NYJets4716 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Trading for Darnold has nothing to do with why we were bad. Bad drafting and team building was why. Darnold didnt ignore the ol for a decade. Or not draft playmakers, or not address edge or cb. For the first time in a decade the jets have a gm that seems to have a clue. We arent there but we have a better team than last years, schedule is tough and I dont trust gase but with a actual ol i expect the offense to be better than the historically bad ol we had last season. The defense is a #1 cb and edge away from elite status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did have an extremely solid draft though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did have an extremely solid draft though He has no say over firing the HC, only ownership can do that one. But gase was the guy who got maccagnan fired and Douglas hired. He got our awful scouting department reworked which was huge. Gase didnt have anything to work with last season, historically bad ol that ruined everything and loads of injuries. He has a lot to prove still but he wasn't in a easy spot last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize people can read the thread right lol. One guy - a steelers fan - did. Literally one other person in the thread said “Steelers win total may be too high IMO” and gave a thought out opinion as to why. A bit dramatic to see what’s been written here and jump to a “oh how DAREEEEE people not hand it to the Ravens amirite?!” but that’s your prerogative. But theres no collective sense of handing anything to the Ravens - at least not in this thread. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblinmsm and tk3 both thought it was stupid to suggest the Steelers winning the division...I’m not aware of either being a Steelers fan as I rarely post outside tgrSteelers forum. So in the end I’m not sure what you’re going after...if you wanna respond again, go ahead, I won’t be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 On 4/25/2020 at 5:35 AM, BayRaider said: Washington Redskins 11-5 Alright, alright.. I know. Ridiculous. This hinges on Alex Smith, though. I'm in the 5% minority that thinks he comes back. And he'll take Haskins job by Week 4 who I think is horrible (sorry Redskin fans). Reports come out all the time he's still on pace with his comeback and he still wants to play. You can give Alex Smith all the flak you want, this man QB's playoff teams. This stands out to me as by far the most questionable prediction. It really doesn't make sense no matter how you slice it. To start, the notion that Smith could come back at all, let alone come back healthy and playing at a high level (without rust) during a limited offseason, is almost insurmountable. On top of that, Alex Smith - even at his very best - isn't good enough to go 11-1 or 10-2 as a starter with this team to fulfill your prediction (assuming in this scenario Haskins would have to start the season 0-4 or 1-3 to lose the starting gig). In addition to that, Haskins being a bust or not (as your predict), you're never going to give up on him after 4 weeks. In no scenario is that a reasonable option for the best interest of the Redskins. At minimum - minimum - you're starting him for half the season. I can't imagine a scenario (injury notwithstanding) where he wouldn't be the preferred option at QB through 17 weeks, just based on exhausting the Haskins as a starting option. I'm not a Haskins fan, but he isn't that bad. I appreciate you putting in the effort putting this together, but this was a real head scratcher.

DawgX Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 @BayRaider Curious as to why you think the Browns will be worse next season. Care to explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Colts are probably playoff team last year with more consistent QB play. They were in almost every game. Maybe that 6-10 prediction is based on Rivers being toast but we don’t know that yet. Also it’s not like the Colts are going to heavily rely on Rivers. Colts have a great OL, good run game and a improved and athletic defense. Edited April 26, 2020 by Blackstar12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Posting in this one purely because it was started before the other one. Forum etiquette. Also I'm not going to double-check the win totals measure up exactly, because who cares? The real point is predicting how teams will stack up rather than exact win totals. AFC North Baltimore 11-5 Steelers 10-6 Browns 9-7 Bengals 6-10 East Buffalo 13-3 Miami 8-8 New England 7-9 NY Jets 6-10 South Indianapolis 11-5 Tennessee 9-7 Houston 7-9 Jacksonville 4-12 West Kansas City 14-2 Denver 10-6 LA Chargers 8-8 Las Vegas 7-9 1) KC 2) Buffalo 3) Baltimore 4) Indianapolis 5) Denver 6) Pittsburgh 7) Tennessee NFC North Minnesota 11-5 Chicago 10-6 Green Bay 8-8 Detroit 6-10 East Dallas 12-4 Philadelphia 9-7 NY Giants 7-9 Washington 6-10 South New Orleans 12-4 Tampa Bay 12-4 Atlanta 9-7 Carolina 5-11 West San Francisco 11-5 Arizona 10-6 LA Rams 8-8 Seattle 7-9 1) New Orleans 2) Dallas 3) San Francisco 4) Minnesota 5) Tampa Bay 6) Arizona 7) Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
