2018 NFL Draft & Season Chat Thread

[The Solution]

I've got a feeling Bell shows up tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest

With how well Conner is playing.. better off trading him.
He is still an elite back, but if he held out this long it is clear his intention he doesn't want to be there.

How long until Garrett is fired?
I am shocked he is still in Dallas.
Jerry Jones has to let him go. That team looks horrendous.

They can't trade him now that the deadline has passed. He is going to wait to play, because he only has to play 6 games to have the ability to become a free agent, but his timing is poor

 

[DemntedCowboy]

Its a done deal

Eager to see what the steelers do with him in the offseason, since Conner is on pace to have 20+ TD's this year, and he almost has more then bell has in a single season (11)

They might transition tag him and see if he brings any value. If not they will let him walk

 

[The Solution]

Week 10

TNF:
Carolina @ PItt: Two very hot teams go head to head in Pittsburgh. If the Steelers control the line of scrimmage James and Ben will provide enough points to extend the winning streak to 5 games. Steelers Rolled 52-21

Sunday Games:
Detroit @ Chicago - Mack is back, and that defense will keep Stafford struggling to score points. Bears 34-22
New Orleans @ Cincinnati - Dez is added to NO, but has been injured. Saints will have plenty of weapons to score enough points on the road. Saints 51-14
Atlanta @ Cleveland - Cleveland shows up and Baker adds another W to the browns. 28-16
New England @ Tennessee - Titans with the UPSET of the day! 34-10 over the Pats
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis - Two struggling teams, this could be a coinflip. I will go with Indy at home 29-26
Arizona @ Kansas City - Mahomes and the Chiefs will pound Zona. Chiefs 26-14
Buffalo @ New York - Barkley gets the start and punishes the Jets. 41-10
Washington @ Tampa Bay - Fitz got the start for the Bucs, but his two picks did not help them at all! 16-3

Afternoon Games:
Los Angeles @ Oakland - Chargers will beat Oakland. Gruden is going to take a beating here, but we know he is going to try and restructure that team in the draft.. 20-6 Chargers
Miami @ Green Bay - Rodgers and Jones way too much for Miami. Packers run all over the Dolphins. 31-12 GB
Seattle @ Los Angeles - Seattle played well, then the Rams surged 10 points late to hold a lead and secure the W. 36-31 Rams

SNF:
Dallas @ Philadelphia - Zeke has a huge game on the ground and catches a TD. Cooper is a big help to that offenese, and they surged late to win. 27-20 Eagles.

MNF:
New York @ San Francisco - New York is hurting just as bad as Dallas and Oakland. SF looked sharp last week will the streak continue? 49'ers get another victory. 27-14

Big Ben....

Looks like Dez tore his Achilles at practice today.

Not the biggest fan of Dez, but I kinda feel for the guy here. Its almost guaranteed to be career ending for him at this point, wouldn't you guys think?

 

[DemntedCowboy]

Yeah, sucks for him. Glad it was a cheap contract, they are calling Brandon Marshall back in, he worked out earlier in the day before Dez

 

[The Solution]

Personally, Dez is more talk than play the last few years as he has declined in performance.
This may be the final say in his playing years, knowing him he will try to come back and play, but who knows how productive he will be on the field.
There are lots of great receivers upcoming in the draft, NO Could easily pick another one up in the late first round if they needed to. Since the draft will be heavy in Defensive line and defense a lot of the offensive players will be picked late first round besides teams that need to address those needs.

 

[DemntedCowboy]

Michael Thomas fined $30K for use of a prop and having a mobil device in the bench area for his tribute to Joe Horn against the Rams

I'd be surprised to see him get another shot next season. Hell, the Saints barely took a chance on him this season when he was healthy.

He took it out from the pad on the goal post after a TD for celebration. Not at all just in the bench area.

How much was Dez's contract for?
They could snag a top reciever in the draft if they need one so bad and probably save money. My 2 cents.
Their offense is spectacular, and could be the best it has been in a very long time.

The only question is... if the Rams and Saints play each other again in the NFC Championship how close of a game will the second time be!? I really hope they both get a crack at each other again, that was one HELL of a game to watch.

