Hey Peyton, hows that neck feeling buddy? Going to have a rookie watching your blindside eh?

New kid on block: When the players broke from their exercises before the morning practice, they were divided into their position groups. As the defensive linemen left one field for another, Antonio Smith yelled at Mario Williams, “Hey, Mario, where are you going?” Williams was with the linebackers, his new position in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ 3-4.

I think Chris Polian completely blew it in free agency. We keep fucking DIEM and get rid of CJ??? Get rid of Session???

I get the feeling it's going to be 2008 all over again. Rough out the gates and pray that Manning can work some magic as he gets more time in after an injury.

Diem agreed to take less money because he lost a step. CJ was going to be brought back but apparently wanted too much cash. For a serviceable lineman after drafting two OL players in the first two rounds, the Colts just couldn't do that. CJ was going to be LG maybe, and they couldn't afford to pay him that cash. Sucks but it happens. And did you see what Clint Session got from Jacksonville? Fucking STEPHEN TULLOCH got less for the Lions. I love me some Clint Session, but not $6M a year.

The Texans time is now. If they can't make it happen this year, they are total underachievers. The Titans lost Tulloch and Babin but got Ruud so that might be okay. Jags got a couple of good FAs with Posluszny and Landry, but MJD is not looking good and they have no WRs.

Seriously, the Colts best weapon is the fact that they get a number of skill players (Clark, Collie, Gonzo, Powers, etc.) back from injury that don't need a long pre-season to get acclimated to the team and playbook. I like the fact that their LBs are young and hungry. Angerer and Conner got plenty of playing time last year due to injuries. The DT position can't be much worse than it has been and they have gotten a couple of guys to come in to shake things up. I was most worried about the O Line and the secondary. I think Castonzo and Ijalana can step in quickly and will only improve as time goes by. I'm not bullish on them winning 12, but I am bullish on them winning 10.

Looking at our schedule, I'm thinking 13 wins at best. I'm gonna guess we go 11-5 and win the division. We'll be a 3 seed and play the Jets or Ravens/Steelers in the 1st round.

Prediction (AFC Playoffs)

1.) Patriots 13-3
2.) Steelers 12-4
3.) Colts 11-5
4.) Chargers 10-6
5.) Ravens 12-4
6.) Jest 11-5

I can't wait until the pre-season startssss.

Free Agency was fun at first but now it's dead as hell; kind of like the prostitute in FMT's closet.

Akers was really clutch in that Wild Card game, I'm sure he'll come up big for you guys FMT.

And what's great he's on the upside of his career like Jason Hanson!

"The five-time Pro Bowler's final game in Philadelphia, however, was quite forgettable. Akers missed two of his three FG attempts in the six-point playoff loss to the Packers. It later was revealed that Akers found out before the game that his daughter had a malignant tumor, perhaps causing his distraction."

Put a bullet in me if those are the AFC playoff teams. Ick! Tired of the same shit each and every year. I would be positively thrilled if at least 4 of those teams don't get to the dance in 2012.

How'd they do against the 9ers last year? I mean, I keep seeing old ass Donald Driver embarrassing the entire 9er defense on the NFL Networks top 5 catches of last year.

Manny Lawson lands in Cincy
Posted by Mike Florio on August 2, 2011, 12:26 AM EDT
Tennessee Titans v San Francisco 49ers Getty Images

Linebacker Manny Lawson, the 22nd overall pick in the 2006 draft, spent five years with the 49ers. He’ll now spend at least one with the Bengals.

Per a league source, the Bengals have agreed to terms with the unrestricted free agent. It’s a one-year deal worth $3 million.

Lawson started every game for San Francisco in each of the last two seasons. He has 14.5 career sacks.

Im gonna sound like a homer but I believe Mannings recovery from neck surgery is worse than the Colts are letting on. Since he basically IS the Colts he will rush back for week 1 with a rookie tackle watching his blindside, not a great recipe for success.

Gotta look after my former bro's! I said it when the 9ers signed him, Akers can still play. It was just a unique combination of things that all happened on the same year which led to his departure from Philly

Fuck Trent Baalke, goddamnit.

There are no excuses for not signing our own players for this low amount of money. God this last week has been depressing as fuck. I'm ready to say we've had the worst FA of any team.

Fact that it was the Bengals makes it worse. Like Brown just wants to say "See I spend. Look at the NIners, cheap bastards!'

Manning could QB a team to the playoffs carrying his head under his left arm like the headless horseman. If you are counting on a neck injury getting you past the Colts then it's already over for the Texans.

Counting on a defense that cant stop the run(indy) and a much improved Texans D to do that. So your ok with your franchise player coming off a second neck surgery to be protected by potentially 2 rookie tackles?

And I didnt want to come off as a homer....

He isnt my franchise player. But I have seen enough of Manning in the regular season to know what he is capable of, and enough of the Texans to know what they are capable of, and enough of the Texans fans to know where we are in the cycle. This is the optimism stage.
