How seriously are you taking this year, as a whole?

Just generally watching every NFL game I can, I can’t remember a time I have seen so many awful teams. A lot of rosters are fuged because of COVID. Like the 49ers, last in their division with 5 wins. I feel like if it wasn’t for COVID they’d be much better. Limited prep time preseason, subing players, rescheduled games, cancelled practices, injuries galore etc.

Hell when is the last time a 3 win team (Eagles) had a good shot for the playoffs post halfway in the season, until recently (now the 5 win Giants are on top). And the Browns are 9-3, what in the hell? The NFC is bad...you might have teams with losing records make it.

Reminds me of the time we made it several years back at 7-8-1...apparently it has only happened 4 times in NFL history. And two of those only happened with a 9 game season.

But it’s not just the records because trash playing trash won’t tell you anything. Some of these teams are playing like it’s a preseason game or worse, even ones with ‘good’ records.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m truly thankful for football and to be honest they have done a lot better than I ever imagined. But watching these teams I can’t help but see how this pandemic is affecting the quality of the season.

This whole year is a wash.  From kindergarten to NFL.

Yeah, just thankful sports are on and there is good news on the horizon with the vaccines. A title is a title but if you gonna suck (or boycott watching) this is the year to do it.

Congrats man. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, right? 

1970-1983. Then my father got transferred to AL. Which worked out because I swore off the Steelers for a couple years after they passed on Marino. He’s still my favorite player ever. 
 

   Getting through KC to get there is gonna be tough. They needed to lose. But losing D. Bush and Dupree is starting to have a big impact.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
