NFL - Random Opinions

lol

Not sure if it's accurate, but discussing it on the phone earlier I was told this deal was made when the Rams were 3-5. That means this was probably penned about a month ago.

 

This is a historically bad team for drops. DHB can stay as a #2 outside WR but we need a #1. There are rumours the team wants Desean Jackson back. He'd probably be an upgrade but not worth a fortune.

 

Gotta say no to D. Jax. I would rather see the Eagles draft a WR rather than go after what is still rumored to be a locker room problem with decreasing upside.

I think there will be some solid options in the first round this year for a #1 wideout and the Eagles will be in a prime position to take one.

 

We don't own our 1st. We will need the Vikings to suck some more. I was an advocate for a OL or possibly a CB in the 1st round if a good one was there but I think WR if you see someone you think will succeed has to be the #1 option for this team. The line isn't bad but they have to hold up for too long.

 

By forcing that pass on the 2-point conversion Matt Ryan has handed the MVP to Tom Brady or a Dallas player. Voters will remember how he cost his team a win here.

 

I'm aware of their first round situation Joe, but it still points them in position to land a top receiver in this class. They just have to pick the right guy. *THUMBSUP*

Right now the Eagles would pick somewhere between 16 and 20 (depending on today's outcomes). If the Vikings miss the playoffs that pick is still likely to be in that range.

If you go back over the past 5 drafts and you will find roughly half a dozen players that were available in that range or after that would be a solid #1 option for that receiving group. You'll also notice that the players taken before that are at around a 50% success rate, with 5 (possibly more/TBD) being worth their respective draft spot.

 

Let's get a predictive opinion here. The Bills are making the playoffs. They could still blow it today but I see them winning their final 3 games vs the Browns, Dolphins & Jets. With or without a win vs the Steelers that is double digit wins and I think it will get them in with tibreakers. Even if they lose to the Dolphins they have a good chance if they beat the Steelers. It could come down to Miami vs a resting New England.

And as I am about to push Submit McCoy gets a hard diving blow helmet to helmet t the back of the head. Scratch all that. That could cost the game and season.

 

Well the Bills are falling apart now. Typical. LMAO.

 

If the Bills lose it isn't over but they need to win out and have the AFC West to slip up. Next week will be important on Thursday and Bills vs Steelers.

 

I'll stick with it. Bills will be in but they need to upset the Steelers next week.

 

I just noticed that if the Bills lose they still have at least 1 realistic scenario to qualify at 9-7. Will be interesting.

 

The Bills have the feel of a team that could go on the road and upset an AFC favorite in round 1. It's one of those teams that would view that playoff game with the same hype as a Super Bowl berth.

 

I love the race as much as the games themselves. All these scenarios get the nerd in me fired up.

Bills would be a dangerous out. Last night was disappointing. If only this team was healthy all year. For their sake they better at least finish with a winning record. Rex isn't perfect but they are getting something done there. It would be a shame if it was blown up and restatrted thanks to changing things up for a new coach.

 

The AFC north winner may get in at 9-7 but I dont think anyone else in the AFC is getting in at 9-7.

 

AFC South should be no better than 9-7 if the Colts win next week vs the Texans. 8-8 could make the playoffs there. And we could see a 9-7 wildcard team, although the odds are long. We'll have to revisit that in a couple weeks.

 

Anybody else really like Jared Goff? Been watching a lot of him on YouTube today. I'm not saying he will be anywhere near as good as Peyton but, he reminds me a lot of Peyton. He gets rid of the ball very quickly, he also tends to put his receivers into danger just like Peyton lol. He does need better awareness (obviously Peyton is way up there in that regards), but that should come with time. I think him and Wentz could have done very well in Dak's shoes. Offensive lines are really underrated, if Rams can dump Jeff Fisher and get Goff an offensive line, I think he'll be a very good player. Granted, it is early and teams don't have a lot of film on him.

Between Goff and Wentz (who I think is good but, a tad bit awkward, reminds me a bit of Big Ben), I think I prefer Goff just because he's a bit more smooth. Wentz footwork is weird, it's like he's stuck in quick sand. I dunno if it's a problem, it's just a bit odd. I'm certainly not a QB expert but, just my thoughts lol.

 

I don't know which one is better, but Fisher just got a 2 year extension so him getting dumped isn't happening anytime soon.

 

The Jets vs 49ers may be a top 10 worst matchup in NFL history. While the teams have shown flashes of good play, mainly in their few wins, these teams are both bigger shit shows than the Browns who are staring down 0-16.

 

The hard part is picking a winner. I went with the Jets because Frisco looks like they have quit on the season.

 

I picked the 49ers because there is at least some hope that Colin can have a good day. None of the Jets can do anything.
