NFL Thread v2: The 2020 NFL Season!

[Zurkerx]

Not when you have Bell holding out, they won't get there. While I do see the Steelers and potentially the Falcons making the playoffs, I don't see either being Superbowl contenders.

I think the Steelers are one of the most all around talented teams in the league. Their offense is elite, even without Bell (who we can hope will be playing the second half of the season, even if he's being a baby now). The defense isn't quite as good, but it's improved a lot. Playoffs should be no issue. The Super Bowl is within reach, but someone else is gonna have to beat New England. Tomlin doesn't have the first clue what to do against them.

Sure, they probably do but, the Steelers are well known to lose games they're supposed to win and win games they're supposed to lose. Big Ben is good but, not great. And his age is slowly showing. They'll make the playoffs given their division won't be that challenging.

How the hell did Peterman win the starting job? That's a damning statement on Allen. Jeez.

Allen has a strong arm and good athleticism. However, he's inaccurate and not as savvy as some other qbs might be (that will come with experience, of course).

Ed Hochuli's son is officiating the Bills-Ravens game. I am pleased.

[The South Falls]

Lemme see what game I can watch.

[The South Falls]

Gronk just scored. I'm thinking he'll be as large a part in their offense as last year.

Someone tell me what's going on with Fitzpatrick.

Someone tell me what's going on with Fitzpatrick.

He's in full GOAT mode.

I really want the Browns to win this game.

I really want the Browns to win this game.

I understand why you might but won't that just make the rest of the season a disappointment?

Rain from New York to Miami today.

They're not going to be terrible. The defense is surprisingly solid (Denzel Ward looks pretty good) and the offense made improvements. I just want them to get the cylinders firing early. Either way, I won't be disappointed, I'm not even a fan. Just an observer who feels bad for them.

Who needs LeVeon Bell? This is the James Conner show.

What happens if Bell shows up next week? Do the Steelers try to trade him?

This game got me like:

Realistically probably not. But if he wants to complain about too many touches, split the snaps. Give LeVeon 60% and Conner 40%. Conner deserves the playing time.

Yeah, I see. A good substitute.

My projection is for them to go 1-15.

Yes, definitely. Trade Brown and Roethlisberger while you're clearing their talent.

What the hell is happening to brees and the Ain’ts? Someone is getting a bit old huh?

Something I just told my annoying friend who started Conner in fantasy: one week does not a player make. He's playing very well today but we need a larger sample size to see if he truly "deserves" more playing time.

The bucs having a shot this season?

[Saint Ryvern]

Brees is 26-31 with 318 yards and 2 TDs right now...the problem is there defense can't contain Ryan Fitzpatrick. Matt Ryan needs to take notes from those two about how to throw the ball.

Matt Ryan threw it 50 feet over the head of Julio Jones.

Maybe Fitzpatrick can put on a seminar for Ryan to attend titled "Completing Passes to Your Best Receiver" based around that 50-yard TD he threw to Mike Evans.

Well I’m glad that the Saints Defense is shit. If our defense holds them off our crappy offense will win that one. Though if we lose again to the Saints I want Sark’s Head on a plate

At least he's put in the work. That alone should give him a couple of Mr. Drama Queen's snaps.

I know one good game against the Browns doesn't make you great, but he shows major promise. They can't afford to leave that sitting on the bench. Bell is the back of the past. Conner is gonna have to be the RB of the future. I stand by what I said.

Exactly. Just like how Watson needs to attend a "How To Avoid Being Sacked" course.