I do not think the AFC will be strong enough to take down either of those teams.

It was 600K worth up to 1.7M based on receptions and yards.

It was a 1-year at $1.75M deal, but was prorated since he was only signing for 8 games instead of a whole season.

See above....it was performance induced. He was only guaranteed 600k. The rest was based off receptions and yards.

Update on Bell

 

[The Solution]

I want to see how well James plays the rest of the year, I hope he goes on to hit around 20 TD's this year. He is getting better every single week.

 

[DemntedCowboy]

Saints sign Brandon Marshall

Deion Jones comes off IR for Falcons
Bell doesn't show to Steelers leaves $14.5 million on the table. Will miss the rest of the season.
Bills waive WR Terrelle Pryor
Ex-Browns coach Hue Jackson going to work for friend Marvin Lewis in Cincy "named special assistant to the head coach."

Week 11

TNF:
GB @ Seattle - Vital game for both as the playoffs are slowly looming. I have Seattle at home but do not rule out #12 for Green Bay. This will be close. Seattle 27-24

Sunday:
Morning Games:
Dallas @ Atlanta: Dallas will go on the road and upset ATL. Zeke and teh Cowboys run away with a 22-19 win.
Carolina @ Detroit: Detroit squeeks out a win vs Carolina at home 20-19. Newton had a huge game, but not enough to pull through with a win.
Tennessee @ Indianapolis: Indy and Luck showed up and dominated. 38-10 over the Titans.
Tampa Bay @ New York: Both teams are struggling, but someone has to win. Manning has a great game and Barkley ran for 100+. Big W for the giants 38-35
Houston @ Washington: I am going to predict Watson has a big game. If Washington wins that helps them greatly with the NFC East. This will be a battle. 23-21 Houston.
Pittsburgh @ Jacksonville: The Bell drama is behind the Steelers. This was Ugly but the Black and Gold came alive in the 4th and Ben pulled out a last minute TD run. 20-16.
Cincinnati @ Baltimore: AFC North Showdown. Lamar Jackson was healthy enough to start and lead the Ravens to a 24-21 victory.

Afternoon Games:

Oakland @ Arizona: Two of the worst teams in the NFL in the toilet bowl. Oakland surprises Arizona with a win on the road. Rosen just has not looked good and continues to struggle 23-21
Denver @ Los Angeles: Denver snaps the chargers 6 game win streak and beat them at home. 23-22 Chargers
Philadelphia @ New Orleans: New Orleans is just too dominant on offense. Philly has a good defense, but they have had trouble stopping NO. This was a masscare NO made Philly look silly.


SNF:
Minnesota @ Chicago . Minnesota could not make enough progress in the 2nd half to surpass the bears. 25-20 Bears at home.

MNF:
KC @ LA Rams: This will be a HUGE game. Two 9-1 teams going head to head. How hot can Mahomes be vs a legit LA Rams defense? There should be some fireworks in this one. 35-28 LA Rams

Or were you just sitting at home all salty watching my Eagles win it while crying about how "it should have been us" still?

 

[DemntedCowboy]

At least we gonna be in the playoffs this year

 

[jimbuick]

Need any salt with those French cries bud?

I'd trade a SB win every day of the week in exchange for sucking the next season.

The only one getting on this thread crying is you, about last season, of all things.

Last season? Yeah, we were pretty great. I'm sure you remember watching us win it all. It wasn't that long ago.

Has anyone mentioned how great the Eagles are this season literally anywhere in this thread? No? That was just you crying about watching them beat the Pats in February? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Well, your the one coming off as whiny cause you got all hurt by my post . I was just making a statement.

Right. Definitely not talking about last year.

Has your butt been this hurt since last January? Do you need one of those hemorrhoid cushions to sit still? It's been like 10 months man!

Look when your feeling quit being hurt. Come back buddy. It'll be ok

 

[jimbuick]

Gonna be an interesting season. Lots of big changes to SB contenders. I'm not sure how much last season's play will be able to forecast next season's results.

For all those keeping score at home, this is my first post in the 2018 thread.

 

[jimbuick]
