I don't see how they win the division with that defense, it's absolutely terrible.
I think they got a good chance to start 5-1 by then their defense will be at least back to full strength I believe, it all depends on the offense though and if some players can step up
 
 
@RapSheet

The #Patriots are trading for #Packers DE Jerel Worthy, source says. Former 2nd round pick. Late-round pick going back


really? like marcus said, thumbs up if he contributes. this got me semi worried. maybe will smith isn't panning out? i dunno man. could just be a depth thing. i guess wait and 8o


total depth move IMO...if he's getting serious reps, it's likely that something has gone wrong considering the bodies we have on the defensive line already.
 
Claiborne probably figures he might as well look decent during camp since he's gonna look terrible to start the season

49ers, rams, seahawks and saints in the first 6 weeks. do i have dyslexia or did i read someone predict that they could go 5-1??
 
what was all that noise a year or so ago about the new stadium in LA? looked ridiculously awesome. was it just noise though or actually in the works?

San Fran D I'm interested to see, I do believe they're offense will stand tall, just the D I'm worried about

Titans is cake

Rams game could go either way, Demarco Murray has eaten up that run D in the past two meetings but this year with an improved Rams D I'm taking that game as a close win

Saints game gonna be an L, Brees will EAT on that depleted secondary

Texans (Ryan Fitzpatrick), well he'll make the defense look better

Mike Zimmer should have Vikings defense playing fast and getting stops. IF Zimmer fix defense Vikings will be a pretty good football team.

Sure, but their defense was among the very worst in the league last year. It's going to take more than one year to fix it.

Not really. sometimes scheme has alot to do with it. Besides its been times before where teams defense has improved after having a bad defense. See Saints before Rob Ryan got there.
 
As much it's great to make fun of Romo for his failures; he is not the problem in Dallas

I feel for the dude sometimes
 
It's easy to feel bad at times for Romo but the flip side is he's in his eleventh season and has won a grand total of one playoff game.

To put that in perspective, other veteran "second tier" quarterbacks have:

Phil Rivers - 4 wins
Eli Manning - 8 wins
Joe Flacco - 9 wins
Ben Roethlisberger - 10 wins

It's a team sport and sometimes it ain't fair.....but we know the rule is you get respect when you win. Carson Palmer has been smoked almost his whole career (0 playoff wins), Jay Cutler has (1 win), Matt Schaub has (1 win), and Alex Smith has (1 win).

If the QBs you name played in dallas. They would get the same critizicism as Romo prolly even worst.

OK......and? :lol No one feels sorry for any player playing in any market -- it's the hand you are dealt. Would Tony instead rather be in Jacksonville the last decade? Detroit? Oakland?

He gets heat because that's the way it works and yes "America's Team" winning one playoff game since 1996 is going to get eaten up. The QB takes the hits just like he is given all praise if they win.
