NFL offseason thread: FOOTBALL STARTS SUNDAY

[Tyche]

Titans doctors just arrived at the facility likely to give the physical; usually, only takes place if a contract is being signed.

Bud's plane is scheduled to leave in 15 minutes to head to NC and then directly back to Nashville; likely, to pick up Peyton's kids/wife.

I think there are currently more fans gathering outside of the practice facility than attend Dolphin games Tyche

For some damn reason, I still am thinking Denver -.-;

I find this funny considering your entire damn stadium was full of dolphins fans when I was down there.

While I won't say that he won't eventually sign with Tennessee, I think the chances he actually signs tonight is incredibly slim. The doctors showing up to the facility I find largely meaningless. He'll go through a much more extensive physical than what a provider is able to do at a team facility before he inks a deal.

[Weltall]

Yeah, because the Vikings sure on top of the mountain right now...lol.

I don't get why peyton would want to go to TN

Denver seems like a more budding defense and a pretty good run attack (just need a few receivers). Miami has a solid D, jake long, reggie bush. Cardinals have larry fitz. Titans have...an ok receiving group, not a great oline, and a mediocre defense.

Im done with the NFL forever. Having John Fox and the Tebow on the same team as him was bad enough, now this? I no longer wish to live in this world. This here is some ol fuck shit. I knew I was in trouble when my wife called me at work and laughed for about 14 seconds nonstop before breaking the ugly news.

You have to seize the day Miz, you know Glass Romo won't make it through a season - c'mon even you could cheer for the Cowboys to win a single playoff game with Orton their lord and savior for true troll value, right?

Bregor. Steinbach declining or what? If he is still good, bagels should grab em.

1. Was raining

2. Vince Young was our QB - The city was in a state of depression.

3. #2 is the only excuse I needed. Watch a game from both stadiums, the crowd is night and day difference.

4. Tennessee has sold out every home game ever played. The Dolphins team had to literally buy its own tickets last season to avoid blackouts.

BLACKOUTS

Titans have one of the best pass protecting lines in the NFL. I believe** they gave up the 2nd fewest sacks last year.

Also, Kenny Britt is better than the entire Dolphins offense alone.

Peyton -
CJ - Full offseason + peyton getting rid of the stacked box = INSANE
Cook - GREAT TE that came into his own end of the season
Britt - See above
Damian Williams - Up-and-comer - would have great numbers with Manning
Nate Washington - Had good numbers last year even with Britt hurt and Hasselbeck throwing him the ball

Various other reasons:

1. 4 free wins a year vs. Jags/Colts
2. Wife is from Memphis
3. Owns a house in Chattanooga
4. Knoxville / UTK
5. The fans here love him more than Indy fans already
6. Possible ownership(%) of the team being offered to him post retirement

Edit: Yep, Titans o-line was ranked overall #2 last season. What the heck are you talking about? lol The o-line is obviously the most important piece to Manning.

Bregor. Steinbach declining or what? If he is still good, bagels should grab em.

He was out all year, and back problems can be chronic. Two years ago he was money though, running left behind him and Thomas was pretty damn successful. If he's healthy he'll be a good sign somewhere.

[archibaldcrane]

Wonder where Hasslebeck would end up. He's gotta be the least-talked-about starting QB in the NFL right now right? He's just kinda...there.

[Tyche]

If I were Peyton, I'd go to Arizona. Indoors, one of the two best WRs in the league, cake division, fantastic weather. I don't think any of the other cities have two of any of those...

[Bregor]

Are you suggesting Peterson, and/or the decision to draft him five years ago, is the reason they were 3-13?

[Weltall]

He would be sacked and broken within 5 games. Do they even have a LT?

Lets see take the 2nd best Oline last year or the 2nd to LAST? Takes a genius to figure that one out....come on, wow.

No I'm saying 'elite' RB's are insignificant in todays game. having the best RB in the league doesn't mean your team is good or will be good.

[Bregor]

Even if that were true, in the absence of an elite QB and already having an elite LT, I'll take an elite anything else right now. I don't like Blackmon that much. Some help on defense would be okay I guess. Obviously as a Bama fan I have a soft spot for Richardson.

[Bregor]

Chad Henne to the Jags, he must have been lured there by throwing to such a huge red zone target like Laurent.

Poor Jets, there goes their opportunity at a competent QB.

[Weltall]

With Henne at the Jags, there goes any Manning to Denver - Tebow to Jaguar trade speculation.

Peyton transferred to Baptist Medical for physical - pic just taken LOL:
