The Atlanta Falcons were one of the surprise teams in the NFL in 2008 as Matt Ryan had one of the best rookie seasons ever for a quarterback and Michael Turner lit up the league in his first season in Atlanta and out of LaDainian Tomlinson's shadow in San Diego.Big things were expected last season but injuries played a huge role in the Falcons finishing at 9-7 and remaining out of the playoffs. On the bright side, a season-ending...more
The Raiders can't possibly get any worse, right? Oakland finished 5-11 last season for its NFL-record seventh consecutive season with at least 11 losses, and the Raiders are 29-83 since losing to Tampa Bay in Super Bowl XXXVII.But perhaps Oakland will have a little addition by subtraction this season after cutting loose overweight, unmotivated 2007 No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who could go down as the biggest draft bust ever. Last season Russell completed only 48.8 percent of his passes and had three touchdowns to go with 11 picks and a 50.0 rating. Oakland pulled the plug following a dismal Week 10 game against the Chiefs, although he did get into a few later games because of injuries to Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye. Overall, Russell earned an obscene $36 million and led the team to a 7-18 record as a starter.The Raiders should have at least some stability at the position this year with former Redskin Jason Campbell, who came over from Washington for a 2012 fourth-round pick. Campbell started 52 games for Washington since being a first-round pick in 2005. He has thrown for 55 touchdowns, 38 interceptions and has a career passer rating of 82.3. That is...more
Last season was a huge disappointment for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the reigning Super Bowl champs' season seemed to go off track immediately in Week 1 when star safety Troy Polamalu got injured. He was never the same the rest of the season the few times he did play and the Pittsburgh defense wasn't the same, either. The Steelers...more
The Tennessee Titans were a see-saw bunch in 2009 after coming off a 2008 season that saw them with the best regular season record in the NFL. They then started 0-5 last season, which was bad enough, but in Week 6 things reached complete rock bottom. The Patriots won 59-0 in the snow at Foxborough in one of the most embarrassing...more
There has never been a repeat champion of the NFC South Division and the Carolina Panthers were the victims of the South curse last season, following up their 2008 12-4 record and division title with an 8-8 finish and no playoffs last year. And really that 8-8 record was a bit misleading because Carolina had to win its final three games to manage a .500 mark.Jake Delhomme's turnover-plagued 2008 postseason continued on into 2009 leading Matt Moore, who led the mini-resurgence late in the year, to eventually replace him. Moore is now the starter until 2010 NFL Draft pick Jimmy Clausen is ready, while Delhomme is now a Cleveland Brown. The Panthers ranked just 27th in the NFL in passing last season and may not be much better this year with some major receiver questions outside of Steve Smith, who himself is recovering from a broken arm. Dwayne Jarrett seems likely to start opposite Smith.But let there be no doubt: this will be a run-heavy team behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, arguably the NFL's best running back tandem. Thanks to those two, the Panthers led the NFC in rushing last year and were third overall. Stewart and Williams became the sixth pair of...more
The usually frugal Bears, it has been said, didn't fire Coach Lovie Smith following last season's incredibly disappointing 7-9 season because the team didn't want to have to pay Smith to not coach for the next two years left on his...more
If the Lions' trend continues, Detroit will reach four wins this season after going an infamous 0-16 in 2008 and then "improving" to 2-14 last year. Unfortunately, the Lions weren't able to break their road-losing streak, which is now...more
