Preseason cranks up tomorrow and that means we're less than a month from games that count.

This is the best time of year.

Yeah as soon as I found out he was Carolina's OC I wanted him in silver and blue. He also OC'ed those awesome Miami teams early last decade it looks like. Of course anyone could call plays for those ridiculously stacked offenses.

You know what happened the last time a Miami coach was in Dallas?:mark:

Re: NFL Thread: Week 1 - Glorious

kobra do you think the Skins can win in the Superdome?
Since I'm a huge fan I want to say yes but the Saints have a lot to prove and the bounty scandal may motivate the team just like Spygate did for the Patriots. It's hard to say.

Dallas absolutely will win the East. Eagles' dream team will fall apart as usual, Archie III will go through growing pains, and the Giants will have a hangover year.
The Cowboys have to worry about Witten not being 100%, a below average O-Line, a defense that's been slipping over the last couple of years, and receivers who either are injury prone or total idiots off the field. They're not winning the East. The Cowboys always fold under pressure (especially Romo) and Jerry Jones telling the team that they're running out of time won't help them.

Re: NFL Thread: Week 1 - Glorious

Claiborne played pretty well in his first game. He was on Nicks mostly and did a good job. Carr seems to be massive upgrade as well at CB. I'm not drinking the Kool Aid just yet since it's only been one game, and Dallas has been really bad in the secondary these past few years, but the Cowboys defense could be vastly improved.

The major problem seems to be the offensive line. Murray found little daylight; that 48 yarder was all Murray. I will say if Murray goes down, this team is in deep shit offensively. Murray is a huge difference maker for Dallas. Felix Jones can't do it. Maybe Tanner can, but he's totally unknown.

As for WASH at NO, I like Griffin a ton despite hating the Skins. Even with that loud as hell crowd he's got a shot. It's not like he hasn't played before loud crowds before in Norman and Austin and Lubbock and College Station. Saints offense is too much though. Since I think it'll be high scoring it'll end up 17-14 with Hartley hitting a game winner.


You can't accurately judge anything involving the FUTURE 100%. No need to state the obvious. So you think he's a HoF'er. Can't say I disagree. He'd have to fall of a cliff statistically at this point and that's probably not happening.

Players suspended for their roles in the Saints' 2009-2011 Bounty Scandal have had their bans overturned on appeal.

Yup. Vilma is back and will play Sunday.

EDIT: It seems Vilma's is a little more complicated. Everyone else suspended can play, but it seems Vilma will only get payed.

EDIT@: Ok, Vilma is physically allowed to play, but he's been away from the team longer than Will Smith, so Vilma may not be in the shape to play.

I read Harrison might not play for Pittsburgh and Arian Foster is a game time decision all of the sudden. Lynch looks to be a game time decision as well. Not sure about Harrison, but Foster's knee issue happened out of the blue. I don't see why the Texans would make this up to fuck with Miami either. Foster or Tate are gonna run all over them regardless.

Foster needs to fight the NFL to have them start the season a week later. 2 years in a row he could miss the opener.

This is just hilarious, what the Hell is Goodell going to do now with all the bans overturned? Guy's all about ego & image, so he's going to have to do something to save face.

Re: NFL Thread: Week 1 - Glorious

From Albert Breer: The Saints suspension were vacated unanimously by board of appeals, kicked back to the commissioner. Goodell retains the power to suspend players if -- and only if -- he proves there was an intent to injure.

Re: NFL Thread: Week 1 - Glorious

Falcons - Chiefs could end up being the game of the week. Both teams match up pretty well.
I read the Chiefs may be missing up to 6 starters on defense. Not sure what makes that game of the week material.
Let's be real now. Game of the week is Green Bay vs San Francisco and it's not even close. I don't particularly like either Green Bay or San Francisco, but they are two top teams that win playoff games and Super Bowls and were 1 and 2 in the NFC last year.
