Predict the score tonight


Recommended Posts

Just curious, why do people keep predicting blowouts? In 13 weeks, what have you seen to keep predicting we'll get blown out every week? Our worst loss of the season against the Bucs, we lined up for a 2 point conversion with 11 minutes left in the game with a chance to make it a 7 point game, then it unraveled at the very end. We have never been dominated start to finish, not even close. Maybe it's funny and somehow makes you feel good to create the illusion that we're the Jets, but our identity has consistently been a scrappy competitive team with too much of a talent discrepancy to consistently win. I don't think we'll see anything different tonight. I'd be far less surprised if we win than if we get blown out. I'm guessing something like 34-24, where we come up short on a 4th quarter drive to tie it, and Green Bay kicks a meaningless field goal with like 90 seconds left to make it a 2 possession game.

you serious clark?

Yes. How badly did we get blown out by the Chiefs in Kansas City or against New Orleans with a healthy Brees? Do you watch the games? I guess we'll see whose prediction comes up closer and then we can all laugh about how stupid one of us is.

That was a long time ago and with Cmac.

 

Spread is 9.  thats a lot in the NFL.  This is going to be brutal.

I predicted a blowout because 1) Rogers, 2) Weather, 3) Rookie wall. Even so, I think it's fairly close the first half...within a score. I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Panthers hang pretty close given Rhule's emphasis on teaching them to win in December.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
