With preseason only a week away, does anyone have any early predictions,
that is other than the Ravens whooping the Steelers, and owning the AFC north (since that's a given). :)

Are you talking preseason only or the entire 2015 season?

Any and all my friend, any and all.
I'll just be happy talking about anything other than i***t Brady and his deflated balls ;)

I am feeling good about the guys in purple this year, and need am in need of a good distraction to the day to day.

I'm also interested on peoples thoughts of the Eagles and they're offensive swap in the off season.

Really trying to avoid the deflated balls thing, but it is interesting the NFL enforces accountability for improperly destroying/with holding evidence over the psi in a football, but our government no longer does in matters of national security. :shock:

But hey, its what the people v**ed for :hunf:

I look for the Packers to take the NFC north with static from the Vikings after the reinstatement of AP followed by the Lions. As far as the Eagles they made a bad trade for Bradford who has looked great in many of the Rams preseasons but is to fragile in the legs. The San Francisco 49rs have lost way to much talent to be in contention this year and the Chargers from San Diego will do great this year. Cowboys will do good as well as the deflategate team from New England. Miami so so with new quarterback and Loovie Smith as new coach. I'm hoping that the Seahawks don't do well but they probably will win the NFC west. Cardinals of the NFC west will be in contention down the homestretch if Palmer stays healthy. Th New Orleans Saints will do alright but they seem to be going downhill and Brees isn't getting any younger. The Bears will continue to have problems with Jay Cutler. The Texans will do OK with JJ Watts but nothing super spectacular. Cam Newton and the Panthers will continue to be close to the top of their division but Cam is nothing spectacular. The Steelers will probably make the playoffs. The Titans with Marcus Mar**ta will probably do OK but it will be a training year for Marcus so we will see how fast he learns. Aside from that I have few other opinions.

You think the Steelers will make the playoffs? Theyre offence has improved a bit, but they're defence will need a total over haul after Labaugh took off for the Titans, Palamaho and Ike got out while the getting was still good.

I was hoping that their offence would be good enough under Ben Roethlisberger as to not need that much from their defense. I remember the Packers one year not having a good defense in fact we were around 31 but with Aaron Rogers arm and some great receivers we went 15-1 so it cam be done.

True, but to be honest Ben doesnt worry me like Rogers would, but the Steelers will have a run game w/ Bell (if he stays off the dope).
