The Bengals look better than I expected but I'm far from ready to call them better than the Jags, Chiefs, and Pats. The Broncos, no. I know they are 2-0 but they aren't a good team. They're not finishing above .500.

Bengals might be an overreaction because I honestly can't tell anyone how good the Ravens or Colts are. Broncos Def beat 2 bad teams. Bucs beat 2 good teams tho.

It's too bad defense is a thing
It's too bad offense is a thing

Yeah 51 points in 2 games?

Garbo and slightly better than garbo.

Like, what the jags have rn is:

1) Probably the best D in the league
2) Very good o-line
3) An incredible, but injury-prone, RB
4) Two promising, but raw, receivers in Cole and Westbrook. ASJ is also a solid catch-passing TE.
5) A QB that people meme about being terrible but who's actually pretty much average other than having the third-highest yards per carry for QB of all QBs ever.

I will take "best defense in league and probably top-third offense" over the rest of the AFC.

Also the NFC looks better this year (again)

BROseidon · Post Post #482 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 2:06 am

Rams/Jags SB or TB/Jags SB?

Which is more memes?

Yeah but Bortles is a poor-man's Nick Foles. Maybe that's good enough to win the Super Bowl if everyone else is great, but just as likely to fizz out in the Divisional round.

It's rough running into Fitzpatrick in the wrong part of his cycle
should have known better

is Bortles really as streaky as Foles?
Foles only seems to have two settings, shite and GOAT

BROseidon · Post Post #486 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 3:22 am

Yeah Bortles is capable of actual mediocrity (like against the Giants wk1)

so the Pats will be getting Josh Gordon for pennies on the dollar right?
thats how the script usually goes

BROseidon · Post Post #488 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 3:52 am

Apparently he wants to go to the Jags

PJ. · Post Post #489 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:37 am

Might as well just burn the money

Well fuck the Patriots' plot armor they just made their team an actual favorite for SB.

i cant believe that a conditional 5th was the most anyone was willing to risk

and they cut Coleman to make room for him

Bella · Post Post #496 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 10:07 am

As great is this could be for the Patriots, I'm concerned about the idea of shipping a guy with his documented issues to a state where recreational marijuana use is legal. I hope he stays clean, but I'm sure you're all aware how hard that can be for an addict.

He suffers from Derek Anderson syndrome - when he's the back up forced to play, there's no pressure to keep the job and he achieves his potential. The second the job is his, and he's playing with all the pressure of a starting QB and needing to keep playing well not to get benched, they crumble under the pressure.

I mean, with his history, with another long suspension hanging over him and after he went to seek treatment in the off-season, would you offer anything higher or make it not conditional on him not rediscovering his love for the stuff that got him in trouble in the first place? As for the point about Coleman, Coleman isn't very good. Gordon is.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently it's not conditioinal, but the Pats get a 2019 Seventh back if he doesn't play in 10 of the remaining 14 games.

If im the Jags I'm giving a conditional 4th lol

Nero Cain · Post Post #499 (ISO) » Mon Sep 17, 2018 11:17 am

feels the the jags don't need him. Maybe it was just a very very bad defense they faced?
