I think the South is going to be competitive this year AG. Not sure on the Panthers and but us and the Saints look similar with you just ahead IMO.

Could even see 3 of us making the playoffs

Will certainly be a competitive division with plenty of offensive fireworks.

Expect it to get its usual minimal lack of feature on Sky though, as they continue their AFC North love-in by showing at least one of the Ravens or Steelers every week.

That suits me to be fair. I don't like the Sky coverage that much and prefer watching Gameday Morning on the NFL Network and the full Fox coverage we get on Gamepass.

September can't come quick enough for me now though. A playoff win would be great for the Tampa Bay area. Apparently we have sold more season tickets this year than any of the past 3 and that was before we traded for Revis. Playoffs would bring full crowds back next year so here's to hoping.

In other news, the Jets have cut Tim Tebow this morning. I would be surprised if he plays another down as an NFL QB. If you can't get a gig with the Jets, you don't have much hope.

Happy we addressed a lot of our needs in the draft. Think safety and running back are the only positions we're lacking in a bit of quality and experience. Four months until the season starts, way too long. Giving serious consideration at the moment to going over to St Louis for the season opener against Arizona!

I really liked the Cardinals draft, they really strengthened the defensive side of the ball. Definitely needed with the strength of their division, anybody think PP21 can keep the Honey Badger under control.?I was impressed when the Rams picked up Steadman Bailey and Tavon Austin, and the Packers picked up two decent running backs.

More than happy with my Steelers draft. Jarvis Jones a decent pick at 17. Good value.

Tim Tebow to meet up with his old boss who made him a good QB?? now at Chargers? Also Chargers looking to strenghen up with looking at byrant McKinnie of Baltimore LT.

So whos happy and whos not?? with only free agents and maybe trades left.

Im pretty pleased with the chargers squad now since the draft. Defence is looking real good and full of youth. Te'o Butler and Ingram could be a force in the future. Our offence looks decent with obviously Rivers whos a good QB, Matthews, Woodhead to run the ball and a WR bunch who look much better than with have had in many years. D.A, Floyd, Allen, Brown with Royal, Meacham and some UDFA to fight for other spots.

My main concern is our OL. We desperately need a big strong guy on our left side. Maybe one more and as long as we stay free of injuries I can see us going for a wildcard spot behind the Broncos especially with our fixtures.

I got blown up by Jermaine Allen yesterday, at least I can say I've been taken out by a former NFL player.

Quite happy with the Steelers, I think we drop out of the "elite" bracket in 2013 though. Built really well in the draft, some good picks. If you look at Hawthorne who we took out of Illinois, he was rated top db for 2013 draft before last season. Landry Jones makes sense and we got a cracking little player in Shemarco Thomas out of Syracuse. Would like to see Jarvis Jones take some snaps off Worilds, also wouldn't mind us looking at somebody like Breaston to add a bit more to the wideout core.

They already dropped way out of that bracket in 2012.
