LA Chargers: A 2017 Season Preview

21st September 2017 by Chris Rivers Leave a Comment

It is out with the old and in the with the new for the Chargers this season. Having moved out of San Diego and in to Los Angeles, they quickly got rid of head coach Mike McCoy after four years at the helm.

Former Buffalo Bills running backs coach Anthony Lynn was the man chosen to led the Chargers in to this brave new world the Spanos family has decided to throw the team in to. Many believe Dean and his family must already be living in LaLa Land if they think this switch will work but could there be light at the end of the tunnel?

Tennessee Titans: A 2017 Season Preview

15th September 2017 by Rory Fitzpatrick Leave a Comment

In the timeless words of Swiss Tony, being a Titans fan is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. You spend months thinking about how fantastic this is going to be, before realizing very quickly that your mother was right; you will always be a disappointment.
I could end the season preview there, but the powers that be want a full dissection of how it feels following each team in the league, and I am sure Patriots fans struggle to sleep at night without hearing how much it sucks to support any other team in the league. So, here goes nothing…

New Orleans Saints: 2017 Season Preview

14th September 2017 by Ben Wright Leave a Comment

Every season I begin optimistic, as are many of the fans from the other 31 NFL teams. The dream of lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy in Minnesota in February is on everyone’s mind at the beginning of week one. As a Saints fan I loved hearing the comments from Adrian Peterson last week saying that we want to start and finish the season in Minnesota. He clearly has a trip to the Super Bowl in mind. A lot had to happen in the Saints off-season for this to happen. The changes the fans were calling for last season were beginning to happen. New coaches for the line backers, defensive line and the secondary. This was key as I believe the message was getting stale from the coaches who were there for so long. Maybe the new blood will inject some energy into the leagues worst defence for the past two seasons…

Minnesota Vikings: A 2017 Season Preview

2016 was a very strange year for fans of the Minnesota Vikings, after finishing the 2015 season with an 11-5 record (albeit culminating with an agonising play off defeat to the Seattle Seahawks) hopes were high that the Vikings would carry on in the same vein and get back to the play offs as a minimum. The start could not have been better as the Vikings went 5-0 which included impressive wins against the Green Bay Packers and on the road in Carolina against a Panthers team who had appeared in the previous seasons Super Bowl…

LA Rams: A 2017 Season Preview

13th September 2017 by Patrick Toal Leave a Comment

The Rams were a tough team to predict going into the new season, although expectations were generally low. They had a dire 2016 season with few redeeming features. After a strong start the team went 4-12 on the season, losing 11 of their last 12 games. During this span they were at the bottom of nearly every offensive category, with rookie QB Jared Goff looking lost, previously promising sophomore player Todd Gurley looking average and a Rams receiving corps that wouldn’t look out of place on a high school team.
