well look on the bright side, you can only go up hill from here

Ya maybe we can go 0-16 and get clowney..

I never wanted Genosmith, he's a worse diva version of Rg3... His career will be like Vicks in the falcons, flashes of athleticism, but inconsistency, and injury prone.

Bigger problem we have no weapons around a qb. No te, no wrs, no running game a weak right line.

The truth is, you don't know if NE wins the Superbowl or even the AFC if Gronk stays healthy. You don't know if the Bills or Miami are better than they look. Denver might not be as good as they look. Unexpected stuff will happen. No Locks.

Denver isn't as good as they look. Losing dumervill hurt. And 6 games on Miller will hurt. But That O is still great.

I like Houston with Cushing, Watt and now Reed.

Defense is all we seem to care about... and not for nothing, I'm hoping we bomb the season and get clowney. Then for 4 straight years we will have drafted DLine in the first round. Wilkerson, Coples, Richardson, *Clowney*... we could have BEASST dline.

They beat BUF and TB. ATL is banged up bad and think they win tomorrow, I can see CIN, SD and CAR being coinflips and then 1-2 against the NE/NO/BAL trio.

They will not beat Atlanta, Saints, Ravens... so there's 3 losses in a row to bring you back down to earth.

Buffalo coin flip.
NE-Loss
Cin-loss
-At TB... coinflip, I lean to loss.
SD- lean loss
Car-lean loss

I'm not saying that can't get wins out of a couple.. but I wouldn't favor them, and can easily see all 9 of the next teams beating them.

It's great to know those things you think are impossible are actually not only possible, but actually happened...

I still feel like, it's playoffs or bust. Sitting 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 is the worst.. If you make the playoffs great. Any given Sunday lets see what happens.

Otherwise, I'd take last place all day.

Too bad they didn't play Hoyer before they traded T-rich. They might have actually been a legit contender for the weak AFC north. I don't think Wheeden is getting his job back.

I never liked the Weeden draft pick... 1st rounder, on a 28/29 year old QB....

Benmage · Post Post #304 (isolation #22) » Tue Oct 01, 2013 3:06 am

I like them for 10 wins.

They still have to see the Texans, Bronco's twice, Colts, Redskins.. and Chargers twice. If they sneak out a couple of these games, and beast the easier opponents 10 wins is easy enough, which locks them into the wildcard.

Benmage · Post Post #305 (isolation #23) » Wed Oct 02, 2013 4:22 am

I still like Giants for the division

Benmage · Post Post #319 (isolation #24) » Wed Oct 16, 2013 3:57 am

How the hell did the Saints lose....

The freakin jets... always play to their opponent.

I think what Irsay said, well not too bad, is still foolish. You have a SuperBowl ring, go there twice.. Yes you Peytons playoff record is not the greatest. Half the time he had buys where he wasn't getting the easier Wild Card wins... and He was in a titanic battle with Brady.

It's the house that Peyton built. Period. Even with Luck and now Richardson, the colts don't have the pieces... Rwayne is aging out. Fleener is not Clark. I think Luck is hella talented... We'll see obviously in 10 years if they have multiple Rings, or even 1.

-I'm looking forward to this weekends game. Even as a Jet fan, I've always like Peyton and his abilities (probably him because I can't like Brady)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets beat the Pats this weekend.

Benmage · Post Post #323 (isolation #25) » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:35 am

If not now, when?

The Giants season is dunzo.. but they're the only poor-record team that doesn't really need a QB.
-If the Giants can finish bottom 5, they have a real shot at landing Clowney. Imagine JPP and Clowney

Other bottom teams:

Bottom Teams that need QBS:
Jaguars
Bucs
Browns
Probably Vikings

Teams that don't need QB:
Falcons
Giants
Panthers
Bills
Jets
Redskins

I think the Giants could do poor enough. (Wish the Jets blew better than they do)

Benmage · Post Post #336 (isolation #26) » Fri Oct 18, 2013 3:49 am

I like on field calls personally.

