the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

no way, his rushing numbers will go UP with a shitty line, id bet on it

now that I think about it, if it weren't for Jason Avant, the Green Bay Packers dont win a Super Bowl

seriously, Green Bay annoys me though. Always bragging about how "their such a small town and everyone is all in with the Packers!"

ok? Philly is a large city and everyone is all in on the Eagles, what's the fuckin point?
 
get rid of revenue sharing and the Packers are hopelessly irrelevant

My Brian Westbrook jersey got Aaron Rodgers a new contract, the fuck?
 
I should start putting "Bluelight's ___" in front of my posts so I suddenly gain credibility

Fox didnt even show timeouts remaining on their scoreboard until like 5 years ago and employ Joe Buck iirc

what the fuck do they know

CBS is superior in every fashion, apologies to Erin Andrews but there's so many hot sports reporters anymore, she is old news

just get rid of Wisconsin entirely now that I think about it, fucking up our national health statistics

dont say that dude, shoot for the stars 11-5 imo

We have a pretty tough schedule this year. The tail end of our season is brutal, with 3 of the last 4 games being in Denver, Green bay, and in New England.

Under IDEAL conditions I could see them going 11-5, but that would include not losing Kiko Alonso for the season and EJ Manuel taking a huge leap this year. 14 years of not making the playoffs has taught me to temper my optimism. 9-7 and a wildcard is a step in the right direction for a team that hasn't had a season over .500 in the past 10 years.
 
Carlos Hyde looked good for the Niners last night. Rumor was that the Bills tried to trade up to grab him in the draft but the Niners got him first. Wish we would have nabbed him. That kid's going to be a beast.
 
yeah so they can be the first team to field 11 running backs on offense at the same time

it couldve been the new Wildcat
 
i think you'll find that the chargers back-up quarterback kellen clemens threw that particular pass.

god, you're an idiot.

He's a stud Im totally drafting him in fantasy this year
 
damn I dont even know how to feel right now. The score is irrelevant, anyone who watches football knows that about the preseason, but there's been a lot of ups and downs. on both sides of the ball. the Eagles are going to kill it on Special teams though, both in the return game and coverage. donnie jones is a solid punter, henery shouldnt have to make too many long fgs (eagles offense goes 20-20 well it's just the red zone which can be a problem because you lose a lot of space and that is the key for Chip Kelly).

Jalen Watkins (older brother of Sammy) made a pretty nice int, but also got beat a few times. Jordan Matthews basically is the new Jason Avant (same # too, 81) but also dropped a couple passes right to him (very un-Jason Avant-like). Josh Huff had a return td on his second try but looked utterly lost on the first try. Whether or not he figured it out after one snap remains to be seen. Mark Sanchez... looked....good? Yeah idk we'll see. Matt Barkely looked like Matt Barkely, still think he winds up in KC eventually. I think I saw Brandon Boykin like once the whole game on a punt early in the first quarter. He made the guy call a fair catch before the announcer could even comment on the punt. Darren Sproles fits right in, and Zach Ertz will wind up as one of the better receiving TE's by the end of the year imo (assuming Jimmy Graham is a WR).

the only thing that worries me this year is the pass rush. Jay Cutler had like 2-3 business days a snap to get rid of the ball when both teams' starters were in the game. our secondary is good at making plays on forced throws, but it is nearly impossible in the modern NFL to shut teams down with solid coverage. there is too much geared towards encouraging offense and the receivers are just too fast anymore. you need a pass rush to force errant throws that can be capitilized on by instinctive defenders but the Eagles just don't really have one. Marcus Smith could put this team over the top if he becomes a consistent playmaker, but he didnt even play DE until College and seem more like a good athlete who plays football rather than a football player. hopefully im wrong though, because im tired of seeing Brandon Graham at this point

NOT IN ORDER

pre season pack tonight.
 
the Redskins are going to be one of the worst teams in the league this year, so are the Cowboys.

I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone gives either of them the benefit of the doubt. The Cowboys defense is nothing wihtout Sean Lee and DeMarcus Ware last year. Neither of those players will be suiting up for the Cowboys this year

ths Redskins defense was historically bad last year. And they fixed it by.... signing DeSean Jackson??? how does a=b in this case? He won't even play a big role in their offense because he will either have a safety over the top or RG3 will not have enough time to let DeSean use his speed to create distance from the CB. Sure, he'll be able to catch some quick routes like he did in Philly, but Riley Cooper and Jason Avant won't be there to give him space to run this year.

The Giants never had a good offense, they won both Super Bowls because of their pass rush and key catches by David Tyree and Mario Manningham. Guess what? The pass rush is gone and Eli is never going to be Peyton. Anyone who thinks Eli is even in the same breath as Peyton does not watch the Giants play. they have no running game and are consistently bad at special teams

I really don't like getting too ahead of myself, but if the Eagles dont win the division I'll sport the logo of whichever team does win for their entire playoff run.

yeah, I just made a bet with nobody whatsoever and with nothing to gain, that's how sure I am the Eagles will win the NFC East
