Let the 2013 NFL SEASON THREAD BEGIN.

So former Vikings player Percy Harvin might need hip surgery.

Welcome to the last few years of a Minnesota fans life with a player everyone was crowing about, how great a deal the Seahawks got ect..........

Talk about "headache".

Doesn't seem like preseason is already here. Glad I'll be able to watch something other than baseball now.

I'll just put this here for the sake of record keeping...











Also. Pre-season in 8 days? That means we're only like 12 weeks from:

Manuel Madness? Is that going to be the 5 int's he throws per game?

I think the Bucs might be better than many are thinking, there D got upgraded, Freeman is in a contract year I think so he will be playing like his next contract depends on it.(Starter or back up from now on) Muscle Hamster is there so I will be rooting for them to come out of the South. (Maybe Cam also because it would be fun to see everyone flip flop again, great undefeated, money to go somewhere, stole a laptop, won't be a good rookie QB, amazing rookie QB, he is celebrating in a loss= not mature)

Yeah as a panthers fan I'm halfway between pissed and amused at the media's attitude toward Newton.

Usually he's called "not mature" because he is too happy before a game and/or too sad after a loss. I think the only time he has been criticized for "celebrating in a loss" was the giants game which turned out to be a blowout, he scored a TD when we were down and did his superman celebration. But people forget (or likely never knew, they don't actually watch the games they just look at the highlights and point out what they think is wrong) that at that point we were down 2 scores, and that touchdown got us back into the game with plenty of time left after looking like we were out of it a few minutes before. It was a perfect time to celebrate.

I would love to see the Bucs do well. Sadly their success hinges on a one, Josh Freemen. In case noone has noticed, he sucks. He takes too long in his reads (if he's looking for an open wideout), but more often than not stares down his option till he thinks he can throw it. Dougie fresh is going to be keyed on and Mike W will also be expected. With a good QB at the helm I'd say probable division contenders. With JF, I'd say third in the division feels like home.
their defense looks great, just not enough.

Bills....I'm sorry

Panthers, cam is a good QB without many places to throw the ball. A team that had a good running duo of John stewart and Deangelo Williams, and decided we should throw the ball more often than run, is a team that is doomed for failure

That would be cool, I would be in!



Jets will bomb with that bad QB Sanchez at it's helms. I say Pats, Broncos or Packers this year to win the Superbowl!

I want to see The Schaub run a zone read spread offense. Maybe only just once or twice though, because I don't want him to die.

Really think 49'ers and Seattle would do it? I doubt 49'ers can repeat or even win, but you might have a good point on Seattle though.....

[I WUB PUGS]

49ers added Boldin since Crabtree is out for a while. They've made some awesome moves in the offseason. The team is virtually unchanged except they've got youth at both Safeties. They'll make the playoffs for sure and Crabtree and Boldin together at the end of the season and playoffs along with that run game is pretty hard to ignore.

This is the NFL though. The Bucs could win it all too. Don't ask me how, but there are no guaranteed winners. Nobody thought Baltimore would do it last year.

[Zeus Almighty]

Not true, though I didn't see the ravens past the conference finals. I'm the other way on the Seattle/9ers talk thought. I think the 9ers have a higher probability of doing I then Seattle. IMO Seattles offence isn't together enough. Skittles can't do it all and Harvin can't stay healthy

[I WUB PUGS]

Well. I didn't hear anyone (seriously) talking about the Ravens going all the way even in week 1 of the playoffs. Every AFC nut was all up on the Pats and Broncos nuts. So the Ravens were a surprise to me.
