Payton wanted the new rookie RB to become a game changer and make a name for him on day 1. Risky move & mistake...the other side of this is what just happened instead.

Horrible play calls. Right guy in there. But run off tackle a quick toss...

Payton list them the game. Hats off to GB's d-line

seriously though

I can't think of a team that can beat Green Bay

Rodgers is simply too good and they have an elite defense to back him up.

everyone is on the Patriots jock but Brady is a choke artist and hasn't done poo for half a decade, and the Eagles will barely make the playoffs and will probably get bounced in the first round

calling another Packers vs. Steelers SB

Can't see them losing to the bears, and unless Houston's pass D has improved ten-fold I can't see that happening either

Bears still have a great defense and Cutler isn't as bad as people say. I can see the upset happening, especially given how poor the Saints special teams was(def starting Hester next week lolz)

then the Texans.. they definitely improved their pass defense, and their offense has always been good.

who knows, 2-1 is probably more likely than 0-3 but 0-3 would be sooooo good

Steelers would have to hope they don't have to play the pats in the playoffs, brady owns their defense. SD might come out of the AFC.

I'm going GB over Balt in the SB.

Saints have a better D then I think we saw tonight and cutler won't have the protection nor the receivers to make so many of the great one on one plays that green bay had working tonight. As for Houston, Joseph was a great signing but I'm not sure the new defense wade

Phillips installed coupled with Mario switching positions will be firing on all cylinders by week 3 against an offense like the saints. Here's to hoping you're right though

Definitely true. Pats could very well draw Jets AGAIN for their first round, and their defense seems to have Brady's number.

I think it will come down to how Haynesworth plays. If he somehow returns to his Titans-form, we could be seeing a d-line better than 2007 Giants. Like, scary good. Historically good. It's scary to think about Wilfork and beast-mode Haynesworth on the same field.

I'm going GB over Balt in the SB.

Baltimore is overrated. Their defense is old as fuuu, and Flacco has played like ass his last two postseason appearances. I don't think he has that "next level" that other QB's, even Mark Sanchez have shown in the postseason.

Somewhere in Denver, John Fox still thinks this is a running league

Don't be fooled by tonight, folks. In 2010, teams with 100-yd rusher were 87-34 (.719), while teams with 300-yd passer were 47-49 (.490).

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
