I'm going to start off by saying I've wanted to do picks for a while, I have just been beyond busy or in other words lazy. That being said let us start with the teams on bye this week. Also a quick note:I did not call the Thursday night game because if you watch a game between the Bills and the Jets, then turn around the next week and watch a game between the Jaguars and the Titans, God help you.
Atlanta Falcons (6-3)
What we have found out about Atlanta this year is that just because you look good in no way means that your good. Coming into this bye week the Falcons have suffered terrible losses to two teams who good teams just do not lose to, those two being the Buccaneers and the 49ers. The loss to the Bucs came at home so that obviously hurts, but to this point the Falcons may need this bye week to really find out who they are.
Indianapolis Colts (4-5)

They beat the previously undefeated Denver Broncos in Indy. Firing Pep Hamilton from a lot of people's standpoint saved the season and I myself agree, they looked very good on Sunday. The only thing that hurts them is quarterback Andrew Luck being out six weeks as a fan I really just want Luck to sit out for the rest of the season and play for next year but that does not seem like it is going to happen.
San Diego Chargers (2-7)
The Chargers have to have the most frustrated fan base in all of sports, they have an awesome Quarterback in Philip Rivers and yet nothing around him for YEARS. They recently to a tough loss at home to the Bears on a sloppy Monday Night Football game. It is worth noting that Rivers is having a heck of a year and his team has two wins on the year so I think he and that fanbase are on the same page. Their next two games are home against Kansas city then they have Jacksonville.
San Francisco 49ers
The Saints need to be responsible for the safety of all players and not just their own. Another issue they lack in is sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is a major part of football, without sportsmanship it doesn’t help anyone out. Saints did not show good sportsmanship what so ever, they didn’t care about the safety of others or the liability that was occurring (“What is”, n.d.). The situation says that the New Orleans Saints organizational culture is poorly managed (“What is”, n.d.). The system that they have going is unethical by the means of everyone invovled (“What is”, n.d.). They need to worry about safety, their reputation, fans, and more importantly the players. Even after all that has occurred in the bounty gate scandal there is hope. The team can rebuild their reputation. They can do this but earning their fans trust back by giving back (“What is”, n.d.). Giving back by showing them that the team cares. The Saints can raise money, donate money to foundations; foundations that deal with business. By doing so the New Orleans Saints can regain and earn everyone’s trust. The team itself has to practice responsibility, trust, integrity, and sportsmanship amongst themselves (“What is”, n.d.). From there their reputation will slowly rise
The Steelers overall have many strengths that should last throughout the entire franchise of the team. Even when having a short down year, the Steelers are never in rebuilding mode. When a team can go nearly forty-five years without many rebuilding seasons, it shows that the franchise as a whole from the owner, players, coaches, and fans is run the right
The Chicago Bears are known for having up and down years. But in the past they have showed that they can become the big powerhouse in the NFL. They have a very rich past and will sure to have a very rich future. The Bears are one of the greatest legendary teams there is.
back to the championship and winning it against the cardinals just like before when they beat
...s left Baltimore to play in Indianapolis, where they haven’t had a championship season since they left.
In December of their first season they opened on a high note defeating by 27 points
NFL teams are practicing lightly so far this year, training camp is multiple weeks away, and the first preseason game isn't going to be played for months. The new defense has not been completely installed yet and neither has the new offense. We do not know whether the special teams unit will be as effective as it has been the past several seasons because Chip Kelly's practice schedule is no longer in place to provide extra reps and the overall depth chart isn't even being considered at this point because players are currently sporting shorts and t-shirts on the field.
...t not have been good through those 8 years, but during those years we were signing and drafting some of the best coaches and players of the game to this day.
Since the Cowboys would be facing the Eagles on Sunday I took it upon myself to watch the game between the Eagles and Falcons on Monday night being that we play both teams in these next two
They also have one of the most loyal fan bases, which can be represented by the fact that season tickets have been sold out since 1960. They are considered one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history. The history of the Green Bay packers is legendary, and have been and always will be one of the greatest franchises in the history of the league. Some might even say the greatest.
There are great times noted in the past. One of those great teams in the San Francisco 49ers. They have made history and are known as one of the type franchises in the history of the NFL. The 49ers are considered a dynasty to the media and fans. The 49ers are respected greatly for their Super Bowl achievements.
However, the term “Cinderella” can also be applied to the NFL and more specifically to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams, who are led by first-year head coach Sean McVay and second-year quarterback Jared Goff are riding a four-game winning streak and in first place in the NFC West.
on the team. In the Rams debut season, they went 1-10-0. I know what your thinking, they've always stuck, but that's not true. In the Rams 67 year history. They have won 3 NFL championships.
The Rams already have a pretty stacked offensive rushing player in Todd Gurley and solid receiving corps with players like Tavon Austin and rookie Pharoh Cooper, but their quarterback position has been shaky the last couple of seasons and the three players eyeing for the position this year haven’t been too bad this preseason. Case Keenum is most likely going to start, unless he is injured or either Jared Goff or Sean Mannion just do something amazing in the last preseason game. That begs the question, what will Goff’s role be as the number one overall pick. He will most likely turn into the #3 QB and won’t make any starts this season, unless Keenum comes down with an injury. Even though Prescott will get the opportunity to start for the Cowboys, Goff will be in a better position because he isn’t on a team that will most likely finish last in their division. The Rams might be in the division with the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers, but they have a team that looks good enough to beat out at least two of these teams this upcoming year. If the quarterback position, whoever it may be, can stay solid, the Rams have a great opportunity to even make the playoffs. Jared Goff will be able to learn a lot quicker when his team is winning games instead of losing them, but this doesn’t mean that Prescott won’t be a great
The light from the sun reflects off the pure white wall, illuminating the room. The dust floats, undisturbed by the empty house. This is what I see as I launch myself out the door, into the hot summer air, into the sounds of playing children.
