If we trade up for Watkins, which mod do I have to bribe to ban Kas? This sounds like the most Millen-esque nonsense...

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Agreed. As I said earlier, giving up next year's first would be asinine.
Remember preseason when the Texans were super bowl favorites? I do.

Good times, I wonder which teams will be the favorites this year.
The Ravens didn't win it this year
It was always going to be either the Hawks or Niners out of the NFC and the Pats or Broncos in the AFC.
But I had the hawks winning it all lolThe Ravens didn't win it this year

Any of you guys know anything about the Bucs possibly taking Aaron Donald? it's something I've heard a bit in the last day or so. We already have McCoy for our 3-technique guy but if they draft him I'd have to figure Smith and Frazier have some sort of plan to have both of them on the field together. Not entirely sure how it would work though.

I'm not against trading up for Watkins, its just not my first choice. Rather have a safety first. If the trade up happens, I really don't want to see a future first traded.

Dutch you're too cool to be a pats fan, what the hell happen.
Only a team with a strong run game would have had a chance against the Hawks. Denver and NE both don't match up well against them.
Niners would have pushed around both of those teams. Their weakness was the Flacbomb and both olds from NE and Denver have pathetic arm strength at this point.
AFC was garbage last year. NFC won in a way that reflected that.

Donald is a defensive end, not a tackle. Don't really see the need there, unless they want to have the most ridiculous d-line rotation in the NFL.

Good for him.
Well if he's going to be an end, then it makes more sense. Adrian Clayborn needs to be consistently healthy and productive before I consider him a mainstay on the line, Da'Quan Bowers blows, Micheal Johnson was a nice addition, and William Gholston has potential, but he needs to play up to it before that means anything. Still think we should trade down if we're in that situation though.
I respectfully disagree, Plinko. We are one playmaker away from Super Bowl contention.
Quarterback- Elite
Running Back Core- Young and solid
Wide Reciever Core- Best receiver in the game. Need one more opposite.
Offensive Line- One of the best in the league last year with two rookies starting.
Tight Ends- Young and developing.
Defensive Line- Young and the best in the game.
Linebackers- Average.
Secondary- Meh.
When you look at our team from top to bottom the only area we are bad is secondary. If we get one more wide reciever opposite Megatron we'll be dropping 40 a game so it won't matter how are secondary is. On top of that the defensive line will cause havok and buy the secondary time.
We have three 4th round picks. If all it takes is one 3rd rounder to move up 5 spots to grab Evans or Watkins you have to do it.

Yes, one of the favorites won last season, but that hasn't been a normal occurrence lately by any means. Also, it's their first SB in franchise history, not like they're the Alabama of the NFL or something.The Ravens didn't win it this year

If I ever go full kas about the dolphins someone shoot me please.
He wanted her to know that he could throw her off if she said no.
lol. such a creepy episode

Don't worry, the Dolphins will never be relevant enough again to get your hopes up like that.
Also one of the best.
Only cause I built a pc lol. And it still needs some work.

Well the lions have never been relevant and yet they are one player away from the super bowl apparently.

I almost envy him at this point. I'd love to feel like my team is only one player away from Super Bowl contention after a 7-9 season where the rest of the teams in the division all but handed them a playoff spot and they still managed to fuck it up.

Well, the Lions are a much better team than the Dolphins.

I would shoot myself if I was ever that stupid. How a team misses the playoffs when the other 3 teams in the division all lose their QBs for extended periods and yet is still only 1 player away from the SB is just beyond me. This might be what it would be like to try and have a discussion with one of the citizens of Oceania in 1984.

Giants collapse was the second biggest surprise of the season behind the Texans. It amazes me that they managed to get to 7-9 after an 0-6 start.

I respectfully disagree, Chris. We are one playmaker away from Super Bowl contention.
Quarterback- Elite
Running Back Core- Young and solid
Wide Reciever Core- Fastest receiver in the game. Need one more opposite.
Offensive Line- Meh.

Secondary- One of the best in the league last year with two rookies that will contribute more this season
When you look at our team from top to bottom the only area we are bad is offensive line. If we get one more wide reciever opposite Wallace we'll be dropping 40 a game so it won't matter how are o-line is. On top of that Tannehill will wreak havok and cover up the bad o-line play. Plus Albert is coming in and we'll probably get a stud RT in the draft.
We have a bunch of draft picks. If all it takes is a few picks to move up to grab Evans or Watkins you have to do it.

I thought much along the lines of Jerry Reese - that we could squeeze out another year with the roster we had. I was wrong.
The positive is that you didn't have to spend too much time trying to figure out where the problem are/were. On paper, Reese has done some work. We'll see if pays off but we need a monster draft this year.

Man, this Jets draft would be a lot easier if we had some decent corners. We went from the best secondary in the league to arguably the worst (Dee Milliner as a #1, hahahahah) in the span of a couple of years. Why this team even needs to consider drafting defense again this year is mind-boggling but, hey, its the Jets. Can't wait to see our draft blunders video again though

Anybody out there brave enough to play a game of Fifa against me? (PS4)
I had them collapsing last year ( I got alot of flak for wanting to tank for Clowney before the season); they just didn't do enough to rejuvenate a clearly aging/injured offensive line and it showed last year.
The comeback was due to our defense kinda overperforrming last year (really strong year by Fewell).
