I'm not saying Peyton will fail, but he won't ever be himself. Dude was declining before the surgeries, after he's going to be worse. He was never a great post-season QB either, so don't count on that. The only thing he had was his stats, and don't think that Denver is going to be throwing it all the time like Indy did, those will fall too.

Manning will have an average stat game, and maybe bring the Broncos to the wild card depending on how the other teams in the AFC West do.

Either way, expect a good Steelers pound and ground week one against Manning and the other ponies.

Please do, I would very much like Denver to be pounded around a bit so we can deliver a nice knock-out blow.

So Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles, he plans to be back mid season. If his estimation is correct, he'll be back for both games against the Steelers (The first one starting week 11) so it doesn't really help us. Although it could end up making the Ravens perform less on defense.

Apparently he got hurt doing work outs at home. Ouch.

Terrell Suggs, Balls So Hard U would tear your Achilles too.

This kind of injury, from knowing "soccer" injuries, is a good 6-9 month lay-off. But that's a game where you have to at least jog for 90 mins, so he might be closer to the 6 month mark. I doubt he'll make it back.

That'll come down to how well the rehab goes really.

All I can say is that's 1 of the worst leg-related injuries you can get. Took Edge out for a longass time few years back, I believe.

I think Edge tore it completely though. Suggs only has a partial tear, so it's not AS bad.

The so called "experts" gave the Steelers a B+...

While they gave New England, New York, and Cincinnati an A. I can agree with people saying Cincinnati had a better draft than Pittsburgh, but saying New York and New England did is ALL the usual politics that NFL does. They can't EVER say that Pittsburgh did something good, can they? They said the Chiefs did too.

That B+ is their way of saying "We think you had a fantastic draft, but we can't really recognize it on the front page because we don't like you".

With that draft, Pittsburgh turned their horrible line into one of the bests in the league. You can argue that Cincinnati had a better draft, and I'd say in the end, Pittsburgh is winning the division anyways, but you can still argue they had a better draft. New England, the Giants, and the Chiefs, DID NOT have a better draft than Pittsburgh.

So today I got to sit out of doing a mile run in P.E. because I got a 100% on a football quiz last week. And people said my football knowledge would never come in handy.

Damn, I wanted the Packers to draft LaMichael James. I do love Jerel Worthy though, I can't believe he fell to the Green and Gold, he's so much more talented then that. I hope we can address our awful run game this year though. At least Grant will be gone (hopefully).

[Yes2J]

I thought DeCastro was a phenomenal signing, and I hate the Steelers (or at least, I used to). Sorry about Ward man. I think that sucks. That's like the Packers not resigning Donald Driver, I'd rather have him play and do mediocre than not have him on the team at all. It's an issue of mutual respect.

Texans honestly need more offense. They lack depth in Offense.

Texans had the 2nd rated D, what do they draft? D. Insane, they are building it to be an unstoppable force.

With Foster and Tate, a fit Schaub and Johnson, they will be scary.
