Very surprised how good Aaron Rodgers has turned out to be.

Sure is trendon, I might have to argue that I am probabaly the biggest Lions fan in the NDL. SUH, is a dominate force, when he is not being doubled teamed. The only thing that I saw though was that he seemed to run out of steam in the second quarter of one of thier preseason games. It seemed that way with thier whole defensive line, and our defense got shredded apart. I might be drinking a little too much kool-aid, but if the Lions win in week one, which I think they will, knowing that the Mike MArtz system takes a couple weeks to click, and that the Bears left tackle WIlliams gave up 4 sacks in the preseason game, I think we will beat them. With them winning week one at Chicago, (First away win since 2007) Ford Field will be rocking in week two againist the Eagles, and I believe we will be 2-0. Now this is where the real kool-aid kicks in, we play Minn in week 3. Since they think Javon Walker is going to be thier savior, they might have to second guess themselves. He has only played 11 games since 2007, and Rice will be out, while HArvin is lingering with Migraines. SOOOO MAYBE, JUST MAYBE 3-0.
Our offense is awesome, if you guys are in Fantasy Football Leagues, JAVID BEST will be a STUD! He is being used in our offense in MANY different ways and will be a huge factor in our offense. He will be a steal in the fourth. The only thing that concerns me with the offense is that yes they scored on every offensive drive vs the Broncos, and were in the redzone every time, but had to kick a field goal 3 out of the 4 times. They need 7's not 3's.
The secondary concerns me, but we are moving Speviey to safety maybe next to Delmas, but the secondary and half the Lbs concern me.

I am not! He almost fits my mold of solid NFL QB
- Four year starter (he was three and one at a JC)
- Played on a good (not the BEST!) team in a BCS conference (or, for others, played on the best team in a smaller conference)
- Played in a pro offense
- Was not hailed as All-Everything before his success in college

Just outta curiosity and I am not trying to be a smart ass but why in the world would you guys think Aaron Rodgers would not be a good NFL Quarterback.
I saw him complete 19 straight passes against USC the year we beat Oklahoma in the title game, guy is the real deal.
Now anyone see Bradford out there slinging it last night? Very impressive.

There has been no report of him losing weight. He is still a monster, and he will make his first pro bowl this year and will get a lot of redzone targets this year

I cant wait to see how Manning makes Goodell change the rules of this umpire thing going on.
The NFL Golden Child will have a say in this.
Broncos are going to be awesome this year...

Knew this was coming!
I am excited to see our young Seahawks team this year. My expectations aren't extremely high. I'm just happy to see that we have a bright future, even with Whitehurst. I'll be at Qwest Field for the season opener against the 49ers which should give us a sign of things to come. '9ers look good this year.
The Lions sure are fun to watch. Suh is also an absolute beast in Madden 11.
This should be one hell of a professional football season.

When you play in the NFC West, your schedule will always be laughable

Haven't looked at schedules, but 8 games could win the NFC West comfortably this year, lol.
