Previewing Thursday Night Preseason Games

Football is back in America. With so many stories happening over the off season it is about time we get to see what each team looks like. Here is a brief look at tonight's preseason games.

Redskins At Bills 7:00 PM

Redskins: The introduction of Robert Griffin to the NFL. Will probably not play much but should be exciting to see how well he adjusts to the speed of the NFL.

Bills: Debut of DE Mario Williams. After a few years with the Texans "the guy picked before Reggie Bush" will get a chance to terrorize the AFC East. Vince Young also plays his first game with the Bills.

Ravens At Falcons

Ravens: Joe Flacco begins his contract year to prove that his worthy of an expensive extension. Ray Rice has already gotten his payday and will try to show that he deserves his contract.

Falcons: How has the team progressed? They didn't make any big moves other than signing Asante Samuel who is past his prime.

Saints At Patriots
 
Saints: In a battle of the NFL's favorite teams to punish the Saints play their second preseason under interim coach Joe Vitt. Vitt will leave the team after the preseason and then we will see how the team reacts to the bounty scandal. The Defense will also be watched closely.

Patriots: This team will always be a contender and this year is no difference. Brandon Lloyd plays his first game as a Patriot.

Steelers At Eagles

Steelers: First season playing without Hines Ward.

Eagles: Season two for the dream team. The defense needs to get it together and will the offense establish consistency.

Packers At Chargers:

Packers: after a disappointing end to the season last year the Packers will try to come back and win it all this year.

Chargers: a team that is always close but unable to finish, the Chargers are led by Phillip Rivers who is trying to prove that he is among the top 6 in NFL quarterbacks

Broncos At Bears

Broncos: PEYTON MANNING, 'nuff said

Bears: Need to find out who on the defensive side of the ball will fill in for Brian Urlacher.
