[Cail]

lol yes

[Mizango]

Looks like we'll be seeing Matty checkdown up close.
Falcons get hard knocks.

HAHA

[Moss]

that's literally the most boring team that they could have profiled this year
I would watch the cot damn cardinals or chargers before the falcons jesus christ

Well it won't be boring for me. Just look at it as seeing the beginning of a dynasty.

Nigga u dum

maybe next year they will score 3 points in the playoffs.

[Cleverness]

maybe next year they will score 3 points in the playoffs.

Not unless they get Eli to kick field goals for them. Maybe 4 points if he does TWO safeties.

Official happy list for #16, in priority order: Ingram, Coples, M.Floyd (or Blackmon if for some reason Floyd leapfrogs), Trade down for Perry/Mercilus.
Official dooooooooom list: Upshaw, Barron, Poe.

Shit needs to hussle up, I need a fix. Hate this time of year.

You have a QB controversy between Sanchez and Tebow. If I were you, I'd want to be as far away from the season as possible. Also: Thanks.

[Celeras]

Lol ok, we'll see. You're welcome, random nobody.

[Cail]

and so it begins

Tim Tebow has work to do if he's going to win over New York sports fans.

The new backup quarterback for the Jets was booed at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night when he was shown on the giant video board -- even though he was wearing a Yankees cap.

Sitting in the third row next to the Los Angeles Angels dugout, Tebow cracked a smile and acknowledged the camera. There was a smattering of cheers, but most of the initial reactions were boos.

2012 Strength of Schedule List:
http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/po...th-of-schedule
Once again, the Pats have the easiest. GB 2nd easiest. NYG hardest.
PHI + jax have 8 games against opponents that had at least 9 wins last year (most in the league)
NE + ATL have 4 games against opponents that had at least 9 wins last year (least in league)

Edit: Sounds like full schedules will be announced tomorrow at 4pm EST

[Chun Liroy]

I wonder how NE would do if they actually played teams that were above .500

[Demosthenes11]

no kidding. we would have had a much more difficult schedule last year if we didn't have to play the nfc east

[Chun Liroy]

Uhh, duh? The division leader finished .500

[Chun Liroy]

err 1 over .500

[Demosthenes11]

just wanted you to be clear that your team is garbage, yet you are trying to talk down a team that is there year after year

[archibaldcrane]

7 games vs. Last year's playoff participants?

2nd easiest schedule.

K.

Because year after year they face the worst in the league.

this hurts so badly when you say it. I know when I watch the patriots in the superbowl, i sure think "man, I really wish we had played harder teams this year"

[Chun Liroy]

You mean 2007 or last year?
