The eagle's success depends on who their quarterback is.

Hell, they won't even be 8-8 this season. Their schedule is a trainwreck of top tier teams.
Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, NYG, Atlanta, NO, and Cincy were all in the playoffs last year. That's 8 games right there against playoff opponents. Then you have to play an improved Tampa team on the road, and 2 games against Dallas who will be looking for revenge from losing both last season. There's maybe 5 easy games on that schedule. In fact, Red Zone ranked your schedule as the 6th toughest in the league.
GOOD LUCK!
My Browns are 3rd! WE ARE FINALLY HIGH ON A LIST of some sort!  |

Why your team sucks 2012 Cleveland Browns.
Because you are from the earthly home of Howard the Duck and your uniforms are the color of poo. |

The Eagles could be very good. They have a lot of talent. But you got to, at a minimum, have a winning record before you start talking about dynasties, right? They had a lot of talent last year, they still barely finished .500. Since we know Vick won't be on the field for 16 games this year, a lot will depend on how good their backup QB options are... oh. |

If he does happen to stay on the field for the full 16 games they could be tough. Otherwise they're looking at a losing record, IMO.

They'll be a tough out regardless - Desean Jackson and McCoy are just that good.

Yeah, busy day. Chad's name changed, Aaron Berry released from the Lions for being a repeat dumbass, and Louis Murphy goes to the Panthers (normally a Murphy move doesn't draw interest to me but when it is improving an already powerful offense this could be worth mentioning).

Ichiro to the Yankees. Glad to see him get a chance for some post season baseball; also glad the Mariners won't have to have the 'yeah, we need you to take a $15M pay cut' conversation in the offseason. Wish the Ms could have gotten it done while he was here. GL to him.
I think Ichiro is going to get owned in the NFL instead of being in the American League. |

This one's for the Seattle fan. http://deadspin.com/5929379/why-your-team-sucks-2012-seattle-seahawksWhy hello there, Tarvaris Jackson, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I don't know why you're still on the team. The Seahawks signed Matt Flynn to replace you, which makes sense given that you have been mediocre at best despite playing with a dangerous rushing offense on two different teams. And yet Pete Carroll has said that ol' T-Jack has the starting job unless Flynn proves himself more worthy.
You know how the Seahawks are supposed to benefit from the 12th Man in Seattle? They lost three home games by less than a touchdown in 2011, all with chances to win in the 4th quarter. Let's look at those games:
Oct. 2: Falcons 30, Seahawks 28 — With the Seahawks down 24-7 at the half, Jackson performs admirably to get the Seahawks back in the game. With 1:49 left in the game and no timeouts, T-Jack completes a series of short checkdowns over the middle to set up a 61-yard field goal. Miss. Seahawks lose. T-Jack isn't at fault here, but neither is he impressive under pressure.
Nov. 27: Redskins 23, Seahawks 17 — The Seahawks start the quarter by gaining a 17-7 lead. As the Redskins "storm" back with field goals, here are the four final Seahawks' possessions: 3 and out, 3 and out, turnover on downs in 4 plays, interception on third play. Jackson's numbers on those drives: 4-7 for 22 yards, 2 sacks that ended possessions, and a game-sealing INT. In front of a home crowd. AGAINST THE REDSKINS.
Dec. 24: 49ers 19, Seahawks 17 — Even with Jackson struggling against the very good Niners D, the Seahawks take a 17-16 lead after a blocked punt gives the 'Hawks the ball on the 4, an easy one-play touchdown drive thanks to Marshawn Lynch. After San Francisco answers with a field goal, the Seahawks get the ball twice in the final three minutes. Those possessions end in a T-Jack fumble and a quick turnover on downs due to incompletions.
None of this takes into account the 23-20 Week 17 OT loss in Arizona where Jackson engineered a three-and-out before the 'Hawks punted and gave up a field goal.
The Seahawks have a very good young defense. They have a great running game with an improving offensive line. They have arguably the best home-field advantage in the NFL. Their coach... is, uh, better than Jim Mora. But they're trotting out the same incompetent dickbag who single-handedly kept them from a winning record EVEN THOUGH THEY SIGNED SOMEONE BETTER TO REPLACE HIM.

If they don't start Flynn they need to fire Pete Carroll tomorrow. That's just insane.

FTFY. I do not understand why any NFL team hired him for a head coaching position. |

Yeah, I agree with you guys there. I mean, I guess he's a serviceable NFL head coach, but I don't think he's a good enough coach to win a superbowl.

Anyone who doesn't think they will start Flynn is a fool. They just don't announce such things this early. |

I'm just going to say this... as a Broncos fan, these comments work perfectly if you equate TJax to Orton and Flynn to Tebow. I just sure hope it all ends up better for Seahawks fans. The conversation is identical.... with a little bit of Carrol = McDaniels thrown in.

Orton was and is a much better QB than everyone on that list except maybe Flynn, and the jury is still out on him. |

I don't disagree. I never disliked Orton and he got a bad rap, and very very very happy that Tebow was run out of town. The actual text of the conversation is what reminded me of it. This exact conversation was all that happened for 2 years on Broncos forums. If they don't start Flynn they need to fire Pete Carroll tomorrow. That's just insane.
Anyone who doesn't think they will start Flynn is a fool. They just don't announce such things this early. Well, we are talking about Pete Carroll.......Didn't he have some pretty glowing things to say about Tarvaris Jackson when they signed him? Of course he did. Do you expect him to say "Welp, oh well." |

He should have run up to the GM and punched him directly in the balls.

That would be tough, since his hand is up the GM's asshole. PC is the director of football operations. Schneider technically reports to him, I believe.

Wouldn't that make it easier? I mean, he does have two hands, and if his hand is up his ass, he's already close. He should have run up to the GM and punched him directly in the balls.
Brian Xanders = Schneider. IT ALL WORKS. Enjoy your Matt Tebow. |

Yeah, that's lil Jimmy Haslam. They have a trucking/truckstop empire here in east TN. He and his brother, who is our Governor, are Tennessee Oilers, if you will.
They say he is a big football fan and played for UT back in the General Neyland days. Can't be bothered to google.

I think the more amazing part of that story is that someone somewhere anywhere thinks the Browns are worth ONE BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.

Well the franchise is a goldmine with a history and fanbase that has proven itself by backing this woeful team (myself, sadly, included).
