Packers had the worst O-line is football last season. I can only hope they've made some improvement this year. They have a few new rookies and a few veterans coming back so hopefully they can pull it together. I wouldn't blame it all on Rodgers, he gets rid of the ball faster than most other QB's in the league.

there is no chance that the team with the worst O line would ever be that good offensively...

I'm really excited for the Broncos' season to start, but I'm already fed up with hearing Tim Tebow's (not just Tebow, that would be too tolerable to say.) name. I watched one preseason game, and heard an overflow of Tim Tebow. He threw an interception, then tackled the guy. That was the biggest highlight on my NFL mobile update. REALLY?!

Ugh.

Also, in other news, the Irish did well against Purdue. Looked destructive towards the end of the game, but their defense was DIRTY. I loved it. The spread offense with focus on the run game seems to really work in their favor. I'm praying for a season that will help Notre Dame regain some long-lost glory.

new season is underway within the hour. i feel predicty.

division winners:

nfc east: dallas, but i really don't have a strong opinion on it.

west: san fran, because they are the best of the crappy bunch.

north: green bay, rodgers for mvp.

south: atlanta, turner is due for a big bounce back year and ryan should be better.

afc east: new york, but i'm not too sure on this either.

west: san diego

north: cincinnati, palmer decides to play.

south: indy

Pretty boring season opener.

yeah Brett Favre was very underwhelming. I thought the vikes defense looked surprisingly solid though.

That was awful. I'm definitely not blaming any loss on the ref's, but how many penalty calls were there on 3rd down that resulted in a Ravens 1st down?! Some were well deserved, some were phantom calls. Either way, I guess I'm a little optimistic that we lost by 1 point- but that was an utterly horrible game by the Jets' offense... We need better if we are supposedly being considered among the AFC "elite".
