i know its really early but who has had the best offseason and are they're any teams that will rise that werent good last year and any teams that will be sleepers?

[mulletman]

I think the Browns did very well in the draft, and it shall be interesting to observe their performance.

The Patriots should be good as always, but if Randy Moss works well with them, look out.

[Fandrew]

Team with best offseason: The Patriots, Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, AND Randy Moss!

Team with best draft: Browns, they got lucky.

Team that will show the most improvement: Possibly the Lions, but I'd never put money on them. I'll say Cardinals.

Story line I don't want to listen to in '07: Brett Favre, selfish player or team leader? And is he too old?

[wjarmusch]

Best Offseason: Patriots, Texans (Schaub, Ahman Green,Okoye)
Best Draft: Raiders & Browns. But, of course that is yet to be seen whether it works out.
Most Improved for 07: Lions, 49ers.
Most Dissapointing for 07: Packers, Dolphins, Falcons, Vikings.

I also expect the Saints & Titans make strong pushes into the playoffs. Their teams went relatively unchanged.

We got rid of Joe Horn (read: he's a traitor). That's a pretty big change. I think it will turn out pretty well for us, though, 'cause we had some really really good receivers that didn't get enough credit with Joe Horn always stealing the spotlight.

I think the Titans will be back to their playoff ways of 1999-2003. Vince Young is only going to get better, although their draft was kinda blah.

The Pats probably had the best offseason. Moss should work out nicely for them.

[Tmurrin]

how bout Tony Romo and the cowboys do ya think that they will be able to keep up the end of the season push

[Mr. claw]

Has anyone ever seen the John Madden imposter on the Late show with David Letterman?

Any player other than Favre that he thinks is good is described as "Favrelous".

And Donte Stalworth (I really don't know how to spell this and am too lazy to google tonight), I believe.

[Tmurrin]

The pats have a strong push for the playoffs without a doubt but maybe they have to much talent.

[redclothes]

The patriots are probably everyones superbowl favorite now, but my suprise team of the year is the Lions, and i'm looking at the Saints to actually have a bad year.

I wouldn't count out the Lions. I mean, look at their competition...Packers, Vikings, Bears. They should be able to beat the Packers & the Vikes and compete with Chicago for the division. Mike Martz has had a year to work his magic, they brought in another RB to help out Kevin Jones, and picked up Calvin Johnson. He, along with Roy Williams & Mike Furrey could be dangerous. Their percieved weakness is Kitna (QB) and their Defense. On paper, their defense is bad...but they actually have talent and their only weakness is the secondary. I think they can be like the colts...outscore their opponents.

The Steelers are bad?

Good teams that will drop: Titans, Patriots (this is a strech but from what i have seen teams that build in Free agency dont do well) and Kanas city

I don't think there's any way Vince Young won't make the playoffs soon. He's too good. I'd like to agree with you about the Pats...but I'm not sure.

[Tmurrin]

what i meant by bad teams was teams with bad records last year. which the steelers werent horrible but im hopin for more this year. I see where your comin from on the lions. The only i thing about the lions that makes me nervous is the OL. I mean kitna did good last year but under alot of pressure. The defense will step up if the offense does. And the thing that has me concerned for the Titans is all the stuff with Pacman and all. See im not worried about his absence in person on the field but the atmosphere that he created in other words how hes in hot water with Goodall and all that. It has me worried. But you are right vince will make the playoffs some year but i dont think he is ready to deal with on and off season problems. Pacman brought somethin to the team. (more than just points) it was a motivation and if vince can give what he gave last year plus make up for pacman than the Titans are definatly in the playoffs

[Tmurrin]

but i see where your comin from
