NFL Preview / Preseason Discussion - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

oh my god there were so many mistakes in OP but my jaw dropped at this

THEY GAVE OUT A FIFTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLAR FREE AGENT CONTRACT TO JAIRUS BYRD

and THEN they signed Champ Bailey and drafted a cornerback in the second round

Their non-$54 million safety was a first-round pick last year and is already one of the better safeties in the league. Their #1 cornerback was signed last year in free agency and is a top-10 corner.

Roman Harper, who is a safety and not a cornerback, plays in Carolina, BTW

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Carolina did draft Tre Boston but I don't think he's practiced yet. I'm assuming he'll take over for Harper at some point in the season although not likely soon.

I'll take your bet, loose

I don't bet sports but what the hell.

Sure. How much would you like to wager? 100 v 200? More?

Oh, and the Lions will win the NFC North.

This is pretty much how I envision this NFL season, but I comfort myself knowing this isn't the NBA and you have no idea what team will be good.

Pete Carroll read this post, thought about himself, the Super Bowl, next year's Super Bowl, and then got hard and ****ed 3 prom queens.

Marshawn prolly going to find out how replaceable he is IMO. Fun player, but not one Hawks need to overpay.

Full year of Percy, Wilson improves, D still GOATS. Gimmick still gimmicks. Lots of winning.

I missed the Tomlin "not about that" or whatever, what was that in reference to? I've seen it mentioned a few times.

If Cutlers' even an average QB he should look really good this year, so that'll be interesting to find out.
Stafford is probably getting to the age where with the guys they've brought in its kinda **** or get off the pot in terms of him ever being a top guy.
If gross incompetence leads to Brian Hoyer somehow starting more than one game, we could get to see one of those seasons that we'll talk about for years to come as a paragon of inept quarterback play.
Watt+Clowney should be a lot of fun to watch, especially if that offense can find a way to score enough points that teams actually have to pass.
The Pats have some pieces to be really aggressive on defense, that should be cool.
Will the Panthers be playing with 3 RBs on the field every down by midseason? Because they should probably at least consider it...

I find it incredibly amusing that in the span of a few hours you somehow decided you needed to post this again after noone responded to this really important piece of information the first time

Im fairly confident NFL season will be better than the terrible OP.

-------------------

NFC

1. Seattle
2. GB
3. Philadelphia
4. New Orleans
5. SF
6. Ari (I know, not bold claims)

AFC

1. NE
2. Indy
3. Denver
4. Cinci
5. Miami
6. SD

6 to miss

Buffalo
Jax
Oakland
Tampa Bay
Minnesota
St.Louis

Number 1 pick, Oakland.

Tidbits

GOAT gunna GOAT it up again, NYJ will be an abomination but will still be talked up as a chance to playoff even when they fall to 4-6. Dallas defence will be WOAT but it will be entertaining watching every game end 49-42 at least.

Luck will be good. Indy will be poor. I'm fading them to win the division.

the afc is incredibly uninteresting atm. new england will win 12 games like always. denver will be the same. cincy will win 10 games again despite a bad qb. then youve got the bills, dolphins, and titans who put up the same 7-9 season every year that no one cares about and the jags, browns, and raiders will all be 4-12.
