As long as LT gets me 3 rushing tds and 1 receving td, 150+yds..I couldn't care less.

2006 was a long time ago, man, don't count on it.

The Colts had better shake that rust off or Peterson will rape them. And I am not looking forward to watching the Williams Bros. and Jared Allen knock our makeshift offensive line around. Deep down I feel like it's more than rust, it just seems like there's something wrong with them. Hopefully Peyton practices extra, Marvin stops going over the middle, and our o-line magically figures out how to block. Oh and if our DTs could gain about 50 lbs. each it'd be nice.

pats should still win 11-12 games so it depends on what the jets can do. the bills are improved but i don't see them as a real threat. forget miami.

also, i don't know what belichick sees in cassell but it must be something for him to keep him so long.

i do think the steelers are going to be a force if they stay healthy, though it looks like big ben is still banged up.

Easiest schedule based on how things turned out last season...as we can see already from week 1's games, this season is shaping up to be significantly different.

Also, the one factor keeping the the rest of the AFC East's schedule from being as easy as the Pats' is the fact that they had to play the Pats...now that the Pats are obviously taken down a notch due to the unfortunate injury to Brady, their schedules effectively became just as 'easy' as the Patriots'.

However if the Browns can go 10-6 thanks to an easy schedule then so can the Pats. A wild card or even the division could still possibly be up for grabs but it all comes down to whether or not Cassell can step up. My gut feeling is no. Bellichick isn't this flawless mastermind, not all of his moves are perfect...don't forget that Pats did go 9-7 and missed the playoffs the season following their first superbowl, and they weren't missing Brady then...

Before the season started, I instantly had the Bills @ Jags marked as a loss. With the injuries to Jacksonville combined with the promising play in all three stages of the game for the Bills, I think this will be one of the best games in week 2. I'm hoping for a win, but I think it can go either way.

As for the Patriots, I REALLY don't see the Patriots winning 12 games this year. With Brady, I had them going 6-0 in the East. Without Brady, I think 4-2 at best, and more likely 3-3.

That's true....but the thing is cassell is surrounded by some incredible talent in Moss, and their O-Line. Plus their defense is still pretty good, with the one of the best D-Lines in the league.

Royal was good because there was no one else to throw to. With the burger wrapper slipper coming back next week he'll come back to Earth.

Definitely needs to be a new thread each week. Chicago vs. Carolina should be intense.

The Bengals are absolutely embarrassing. Horrible offense, stupid play calling, and overall piss-poor job by the organization overall. I'll be surprised if they win 4 games this season, if that. :(

Oh Darren how we've waited for you here in Oakland. 89 yards on that drive in 3 plays, that was the best drive for the Raiders in 6 years.

talk about picking the wrong QB....I had to shoose between starting Dellohme and Eli Manning....

I had no idea Manning would throw over 250 yards with 3 TDs.

Dellohme has thrown 124 yds with 0 TDs.....

way to pick wrong....
