NFL Thread - 2018

Just saying every year is different. Literally 365 days ago, the Giants would’ve been favored to beat the Eagles.

Every year is different.

We lost by 5 to Jacksonville and the Eagles/Cowboys/Pats fans(lots of objective fans there!lol) act like it will take a miracle for us to not start 0-8 or something.

I def agree that every year is different and also that injuries can be a huge factor. Nobody has repeated in the NFC East since 2005.

I'm not in that camp that said anything about NY losing the first game and how it was a disaster. All I said was that Philly owns NY in the swamp and that I'm confident that they'll finish ahead of NY this year. That doesn't mean the NYG won't be much improved or won't finish above .500. I just compare the two teams and the only area I'll grant you an edge is at WR. I like our OL, DL, LBs, secondary, TEs and most of all our QB over what the Gmen have to offer. Probably have to give an edge re coaching to Philly as well.

Nope.

I had Engram last year. He sucked.

Only on Syracusefan does 62 722 6 suck.

Love it.

Who was better?

Other than those 3?

Certainly doesn't suck. I think fantasy owners would be thrilled to get the same production out of Engram, but obviously the Giants having their WRs back probably changes the math for him.

But to answer your question, it was just those 3 and Graham.

Not saying he isn’t good. I don’t consider him
“Elite.” He for sure is a tier below gronk , Kelce and ertz.

Yep.

And would certainly want him in on any fantasy team I had if I didn’t have those 3.

But if I did, it would likely mean either my WRs or RBs suck.

Not true. I expect you to start 1-7 after your win in Dallas sunday night.

Josh Gordon getting released by Cleveland Monday.

 

[Cowtown]

Josh Gordon getting released by Cleveland Monday.

That's a sad end to what was going to be a great talent.

 

[Day2]

That's a sad end to what was going to be a great talent.

He’ll be on another team next week.

 

[Alsacs]

Jerry will trade for Gordon.


I think the best fit is San Fran.

Sounds like those are his top two choices.

 

[MSOrange]

I may regret but I'm leaving Tom Brady on the bench today and going with Rivers as my QB thinking he will take advantage of that matchup vs my Bills.

I did exactly the same thing, sat Brady for Rivers. On Wednesday, even. Rivers is a serious stat stuffer.

 

[MSOrange]

Good! I don't feel like I'm doing something totally crazy then.

 

[Cowtown]

Good! I don't feel like I'm doing something totally crazy then.

Following my lead is no indication of overall stability. Note, I did that in my other (family) pool. I still have Luck starting over Stafford in the syrfan.com pool.

edit: See what I mean? I picked up Desean Jackson and didn't start him, LOL!

 

[OrangeDW]

Cam Newton takes an insane number of cheap shots.

He slid the way many say Dungey should, and got absolutely blasted in the head anyway. You’re wide open if you slide and they hit you anyway.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Pat Mahomes is ridiculous. How will Andy Reid screw this up?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Nope. Not today.

 

[GoSU96]

Great start for Nate

Bortles has been great

 

[upperdeck]

awful call to cost GB that game

 

[Trueblue25]

Dolphins!!

 

[orange79]

awful call to cost GB that game

The Matthews roughing the passer call? Yes, simply terrible. I've seen worse hits where the QB looks up at the ref, who just shakes his head 'No'.

 

[upperdeck]

yeah. not sure what he though was wrong with that.. the QB jumped as he hit him. he didnt drive him or hit him late.

Rules are getting to complicated. I don’t know anything anymore.
