Top five favorites for next year

I'll say this much. I wouldn't want to be the week one opponent of the Colts next season. You could safely bet that Manning will still be pissed off.

Honestly, to me Reggie Wayne is an Alvin Harper, i.e. a number two receiver serving as a number one. I think they need a true number one, and while I think Anthony Gonzalez is good, I don't think he fits that mold either.

They also need a consistent run game...The only downside to having Manning is the amount they pay him takes away from other parts

The old Barry Sanders dilemma.

They've built an O-line that's primarily made up of pass blockers, which makes sense with Peyton back there. Still, regardless of how great the Qb is, if you're one-sided, eventually it can come back to bite you.

yeah..Thats why I always felt the saints would pull it out..I know Peytons a great QB but his salary and pass blocking Oline and no run game.will kill you every time.

Indy and SD are both running into problems in the post season because of the inability to grind it out between the tackles.

Both teams can throw the rock all over the field, but they ranked 31 and 32 in the NFL in rushing. That poo comes back to haunt you in the playoffs, hence Indys' and SD's early bow outs each year...for the most part.

SD couldn't win a playoff game when they could run either. Of course their ground game needs some improvement, and they should be looking at some of the backs that are going to be there when they make their first round selection

indys biggest problem is their undersized defensive line. Freeney is the only guy there whose talent offsets the size disadvantage he has so his starting is justified

I just take entertainment value from the fact that Dallas in ONCE AGAN listed as one of the favorites. Makes it even sweeter when they screw the pooch and blow it again.

Well, they won 13 games three years ago and 12 last year, didn't they? They got the December monkey off their back this year. I think they are dangerous, especially since they host the Super Bowl.

You do realize that this is the first year they have been 1 and done since 04 right?

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
