With the new rookie cap i don't think they will give one up, when you can sign 2 number 1 for nothing....

I agree, the Packers are still top tier contenders. The Vikings totally got worse. Their D-line lost 2 key factors. And they lost Sidney Rice. Their only receiving target is Migraines mcgee and Mcribb is Mcribb. The Bears signed RW11 (hahahahahaha) and Marion Barber and their defense isn't getting any younger.
We sweep the bears and Viqueens and split with the Pack. Book it

If anyone has some openings on a fantasy team send me a PM. I'm just interested in playing for fun, I do money leagues with close friends.

Naw it's been bad. I don't think we got a LOT worse, but seeing how many balls that bounced our way last year aren't going to bounce the same way, it will seem like we got a lot worse.
On paper we'll likely go from an 11 win team to a 7-8 win team, but we played like an 8-9 win team last year.
Of course, the season is played for a reason, though.

I'm not saying their great, but if you watched there were quite a few games that if Favre didn't have his head up his ass he could've easily moved the ball... not to mention Adrian Peterson, who a few years ago lead his team to the playoffs with T-jack back there( they weren't a great team, but you get it)

Eh, I'd say that's a wash.eznark said:
The Vikes completely self-destructed last year after that first Packer loss, so it's hard to evaluate how good/bad they really were. They could go .500 this year if it comes together right.msdstc said:
That said, I'm pretty sure they're going to suck.

uh, what weapons do the vikings have on offense? they have adrian peterson and percy harvin. adrian peterson is overrated and percy harvin always has headaches. vikings have a better defense than the skins but their offense isn't that much better
fuck the bears organization and jerry angelo in particular for not keeping olin kreutz. guy was the toughest guy to wear the navy blue and orange in the past 20 years, was the glue in the locker room, and could still play 1 or 2 seasons. olin was 1 game away for breaking the chicago bears record for consecutive games played at 183 (payton 184). i'm fed up with the garbage at the top of this organization.

If Cromartie wants too money much, fuck it. We'll ride with that Kyle Wilson future.Soroc said:

I like the Okoye signing, and im not sure what the numbers were on the williams signing but as long as we got him cheap it was a decent low risk pick up as well. the same goes for Vernon Gholston.
We didn't do anything bad (except for not resigning Kreutz. dumb fuckers give him the 500,00 he fucking wants and have one more year of stability if nothing else jesus) but the signing we did make were like i said, low risk with a small small chance that one of the four guys does something good (gholsten, barber, williams, and okoye)
Oh yeah and if they don't resign Matt Forte long term I am going to flip a shit. he could have been like desean jackson and held out, but no he's a quality stand up guy who makes less than his backups do and who comes to camp works hard and gets he job done. resign him or else!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

OK, how I missed what happened to the Vikings is beyond me. I didn't think they lost that many players in FA. Sorry--my mom got in a huge car accident last night. My mind isn't exactly focused right now.
I still think Jenkins and McNabb are decent and McNabb is probably better than T-Jack. Still, definitely not "a little better" like I said earlier.
Here's some Glazer tweets about the Bears:
It appears the Bears franchise is imploding and they haven't played preseason game #1 yet.

teams who aren't the jets would love for kyle wilson to start for the jets.
in other news:
translation: i would rather retire than play for the 49ers.
CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Hopefully these trade calls being made are not for cap room and are to get Asante instead. If Cro wants a ridiculous amount of money, especially after being ignored by virtually every team then fuck him.

Hopefully Cromartie has too much pride and decides to go play for the NFC West or somewhere

Oh, most definitely but it is kinda shitty when you gain that leverage from no one giving to shits about you for like 3 days. haha

Rewatched umm Vikings at GB I think and forget what else, but Zombo looked great. He was good stopping the run and keeping contain.TheLegendary said:
I think that's something the D needs to work hard on - stopping the run.
Walden's probably the better blitzer though.

Lions being the second best team in their division is far from delusional. 9 wins, maybe 10, is a real possibility.
If Fairley keeps his head in the game, he'll be a beast. So far it sounds like he's tagging behind Suh, learning everything he can. I hope that continues. Even if he doesn't reach his potential, playing beside Suh will make him look better.

I'm going to stick with "It's the lions" until they prove otherwise. All this hype makes me believe they are going to be the texans for the next 10 years instead of being the worst team in the league.
ajf009 said:
Milloy was the first big "cut them a year earlier than you really need to" Belicheat move. It infuriated the players and there were questions of players willingness to play for him.
They got destroyed by the Bills in week 1 and everyone was sure the team was tanking to get the Cheat fired. We all know how the rest played out.

You know I actually trust the bears on this move. It has pissed all the players off but they have Tice, I think he let them know they shouldn't stick with Olin. I trust Tice, he fixed up the Oline the best he could and probably saw something with him and told the font office not to push hard to get him back.
IN TICE WE TRUST, BOAT TRIP

All the beat writers are raving about Cobb's quickness. This was my biggest wish out of the draft; I wanted a 1st or 2nd round WR who could bring some speed to our receiving corp. Jennings is "smart" fast...he's not an outright burner...and Jones/Nelson/Driver/Finley certainly aren't. Who knows if the rest pans out with Cobb, but it seems he's got the speed aspect down. Definitely could add yet another dynamic to our offense.

Fair enough...good point old man. But speed is probably one of the only things that actually is even worth discussing with practices in shorts.
Edit: By the way how is Crabtree doing?
