Break me off a piece of that...

I dub this:  My holiday.  I'll be focusing on baseball until our RFA auction begins, so unless I run into something big between now and then there likely won't be any posts.  Enjoy the off season folks!

Reasoning:  I tried to start with Pythagorean Scoring and then adjusted that for predicted defensive scoring bumps with the new tackle scoring.  I put heavy emphasis on injury bounce backs and light to moderate weight tweaking based on what I perceive to be the likelihood of trades taking place.

*No RFAs are used to make this lineup.

Weaknesses:
None, and I hate you.  QB maybe?

Likely Off Season Targets:
Definitely looking at unloading a TE but not at a discount as Gronk has had his fair share of injury woes.  Maybe trading for some cash?

Hypothetical Trades:
Aaron Hernandez for CJ Spiller - happened.

2013 Outlook:
Well damnit.  John won the 2012 title and looks just as strong heading into 2013.  With the out-of-nowhere Russell Wilson explosion and a (relatively) cheap pickup of Aaron Hernandez, Kommissar Anderson has elite talent at all positions and extra assets to trade.  This is abbreviated, but not by much.  There's no reason to expect less than 10 wins again in 2013, and it will take--dare I say it?--a hero to keep another title free from his clutches.
