I mean, you need a half yard. You have a 6'6" 250 lb QB. And you do a trick play???? Not just that, but a poorly executed trick play. It was telegraphed from the get go. What ever happened to "you get you biggest guys, I'll get my biggest guys, and we'll see who can get push @ the LOS"? Why have a FB on the roster if you aren't going to use him @ that moment?

Baltimore's got a good O-Line, but they're lacking in depth up front. Their receivers are still a question mark until they prove they can do it consistently. The pass rush is worse than it's been in years, and the team is already dealing with injuries to Tavon Young and Jimmy Smith on the back end while expecting 16 games from Earl Thomas is a tall ask at this point. I still think that through week 1 Baltimore looks like the favorite to win the division, although Cleveland will have a free win this week after the Patriots gave Demariyus Thomas mono and traded him to the Jets so he could take out their starting quarterback. |

I think it might end badly, but I’m willing to give that a go

I would favor us by 5.5 points.

That's the reason the Dolphins didn't sign any of us. We are too good and might mess up their tanking plans.

This is a bit much. The Ravens played an absolutely putrid team in tank mode. They are not a Super Bowl caliber team after week 1. No one is except for the Patriots. The Ravens have no QB. I don't care what Jackson's rating was after one game against a non team. I'll take Arizona's QB over theirs any day of the week, and I didn't think Murray is an NFL quarterback. There is no wishful thinking about it. If the Ravens go anywhere this year it is due to their defense. Which remains to be seen.

I think the AFC has a lot of parity, I could see the Patriots, Steelers, Ravens, or Chiefs making the Super Bowl, and maybe even the Titans, Browns or Chargers.

It's only been week 1 so not a good sample size. But in the AFC I see a Chiefs/Patriots Championship game. I see the Chargers as another quality team, but no one else IMO. The Browns, Ravens, and Titans may emerge but we'll have to see. We need 4-5 more weeks to see if anyone can compete with the big two. The Steelers? Not making the playoffs. The NFC has the Rams/Saints as the big two. Eagles/Cowboys/Bears/Packers/Vikings to challenge. We'll see who's for real within the next few weeks. But any team I didn't mention, not going to the Super Bowl. It's easier now than before the salary cap. Last edited by Ragnar; 09-14-2019 at 07:23 PM. |

Yeah, I don't get the Browns hype. They were under .500 last year and all they did was add OBJ. Seriously, his he worth several wins? Some of the media crowned them offseason champs. I bet they finish 8-8 at best. They're not beating Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

One WR can mean a lot. The Cowboys were 3-4 last year then added Cooper. Then they went 7-2. |

I honestly don't know why refs can't get it in their heads to let the play run before blowing their whistles. It seems like the simplest thing to do.

How about the illegal crack back block they called on the Saints? How is that illegal when he was behind the LOS going forward, not working his way back to the LOS. Am I missing something here? |

Dolphins. But it's a lot closer than it should be... I've heard on sports radio a few times that the Dolphins will struggle to win 3 games. Speaking as a life-long Miami fan, I'm thinking that is an overly-optimistic scenario. I actually think they are a near-cinch to go 0-16, and will be hard-pressed to lose more than three games by less than double-figures...
Cowboys and Chargers will destroy them... vs Redskins, could be close... -ish... too soon to say where the 'Skins are... They'll lose by 15-20 to a mediocre Bills team in Buffalo... Steelers will trounce them... They might give the Jets a decent game since it's at home... Colts will destroy them... Rematch at home vs Buffalo might be close... Browns should handle them easily... Eagles will kill 'em... Jets and Giants should beat them by 20+ in back to back games in NY... At home against the Bengals could be close; hard to say what a week 16 game against Cincy will look like at this point... In the finale in Foxboro, the Pats' 2nd-teamers should put the whoop-azz on by 25 points or so... It's gonna be ugly. As Rick Pitino might say, "Dan Marino, Mark Duper, and AJ Duhe are not walking through that door..." |

I haven't gotten game pass yet so I haven't seen that Titans game but what I've heard from game reviews is that the team didn't take their tackle problem seriously enough in the offseason and it showed as Cameron Wake dominated. Also the defense at times was running this strange scheme that allowed situations like Derrick Henry's long screen pass touchdown. It looks like Freddie Kitchens might be out of his depth running the team, but it was only one game |
