2023 NFL Regular Season - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The best thing in the whole wide world would be Womp going to the lowly Raidahs and winning the whole mother****ing thing. I believe I would take another 20 years of Cowboy mediocrity to have that happen to SRM, just so I could giggle a little.

Across all known realities there exists one outcome where the Super Bowl ends with Womp beating the 9ers

Nothing will stop the Jets, bongs by day, shrooms all night. The pure bloods are here. All will cry in misery as the Jets hoist the Trophy

As great as FPI is, though, there are factors it doesn't consider, so I reserve the right to stray from the strict formula as necessary.

Him reserving the right to stray from the "strict formula" leads to the following:

2. AFC NORTH
FPI ratings (6.4 overall):
Cincinnati Bengals: 4.6 (4th in NFL)
Baltimore Ravens: 2.0 (10th)
Cleveland Browns: 0.2 (17th)
Pittsburgh Steelers: minus-0.4 (19th)

3. AFC WEST
FPI ratings (9.7 overall):
Kansas City Chiefs: 6.4 (1st in NFL)
Los Angeles Chargers: 3.0 (7th)
Denver Broncos: 0.9 (13th)
Las Vegas Raiders: minus-0.6 (20th)

I wouldn't even object if it was his strictly subjective list or about entertainment value. But using FPI as your base is just stupid if you want to come up with a list like that.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting this. Will be interesting to see how it plays out

Also, there’s a ton of contract stuff still to get done before the season starts.

Burrow, Bosa, Jefferson…probably Mahomes.

interesting, I do think barnwell probably needs to exclude such obvious ones though

everyone in the world knows vikings are likely to regress or bears likely to improve, the bears won 2-3 games!

Cobb was, but has been washed up for years.

Lazard has been getting the rock thrown to him by the games' best QB his whole career (2 MVP awards by his QB in those years) and he has managed one year of over 500 receiving yards (and less than 40 yds/gm) when the last few years there has been virtually no competition in the receiving room.

Hardman looked good the first few years of his career, but after playing his whole career to date with a top 3-5 QB in today's NFL you would expect better receiving numbers than 36.5 yds/game.

It is fascinating to see Godgers a few years ago had one top 15 pass catcher who never got replaced and then he gets traded to a team with one top 30 WR and the NYJ are trying to unload pass catchers (mims & elijah moore) while KC did the opposite - they start their QB with two top 15 pass catchers and when they lose one they replace him with 4 pass catchers. I think it is over confidence in Godgers ability and a total lack of confidence in patrick.

With allen lazard going down in practice today (not sure how serious the injury is yet) that opens up the possibility that Godgers goes into another year where his #2 and #3 targets are guys who would get cut or forced into pay cuts on multiple teams in the NFL. Corey is looking at his first 1k yds season and with hardman's upgrade at QB he may finally unlock the potential he hasn't shown since college.

It sure would be nice to have a mims or elijah moore if the lazard injury is serious.

49ers QB Sam Darnold was named the team’s No. 2 QB. He’ll be the backup to Brock Purdy to begin the season. This further puts the future of former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance in some doubt.

i hate you, but this is not the depth chart of a serious team

Let's not forget about the 3rd rounder included as well!

San Francisco in the trade up to No. 3 in the 2021 draft sent their 2021, 2022 and 2023 first-round choices, along with a third-round pick in the 2022 draft to the Dolphins.
