2011-2012 NFL Season

[Daniel.]

It's time to discuss the CBA, the Draft and the league as a whole.

We've got roughly 3.5 weeks before the current CBA runs out. I never really liked Goodell but the NFLPA guy Maurice Stovall seems like an Ignorant asshole.

Will there even BE an NFL season next year? Will Rex Ryan lose another 40lbs? Will the Niners make the playoffs? Can Geico really save me 15% or more in 15 minutes?

I dont know, but my chargers fucked up last year. every player they let go, had a chance to get a ring. im hoping for more consistency, but ive been hoping for that since the days of ryan leaf and doug flutie..so ya hasnt been answered yet!!! ill just have to wait and see how the year will play out.

any bets? i wanna say the raider over charger win streak ends this year, i really dont see raiders winning another game on us, but thats just my opinion.....

draft wise i really think we need to beef up our team in general because gates aint always gonna be there for us every single time, teams will learn to shut him down, its already been done. forget the offense wins games/defense wins games mentally a win is a win.

Other than the Niners, my favorite team is the Chargers, so I feel your pain.

The problem with the Charger's isn't their playing ability. It's the unmeasurables.
Their front office created a divide in the team and put a chink in their morale with the way they dealt with McNeil and Vincent Jackson.

I think that if McNeil and VJ were dealt with more quickly and appropriately that the Chargers as a whole would have been able to play MUCH more consistently.

(This is completely overlooking the fact that they had 4 blocked FG's/Punts. 5 if you count the 1 yard blocked punt in game 7 or whatever it was.)

I hope they can work everything out and start the season on time.
Nah, Rex will probably gain weight
I'd actually like to see the niners make the playoffs
Never dealt with Geico, but 15% in 15 minutes doesn't sound bad at all


GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I hope they figure this shit all out. If they don't have a season next year it would be a shame.

So who thinks that the Packers are the next dynasty. I mean we are the second youngest team in the league and we will more then likely keep the team together for a while. Plus, we will have Finley back next year as well as Grant which then hopefully Starks and Grant can be an awesome 1-2 punch in the back field opening things up for Rogders even more. Our team just has so much talent. Hell, even against the best defense in the league we com out on top and we didn't even play that well. I'm hoping to be more consistent next year.

I think they've got great potential to become a dynasty for this decade. At the very least they are going to be extremely dangerous playoff opponents for many years to come, provided they're able to stay healthy.

I have to believe that this year was a fluke. I mean most teams don't suffer the amount of injuries we did in two seasons.

But what really is amazing is the depth. That we had guys to back'em up and they were able to play at a Super Bowl level.

Obviously I'm still hyped up and in my mind right now we can't lose. lol.

Well, since the Lockout is apparently over and teams are cutting/signing players with reckless abandon in short preparation for the forthcoming season, why not strike up the 2011-2012 NFL season thread?
Don’t expect a terrible drowning of input in this thread from me, I am only enough of a fan to watch the games, and my favorite team happens to SUCK.
That said, I don’t spend much time analyzing it as some of you may, but this thread should exist if we have an NBA thread in the middle of a lockout, then we can have an NFL one just at the end of one.
and with that…
discuss!

[Daniel.]

Hey Phlip, can you combine threads?

I hate the NFL with a passion, all it is, is a bunch of overpaid bitchy athletes, and greedy as shit owners! I also think it is ridiculous that these lazy asses cant play another game in the season, but i guess its very strenuous to run hard for 15 seconds then stand for 2 minutes.

But I cant wait for September 3rd though! College ball is where its at!
Go Hokies! Go Ducks!

*steps off soapbox*

[Broadfield]

You mean run for 3-5 seconds then get hit by a fucking bus. There is always a risk for serious injury. Besides, it's the fans faults that they get paid so much.... we are the ones that pay the high ticket prices. If you want to talk about overpaid and easy on the body... MLB!

A lot of awesome developments in the Charger camp.

Trimming the fat and adding big names for once.

[Daniel.]

At least Takeo Spikes went to my second favorite team.

It looks like Vincent Jackson is getting Franchised for 11million/1 year?

That seems to be what's going to happen, but with how much our cap we have left to spend I wouldn't be surprised if we locked him long term and saved ourselves a little bit of money and get some security at the #1 WR.

The defense is shaping up to be scary up the middle as well since Eric Weddle just resigned this morning. Going to have Antonio Garay, Corey Liuget, Takeo Spikes, (hopefully)Kevin Burnett, Weddle, and Bob Sanders. Try running directly into that.

Lets go fins!

According to FoxSports/MSN this morning, they’re making a play for Reggie Bush, contingent upon him signing a different deal with them.
Granted, he hasn’t been as great as we were promised over the course of his career, but who knows what might happen

It's not ideal but it needed to happen. The FA market is slim pickens and 8 teams were driving for him and 3 teams were very serious, even offering him more money than the Chargers did. I'm fine with the overspending though because it keeps a good solid player, and keeps secondary continuity. We should have a little bit more pass rush this year, and with Bo Sanders on the other side of him some more room to make plays and not coach the secondary mid-game.

Next year more big name safeties contracts will be up and the 40 mil will easily be overshadowed.

[Daniel.]

Yes, it's going to be a beastly middle defense for sure. Man I'm almost about to give up on my NIners. They should somehow just try and steal Patrick Willis while they're at it.

Anyone else remember how Spikes and Willis defended the middle while both wearing casts last December?

I can't believe the first preseason game is less than two weeks away.

We so excited!

[frsh4]

is it true that reggie bush is going to the miami dolphins? :[
can anyone confirm this.

mark ingram better deliver..i know bush was always hurt but he was still one of my favorite players to watch.

[ZenkiKid]

Dude... both Haynesworth and Ochocinco to the pats? Where the hell are the pats getting their money?!

[Daniel.]

They're probably swindling it from other teams.

[WERDdabuilder]

with all these moves....fantasy should be interesting this year.

[ALTRNTV]

LA moves one step closer to having a football team back...

[exitspeed]

I've been so busy I haven't even seen what the Pack has been up to other then signing a $11 mil deal with our Mason Crosby.
