First Stewart now Kalil

I definitely expect Tampa Bay to be better and New Orleans to be a lot better. It remains to be seen about Atlanta.

 

I'd agree about New Orleans but Tampa I'm not so sure. Freeman runs hot and cold and their defense needs young Cbs and who knows about the Bowers situation

 

Freeman will always hold Tampa back, and Rob Ryan sucks dick. I admit that it might not matter much with New Orleans. Plus we've got Shula calling plays now.

I just look at last year, and had we not stolen defeat from the jaws of victory in two NFC south games, you're looking at 5-1 in the division. And 9-7 overall. Don't fuck up the Chicago game and you're 10-6. Literally three plays kept us from a 10 win season. Shit wasn't that far away.

Unfortunately I don't think we've gotten better, yet anyways, so perhaps I'm just rambling like a delusional fucking jackass.

 

Freeman is basically Cam without the rushing, they have a better head coach, and they have cap space. As for Rob Ryan, he isn't great but you can't get help but be better than the worst defense in NFL history.

 

Lets also remember gamble is on his way out

 

It's not hopeless, I guess is where I'm going. I have no logical reason to believe in this team, but I sort of do this year. Just one of those feelings I get sometimes.

 

I think we can compete with this roster.

I like our defense - I like the leadership there.

I like our young quarterback. I like our o-line. I like the running backs and receivers.

I dont like our special teams.

I'm not sure we can compete with this coach, though.

 

I think we'll be in better shape on offense in general this year for a few reasons.

I am not sure about Tampa, but think they will be dangerous on offense if that OL stays healthy. Defense, I don't know. The Bowers situation is bad news for them.

Saints, I don't think will be what they were pre '12 Payton or no Payton. At least this year. Their cap situation isn't great, they lost picks and players and may lose more players. And they're revamping their defensive scheme, seems like there should be some pain involved there.

Atl, going to be strong again but we can compete with them, if we tighten the roster up.

 

I feel your pain, dont forget getting jobbed by the refs against Dallas and the lame duck throw Cam made to win the game against Seattle.

Tampa were like the anti-Panthers. Started strong and then it all kinda fell apart. Even rumors of players complaining about Schiano, so I think the jury is still out on him.

Even weirder that they're letting Bennett and Miller walk.

I expect Peyton to make a huge difference in NO, but the D is still a bit of a mess.

Im glad were finally competing with ATL again, we almost sweeped them but every year is unique. Who knows what will happen. I certaintly didnt think the divisional games would have played out like they did last year.

 

Carolina will be competitive in the games themselves, but do you honestly think there is the slightest chance in hell of going 10-6?
