The East needs to get their shit together. I don't want the Redfags walking away with the division again without a challenge.

Crazy how teams like the Rams and Bucs don't even get a mention. Can't wait to prove everyone wrong this year.

Schlereth just went with the status quo. But this is the NFL, as in Not For Long.

Exactly; Vikings, Redskins, and SeaPidgeons all made the playoffs in 2012 after failing to make the playoffs in 2011.
Every year teams rise and fall.
Schlereth just picked the easy ones.

Me personally; The Redskins and Vikings spots are definitely up for grabs. I'd also say one of the two; SF and Seattle fall out.
I don't see New Orleans as a threat. Asshole Face can't fix that defense.
If I had to pick two locks it would be Green Bay and Atlanta. My third would be SF.

Not going to say the RAMS are in or out, that's just bad mojo !!! They might be in the running for a playoff spot, but it's a young team so the pressure may get to em
But I dont see the foreskins winning the East, nor do I see Seattle and SF having the same results with the read option offense they had last year.

It's not likely the Rams get in the playoffs this year though so I can't argue with him abut leaving them out. I think the Vikings and Redskins get worse and who gets those slots is a big question mark. The Giants usually go one year in one year out lol.....so they could be in. The Bears could get in too if the Vikings take a step back like I think they will. AP will fall off this year after the overuse last year as is usually the case.
The Rams have an outside shot but I don't see 10 wins on the schedule next year and that's almost always what it take to get in. I think they will be in the race until the end but just miss out. I'd love to see them get in and see the kids all get playoff experience, especially on the road, to help season and mature them, but I can't figure out how 10 wins will happen next year.
So no playoffs I guess.
I do think that the next year will be the BIG ass leap forward and that this team will win 11-13 games for many years in a row. This team, in my opinion and I think you all agree, is being built right. I don't think the FO or coaching staff feels like they have to "win now" and are building a machine that will be running well for a long time. I'm sure Fisher and Co would love to go undefeated every year but if you could get a totally honest answer from these guys I'd bet they would say something along the lines of having no expectations until next season starts up. A team this young is going to let some games slip away and will make mistakes. We have a lot of youngsters and rookies on this roster and while that'll serve the team well in the coming years right now it isn't an asset IMO.
Ok ready aim fire lol.

I'm calling it, the Seahawks don't even make the playoffs this year. And the Skins are definitely OUT. Teams will figure out that gimmick offense, and thats even IF RG3 stays healthy.

I've gone back and forth this offseason but I think it's going to be a year where the Rams are sitting out. I think that SEA will probably take the division.
I think that WASH is going to be in for a rough ride. Shanahans want to keep their jobs and that big fat paycheck so that means more meat grinder for Griffin.

C'mon. Schlereth is a total tool. If that "segment" took him more than ten minutes to practice what the tech guys put together for him based on his ten minutes of thought, he's also dumber than rocks. That was freakin' useless.

ESPN is not a fan of Sam Bradford. If they were, the Rams would have been mentioned. They LOVE RG3 so of course they will overlook his significant knee injury and put them back in the Playoffs. I don't think the Vikings will be back in this year. The Vikings will see even more stacked boxes this year with Harvin gone. I'm not a believer in their passing attack. Niners lost more talent then they got back.
Crabtree is all but done for this season
Soapoaga gone- replaced by Tank Carradine (injury prone rookie)
D. Walker gone
Gholston gone- Replaced by Reid (rookie)
Gore- not getting any younger
Niners will be a better team next year than this one.
I have a lot of confidence in our Rams.

I love what the Rams are doing and there should be a lot of excitement this season with an outside chance of the playoffs.
My money is on penalties killing them again this season though. They are so young and new, and with this schedule, I wouldn't bet on a huge w/l improvement, but the possibility is certainly there and I'd love to be wrong!

I think if our O-line performs at a decent level, it will be huge for ALL.
But damn it - I want to see us TORCH some defenses with several highlight reel plays. It's been too long. I want some plays where I start celebrating the TD when our guy still has the ball around the 50 yard line. I want to see us get some easy scores on both sides of the ball. Pick sixes, monster sacks, 70 yard screen passes or end arounds, returns for a TD, Kap's helmet flying farther than the ball that was just dislodged from his body, Sam hitting the 50 yard bomb or the seam route that goes for six, etc... I want WOW plays and I think we are amassing the talent to give us some on a fairly regular basis.
And if we can get some of those easy scores on a fairly regular basis, our defense is plenty good to make us a team to reckon with. The hell with the Whiners and the Shecocks. I think we can win most of our non-conference games and I KNOW we can beat the shecocks and whiners if we play good solid ball. We'll make some mistakes and possibly lead the league in penalties but we should also have an offense that CAN score from virtually anywhere on the field.
