The NFL combine is coming up. T.O. is a free agent. Most importantly, the Atlanta Falcons won their draft coin toss and will pick 19th overall.

2010...because who needs a salary cap?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1 on:** February 28, 2010, 11:16:30 PM »

I haven't been watching the news closely about this upcoming season but is there not going to be a salary cap?

If this is the case than basically every player will be up for grabs and everybody basically can make All-Star teams.

That's bullshit. That's one of the main reason I like the NFL. Otherwise it'll become like faggy Pro Baseball.

I watched baseball until the late 90's when the Yankees started winning every year. Then once the Yankees' farm system dried up, they started flat out buying teams, and then Boston started buying teams as well, and then I stopped watching the sport entirely.

In terms of football, good to see Atlanta signing Dunta (pronounced Dontay) Robinson. Their secondary was AWFUL last year. I'm not sure who they're going after in the draft, but they really need a DE who will actually do something (Jamal Anderson is a total bust). Safety should be OK with Moore coming back from injury. and they'll have Peria Jerry back at DT as well. But John Abraham suddenly looks old and they have no pass rush.

I never really watched much football. I am a baseball person, lived in Boston when I was little.

You go around the field and there is a lot more homegrown talent in the Red Sox starting lineup than the Yankees. And this years off-season for the Red Sox was filled with a lot of free agent stop gaps for the prospects to catch up.

Football season ended a month ago and I already can't wait for another season. I was disappointed because I am a Colts fan, so as they say better luck next year. The Ravens have improved their offense with Anquan Boldin and Stallworth. The Jets improved their defense with Cromartie, now the top defense just got better. Colts resigned Brackett, and the Chargers decided to keep Sproles for another year. The Saints are losing several to free agency, but they still will be very tough to beat. I read this morning Tebow is working out for Seattle and Buffalo, should be interesting. The Bears should be tougher this year too with their pickups. Minnesota will be solid, and even more solid with Favre, if he returns again. Should be another exciting year.

I'm already a fan of the new Holmgren regime in Cleveland since he did the obvious, but important, thing in locking up Josh Cribbs, the best special teams player to ever play the game.

D_Average · « **Reply #7 on:** March 08, 2010, 11:05:49 PM »

Yeah, the Baseball no salary cap has indeed ruined the game for me too. The NFL's Competition Committee has done wonders for the league over the years, and the MLB and even NBA would be wise to make similar adjustments to their leagues.

Can't wait for the new season though. The Bears pretty much have another trip to the Super Bowl locked down with the signings of Peppers, Taylor, and Manumaleuna. Yaaaa Baby!!!!!

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #8 on:** March 08, 2010, 11:39:12 PM »

The Packers lost Aaron Kampman, and I still think they're going to be great next year. Kampman's a great player, but he was just lost in the Packers' new 3-4 defense.

The NFC North should be a lot of fun next year, with or without that purple-hearted son of a bitch. I don't think the Bears bought themselves a Super Bowl, but I think they're buying themselves some competitiveness, especially since they've been hovering around mediocrity since they made the Super Bowl.

And the Lions will still suck...

So the thing that I hear could really screw up the league this year and years to come is the fact that they've removed revenue sharing from the NFL. Same thing they did with baseball that screwed it over. Teams with more income start to buy teams and players and the sport goes to sh*t. I think the removal of salary caps is something that goes along with it, but it's really a terrible thing. I think that's why the Bills started playing games in Toronto to try and lessen the blow of that. Wasn't there some debacle this year when the commissioner started talking about it and got shut up real quick because it was supposed to be an under-the-table deal that no one would know about before they implemented it?

Lombardi trophy confirmed

I take back every nice thing I said about Holmgren if he's actually considering bringing in Jake Delhomme, as he is rumored to be.

D_Average · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2010, 03:31:06 PM »

Jake Delhomme. LOL.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2010, 11:55:29 PM »

In what may be a new record for me, Holmgren's had the job for less than two months and I'm already calling for his head.

D_Average · « **Reply #15 on:** April 15, 2010, 09:19:22 PM »

Is this Ben Worthlessburger driving anyone else nuts? All the talk is he must be suspended. For what? For rape? If so, that's a light punishment, and utterly pathetic. Or are they punishing him for giving the appearance of rape? Well, that just doesn't make sense. Anyone can be accused of rape. If I was Rooney, the owner of the Steelers I'd ship his a$$ out. The Steelers are arguably the best franchise in NFL history with the most Lombardi trophies, and that is bigger than Ben. The dude is a sleezeball and the evidence from the last two years points to him abusing women.

One thing I do look forward to, you know some linebackers are going to completely drill this dude once the season starts. Perhaps then, justice will be served.

On a lighter note. I'm so happy for Brandon Marshall. He is a true superstar, and I can't wait to watch him play with Miami. Josh McDaniels really screwed him over and now he finally gets the money and team he deserves. Its just a shame the Bears couldn't reunite him with Cutler.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 16, 2010, 12:38:31 AM »

Roethlisberger is a douche, plain and simple.

Falcons are nice and quiet these days. I love it. No Neon Deion, no Jerry Glanville, none of that garbage. Just a War Room that was ranked 6th overall in the league by ESPN.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #17 on:** April 16, 2010, 12:46:47 AM »

I can't wait to see how the Browns manage to blow the draft. They have eleven picks, so you'd think they'd have to take somebody worthwhile, if only by accident, but I have complete faith that they will fail massively, like they always do.

I'm already pissed at them for getting rid of Quinn without giving him a real chance (12 starts is not nearly enough of a chance for him to prove himself) and for a has-been (Delhomme) and a never-will-be (Seneca Wallace), but I will be exponentially more pissed if they turn around and take Clausen, another Charlie Weis Notre Dame QB.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2010, 01:00:31 AM »

Yeah, I feel like Quinn never got a chance to prove that he could do anything. I don't feel that he was shipped out for any particularly reason aside from "we didn't draft him and he wasn't 'our guy', and we wanted 'our guy'".

ShyGuy · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2010, 02:33:05 AM »

You are all taking a week off for this? seriously?

D_Average · « **Reply #20 on:** April 26, 2010, 07:56:49 PM »

How did everyone feel about their teams draft? I'd give the Bears a 3/10. Our first pick was a guy to replace the great Alex Brown that we just let go, and then we took some QB when we've already got 3, one of them being the best ever, and our back up from CO, Caleb Haney can hold his own. What a waste. We should have stocked our O line.

As for my local team the Broncos. I'm happy and annoyed they took Tebow. He gets on my nerves, and I think he'll be a bust, but it'll at least make the year interesting considering they got rid of all their best players.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #21 on:** April 26, 2010, 09:05:50 PM »

The Browns got the QB I wanted them to get, and as a complete steal at 21st in the third round. They really improved the secondary with a corner in the first round and a safety in the second, and improved an already pretty good O line. I think Holmgren did pretty well.

I concur

I was surprised that Bulaga fell all they way to 23, but I'm glad the Packers picked him up. Offensive line is a big priority for the Pack. Especially, at the tackle position where Clifton and Tauscher getting up there in age.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2010, 03:47:52 PM »

Well my Eagles have traded McNabb over to Washington.
Vick is still there and Kevin Kolb is there also they got a rookie QB in the draft. So it looks like Eagles are going young this year. We shall see what comes of this.
