The mortgaging of the future for Robert Griffin III still plagues the Washington Redskins – the Football Gods are punishing them for some odd reason – maybe it’s the logo, maybe owner Dan Snyder is being paid back for something he did in a past life. The Washington Redskins ranked 26th in points scored last season and 29th in points allowed – ugly indeed.
It is hard to believe that the New York Giants went just 6-10 last season and that this team has made the playoffs just once in the last six seasons. Eli Manning had one of his best statistical seasons as a pro last year and Odell Beckham exploded onto the scene but injuries on both sides of the ball in key areas really hurt this team where it counted the most – in the standings.
The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2015-2016 NFL season with typically lofty goals and seemingly few reasons to think that those goals aren’t completely attainable. The Hawks remain one of the best coached teams in the game, they have a balanced offense that added a key piece in the offseason and they still own one of the best defenses in the game.
The St. Louis Rams will enter the 2015-2016 NFL season with their annual sense of optimism, but seemingly few other reasons to think that they can challenge the top dogs in the NFC this year. No longer will the Rams have to sit on pins and needles with every preseason and regular-season snap praying that Sam Bradford doesn’t get hurt – he’s Philadelphia’s problem now.
The Arizona Cardinals looked to be on a path toward the Super Bowl last year before a string of bad luck derailed any plans to advance deep into the playoffs. After a 9-1 start, the Cards lost four of their last six games, lost Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton to injury and subsequently fell off the radar.
It is hard to imagine a team having a worse NFL offseason than the San Francisco 49ers. Any hope of improving on an uber-disappointing 8-8 campaign from last year took a hit seemingly every week when the season concluded.
Things certainly weren’t boring in Philadelphia this past offseason! The team wiped the slate clean, got rid of franchise running back LeSean McCoy and starting QB Nick Foles and their best receiver Jeremy Maclin left for Kansas City.
There are always a lot of unknowns heading into any NFL season, but if there is one constant – it is the fact that things WON’T be boring in Dallas!
