― Mordy, Friday, 31 August 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
my problem w/ assessing schedule strength preseason is that the NFL is such a volatile league i.e. no one pre-2011 season would've counted an out-of-division game against the niners as one of the toughest draws in the league

yeah, strength of schedule stats are out of date as soon as they are compiled.
looking thru quickly, nearly every team the eagles are playing has a chance of being decent this year. who knows what the skins will be like this year, and then divisional games can be a crapshoot anyhow, look at that division last year. i would say eagles really want to win those first two roads games vs cle and az

@AlbertBreerCan't recall a more disastrous trade for a club than the Kevin Kolb deal has been for Arizona. Just catastrophic for that club.

probably a good amount

― k3vin k., Friday, 31 August 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
i am just repeating what i have read elsewhere, but supposedly kolb isn't bad, he's just a horrible fit for their offense and always was. but, eagles surely knew all about him and never thought twice about him being a long term starting option, certainly by the time they moved him.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 31 August 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
it would be hilarious if the cardinals went through all this w/ kolb then released him only to see him be competent for, like, the texans or something
― young money color me badd (J0rdan S.), Friday, 31 August 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
i guess he would work best with possession and inside receivers, i.e. fitz totally wasted on him. so maybe someone like the titans could make something out of him? i bet he could do a cassel type job if brady died, moreso than mallett, who actually might be more use for someone like the cards, with his downfield arm that the pats can't really make use of.
it is certainly possible, though, that the real problem is he is a bit shit

yeah, worst team in league almost def― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, August 31, 2012
i would venture that the jags, minus mjd, is the worst team in the league
― This cad needs a cordial introduction to Eugene of Oxbow. (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 1 September 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
well for jax it all hinges on gabbert. if he gets that 2nd year bump and can put in a half decent showing he has a couple new wide receivers and a decent TE to target. obviously they have a long way to go on that side of the ball as i think they were last in the league last year even with mjd, but even a middling offense together with similar production from what was one of the better nfl defenses last year, and it's not too crazy to think they might scrape a winning record from somewhere. you definitely can't put any kind of scenario like that together for arizona. plus jax surely aren't even the worst team in their division, they have to do better than indy.
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 1 September 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link
i watched some video on the phoenix newspaper website (i was looking for conspiracy theories about what philadelphia knew + when) where they were discussing who cards should start at QB (this was before they went w/ skeletor over kolb). anyway, they have this few minute long discussion weighing pros and cons of each and then one is like: "between these two choices, and the rest of the talent on the team, does it really matter who they go with in the end?" and the other person was like "no, that's a good point. it really doesn't make any difference to the cardinals season."
― Mordy, Saturday, 1 September 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
gabbert was unbelievably bad last season; i'll be v. impressed if he shows anything this year.
