Another NFL season is upon us and once again the New Orleans Saints are expected to be one of the elite squads challenging for a Super Bowl title. The reason? Drew Brees who seems to be getting better with age, Sean Payton who has to be considered one of the best coaches in the game and the Superdome.
The Carolina Panthers will head into the 2014 season looking to build on a remarkable 12-4 season last year that saw them win the NFC South and elevate to near elite status in the NFL.
Is there any team in the NFL more poised for a bounce back season than the Atlanta Falcons? Seriously – how did this team go from perennial contender to a 4-12 season last year?
The St. Louis Rams enter another season full of promise – promise that Sam Bradford can finally shake the injury and inconsistency bug and can take the Rams to a different level.
The Arizona Cardinals will try to build on a terrific 2013 season in which they won 10 games and almost qualified for the postseason. A lot is starting to go right in the desert – Coach Bruce Arians looks like a savior as he heads into the second year as Head Coach.
The San Francisco 49ers enter the 2014 season as third betting choice to win the Super Bowl in February. And why not? The Niners have been to the NFC Championship game three straight years; they have 10+ wins in their last three seasons and are coming off a 12-4 campaign.
The reigning Super Bowl Champions begin the season in pursuit of a very difficult goal – a repeat Super Bowl performance. The Seahawks opted to mainly “stay the course” with their roster- to stick mostly with the players that saw their defense dominate and their offense do enough to get them to the top of the mountain.
It was a season of change in Philadelphia last year with a new head coach at the helm for the first time since 1999. Chip Kelly moved to ranks of the NFL after a very successful stint at the University of Oregon and quickly put his unique stamp on this team.
The Dallas Cowboys have been stuck in neutral for the past three seasons with a record of 24-24 and it has been five years since they last made an appearance in the postseason.
Anytime you start a new season with six-straight losses, the prospect for turning things around becomes extremely bleak. Give credit to Giants’ head coach Tom Coughlin for circling the wagons with a 7-3 record down the stretch to end the 2013 campaign with a respectable record of 7-9.
The Washington Redskins’ roller-coaster ride over the past three years from worst to first to worst leaves us with many more questions than answers heading into the 2014 season.
Tom Coughlin enters his eighth season at the helm of the Giants and has proven himself to be one of the most resilient head coaches in the league today.
The Dallas Cowboys came into last season confident that they had a team that could legitimately compete for the NFC title.
Mike Shanahan decided to go into a new direction entering his second season as Washington’s head coach after a disappointing 6-10 record in his debut in 2010.
When the Tennessee Titans fired Jeff Fisher as their head coach, Philadelphia’s Andy Reid became the longest tenured coach in the NFL with the same team.
