I was expecting better things from the new special teams coordinator. The defense is frustrating, they're either playing great or like they did against the Eagles.
The wide receiver thing is a work in progress, losing the number one receiver and having the second most productive receiver get injured in the first series really hurts the depth in that position.

I'm swearing off the Dolphins. All the media meatpuppets are talking about how much Tannehill has matured and what a victory all of his decisions are, but they aren't scoring many points. Their games are painfully slow to watch. No more golf claps, complete a drive and score something other than a field goal!

OK I'm in the home stretch for watching the last preseason games.
My impressions:
The Jets - Geno getting his jaw broken is a blessing in disguise. I'm feeling better about them after 4 games than I was at 2 games.
The Eagles - It looks like Tebow might have a roster spot after the Barkley trade. I still think they take their division.
The Redskins - Cousins looked good, but I expect bumps along the road. However I don't think that uncertainty is enough for them to keep RGIII.

Poor Tebow, released yet again.

I don't see Bradford making it through the season. I also think the Jets dropping Flynn was a dumb move.

I don't see Bradford making it past week four, he's way too fragile. What's the Jets' QB situation? I know Geno Smith is out for awhile, do they have sufficient backups?

Smith might be back in 6 weeks and if Fitzpatrick goes down they have Bryce Petty. I would rather have a productive veteran on the roster than Bryce Petty.

Yeah, they really should have kept Flynn, he's a solid backup.

Well the only division I picked correctly is the NFC North based on preseason action. The midway point of the regular season is quite different.

That's why I put no stock in preseason performance. Practice games are for coaches, not fans. Fans are suckers for participating.
Because I said so.
