The One-Eyed Man is King: 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Preview (and Open Thread)

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 13, 2024August 13, 202465

2023 PREDICTION: 4-13 2023 REALITY: 9-8; not good, but good enough for the NFC South title The 2023 season was a good one for the Bucs, mediocre record in a trash division notwithstanding. They exceeded expectations. This was down to two (and only two) factors: Baker Mayfield emerged from his cocoon as

Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss: 2024 Carolina Panthers Season Preview

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 12, 2024August 12, 202481

2023 PREDICTION: Bad (6-11) 2023 REALITY: Worse (2-15) Truly a testament to the power of the human will, these Panthers. "Parity" has been the battle cry of the league since the salary cap was introduced in 1994. "Offense Über Alles" has been the official NFL religion almost as long. And yet the Panthers

Horatio Cornblower - August 12, 2024August 11, 2024137

Inspired by some controversy in last week's draft about movies based on disasters, this week we're going to be drafting board games. The rules are, I hope, very simple: if it's a game that involves a board, you can draft it. If it's a game that does not involve a

These are the teams that will take to the pitch, and our SWAG's as to how they will perform. Take with the appropriate grain of salt. Also, trying sommet new, format-wise.
