Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

p sure he was kidding but I do think KC lost some important pieces. but still not enough to tank. SD is middle of the pack but they have some really nice pieces, my only worry about Denver is that they will implode like the eagles did in 10 or whenever the had "the dream team".

In post 34, Dr Pants wrote:I think they'll end up second in the NFC South to the Saints.

:eek:

I could see them finish last 'cause I think both the Saints and the Falcons are better and I feel pretty optimistic about TB

In post 37, Dr Pants wrote:Nah, the falcons have no D, and no running game. TB is allllll hype, I think every position group they have is worse than the Panthers.

Now MAAAYBEE Jackson is all out of gas but I think with a healthy Jones and White they can create some running opportunities. Their o-line was also terrible last year.

Also, TB has better wideouts and backs. Cam is the better QB but I don't think TB has such horrible quarterbacking that it negatively affect them. also Verner is a really good CB.

Read an article today that said that the Rams season was over without Bradford. Don't really think that.

Yes, I've been a seattle fan my whole life. Rams are better than you think.


They probably are, but the Cards, 49ers and Hawks are all better than the Rams.

cards and hawks yea but the 49ers offense hasn't been great in preseason (which prob means very little) but several of the defense stars are out so....

I don't condone Domestic Violence but I really feel like this Ray Rice thing is getting blown way out of proportion.

I think Norv Turner is just awful. Like I felt the Vikes were running the ball well but then they started passing it for F all reason.

well, call me crazy but I think running the ball does work better when your QB can't pass.

In post 426, Rob14 wrote:you should run the ball more if you have an unusually good QB and pass the ball more if you have an unusually good RB

'cause defenses would stack the box with a good rb and play more pass defense against a good qb?

eh. I think balance is the best way to go but playing to the defenses weakness also seems the best.
