Didn't see if this was posted two days ago, but Gil Brandt ranks the "now or never" teams - Steelers and G-Men top the list.

Enjoy 6-10!
Bad list. Broncos should be #1. Peyton isn't getting any younger and when he leaves the Broncos are back to square one. Eli and Ben are both younger and can quickly be built around if need be but the Broncos are in full blown rebuild mode when Peyton is done.
Yeah. The evidence was really flimsy...
Don't y'all gotta go pull Roofles off another cow in a backwater Georgia bathroom?
Yeah I don't know how the Broncos are not no. 1 on that list either. Peyton can't have much time left to be a qb that can still contend. I mean physically he looked like shit last year. Mentally he is still one of the best of all time but eventually the body can't keep up,

Mech is a lot of things, but smart certainly isn't one of them, so he probably doesn't remember.

The rankings are who he thinks will fall off first. Broncos have at least one more good season with Manning as QB.
AFC EAST STANDINGS 2013-2014 SEASONYup.
Pats will win at least 10.

... "for lengthy prison sentences!"
..."to continue building towards a 2028 playoff run!"
... "to be confused with jags fans"
good luck Mike Wallace
Sweet! It's when you are supposed to suck that you end up somehow winning the Superbowl.

I understand that Tannehill has an absolute cannon of an arm but I wouldn't worry too much about Wallace, he's got the speed to get there.
My predictions:
1. Pats
2. Dolphins
3. Bills
4. W-E-T-S
No wildcards.
Using his own criteria I would still put the Broncos #1. There are hits Ben and Eli could take this year and bounce back that would pretty much destroy Peyton. I would put them first
BTW, I miss Godslay

I get the argument for the Steelers, but I agree with everyone else--Broncos need to be number 1.
I also foresee the Giants doing well over the next 5 years. Not sure if it's "now or never" for them.

I'm glad someone discovered this lost work, it would have been a shame if his story had gone untold. RIP Gronk.

I have been out of the NFL, and major sports loops, but one of my coworkers said that the NFL is looking to have 18 game seasons and expand to London, LA, and possibly a couple of new cities bringing the total to 36-40 teams. I can't imagine how hard the logistics would be to manage a 40 team league or to have a team in another continent. Goodel did say he wants the league to be making revenue of $25 billion by 2027 so those things are feasible, I guess.

The guy who talked to police about Hernandez is a heavy drug user. Good news I guess for Hernandez at trial maybe, but why is he associating with a guy with failed a drug test for PCP? The Patriots have to be horrified about what might come from that secret apartment Hernandez kept

I just can't agree with the Steelers or Giants. They have aging talent and these teams won't last long, but if there are two teams in the league who know how to reload on the fly, it's them.
Broncos I agree with, for Peyton yes, but also because I still don't think we know what kind of talent evaluator Elway is long term.

Damn I would love to have mine signed.
Agree with him about the state of the OL and Webster (depth there is old, needs Hosley to step up). But on the defensive line he lists Tuck and Kiwanuka, but they still have young guys like JPP and Damontre Moore. The TE situation is fine, Coach Pope's gone through Kevin Boss, Jake Ballard, and Marty Bennett. Curious to see how he'll do with Brandon Myers and last year's #4 round pick Adrien Robinson. It's not a dreadful spot to be in as Gil hints at.
won't be ready for week one.
McCourty is so much better at safety, but for some reason Belichick prefers to draft safeties when outside corner is our biggest weakness. Hopefully Talib can stay healthy for the whole season...
Gimme your address. There bout to be a fight in Toronto.

To be fair, why don't you try signing something with your foot?

Agreed. TE has been a revolving door for awhile and Pope always gets production out of the players they give him so it's less of a concern than he makes it out to be. There's young unproven guys on the defensive line (outside of JPP) but he isn't wrong about Tuck and Kiwi. Still, Reese has done an admirable job of getting guys lined up. We just drafted Moore. Adrian Tracy has been developing and Ojomo had injuries slow him down after a good pre-season last year. We'll see what they have if JPP does miss time early on after the back surgery.
In the end the offense line and cornerback are the two pain points right now that will need help. Hosely is about it from a young depth standpoint at corner. We'll have some turnover at Safety next year as well. Snee and Rolle won't be on the roster at 9 and 9.5 million next year. They'll either take a Webster like pay cut or get cut. Stevie Brown will be an FA and will want a contract if he plays like he did last year.
We'll see a lot of contract "fat" getting cut down after this season. Eli will likely get an extension next season to drop his cap number, too. 33 years young for Eli at that point!
Yep. Ketchikan. I'll go further north next time.
