The stadium is really nice, people were friendly, and it took me less than 15 minutes to get out of the city after I walked to my car. And I left at the end of the game along with everyone else. Relative to the unmitigated shithole that is FedEx Field it's like night and day.

A few years ago I was chatting with my grandmother, and we talked about football teams. She's a huge Ravens fan, and I mentioned I was a Redskins fan. She just looked at me with the weirdest look and flat out said "WHY?" I didn't have an answer for her.

The only good thing I can say about the Bucs is they didn't gently caress themselves over getting Mariota. Also that Steelers win was pretty funny. Good gravy everything on offense but the receiver position is a mess. If they can get something that resembles an offensive line and Mariota turns out well, the offense can be serviceable under new coordination. My expectation is 5-11 after starting 3-2 and having a massive mid-season collapse.

There was a year where Byron Leftwich started then it went Josh Johnson then Freeman. Before that it was pretty much Jeff Garcia/Brian Griese. Sprinkle in Tim Rattay, Luke McCown, Chris Simms and Bruce Gradkowski for a couple years... Brad Johnson/Shaun King and Trent Dilfer for years before that and I got nothing before that off the top of my head. Testaverde but I'm sure there was some guys between him and Dilfter. So yeah not a WHOLE lot but god drat that's a rough list.

If you go a whole season without getting a WR a TD, it's not 100% on them. Last time was 1964. That's ~3 years before the Super Bowl era. That embarrassment's on the organization as a whole. sweet thursday fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Dec 30, 2014 |

Chargers offseason priorities: 1. Extend Philip Rivers and Eric Weddle. Their current deals expire in 2015. 2. Sign King Dunlap to a multi year deal 3. Sign Brandon Flowers and Eddie Royal 4. Bring in some capable guards/centers in free agency. We need guys who can protect Rivers now, we can't start three rookies and let them grow into it. Rivers will die if that happens. 5. Bring in another WR, someone with some speed, be it through free agency or the draft. 6. Draft OL and DL. While we need to bring in free agents that can protect Rivers, we still need to be concerned about the future. We need guards and a center, along with some DEs and DTs. Corey Liuget is the only for-sure starter in 2015. 7. SS and OLB are a secondary priority in the draft/free agency

He had a couple of 1100 yard years, one with a lot of TDs, then tanked with the rest of the team in 2012. Signed a big contract and has sucked since then. Todd Haley has a lot of faults but I do think he mostly does a good job with wide receivers, he was the coach for most of those two good years.

Man I don't know, he still does some cool stuff now and then but it's really rare and he seems to have trouble getting open. Part of that could be because there aren't any other wide receivers worth covering on the Chiefs, but Kelce is pretty good out of the tight end spot and we've seen that work here before. I'd probably be cautiously optimistic about signing him if my team had a

The Chiefs offense was 16th in scoring, exactly average. They did do stuff with passing, its just that Alex can't throw great outside the hashes because it requires more strength

The Texans went 9-7 with a menagerie of poo poo at QB. This is good They go from a 4th place schedule (Bills and Raiders) to a 2nd place schedule (Bengals and Chiefs) which is a pretty lateral move considering they played the Bengals this year anyway. Go from playing AFCN and NFCN to AFCE and NFSC. So the schedule looks a little easier. A lot depends on a) how much the division/Bortles improves and b)if they can get anything out of their upcoming draft/Clowney/the rest of the 2014 non-contributors I think there's a real chance at being a 10+ win team, maybe better depending on how the QB situation ends up Andre Johnson and Jonathan Joseph probably get cut if they don't restructure, I have no doubt Kareem Jackson is back either way There aren't any other really significant free agents

texans are a cool team and i hope they figure out their qb situation and sign back a cheap old aj80 on a discount and get great because they're fun as poo poo to watch on defense and only a mediocre qb away from being rad hawks exceeded expectations and locked down every major player minus russ (which will happen) and i hope we either grab diamonds out of the draft at OL/WR or through some limited FA signings to keep our window open a few more years but there is no way i can say i'm anything but ecstatic about the team's direction and how well our front office is running things. it's amazing being able to say that after so many decades of ineptitude at everything seattle as a city does (eg. bertha, mariners, sonics, getting an nhl team, loving rent and parking)

Another Dolphins 8-8 season but I'm confident that streak is going to end next year. I'm confident because there is no way the coming poo poo show of a lame duck coach who can't control his team isn't going to poo poo the bed and land in the basement. On the bright side that might give the eventual new coach and general manager a high draft pick to work with.

All in all, like the progress from the Vikings this year. Injuries to the line + ineffectiveness on the left side didnt help but Teddy really made the best of it. Would like to see OL and a WR in the draft because Kalil has gone off the deep end, Johnson is still loving awful and Jennings is getting old and expensive, and who knows if Patterson can learn to run a route. Patterson has so much raw potential bit the knocks on him in the draft are coming true.

euphronius posted:I am the opposite. I thought it was a fun year and losing Foles right the O line got healthy was rough. But it was a fun year and they played to their talent level I think. This is a good point. It's really hard to get mad at the team for going 10-6 just like last year when the schedule was way more punishing. The reason this year didn't result in the playoffs was the rest of the NFC just being a bit better. Even if we win the Skins game we're still on the outside looking in because all our losses were in the NFC. It's a tough break but you can't do much about it. Plus we had the most turnovers in the league and still broke the franchise record for points scored. Imagine what we'd do if we weren't turning the ball over 4 times a game. Next year's schedule looks like it's about as hard as this year's or maybe a bit easier so we'll see what happens. I think with the right pieces on defense and a healthy Foles we can go 13-3 or better. SunshineDanceParty posted:Eh Kelce is the best target on the team by far. Andy always has loved his tight ends. I only watched half of one Chiefs game this year so I can't tell but it seems like he isn't running the sort of crazy passing offense he did in Philly. It's a lot more TE passes and screens and what not like Andy circa 2003. axeil fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Dec 30, 2014 |
