The idea is to say they are voluntary to weed out the players that don't have the work ethic the team wants. But everyone knows this so its really kind of a joke, and the ones that don't go are the most idiotic of the idiots.

Kinda like falling for a really bad April Fools' joke. You don't realize just how badly you've messed-up until you sat on the whoopie cushion they put in your chair, in class. Then you realize what happened, while all the other kids are snickering around you.

Notable Highlights

[*]The Raiders stay in the playoff picture the entire season. The Raiders start 6-4, keeping themselves in a good position to win it. The Raiders slowly begin to lag behind the Chiefs and Broncos. The Raiders finish 9-7, just one game off the hectic AFC West Title.

[*]The Jaguars stay in the thick of the Playoff Picture as well. The Jaguars lead until week 17, where a crucial loss to the Houston Texans on the road leads to an 8-8 finish, one game back.

[*]Carolina and Pittsburgh were the last unbeatens, at 7-0. The Steelers lost in week 8 on the road to the Ravens, while the Panthers lost in LA to the Rams. Both teams finished 14-2, tying for the best record in the league.

[*]The Bengals playoff loss streak continues, losing to the Houston Texans in the wild card for the 3rd time in 5 years.

Anyone else going to make season predictions?

The Broncos can get there with a top 5 defense and Mark Sanchez. Same way it happened in 2009-2011.

I think Sanchez is bad enough that they will dump him and start Paxton Lynch full time by the end of the season. Need I remind yalls of the Buttfumble?

OR Sanchez can thrive under a offensive minded Head Coach.

Maybe Thrive is an overreaction, but, hey, at least he was halfway decent in Philly.

Butt fumble does not, and should not discount, from Sanchez doing decently before and after. He's done decent job as starter for a bit, even though we all know what happened on various occasions when he looked bloody embarassing. Him in Philly was quite good if you may ask me. Obviously not Brady/Big Ben/Manning level but still.

With that being said, Sanchez is not a permanent option and may not even last more than this one. Lynch has good chances, don't know about that Slemian kid so whatevs.

With playoffs I think Pittsburgh has a good chance other than Denver and New England. With KC I am not as high on their chances and will still bank on Broncos' chances to win the division.

Either way, if you think SBLI is the Pats, didn't they say the same thing on 2007 and 2012? :P So don't count out those in NFC because Eli's like.... 8)

The Thing is, Arizona has a Top 5 Defense. Even if the Giants are at home, that wild card should be tough. Then they'd probably face two more teams with monster defenses (named the Panthers and the Packers). Perhaps the Giants could upset one of them, But I don't think they'd be able to upset all three to reach the super bowl.

Obviously I'm not referring to Giants rn :P They're in no shape to make playoffs, let alone SB.

I was referring to NE's spectacular 2006 and 2011 seasons ended in blip comeback by Eli.

Man, after watching Tampa Bay's draft, I felt like I was watching a segment from a future ESPN special on “the Tampa Bay dynasty.” These last two drafts have been masterfully executed. I get the sense that Koetter on deck may be the winning ingredient for the Bucs, combined with the overwhelming talent of Winston, the strength of the offense we've already accumulated, and the defense we're building.

Also, I laughed audibly when the final mocks came in and Kiper and McShay said we'd take Leonard Floyd. Completely laughable, I thought Walt Deptula was beating these guys by being smart, when it's now clear that he beats them because they're fucking morons.

Crud. Tampa having a good draft means New Orleans needs to be more on their toes. We barely beat them last year as is...

Though our D should be improved thanks to our draft picks...

Still need a decent Defensive Coordinator, though.

Hopefully, they reach a new pinnacle in their career, the last pinnacle being the presence of Terrell Owens in their lineup.

Hopefully, they reach a new pinnacle in their career, the last pinnacle being the presence of Terrell Owens in their lineup.

Uh, Terrell Owens was never a Buccaneer. Their pinnacle was beating the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.

You know what else is still funny to think about? Jerry Rice as a Seahawk. I know it happened, but even this long after the fact, it doesn't seem right.

Yep. Happened right before his retirement.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.
