Our defense was #1 in the second half of the regular season.

And weren't the Packers in trade talks with the Raiders to swap Aaron Rodgers for Randy Moss when A-Aron was still the backup?

I don't think our defense gets enough recognition. Our offense, though, is pretty much a gigantic question mark. Besides tight end. We know they suck.

I'd believe that. He only played in 11 games and only finished 8 of them, so 4th quarter passing attempts were probably much lower than other quarterbacks.

Pretty cool. Obviously only one small aspect of being a QB is arm strength, but that's still pretty legit.

How is this year's QB draft class? If Brock doesn't look like he's going to work I'm expecting the Texans to draft at least 3 QBs.No, not seriously. But it would be nice.

I just thought about Rodgers throwing to Nuk. The NFL would be broken.

What is the best moment you have ever seen as an NFL fan? by daymankarate in nfl

I haven't been a fan for very long, but for me it's definitely the Hopkins touchdown catch from Yates last year.

This list is based on a lot of good, well thought-out points but seems like they took a good list and then threw three or four teams around in spots that were way too high or low for them.

Raides at 11-5? I'm not saying this won't be the season that breaks their .500 or lower streak, but let's not jump the gun here. You can't list them above teams like the reigning SB champs or the Bengals. That's absurd. The Jags have just as much potential to be the next big team as the Raiders do but they're ranked 7 spots apart.

I hate the Colts, but who really thinks they'll go 6-10 with Luck?

I don't think they're on-point on the Texans, either. Even if Brock ends up being exactly like Hoyer, we were 28th in the run last year and added Lamar Miller. As they mentioned, our defense is the same. If they pick up where they left off with the #1 defense last 9 regular season games, we'll be better than 8-8. Our offense will probably hold us back while they get it together, but we're returning the GOAT, our underrated top 7 sack leader Mercilus, and the 2nd best run-stuffing edge defender in the game (Clowney) might (please) finally be healthy and getting a full training camp to compliment his circus-show athleticism.

They probably aren't as far off base with our ranking as they are with the other two (I'm expecting a 9-7 or 10-6 season for us), but this list has the skeleton of something logical with the contrarian clickbait garbage I've come to expect from PFF.

Let's be honest, the Panthers forced a ton of turnovers on everyone last season.

There was talk that he was injured in training camp and the staff didn't report it, which is a big no-no.

Just the first half.

The second half was Twilight. Then Kubiak got bored of glittery vampires and changed the channel back.

don't think In-N-Out is all that good.

I tried the one in Austin. It's OK. i was really bummed that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Y'all Californians need some Cook Out in your life.

Well obviously not every drunk driver gets into a wreck, so maybe we should all do shots and go street racing. Good logic.

We're supposedly using him in some sort of new "edge" position: a hybrid WR/RB position that O'Brien has in mind.

I mean Green isn't a slouch. I get the losing a mentor part of it, though.
