Continue reading →: Perfect 53 Man Roster 2019
Last year, I made my own version of Bill Barnwell’s “Perfect Roster.” The idea is, following certain criteria, to build the best team you can fit under the NFL’s 188.2 million dollar cap. This year, I’m bringing it back. This is my version of the team. Below are the criteria…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders 2019 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback It’s hard to believe the Raiders won 12 games in 2016. They were never as good as their record suggested that season, finishing 19th in first down rate differential and winning 12 games largely because of an unsustainably high turnover margin (+16) and a 8-1 record in games decided…

Quarterback During the 2017 off-season, the Chiefs had veteran Alex Smith as starting quarterback, going into his 5th season in that role. He hadn’t played badly, but the Chiefs still had higher ambitions at the position and opted to trade a pair of first round picks to the Bills (27th…

Quarterback The Broncos won Super Bowl 50 at the end of the 2015 season, in Peyton Manning’s final season with the team, but Manning really struggled that season, as did backup Brock Osweiler, who made 7 starts while Manning was out with a foot injury. Manning and Osweiler finished the…

Quarterback The Chargers went just 18-30 from 2015-2017, but a lot of that was bad luck, as they had a 7-20 record in games decided by a touchdown or less. In 2018, their luck swung the other way and they went 6-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less,…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers 2019 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Packers have had some disappointing seasons in the 8 seasons since their last Super Bowl appearance, but none more disappointing than 2018. The Packers have had seasons where underwhelming defenses and running games have caused them to lose earlier than expected in the post-season. They’ve had seasons where…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions 2019 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback For years, the Lions have had a solid offense held back by a struggling defense. In 2016, they finished 12th in first down rate and 29th in first down rate allowed and they followed that up by finishing 15th in first down rate and dead last in first down…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings 2019 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback In 2017, the Vikings made it all the way to the NFC Championship with backup quarterback Case Keenum, who took over as the starter week 2 after Sam Bradford got hurt. Keenum had a career QB rating of 77.8 in 5 seasons prior to 2017, but he finished the…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears 2019 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Bears were the most improved team in the league last season, going from 5-11 in 2017 to 12-4 in 2018. There were a lot of reasons for their improvement, but a big one was the improvement of their passing game. Rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky started 12 starts in…
