NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Regular Season

[Lord Avalon]

Over/under on Lions wins?

I'll say three.

Per the Football Outsiders Almanac, the Lions' 2009 Mean Projection is 5.8 wins.

On the Clock (0-3): 16%
Loserville (4-6): 45%
Mediocrity (7-8): 24%
Playoff Contender (9-10): 12%
Super Bowl Contender (11+): 3%

I'll take Over then. 5 bucks.

I know it's only the preseason, but yesterday the Lions made the Browns look real good. They almost gave up a KR TD, but it was called back due to a hold. When they got the ball back, Stafford threw an INT, which gave the Browns a very short field and a subsequent TD. There was a Browns FG, then the Lions gave up a PR TD. Another FG and it was 20-0 in 11 minutes.

Because only very few of you seem to be on Twitter:

RosenhausSports = Drew Rosenhaus

RosenhausSports "Mario Henderson has had a terrfific preseason and looks like a marquee left tackle for years to come. The Raiders have found a stud LT!"

fb_outsiders "Yes, @RosenhausSports . I'm sure Mario Henderson will be the franchise left tackle that the Raiders and franchise wideout Javon Walker need."

RosenhausSports "It is good to see center Justin Hartwig back from his toe injury. He is the leader of the Steelers offensive line and is irreplaceable."

fb_outsiders "Um, @RosenhausSports , Panthers averaged 4.0 yards per carry with Hartwig in 2007 and then 4.8 yards per carry w/o him in 2008."

[Berzerker]

good news for Edge owners, Duckett's been released

and the bad news is, Duckett will probably end up as a vulture on some other team

Vick or Favre ehhh. I don't know if Vick has been watching film in prison (don't think they'd let him do that). I assume he was working out, but their equipment is limited I would think.

Favre is past his prime. I can't believe any team signed him. He can't withstand a 16 week season. He will fade as he did with the Jets.

Problem child.

Which wide receiver isn't, these days?

[Zopperoni]

Marvin Harrison. His good behavior is now rewarding him with unemployment benefits.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Which wide receiver isn't, these days?

These days? Randy Moss.

[-Jrabbit]

Gee, I wonder which poor sap drafted Marshall. Oh yeah...

5.5 Jrabbit - Brandon Marshall WR DEN

[snoopy369]

The only reason he fell beyond the third round was the questions about his attitude, as you well know

[Ben Kenobi]

Seems my policy of no Donkies is paying off.

Also of note that Cassell was injured last night.

San Diego Chargers charter jet disappears. Search teams to expand their scope.

Bad deal. Ben, hit that waiver wire quickly, before Berz starts in on it.
