The Rams just 'won' FA with a bunch of lower charecter dudes. Other teams that 'won' the offseason include the Redskins and McFlabs Eagles...how'd that work out for them?
They have a stud RB, but he flat disappears at times. Their best WR is Robert Woods? Half the Defense is new and will need time to gel. Pass on the hype, I see them as a prime candidate for regression.
With the Saints I wonder if Brees can keep it up. He was already throwing wounded ducks late in the season. They have the talent to dink/dunk if Drew can't burn teams deep any more but Minnesota has the perfect Defense to stop that style of play. If their running game regresses...And I wouldn't be surprised if some of their young guys have a sophomore slump.
The Eagles concern me because of that Offense. Balanced, deep at all the skill positions, reliable depth on their O-Line, and Minnesota didn't play their best QB last year.
But they lost some pieces on Defense. And their OC and wunderkind QB Coach. And repeating is damn near impossible. Still the biggest threat, though.
Cam is Cam and his O-Line stinks. The Dirty Birds need to show me consistency on both sides of the ball. GB is still a factor as long as they have Erin.
The Elephant in the Room is the Vikings Offense. They cobbled together a running game last year. This year they get their stud RB back. The O-Line returns 3 Starters at their same positions, which will improve continuity. They upgraded at the Wright position.
Oh yeah, they also added a dude who's thrown for 4k yards the last three years in a row...who also happens to have zero knee problems.
Add in Richardson and more Zimmer mad genius D schemes and this team is going to surprise some of you old timers. They'll lose a few early while Cousins and D-Flip and the Offense find their groove, and injuries are always the unknown for every team.
But don't be surprised if they stumble a bit early and then get on a roll. I'm thinking 12-4. Go on the road for the NFCCG again and this time get it done. Beat the Steelers in the SB and we can formally acknowledge my profound prognosticating puissance.
I hope you are damn spot f'ing on FSU...
