Postcards from Camp

Summary

Lost last year amongst the murder, season ending injuries, a new Dugas baby, and again...murder, the Merry Men actually made the playoffs. A cakewalk schedule against the AFC East and West helped. If the Merry Men were in the NFC they would have had a top 3 pick this year, but that is the way the cookie crumbles and the Merry Men found themselves vying for a trip to the Super Bowl. This is until reality set in and they lost by 30 in the divisional round. Let's see what is in store for the Merry Men this year...

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford counted to infinity...twice

Critical Question

Can the Merry Men stay healthy enough to compete in what is looking like a much tougher division in 2014?

Player to Watch

Matthew Stafford, QB (DET) - One of my favorite things to do is to tell Steve that Stafford is just okay and that Russell Wilson is better. He gets all riled up and starts talking about Stafford the way people talk about Chuck Norris. "Kevin? What? Jesus Christ. Matthew Stafford is going to be #1 this year and stop the war in the Ukraine."

Lineup

Matt Stafford, Andre Ellington, Demaryius Thomas, Jeremy Maclin, Kendall Wright, Dwayne Allen, Stephen Gostkowski, Jordan Reed

Outlook

The Merry Men will be fine...most likely 6-7 wins. They probably miss the playoffs by a nose and then Steve can work to rebuild his RB group in 2015.

Projections

6-6-1; 3rd AFC West
