OT: NFL 2019

[tardigrade81]

Cardinals.

Ya it’s hard to tell with them this year. They have looked so good and so bad at times.

 

[tardigrade81]

That is a really tough question. So many contenders this year. So many quality QB's having really good seasons. I'll say Rams,but again, really tough.
Going to be some really fun playoffs this year, I think.

Completely agreed. Crazy to think Seahawks, Rams and Cards can all get in. That division is so tough.

 

[tardigrade81]

I’d say it depends which team makes it out of the NFC East.

Giants - I’ll say Bucs, because I don’t think they’ll handle a mobile QB well AND there’s something about the Giants vs Brady in the playoffs.

Cowboys - I’ll say the Packers. I’m a Pack fan, but their run D has had some holes. It could be a shootout and I think the Cowboys have the playmakers to stick with them.

Washington - I’ll say the Cardinals. I think Washington’s front four are athletic enough to minimize Murray’s scrambling and force some inexperienced mistakes.

Eagles - I’ll say the Bucs for the same reason as the Giants.

Valid point. Tampa is the same as Arizona in my opinion. By that I mean, I just don’t know if they are pretenders or contenders. One week they look insanely good, like they did against the Pack. The next week they completely crap the bed like against the Saints twice. They still have Brady and a decent defence, so they will be tough for any team but I don’t have Tampa as a SB Contender.

Tom Brady is always a SB contender.

Tom Brady is always a SB contender.

I don’t disagree with that, but Tampa hasn’t done anything to make me think they can beat the Saints

granted the Saints (outside of their Super Bowl year) do have a tendency to lose in the playoffs.

Thank God we have NFL and college football to tide us over till hockey arrives again.

 

[Stoneman89]

The Ravens seem to be in stories like this disproportionately this season. This time, according to reports, it was one of the trainers that got careless and disregarded protocols and brought it on.

Lots of new players. If they are in complete sync by the playoffs I bet they can beat anyone.

HOWEVER... I hope not because Tom Brady winning is getting pretty old.

Just waiting for Biden to shut everything down in January though...

Gotta be the most incompetent organization in pro sports history.

Wow.

The Belichek coaching tree strikes (out) again.

The weird thing is it certainly seems the owner was clear that their jobs depended on making the playoffs..... which makes their shuffle in the secondary make no sense. You take Okudah 3rd overall - which is perfectly fine, but then you sign Trufant and trade Slay. Why not just keep the better CB in Slay? Because you could get a 3rd and a 5th? Dumb. It’s just one of many questionable roster decisions.

That Broncos/Saints game has to be the lowest total passing yards in a game ever.

The starting QBs combined for 10-25, 91 yards, 0 TD and 3 INTs.

I ran with Hill at Fantasy QB today, and got lucky due to his two TD's. Don't think I'll press my luck next week.

One playoff win in 63 years so you are correct sir.

Those two morons should have been canned after last season. Hell, they should have been canned after Patricia's first game when the Jets and future Bust of Famer Darnold carved them up on Monday Night Football.

Slay hated Patricia like so many other players and wanted out.

At least COVID will provide us with a Tuesday night game to fill that evenings sports void.

Is that game still going to be played?

Now there is also issue with snow in Pittsburgh causing issues with Baltimore's travel plans

As of right now, I think it is. But the schedule has been pretty fluid so far, so who knows.

 

[Stoneman89]

Saw that new female ref again yesterday in the KC/Tampa game. Not too shabby.
