improved record...yeah sure. i mean we don't have a difficult schedule as it is especially for the first half. if we are playing like we did at the end and can actually improve on that (very little reason to believe that won't happen) then we could easily find ourselves hitting the mid point with 4-5 wins. if things are gelling and we've got in a groove we could see that bump up to 8 or 9 wins be seasons end. i think this is completely reasonable. we just don't need to see a regression like we did with BY the beginning of last year.

i think you might be overestimating the strength of the rest of the NFCS. if we win the division or come close it's going to have as much to do with the rest of the division sucking as it is with our getting better (which we will be).

i looked at this question and thought QB was going to be too much of a cop out answer. lazy. for me, Myles Garrett. that's the guy that would give us the biggest boost. maybe Micah Parsons. Both guys terrorize OLs and QBs. They both come with a a contagious attitude and presence that the others would feed off of. I would also consider an OLB like TJ Watt. but i would rather have Kuechly back in prime form over anyone else.

true...maybe. i think the Bucs sweep the falcons and saints, too, and probably wind up with a better overall record. i just have no faith that the falcons or saints are going to do anything but suck this year.

8 weeks before we play a playoff team. i like that. and only 4 total playoff teams on the schedule. of course probably a quarter of the playoff teams from last year won't return (like usual) so there will probably be a couple that we play who wind up there. i think we wind up in the playoffs too. i have it broken down like this... 1-3 vs NFCW 2-2 vs AFCE 5-1 vs NFCS 1-2 vs oddballs (jags, cowboys, packers) 1 @ jags W 2 @cards L 3 falcons W 4 @pats W 5 dolphins L 6 cowboys L 7 @jets W 8 bills L 9 @packers L 10 saints W 11 @falcons W 12 @49ers W 13 rams L 15 @saints W 16 bucs W 17 seahawks L 18 @bucs L 9 - 8 with a wildcard spot in the playoffs.

yeah....just a bit on the weird side of things.

that's a little.....umm....

my guess is it's setting the stage for the schedule reveal thing they usually do.

i think they are wanting to see that TMac vs Hunter. i am too.

Wallace has been getting some serious mentoring from TD and a bit from Kuechly as well. Both have been sitting down with him looking at tape.

i hope so. i like the guy.

this stuff is always fun, seeing all the leaks happen. pinning this just because i like it.

just to make it clear...unless you are a belichick fan or a unc fan, no one cares. no one. seriously, no one.

it makes sense. they have a physical type they are looking for.

according to wikipedia anyways.

oof

if you have the money, it doesn't have to make sense. you just do it so you can say you had enough money to do it and keep yourself elevated above the normal riff-raff.

this is ok.

not sure how i feel about this. kind of sad but also kind of "meh..." defense will be better this year with or without him. not a make or break presence on the roster.

we weren't able to ban IPs. Just the individual accounts. Hopefully that will change this summer.

don't know if he's going to beat out tremble or sanders. won't need to. we can cycle them in and out on the regular. all three are going to be getting a lot of snaps.

i had high hopes for Jordan Matthews. oh well. we're good. Granger...interesting idea. doubt it would have worked. no real reason to give it a try either. TE room is stacked, imo.
