Who to Root For - Week 2 Edition


Clawsome2

Recommended Posts

Here it is boys and girls, the weekly who to root for. Last week was a complete dud for the over-hyped teams (see Bengals, Jets, Cowboys, Chargers) and a complete surprise for the nobodys (See Washington/Tampa) So here are my weekly picks, along with where we would stand in the division barring the best outcome of the weekend. Winners in Bold

Tampa @ Carolina - Matt Moore will get his groove back and will calm the crowd for at least one more week.

Buffalo @ Green Bay - The pack just lost Ryan Grant to IR for the rest of the season. This is why preseason predictions always never come true, pull here for the upset bringing Green bay back to the pack.

Miami @ Minnesota - Minnesota deserves to lose this one. Not only for being the only franchise to beg their QB out of retirement, but because an 0-2 record would help Carolina ahead in WC contention.

Chicago @ Dallas - It really is a tossup here, I'm tempted to pick the cowgirls here just to even things out, but seeing them suffer at 0-2 would be sweet. Neither the Bears or Cowboys has looked very good this season.

Arizona @ Atlanta - No question here, lose their home opener, and the Falcons have a lot to worry about. A so called runner up in the division struggled against the Pittsburgh no offense squad. Call them overrated.

Philadelphia @ Detroit - Take Detroit here, not too much hope for that franchise, and they deserve a W for effort after that BS call last week. Detroit is going anywhere, and Philly may shoot for a WC.

Baltimore @ Cincinnati - Root for the Bengals this week, anything short of a W here and the spotlight will be on them for week 3. Carolina is ALWAYS the rebound girl for teams that are going to struggles. You don't want to see this helpless team come to Charlotte 0-2.

Seattle @ Denver - Denver here FTW - No brainier, root always for the AFC vs NFC.

ST Louis @ Oakland - Two scrub teams that the W OR L will not mean to us.

Houston @ Washington - Houston finally gets the redskins off their high horse. I don't hate the redskins, but they need to come back to the pack.

Giants @ Indianapolis - AFC Vs NFC - Giants need to be 1-1, Eli will lose to his brother.

New Orleans @ San Francisco - Alex Smith will put up a fight, the 49ers will cause the upset of the week, and Sean Payton will steal pills from the team pharmacist, everyone wins.

If all that happens Panthers could find themselves in a very good position tied at the top 1-1 with NO, TB, and ATL at 0-2.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
