Is she the new lead over McDonagh? Thank god. I'd rather listen to a screeching cat than McDonagh.

Edit: Tessitore is the lead guy going forward. Also totally fine with that.

Nah, this is their year for once. That division is in shambles a bit. Denver is a mess with coaching and offense, KC is in a transition year with Maholmes and Oakland might win the division if the year was 2001.

If they stay healthy, sure, they have the best roster in the division. They never stay healthy.

Besides, Mahomes is ready and will surprise people with how good he is. The offense will be dynamic. Just a matter of whether or not the defense can be competent (not holding my breath).

Bill says here that he's not sure that the #2 QB is on the roster right now (Taylor Heinicke and Garrett Gilbert are "competing" for that spot). Good, because I definitely do not feel comfortable with either of those players behind Cam. He's only missed 3 games in his career, but he's missed series here and there. Aside from bringing back Anderson, whom they've already seemed to have moved on from, Matt Moore might make some sense. If not him, then Mark Sanchez is really the only other one that seems to be a decent option. Kaep notwithstanding, of course.

That's good to hear. I really hope we get to see a healthy Luck this season.

seahawks won't finish with the worst record in the NFC unless wilson misses ton of time.

they've lost some good players and are far from safe bet to make the playoffs but 4-12... no, just no.

Is it time for the prediction threads yet?



This is year 4 for him, right? Could they walk away from a 3rd overall pick without even granting him that 5th year?

The Chargers have a really good team on paper but they just have the worst luck so they'll probably get screwed by injuries again. They've already suffered one big injury with Henry being out for the year.

+ They have Rivers who is good for a few meltdown games a year in which he throws away game and loses composure

They already have declined the 5th year option on him. Must feel that amount is too high given his performance in year 2 and 3 so far. Don't want to have that 5th year locked in.

As for Seattle, it's hard to imagine them better than 8-8 this season.
Rams clearly the best team in the division.
SF, Jimmy G looked great late last season, and we'll see how he performs now that teams have game tape of him in Shanny's system.
AZ, see how long Bradford lasts before Rosen gets to be the starter. He'll have his ups and downs.
Seattle, Wilson's health will be the key for them. Have they fixed their OL with a new position coach? Didn't really add much talent to the line. That will be the deciding factor for their season. The defence has so much change with Avril, Bennett, Sherman, Chancellor gone. Can the secondary guys besides Griffin who they drafted in 2017 step up to fill the holes on the backend? That's what they banked on. And they need to resolve the Thomas situation. Either extend the guy or trade him. He's seen what happened to his buddy Kam who suffered a career ending injury and he entered last season on the final year of his deal, but got an extension at the beginning of the season.

He didn't know Shanahan's system. They ran the concepts he was familiar with. Plus the whole "they have tape!" takes are pretty dumb since Shanahan's system has been in the league forever.