Its been like that this forever, keep it traditional.

So.... Colts/Denver game.

I've always been a Peyton fan, so I hope he lights it up.

HUZZAH

-I could see the Giants getting 5-6 wins on the season... not bad for starting 0-6.

Benmage · Post Post #352 (isolation #30) » Wed Oct 23, 2013 6:50 am

I did pick KC as my wild card in the afc.. huzzah.

I agree the teams KC has beaten haven't been stellar. (Dallas being their best win I guess)

I'd go:

Saints
Seahawks
Broncos
Gbay
SanFran
Colts
KC
Pats

Benmage · Post Post #388 (isolation #31) » Wed Nov 06, 2013 1:00 pm

Who do I start?

Stafford, or Rivers? (rivers is against Denver) (stafford against chicago)

Benmage · Post Post #395 (isolation #32) » Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:28 pm

Rivers will be in a pass off with Peyton.... and their D sucks.

Bears D aint so bad.... and Stafford has Megatron! So I have Stafford in right now.

Benmage · Post Post #398 (isolation #33) » Tue Nov 12, 2013 4:59 am

Smart call for STafford over Rivers. I won my fantasy this week.

Oh and Miami LOST!!!

GO JETS!

The Jets will win the division. You heard it here first!

Benmage · Post Post #400 (isolation #34) » Tue Nov 12, 2013 5:17 am

The Jets won't see the Pats again this year. I like the Jets schedule.

Benmage · Post Post #405 (isolation #35) » Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:53 pm

I think Chess means for a 7-2 team in the realm of all teams to have ever been 7-2 at one point in time, the patriots currently represent a weak 7-2 team when also looking respectively at the league as a whole. Yes they beat the Saints. If you ask me today who would I take in the Superbowl Saints vs Pats, I'd take the Saints.

Benmage · Post Post #407 (isolation #36) » Tue Nov 12, 2013 4:11 pm

Thats a goodpoint... I meant superbowl for a neutral field.

Benmage · Post Post #442 (isolation #37) » Fri Nov 15, 2013 3:06 am

That Titans loss, helps the 6th seed lockup for the Jets. Especially with Miami in disarray.

Benmage · Post Post #444 (isolation #38) » Fri Nov 15, 2013 6:21 am

The Chargers were a concern, until they lost to the Redskins. They're a game back already, and they have to go to Denver, see Kansas City twice, and play Cincinnati. They'd be lucky to get 2 wins out of that... and that means if they win the rest of their games, the best they can finish is 9-7. (And the Giants who they also see are doing better)

Baltimore is also a game back, and so the Jet v Raven game will be pretty huge. But even with a Jet loss, the Ravens still see see New England, and travel to Lions and Bengals... two difficult games.
---Balts probably biggest concern especially if the Jets lose... SO we'll see the Ravens haven't been their usual dominance.

Benmage · Post Post #468 (isolation #39) » Tue Nov 26, 2013 7:44 am

^Peyton. JC can take a lot from Alex having to score.. as could the defense.

Btw in my league I went from 1-5 to now 8-6....Weird number of games... ya it's a 12 man divided into 2 6 man divisions, and you play your division twice so some weeks like this week is a double matchup!

Benmage · Post Post #481 (isolation #40) » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:41 am

Seattle stomped the Saints. If they win in San-Fran, SuperBowl for sure...

Even with a loss.. they'll likely be the #1 seed... and beating Seattle in Seattle will be quite the feat.

In other news... if the Jets can manage to lose their remaining games *fingers crossed* ... we can get a respectable draft pick.

Preseason I agree.. I thought Sjax was the final piece with Gonzo returning white n julio...

For the Texans I thought a Vet like Ed Reed would solidify that Defense on all levels with Watt and Cushing.
-I thought Schuab might have a Flacco like run. Especially with a wr finally across from AJ... and with Foster/Tate being so dominant. They should've been what KC is.
