Continue reading →: Houston Texans 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Texans have gone 18-14 over the past 2 seasons, since ex-Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien took over as head coach of a previously 2-14 team. They’ve done that despite remarkably playing 7 different quarterbacks: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Case Keenum, Tom Savage, Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden, and…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback Given that they had gone 12-0 in division play in 2013 and 2014, winning the division both times, it looked inevitable that the Colts would win the division again in 2015. Instead, the Colts lost 2 divisional games and finished 8-8, in 2nd place in the AFC South. It…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Titans have been the worst team in the NFL over the past 2 seasons, in terms of record, going just 5-27 in 2014 and 2015 combined. However, things are definitely looking up for them and they could become a factor in the playoff race once again this season.…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback There was a time last season when the Chiefs won 11 straight games, the final 10 games of the regular season and a victory over the Texans in the first round of the playoffs. However, that came after a 1-5 start seemed to end their season. The Chiefs rallied…

Quarterbacks Aside from the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, I can’t think of a single team in recent memory that won the Super Bowl despite having a passing game as bad as the Broncos’ was in 2015. It’s arguable that the 2015 Broncos’ passing game was worse than the 2000 Ravens’ because…

Quarterback Even though the Chargers finished last season 4-12, Philip Rivers was one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL once again last season. How is that possible? Well, for one, the Chargers were a lot better than their record suggested last season; if last season had been played 1000…

Quarterback Since losing the Super Bowl in 2002, the Raiders have been the worst team in the NFL record wise. Over the past 13 seasons, the Raiders are 63-145 with no winning seasons. However, things are finally looking up. They only went 7-9 last season, but the team took a…

Continue reading →: New York Giants 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback For the first time since 2003, the Giants will have a new head coach on the sideline other than Tom Coughlin, who went 110-93 in 12 seasons in New York (including playoffs) and won 2 Super Bowls, but was let go this off-season after 4 straight seasons missing the…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Redskins were arguably the league’s most surprising playoff team in 2015. They came into the year with just 7 wins in the previous 2 seasons combined and didn’t even have their own #2 overall pick in 2014, as a result of the Robert Griffin trade, in which the…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Cowboys went 12-4 in 2014, but fell all the way down to 4-12 last season. Defensively, things didn’t really change much for the Cowboys from 2014 to 2015, as they finished 26th in rate of moving the chains allowed in 2014 and 21st in that metric in 2015.…
