've shown recently they will spend. They don't meddle in the front office and with personnel. They've upgraded facilities recently. They were once an issue, but I don't think that's really an excuse anymore.

Joking aside i like big over-informative posts about other teams. Thanks to TFF my football friends think I'm some all-knowing resource on the NFL. The downside is I feel like a total sperg when I'm talking about football with a friend and say something like "Next week is going to be tough on your team with x player injured" and they have no clue who I'm talking about.

I thought everyone was being really chicken littley about how bad the Bears will be, but then I looked at the schedule and they will legit be lucky to win five games. Too bad they missed out on drafting NFL superstar quarterback Trevor Siemian this year, though.

They'll be ok they drafted a wide receiver that knows almost two routes and can work on an entire side of the field! So long as Cutler doesn't need to throw left for some reason they'll be unstoppable

Cutler will carry the bears to 9 wins but will singlehandedly lose some games and it will be his fault Chicago isn't in the playoffs according to the media

It's easily the best part of TFF - the knowledge from people who watch the teams inside and out. It's why mega homers are easy to spot because a few people actually follow other teams and can laugh when someone claims Dallas Thomas is about to turn the corner at guard.

But this is a bad example BECAUSE HE WILL
