9-8 Sounds about right.

Since we both went with 9-8, how many of the losses (based off who you believe we will lose to above) will be 1-score losses

I'm not sure TB wins the division. They have Tom B. , but not Bill B. Its hard to repeat and even though they kept everyone they basically stayed pat. Everyone else is getting better. One or Two key injuries and their season can really take a hit (like anyone else's).

I think they are the best bet to win but I don't believe its a sure thing. In that light my predictions are:

NO- 11-6

TB- 10-7

Car- 10-7

Atl- 6-10-1

I think Winston throws for a Billion Yards with only 20 interceptions (35 TD's) this year and their defense and running game carry the Saints to the division title.

We pick off Winston 6 times in 2 games but still only manage to split the series.

The Bucs sweep us

We sweep Atl.

Maybe... im just not so sure about NO... they aren't even 100% confident that Winston is their guy. It was just the best option to keep him seeing as there CAP was terrible and what it would've took to trade up for a QB. They would've drafted a QB if one fell, but one didn't and they still went with one a QB in Ian Book.

TB: Didn't have any holes to really fill. 

ATL: Defense still doesn't scare me

NO: We will see how much was Drew and how much was Sean (not the same but similar us wondering what we'd see in brady without bill)

Edit: (NO) the culture won't change but that locker room sure will. I hope he uses the "eat a W" speech before playing us

At this point, are you convinced that those victories were all Bill Belichick?

we'll do better than last year, if Darnold is even slightly better than Teddy, which is my minimum expectation given the return of CMAC and the improvements we've made + last year's rooks having a year under their belt.

the division winner will be the one team that doesn't hover around .500, most likely TB at this point

we have a shot at a WC spot if we do well against the division

ATL or NO will be the dog, not us

We'll do better than last year based off the improvements we made to the defensive side of the ball.

Darnold's ceiling is definitely higher than Teddy's, absolutely zero question about that. Darnold's floor is much, much, MUCH lower than Teddy's.

Not at all...but I think the system he employed (along with Brady) proved to stand the test of Time. Im not sure about Bruce's system in Tampa.

Bills system seemed to be: i have Tom Brady, go win with what we got

Bruce's system seems to be: whatever you want Tom, we'll bring em in

Well, if NE looks the aame as they did last season, I think you have to start chalking up that NE success to mostly Brady and much less Bill.

That was always going to be the interesting thing about that split, who ended up being more successful.

Yeah- But Tom got the better landing spot. The Bucs were primed with young talent and weapons. Last year Bill pieced together a team. I think for the first time in a long time he was lost a little without Brady. They have really made a lot of moves this offseason. This year will be interesting in deed to see if Bill can be as sucessfull without Brady, (Brady's already made his point on that).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
