Atlanta snapped him up, that was a good pick up for them. Their defense got shredded by Green Bay in the playoffs last year.

What the hell is Minnesota thinking?

In the other hand, Atlanta's receiving corps might be the best in the league, along with the chiefs and new england.

I think Green Bay's receiving corps is right up there too.

I think Minny has had a rough offseason. Losing Rice and Edwards hurt and they didn't do much else other than sign McNabb and they better hope that works out.

Have to strongly disagree on the Falcons receiving core. Colts, Packers, Saints and perhaps even the Cowboys and, dare I say, Jets, have a better receiving core. Could've added Ravens to the mix with Boldin, Mason, TJ and Heap, but Mason and Heap were cut. From a purely statistical stand point for 2010 for yards per game, Falcons were in the middle. By that standard, though, the Jets and Ravens shouldn't be considered. Julio Jones has a lot of potential. Personally, I wouldn't mind a Michael Crabtree type of performance, being a Saints fan and all ;)

Arizona has Heap now, and I don't think the Ravens are bringing back Mason.

You can't count out the Texans receiving corps with Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. Jacoby Jones is decent too, never been a fan of Kevin Walter though.

I like how quietly the Rams have been adding since the draft. Mike Sims-Walker it's a good receiver that should thrive with the Rams. At first I thought it would be the Pats the team trying to sign him.

BTW Matrix: Im not reading anything about Braylon Edwards signing up with the Falcons. Quite the contrary, it seems he will join the cards (That would be phenomenal).

Randy Moss is retiring. Shame really, ending his career on such a bad note.

It's truly a shame because he's really talented. After the incident in Minnesota, the only team to try and pick him up were the Titans. The Titans told him they wouldn't be resigning him.

By now, someone else would've picked him don't you think? Maybe he didn't want to remain a free agent, so he decided to retire? That's what I'm thinking...

From Jason LaConfora:

Randy Moss was gonna be selective about teams/QBs that made sense. Looks like right options did not develop. Wish him the best in retirement

Oh I was talking Ray Edwards, my bad :p

Can't say I'm surprised about Moss retiring. He probably had a few teams he wanted to play for and they didn't give him the deal he wanted, but he'll be in the HOF for sure.

Don't worry the Dolphins might still get Orton NFL Network is saying. They still might circle back and get him around the first week of pre-season.

I do understand your concern though, Matt Moore? Ouch.

I might pick up Daniel Thomas in fantasy as my 3rd back now though :p

Your optimism alone will help me get through this season. Lol!

Thanks for the cheer up.

Np, good to hear! :)

You can't go into a season with no hope! (Unless you're the Bengals :unsure:)

I think there are players on the Dolphins that have a lot to prove this year like Bush, Marshall, Orton (if he ends up there), and Daniel Thomas will no doubt want to impress. The problem is your team is playing in a very tough division which never makes things easy. Sparano has a lot to prove as well because he knows he could be out the door soon if things don't improve there.

I like the Dolphins and I'm hoping they have a good year. It will be very tough to make the playoffs, but hopefully they can build a strong team to compete with the Jets (eww) and Pats.

Going to the Falcons v Packers game on October 9th, my 22nd birthday (love my falcons) AND the Cowboys v Giants on new years day!

Oh I'd love to goto another Cowboys game. I went one my anniversary (believe it or not) and had a good time. Only game I've ever been to.

Nice man, good for you!

I've got to get to at least one Seahawks game this year! Not that I really like them, but they are the closest NFL team to me :p

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
