What team are you looking forward to... (1 Viewer)

Just interested in seein what teams the SP is interested in watching this year.

Not your favorite team, but team you have most interest to watch this year.

My favorite team is the Saints, with the Lions shortly after....but I do have to say, I will prolly be flipping to the Lions games more often on the Ticket.

I'm trying to say anyone other than Philly, because who wont want to watch them? lol

 
Looking forwards to watching the hype surrounding the Lions dissipate.

The Texans + a decent secondary could make a splash.

The Raiders could be interesting. I don't think Kolb/Williams live up to expectations in Arizona but it should still be interesting at first.

 
I look at it from a different angle since it's my job to write about this stuff. Some of the teams I find most "interesting" probably look like a pile of garbage to others. That said, teams I'll be keeping a close eye on early are the Seahawks, Vikings, Redskins, Jags and Cardinals. Plenty new moving parts to those systems and I'd bet a few waiver gems come out of them.

 
Last year i wantedto watch Singletary punch people in the face.

This year i wanted to watch Awesomewa and Revis but since that isn't hppening i'll keep a eye on Kolb and the Cards if they aren't in the sametime slot as the Eagles of course.

 
All of them.

I ####### LOVE FOOTBALL!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :excited:

 
The Eagles. I'm a Cowboy fan, but they're going to be an absolute freakshow this year with their young offensive talent and stud secondary.

 
I think it's going to be great fun watching how the Eagles-Giants-Cowboys unfold, most people understandably think the Eagles are the team to beat, I'm not so sure.

 
I looking forward to watching the Vikings without the having huge winning expectations. If fact, I like the fact that we are ranked last in the NFC North and not expected to win many games. If we upset a team or two it will be that much sweeter.

 
it's hard to write it, but i'm looking forward to seeing Carolina this yera - at least a bit. just because i wanna see how they are gonna run the offense (and because i like Smitty! :yes: ).

 
Possibly the Bears. Now that half of the city wants to put a bounty out on Jerry Angelo for letting Kreutz go........I am interested to see if this team can get the breaks it did last year. Or.......will the already reduced O-line continue to let Cutler get demolished and he quits on the team by week 8.

 
I might be alone here, but I really enjoy watching Chan Gailey's offense, so I'll be watching Buffalo a lot. :bag:

 
One team people have not said that I'm also am interested in, are the Packers.

They get six starters back after not having them for the SB run. Getting Finley and Grant is better then making any waiver moves.

 
lions jets patriots and the green bay packers but not the panthers i dont even care about them

 
Love to see so many Lions fans, they seem to be everyone's Cinderella team heading into this season which scares me. I've lived in Detroit now 40 years and I can say there is more optimism heading into this season than any other. Even when Barry Sanders was here and the team was a solid .500 type team there for a few years, there wasn't that feeling of something special may be on the horizon.

I'm not 100 percent sure why that is, I don't think it's only 1 reason. I think fans in general are just so giddy that they probably won't go 0-16 or 2-14 again. Even last year was 6-10, so realistically going 8-8 would be progress but I am getting the feeling that most Lions fans really wouldn't be happy this season with an 8-8 season and falling short of the playoffs. I think people here in Detroit are hoping to compete for the division title, although they know deep down that that is a tough task considering the Packers are coming off a SB victory and Rodgers is in his prime. If they fall short there, I think it's Wild Card or bust considering the defense that this team has put together, the potential they have in Matthew Stafford, of course Calvin Johnson and a young core of RB's that should be pretty good.

With all that said, it's still The Lions. Things just don't go well for them, it's the way it is. That's kind of the way it's been around here for just about ever, at least in the SB era. That and almost always when the public is on a team this early, whether it be the Lions or whomever, we usually aren't right. Las Vegas has made a killing on it forever, public opinion is usually wrong on these types of things. For some reason, it won't be Detroit, it'll be another story we didn't think of, like the comeback of Donovan McNabb and the Vikings. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford gets injured again, Calvin is out due to a back injury, Best has turf toe on 3 feet this year, and the Lions decide to play Suh at kicker all season.

Hopefully none of that happens and the Lions continue to progress and the general public enjoy watching them play, if anything is true, it is that the Detroit Lions are due. They are due, they are due and they are due.

Actually, I think the improvements made in Detroit are being under estimated. Having a healthy Stafford back is not even critcal as this team can win with Hill or even Stanton. Detroit has made significant improvements everywhere outisde of their offensive line, which was not bad last year. Perhaps there is still something they can do there. I see the Lions RB situation as much better, Titus Young will add some much needed speed at receiver, Fairley could very well end up their best pass rusher, the LB crew is night and day, and they have two new corners to help Houston out, both of whom should are better than people credit them. There is no reason they can't win 10 games.

 
AZ Cardinals - new RB maybe? (Williams, no Hightower) new QB? (Kolb) New #2/3 WR's (since Breaston is gone and maybe Edwards gets added?)

WAS Redskins - who's the QB/RB/WR's? There are Fantasy points somewhere in there .... looks like a disaster, can skellator make it work?

maybe MN .... can McNabb lead them? Harvin stay healthy?

I want to see Philly DEF play .... I want to see what comes out of SEA, I want to see Tebow play 16 games as a starter
