Who To Root For Week 1 Edition


Clawsome2

Recommended Posts

Yes because you can never start too early! Maybe it's a bit too obvious, but week after week this will become something to look at. I want to win= BOLD

Carolina Vs New York- No need to mention this ass kicking repeat

Minnesota Vs New Orleans - As much as I hate favre, I absolutely would love to see that stupid dome hush the hell up. I want this to set the tone for the aints to bounce back to where they belong.

Cleveland Vs Tampa Bay - I don't wish nothing against jake, I actually wish him success, and with that team taking its "L"s early, it would be bittersweet.

Atlanta vs Pittsburgh - Could dixon pull the upset? Can home be an advantage knowing the drop off they have in their qb situation. I can only hope somehow they pull the win.

Miami vs Buffalo - Not relevant but will throw in my pick just because i can.

Cincinnati Vs New England - Our opponent in week 3, I wish the patriots expose them for who they are, ovverrrratttedd. But again, it doesn't matter who wins.

Indianapolis Vs Houston - Underdog brochacho. Take the underdog if you are a betting man. Irrelevant pick again.

Skip the rest of the irrelevant AFC

Detroit Vs Chicago - Take chicago here, anything but a W here and chicago may be hungry for their first win oct 10. I rather want the panthers to face a struggling team than a desperate team.

Arizona Vs St. Louis - If this game ends in a tie, it would be a victory for everyone. St Louis is far, far away from being a contender, so stealing a W here may give us a leg up on Arizona for a wild card (if needed)

Green Bay Vs Philadelphia - Ugh, tough pick. Green bay really looks unstoppable, but a dreamer can dream. What if the panthers had a shot at the #1 seed (rolling eyes)- do we root for upset or do we root against philly's chance for 1 up on a wild card? Give me the eagles.

San Fransisco Vs Seattle - Seattle really has a struggling team, root for the Seahawks against the 49ers (the probable div winner).

Dallas Vs Washington - I hate and despise the cowpukes. Absolutely wish that they get destroyed and embarrassed and never see above 3 wins this year. NEVER root for them. Take the skins.

i would say Giants/Panthers will probably be 1 of the 2 more competitive games

the last team the G-Men hosted in the old stadium were us, and we flattened them, and the first team they will host in their new stadium is us. this game will just be ugly in some way

then you've got the Vikings and Saints rematch of their championship game last year, and you know Brett remembers getting absolutely battered by the Saints defense in that game so he's gonna have it out for them

besides that none of these other matchups have a unique backstory, if they have any backstory it's just division rivalry.

i was going to start this thread just now, but make it one that could run all season. :(

I've only got 5 this week. The rest of them are inconsequential.

For Min, Pit, Cle, and Was in addition to the Panthers. Almost always root against all the teams that these are playing.

I usually do that, but I have Jonathan Stewart on my fantasy team. Should I even play him? Do I really want him to score?

I'm in the same predicament my man.

I got stuck with your Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks (reserve)

And since I decided to take some late round chances on Vincent Jackson and Sidney Rice, I'm stuck having to start one of them along side Jeremy Maclin and Larry Fitzgerald.

I NEVER play players from the opposing team of the week on my fantasy team, but in this case, I'm stuck..

    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st. 
    • Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
