Back into the swamp you go.
I wouldn't get your hopes up, this is a guy that picked the Texans to win the Super Bowl.

And who thought the Ravens would win it all last year?
I think it's more likely the Falcons miss the playoffs than win the Super Bowl this year. But that's just me.
Der Der Der, Trent Truck, Gawrsh, I'm down for repairs every 2 weeks, der der. Suck it Kave, you degenerate, flea infested, let the whole Cleveland Browns piss on you stupid Cat.

Thanks bros. captive, I'm a software developer. My company is doing another round of layoffs after doing one earlier in the year. We all thought it was done already. Shitty part is that I just got home from PAX yesterday, and today was my first day back in the office.
Think I just found the Giant fans gif of the year
Pretty sure Bolty McDouchebag predicted the Ravens winning and Flaccos reign of terror from day one.
Also pretty sure that no other Ravens fans were onboard.

Just three seasons ago, all four NFC West teams finished below .500. The Seahawks beat the Rams for a dubious division title with a 7-9 record thanks to having the least-worst tiebreakers. The NFC West was not just the weakest division in the NFL, but the weakest division in North American team sports.
Now, it's the toughest division in the NFL and one of the most competitive in all of sports. Franchise architects like John Schneider, Trent Baalke and Les Snead worked hand-in-glove with motivator-strategist coaches Pete Carroll, Jim Harbaugh and Jeff Fisher to build forward-thinking organizations with talented rosters and innovative schemes. The Seahawks and 49ers represent the NFL's cutting edge, and the Rams are rebuilding after a half-decade of mismanagement. The Cardinals have adorable red birdies on their helmets.

God I hope the Panthers smother the Seahawks to death.

I thought this article I stumbled upon the other day was kind of interesting:
http://www.sportingcharts.com/artic...-odds-tell-us-about-the-eventual-winners.aspx
If you look at the preseason SB favorites from the past 6 years you'll notice that none of them won the big game:
Now, if you look at the teams that did win you'll see that they were always in the top half but usually not one of the top few:
Okay, so with that knowledge in mind, here are the odds for this season:
So recent history suggests the SB winner will be one of these teams:
It's over-analysis, there's no doubt about it, but it at least tells me that the SB winner is very rarely one of the "safe" picks before the season gets going, at least with regards to recent history. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Broncos aren't winning it all this season, just that recent history doesn't necessarily support that being the safest bet.
Also, it should be mentioned that the Patriots were pretty darn close one of those years and without Brady during another.
That defense couldn't smother an infant.
geez dude. That sounds eerily similar to me. I was let go the first day back from a week vacation. Good luck getting back in your feet.

LOL:
5. The Chip Kelly Experiment is an overwhelming success: I covered the Eagles first two preseason games and must say that it felt like a regular season atmosphere in Philadelphia. The fans are as invested, curious and excited as they seemingly ever were in the Andy Reid era, and the offense delivered. The defense? It was atrocious Week 1 vs. the Patriots, better Week 2 vs. the Panthers, and just fair against the Jaguars in Week 3. Either way, the entire team has bought in. Theres energy, enthusiasm and a belief that this team could be one to worry about. The Eagles are going to be dangerous team, the offense is going to be unpredictable and nasty and the wins will be there. Philadelphias been slated by most to win 5-7 games with this year serving as a transitional one. Garbage. Put 'em down for 8 or 9 and in the thick of the NFC playoff race.
He also picks the Cowboys to win the East and the Skins to finish last. He is clearly just throwing nonsense out and hoping something sticks so he can say "look how smart I am".
I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm fairly certain Star Lotuleleli could smother an infant.

Rewatching Steelers/Bungholes from last year. It's just as frustrating watching Wallace drop those passes a year later. 3 drops already and the 1st quarter isn't over.

You do know that because of this article Corn on the Shaub will be injured by week 4, Andre's hammies will start pulling in week 3, Hopkins will remain concussed all season, and JJ Swat will have a broken hand. Foster will be fine, though.

Theres no Bills fans to talk trash with.
Its amazing that he underperformed and still got the massive contract.

The only thing more hilarious than Flacco hoisting the Lombardi will be Jay Cutler winning it all this year.
Think about it for a second: It is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. All the teams in the NFC East are about the same talent wise and the Eagles will be playing with enthusiasm and optimism. Don't count out the Eagles, just look at the Colts last year. Their talent was no where near what their record was but they played with motivation.

I just cant see it. The transition to 3-4 is going to be rough. I have no faith in Billy Davis as DC, no Maclin is a major loss, no reason to believe Vick will make it through the year, no backup QB for when he gets hurt. I do hope they show improvement, but they need to do bad and get a high pick next year. There are so many holes, starting with QB.
The NFC East is a bit of a toss up as last year showed. I think any of them apart from the Eagles have a good shot.
You got Thor on your damn team man!!!
let DeMeco work with the defense and keep Connor Barwin away from the jacket shop and youre golden.
or just send demeco back. We need a back up for Cushing

Most disappointing play of the Steelers' 2012 season:

I dont see it with the Cowboys. They are also switching D's, and to one that most people seem to think time has passed by, and all the shit with the HC. I think this is the year they hit bottom and Jerry brings in real football people next year to run things.

As a fan that's the kind of stuff that makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Its like he doesnt even try to catch it
Jags play the Bills this week?
Yeah, but it's the NFC East. 8-8 will probably win the division so acting like you need a "perfect" team to do so is goofy. It's easily the weakest division in football this year.
You shouldn't talk out of your ass. Arguably the best front 7 in the league. You'll see when they smother Wussle's midget ass into the turf.
