With the offseason done and 14 of 16 first week games in the books, might as well move our chats out of the offseason thread and into the bright new world of Season 2018.

Some important links

Bad Coaching Thread (a weekly highlight)


Weekly PEEHS reveals

LOL Steelers

Onto the football

The ashley12 power rankings (not indicative of SuperBowls odds due to loaded NFC but a general list I guess) as well as a generic statement of the team etc... (projecting for the four Monday Night teams)

TIER ONE
1. Vikings
2. Rams
3. Patriots
4. Eagles (with Wentz, 10ish with Big Dick Nick)

TIER TWO
5. Packers (33 with no Rodgers)
6. Jaguars
7. Chiefs
8. Steelers (assuming they get Le'Veon back soonish, their game was in a downpour which obviously is not a great fit for their team)
9. Saints (scored 40, somehow had more scored against them including a fumble-6, Im still high on them)

TIER THREE
10. Falcons (If Matt Ryan ever gets his head screwed on/they can produce half of what they did in 2016 under Shanny)
11. Panthers
12. Ravens
13. 49ers (there will be easier places to play than Minn away this year)
14. Chargers
15. Washington
16. Texans

TIER FOUR
17. Broncos
18. Lions
19. Cowboys (defence top 10, offence 31st)
20. Bengals
21. Buccaneers
22. Seahawks
23. Giants
24. Bears

TIER FIVE
25. Dolphins
26. Raiders
27. Browns
28. Titans
29. Colts (seriously, name one player on their defence)
30. Jets
31. Cardinals

TIER LOL
32. Bills

Couple of random discussion points/put your nads on the line

- Who will start week 4 for the Buccs, Fitzmagic or Jameis
- Will the Bills score a touchdown next week (home vs Chargers, presumably with Bosa back)
- Will Thursday night football be watchable this week (Ravens at Bengals). Will it be watchable any week)
- Mahomes or Watson this year by most metrics?
- Can we ask the NFL nicely to put the Packers (with Rodgers) vs Vikings game on Sunday Night Football instead of Giants vs Cowboys?
- How long will Sam Bradford last vs the Rams before literally disintegrating (no way they send Rosen out to get murdered by Suh/Donald and co)
- Bears twice in two weeks in a night game. Jesus NFL
- Getting rid of the hard count? Y/N

Finally, all these jerseys sucked







Chat away

In. Cardinals suck.

In

Hope Nathan Peterman gets his revenge opportunity vs Chargers next week

I thought the Bucs already said Fitz was going to start 1-4 a long time ago. Maybe they rescinded it.

Yes the Bills will score a TD. But lose 34-7.

Go Jets tonight! Knock out a bunch more people from survivor pools. That's the only positive with the Saints losing. Bears not choking would have been nice too.

In for

Buccs said Week 4 (when Winston comes back) was up for grabs before yesterday. However, given that performance it is pretty hard to bench that if he plays ok vs Eagles and Steelers.

- Who will start week 4 for the Buccs, Fitzmagic or Jameis

fitz

- Will the Bills score a touchdown next week (home vs Chargers, presumably with Bosa back)

yes, shady

- Will Thursday night football be watchable this week (Ravens at Bengals). Will it be watchable any week)

nah, nah

- Mahomes or Watson this year by most metrics?

mahomes not close

- Can we ask the NFL nicely to put the Packers (with Rodgers) vs Vikings game on Sunday Night Football instead of Giants vs Cowboys?

no ty

- How long will Sam Bradford last vs the Rams before literally disintegrating (no way they send Rosen out to get murdered by Suh/Donald and co)

slobby will have a fine year

Initially answered "Tall Guy from Stanford" but immediately realized he was traded. Then confidently went with D'Qwell Jackson.

Bills signed Vontae Davis to start opposite Tre White and then didn’t even dress him for the game yesterday.

Pretty sure every Bills player was undressed last game.

Going to Raiders/Seahawks at Wembley which basically guarantees a season ending injury to Carr in the next four weeks

Giants will deeply regret not drafting Darnold when they had the chance.

Giants still can't admit drafting Flowers was a mistake. Luckily the next pick was some bust named Todd Gurley.

also here for the week 1 overreaction takes.

Except for bears coach is a literal andy reid clone--look great for three quarters then be the biggest moron in the world in quarter 4 and lose some giant lead nobody else does.

Is it an overreaction to think that the Cowboys will finish last in the NFC East?

2 downs to get 1 yard and you are 96% to win the game. Bears pass incomplete (from shotgun) then kick a FG. Nagy seems to come from the Childress branch more than the Pederson branch of the Reid tree. Still probably a huge upgrade from Fox - seemed like he could script plays but once they ran through the opening salvo they didn't have anything left.

Mahomes might be the best QB in the league in 3-4 years and Watson might be out of the league.

Hope Tyreek keeps it up and we get a sweat on the alltime receiving TDs in a season record. Their skill sets are a perfect fit. If Mahomes had hit Tyreek in stride at the 45 he would have likely scored again and had 7-224-3 receiving line.

It's not an overreaction to say they will finish last in the NFC.

seems legit

I've never been a believer. The offense they run seems gimmicky and Belichick might have just showed the rest of the league how to defend it.

i mean, Peterman just got a week 1 start


seems pretty unlikely that Watson will be run from the league in a few years, unless he dies or something


week 1 @ New England coming off of a serious injury, i'd give him a few more games before making any bold proclamations
(but if you wanna get it on record that you think he's a fraud then sure whatever)

in for the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS and hopefully the start of....respectability???














I mean I see that and think Pirate-Angel for heaven come to finally save this ****ing franchise

RG3 comes to mind even though he's back in the league now. Yeah I'm not predicting Watson will be out of the league in 3-4 years. I just used that to expressed the difference in talent between the two imo.
