2016-2017 NFL Season Thread [Archived] Football • Page 594

If the prior seasons team faced this years Falcons they would have creamed them. I feelike Rivera is subtly on the hot seat in all of this but cam will end up leading them to a wildcard this season to save him.

 

How can you say that when the -1 is when they played the Falcons?

 

I expect Tampa to win the NFC South this year just because that's how the NFC South works.

 

Nah, the saints will just to infuriate everyone lol

And they'll have -5billion next year but still sign 100 guys

 

THAT'S how the NFC South works lol

 

The 2015 offense was a fluke. As good as Cam is, that receiving corps was a joke and the offensive line played better than anyone expected. Going into last year & expecting everything to break the same way was a bad idea. I think the defense is legit. They got off to a bad start because Kawann Short sucked for the first 6 games or so and Bradberry got hurt in that Falcons game where Julio embarrassed them. Made losing Norman hurt a lot more than it probably should have. That and the coaches were being idiots and thought it was smart to single-cover him for the entire game.

Their ceiling is probably a wild card team if Atlanta doesn't fall off. I expect Tampa Bay to be in the mix too but I say that every year they start to show promise and it never happens.

 

I am fully expecting NO to win the NFCS this year

 

I definitely think it's up for grabs, especially if Atlanta's offense isn't as successful with Shananhan gone now. I think Tampa Bay could give them the most trouble, but I'm expecting Carolina to bounce back a bit and make it a three-way battle for the division. I think the Saints will offer up some tough games, but I don't think they have a chance at the division title or even a wild card

 

I think Tampa might be a popular pick.

 

If Tampa can get a RB and bolster up that defense a bit then I can definitely see them potentially winning that division, or at least getting a wild card spot.

But my hope is that they fall flat on their faces because I am far from a fan of Jameis Winston

 

They have two RBs. One can't stay healthy and the other has been very misused.

 

Forgot they have Doug Martin. I was under the impression that he might not be 100% coming back so that he can deal with what's been going on in his life

 

No, he really might not be coming back but that won't be determined till after the draft. Either way 8 wins is an improvement.

 

But yeah I hope Winston fails. As much as I hate to wish that on somebody.

 

His grandma died today, who basically raised him.

 

I'm still not sold that Winston is any good

 

I think Winston is very good

I also despise him, partially because he's a terrible human and partially because he went to FSU

 

"Any good" is a pretty big reach. I don't think anyone thinks he's anything more than an average qb that manages the game right now, still awhile away from elite Alex smith levels

 

Fsu is an awful place, a girl who went there once put her seat heaters on high when driving me around and it was awful

 

I agree, it's normally not, but for Winston, it's ok. I hope he fails as well.

 

I wish people hated tyreek hill and dgb and many others this much also, POS club basically

 

I feel like Tyreek Hill wasn't as publicized but he's definitely shitty

I saw a LOT of DGB backlash

 

Meh, a bit but I think when you're not a qb the scrutiny is much smaller unless there's a video showing it. I think it'll be mentioned with mixon forever but dalvin cook who tortured dogs and punched a woman at a bar won't be. Also comparing tyreek hill to Noah Spence just because they transferred to small schools is a joke, one was a POS and the other one failed a test for E.

 

Very good point as well, especially when bringing up Dalvin Cook.

 

I mean I see him falling down boards but there's also some physical stuff with that but either way I don't see it mentioned at all in major media. There's so many red flag players who still get drafted every year but they don't get shit on enough.
