    Best case scenario for the Redskins this year is 6-10 lol. I don't understand the Kirk Cousins move. They're keeping RG3 on the roster. Why not give him one last chance and if he fails start over and draft a new QB next year.

    I say Minnesota goes 10-6, most likely 2nd in their division, depending on what Detroit does. Bridgewater is the real deal and Peterson is gonna be back with a chip on his shoulder, playing harder than ever.

    By the way after seeing how good Bradford was in the preseason I'm expecting a huge season from the Eagles. I say 11-12 wins, a division title, and a loss in the NFC Championship game, just like the good old days.

    Honestly depends on the OL. Left side is solid but right side is soft af. If OL can find a way to gel and buy some time offense should be fine. Defense is all about our young guys. Losing Aldon was the biggest blow to this team out of the whole offseason. And really the only one that can't be replaced with what they have on the current roster.

    No worse than 6-10 and 8-8 isn't unrealistic for this squad. Best case is 10-6 but for that to happen our young defenseive guys like Lynch, Harold, Armstead, have to surprise and make an impact AND the OL has to learn to block.

    YES EXACTLY, i couldn't agree more. pass rushers, especially ones who are good as aldon, are sooooooooooooooo valuable. it's one of the most important things a football team needs. a guy who can get after the QB.

    @Arch Dogg ....that's what I was getting at in my comment to you about Kam Chancellor. yeah, he's really good, but he plays a position that doesn't have a big impact on the game.

    the most important positions in football:

    QB
    A pass rusher (whether it be a outside LB or DE)
    left tackle to protect the most important guy
    Cornerback

    I think Cowboys go 10-6 or 11-5 this year which should be enough for at least a playoff birth whether that be a wild card or the division title. Offense is going to be great again, Romo is the healthiest he's been in the past 2 years & is continuing to age like a fine wine, O Line is coming back in tact & we added quality depth with the addition of La'el Collins. Obviously Dez is coming back but I'm really excited to see what Terrance Williams can do this year, coaches have said he's really improved in the off season. Defensively we got better. We've improved the D Line greatly adding Greg Hardy & drafting Randy Gregory. Not to mention returning players like 2nd year player Demarcus Lawrence who coaches have also said has improved significantly this off season, Tyron Crawford who had a break out year last season, Jeremey Mincy who lead the team in sacks & QB pressures last season, Cowboys are really going to be able to get after the QB this season. Then we have Sean Lee coming back of course, Rolando McClain who was arguably our best defensive player last year coming back. We drafted Byron Jones who adds depth that we need in the secondary, he can play corner or safety. This defense has the potential to actually be a respectable defense this year & that's what I'm most excited about. Cowboys haven't had a respectable defense since like 09.

    Looking more and more like it's going to be a 2 horse race in the NFC East again.

    Anyway here's my season predictions:

    AFC North: Steelers (11-5)
    AFC East: Patriots (12-4)
    AFC South: Colts (12-4)
    AFC West: Broncos (11-5)
    WC1: Ravens (10-6)
    WC2: Chiefs (10-6)

    AFC Championship: Steelers over Patriots

    NFC North: Packers (11-5)
    NFC East: Eagles (12-4)
    NFC South: Saints (10-6)
    NFC West: Seahawks (13-3)
    WC1: Cowboys (11-5)
    WC2: Cardinals (10-6)

    NFC Championship: Seahawks over Eagles

    SUPERBOWL: Seahawks over Steelers

    I wouldn't say that so quickly. While the Giants are already dealing with a s--- ton of injuries both offensively & defensively, I would not be surprised to see them get it together torwards the end of the season & make a run. That's essentially what they did last year but they started off so badly that their end of the year run was kind of pointless.

    I pretty much agree with all of this. Except I think it will be Broncos or Patriots in the Super Bowl for the AFC.

    NFC East will definitely be a two horse race. The Redskins will be drafting in the Top 10. The Giants will be a little better with Cruz and Beckham for the entire season but they still have a little way to go before they're contenders again.

    I wouldn't count the Giants out completely. They are always coming out of nowhere

    From everything I've heard about the Steelers, they are supposed to struggle to make the playoffs. We'll see if they can keep it close against the Pats Thursday, Gillette is gonna be rocking.

    They always get hot at the right time and go on late season runs. They turned two late season runs into Super Bowl championships. No way in h--- were they the best team in the league in 2007 or 11. Just got hot at the right time. And when Eli gets hot late in the season he is f---ing ON. So yea, Giants are always a wild card.

    Another fact that pisses me off more about the Tebow release: the roster limit is 53 players... they kept 52. :dno:

    Yeah with the division they are in I could see it being tough for them to even get in, but if they do that would mean they battled and are talented enough to make a run to the Bowl. That and the AFC is pretty down this year. Broncos come down to Peyton's possibly shot arm, the Patriots own the Colts, and the Steelers have the firepower to score a ton on a weakened Pats secondary. That's not to say the Steelers don't have questions either, because they most definitely do.

    Cowboys traded a 7th round conditional pick in 2016 to the Seahawks for Christine Michael RB, was a 2nd round pick in 2013. Cowboys stay making great deals this off season.

    Overall this looks really good....but even with how talented the Seahawks roster is....I'll be surprised if they make 3 STRAIGHT Super Bowl appearances

    Eagles picked up undrafted QB Stephen Morris.



    Heard about this kid, kind of wanted the Cowboys to sign him to their practice squad. @Arch Dogg there's your 3rd QB.

    Yeah I mean, he's a raw QB prospect lol didn't want him on the roster, just thought he was talented enough to maybe develop into something in the future.
