1-3 isn’t so good but those games don’t matter. Gannon bout to have a field day

Yeah doesn't matter at all really, didn't even play those games. Maybe next season when I have some input on the roster construction.

Man i loved watching McNair and George play, following for sure man. The Freak is so much fun, good luck with this man.

Thanks Bailey. Looking forward to playing with Kearse. He had a pretty monster couple of seasons.

NFL Headlines | Season Preview Edition


Buccaneers Favored To Repeat As Champs
"The Buccaneers have a great chance to repeat because of their defense. Although they're a year older, they're still dominant and dangerous for opposing offenses," notes ESPN Analyst and former NFL player Mike Golic.

ESPN Analyst John Clayton: Colts Are My Dark Horse Super Bowl Pick
Peyton Manning has all of the tools that make him work the passing game at his best -- two tight end sets with Marcus Pollard and Dallas Clark, Marvin Harrison at wide receiver and Edgerrin James back at being the old Edgerrin.

Daunte Culpepper To Miss Significant Time With Broken Ribs
The Vikings dynamic QB was sacked in a preseason contest which consequently led to broken ribs and figures to be out until at least Week 8. Gus Frerotte looks to be the guy to fill in for Culpepper.

Kevin Dyson Out For Season With ACL Tear
Carolina's newest addition won't be seeing the field this year after tearing his ACL. Dyson has a long history of knee-related injuries and caught 18 touchdowns in five years with the Titans before signing with the Panthers this past offseason.

Eagles Jermane Mayberry Suffers Tragic, Career-Ending Blow
This past weekend, doctors told Mayberry he would never be able to play again after rupturing his Achilles tendon. He was selected 25th overall in 1996 by Philadelphia and was coming off his first Pro-Bowl selection.

Should rename this thread to Vibes

Big Duce was a beast. I have always been a fan of having a few different backs. Staley for running, then Buckhalter and/or Westbrook on passing downs is a fun mix.

Thanks bro, trying to recreate the time period a little bit so it hits a little deeper.
