I already knocked on wood, we good

Quote

Who is the best team in the league? Most responses usually involve the Cardinals. What did we see the last time they were on the field for a real football game? Arizona getting shellacked by Carolina. Now, it's fair to say the Panthers aren't the most talented team in the league. Yet, every team in the top five lugs some problems. Ron Rivera's biggest issue is that he will be playing kids in the secondary. Just remember two things: 1) CB Bene' Benwikere was hurt when this team made the Super Bowl, and 2) much of what Cam Newton accomplished last season was with the core of an 0-13 fantasy team. Kelvin Benjamin regresa.

Our offense is starting to look like an NBA team, but we're lacking in talent? AZ is not that talented, especially with grandpa Palmer stinking it up back there. Seattle is our main threat. They'll be there trying to knock us out of the playoffs.

I feel like the rest of the NFL media only remembers KB, and that we have a bunch of scrubs elsewhere...

Let's also remember that the NFL media really doesn't love the idea of a dominate NFC team.  Looking around at preseason Playoff Brackets (one of the most useless exercises in human history!), we're going to get there, but we'll never beat Green Bay, AZ or Seattle...  According to guys whose job it is to write about the NFL.

At least things have changed a bit: we're not an expected playoff team, just not the best team.  I guess everyone felt like we over achieved last season, and since we don't have the coolest story line, we're not good enough to make it.

Fug'em.  I can't wait for Thursday night!  Let's go and show'em we're ready for primetime again this year!

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
