Pigskins Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 30 Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears were like a McMahon family dinner in December of last season, losing their final five games and failing to score even 18 points in all but one of them. Jay Cutler, the twenty million dollar man, was benched for Jimmy Clausen and Marc Trestman was lamer than a lame duck, he was a lame duckling. Everything unraveled for a team that, with the talent they boasted on paper, should not have been being embarrassed the way they were. So what does 2015 hold for a team that quit on their head coach and may have the most overrated and overpaid starting quarterback in the history of the league? That is why the Nugget Blog is here, my friends. DUN-DUN.

Pigskin Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 31 Washington Redskins

Washington, only a few seasons removed from an exciting playoff run and a window to a promising future, is now in the middle of an identity crisis. They don't know what to do at quarterback, their head coach might be a tragic disappointment behind a name, and their defense might just be coming off one of the worst team defensive seasons in history. The Redskins need a game plan under center before they can ever move forward.

Pigskin Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 32 Tennessee Titans

In Mariota we trust. Like, a lot. The Titans passed up multiple trade offers, reportedly, in order to get the quarterback of their future. Unfortunately, having a good, young quarterback isn't the only success factor for a winning team. Do the Titans have enough talent around Mariota to compete in a relatively weak AFC South?
