Guess what?  We not dead ass last!

27. Carolina Panthers

Post-free-agency ranking: 27

Player who benefited: DE-OLB Brian Burns. Adding first-round pick Derrick Brown at defensive tackle next to Pro Bowler Kawann Short is going to create a lot of inside push and demand a lot of double-teams. That leaves Burns, last year's first-round pick, with more room to get to the quarterback. Look for a lot more Spider-Man celebrations out of Burns, who impersonates his superhero with "Spidey" poses after each sack. He had 7.5 last season as a rookie, despite dealing with a wrist injury that forced him to wear a cast or a brace for much of the season. Quarterbacks beware. -- David Newton

They think the skins, det, and the giants are going to be worse than us?  I dont see it.  Bengals are getting a ton of talent back that they lost last year but they are going to be starting a rookie.  I think the Jags are def the worst team with us and the bengals as the next one up.  I honestly think riverboat is going to have the redskin defense playing at a high level.  Lots of talent on that side of the ball.

Also, weird seeing the Pats that low and the Bucs that high. Excuse me if I don't buy the hype for the Browns 2.0, though. 

Browns seem to win the Offseason every year but still turn into poo during the real season

It is amazing what a solid DL will do for a team.  When the first thing the QB and C see when they get to the line is four guys they would rather not see, it can have quite an effect on the opposing offense.  Our defense could go from Swiss cheese to decent or better if that group can gel early.

I don't care about prognostication. I care about on-field performance. We could be much better than that - or, gulp, worse.

Bottom line for me is that I think we're moving in the right direction. Back to back playoff seasons under Rhule? I think it's going to happen, and probably in the next 5 seasons.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
