When the NFL opens its season, the replacement officials will still be
patrolling the fields. The league
and the regular officials have been unable to come to an agreement on a new
contract. I don’t think this will
take to long to fix, after the teams and owners get a bad call against them in
week 1, they’ll be all over the league to work out a deal as soon as possible. The replacement officials have been far
from perfect in the preseason. No official
is going to be perfect but at least the real guys are better and more consistent.
On Wednesday night we start the road toward Super Bowl XLVII, as the
Super Bowl Champion New York Giants kick off the season at home against their
rivals the Dallas Cowboys. It's been an interesting offseason for the
(National Football League) NFL, Payton Manning and Tim Tebow have new homes and
four rookie quarterbacks will start the season.
In the (National Football Conference) NFC we have been pretty much drama
free. In the East the Super Bowl
Champion Giants are strong, and I think primed for another Super run but as its
been said it’s hard to repeat. The
did lose some big parts of that Super Bowl winning team (Manningham and Jacobs
to SF) but new guys will step up (Jarrel Jernigan, Ramses Barden and David
Wilson) and make a big impact. The
thing I would worry about with the Giants is the health of the offensive line
and can those guys all stay healthy.
Sometimes the key in the NFL its how well teams deal with injuries. The Washington Redskins might surprise
some people with rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Philadelphia Eagles are always a
though test, they just have to keep Michael Vick healthy. The Dallas Cowboys have potential;
right now I think they’re a mess.
In the South this might finally be Atlanta’s year with Matt Ryan. Out West the San Francisco 49ers have a
bunch (Mannigham, Jacobs, Moss) of new weapons.

In the (American Football Conference) AFC, we have the drama with Tim
Tebow. In the East, The New York
Jets signed Tim Tebow this offseason for (backup to Mark Sanchez, I think he’ll
be the quarterback of this team eventually) the Wildcat offense. They’re going to let Mark Sanchez run
the offense for most of the game and then bring in Tebow and the Wildcat. The Wildcat is a gimmick that doesn’t
always work. In the NFL if you
have two quarterbacks who can start, you have no quarterback. (chaos) Besides having two quarterbacks the Jets have an offensive
line issue. The New England
Patriots always have something up their sleeve with Bill Belichick and Tom
Brady. The Miami Dolphins have a
rookie quarterback and the Buffalo bills are around a .500 team. In the North the Pittsburgh Steelers
and the Baltimore Ravens are always tough, the Cleveland browns have a rookie
quarterback but the Cincinnati Bengals might surprise people. Out West Peyton Manning has a new
address in Denver with the Broncos.
