2014-2015 NFL Regular Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If they use about 360-375 RB carries and everyone is healthy-
Bell- had 244 last year and missed 3 games. I think 200-240 seems like a good number
Blount-between 80-120, depending on game scores. May spell Bell so they can be more selective when using Bell
Archer-probably has between 20-50 runs unless he supplants Blount. I know this sounds low as hell but the math for total runs by RB is consistently around the same number. He may snag some of the 16 or so WR runs they use. I know 5-7 touches sounds easy to give someone but that's a lot in a pro offense for a gimmick type guy. I hated the Archer pick cause players of his profile rarely amount to much. Archer also doesn't return punts or at least never has.

I was assuming they use him like tavon/mccluster/Cobb (before Cobb broke out). Line up him in the slot as well as some stretch and screen plays.

Definitely. As they should. Screen passes are one of the few things Haley and Ben see eye-to-eye on, and while Antonio Brown is no slouch, I'd love to see Archer catching those.
 
Do I think the Steelers will be a Super Bowl team this year? No.

But do I think they finish below .500? No.

Browns, Ravens, and Steelers should all have better records than last year.
Bengals might have a worse record (even if it's only by a game)
 
how bad was that Ray Rice apology press conference. I'm glad his wife apologized for getting beat and he made a great analogy about getting knocked down and then getting back up.

Absolutely pitiful. In case everyone on this board didn't have enough of a reason to root against the Ravens. I can't wait for Rice faces the three defenses in this division and looks like he took an 800-story elevator ride with Solange Knowles.
 
And the Bengals just made a bad decision

^have to wonder what the guaranteed side of the contract looks like. That's quite a bit of $ for Dalton. NFL contracts are so nuts in that regard, but it's hard not to pass judgement on that contract and call it an overpay...

Dalton better continue to improve or this is good news for division opponents.
 
Best thing about the offseason

More on arrests of Steelers RBs LeVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount:

Bell and Blount will be charged with marijuana possession following a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon. Ross Township detective Brian Kohlhepp said traffic officer Sean Stafiej pulled over a Camaro operated by Bell around 1:30 p.m. after Stafiej, who was on a motorcycle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Stafiej found a 20 gram bag of marijuana inside the car. Bell, Blount and a female passenger all claimed ownership of the marijuana according to police. Bell, 22, was taken to a hospital to have blood drawn and is expected to be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. Bell, Blount and the female passenger were arrested and released. All three are expected to receive notice of formal charges through the mail said Kohlhepp. The possession and DUI charges are both misdemeanors. The Steelers play a preseason game in Philadelphia on Thursday.
