    Obviously. Zeke can’t run 3 yards a carry and Mac Jones is a total flop. Time to get rid of Belichick sooner than later.

    Idk Timmy, I think the division should fear the Steelers after how effortlessly good they looked in the preseason. Torched the starting bills lineup. They’re actually opening holes for running this year and will be better to solid qb protection. Pickens is easily a top 10 talented wr. Some inside Pittsburgh reports are worried he’s acting similar to younger AB I guess with his mouth. Hopefully can control him better. As long as they don’t freeze in the redzone this year, they should be at least a wild card team.

    Ravens are overrated every year. I hope Dobbins actually holds out to expose Lamar. Lamar isn’t the type of qb who can throw every down. And Odell is a watered down version compared to what he used to be. Ik Lamar threw well in 2017, but that was it. Bengals are obviously the main threat.

    And I watched a few browns games and if Watson can play like he did a few years ago, browns could be a tough team. The rookie wr Tillman looks like he could be a stud. I believe one could make a case and argue this is the toughest division going into this season.

    kenny pickett is only in his second year. it's going to take him time to learn the game just like every other QB. on top of that, the steelers offensive personnel isn't that impressive. Pickens has a lot of potential, but he's just one guy.

    if you don't believe in lamar's throwing ability, that's ok. but the ravens were leading the division until lamar went down with an injury. the bengals are obviously a really good football team. and if watson can get back to playing the way he used to, the browns can be a good team as well. my point is...this division is full of QB's who have proven they can play at a high level, and the teams around them are good too.

    the steelers definitely aren't going to win the division. they MIGHT get a wild card spot. deep down, i don't think you have a lot of confidence in the steelers. i think you're thinking more with your heart than your head.

    Kenny is like 26, he’s already mentally ahead of other younger players with a higher iq. According to Pro Football Focus, Pickett’s 94.7 grade was the highest of any quarterback in the preseason. He was throwing some long balls too, not cheap throws. You’re forgetting about Johnson, the TE Pat who is great at catching. One power rb and a more route running one. Give me the Steelers offense over Vikings. You only have Jefferson. That’s it.
    I wouldn’t even discuss the Steelers preseason if I thought the season would be a flop, like last season. I posted no Steelers nfl hype for a few seasons. I don’t do the thinking with your heart s---, I’m more into scoring td parlays the older I get vs worrying about my favorite team.

    And your qb takes have always been terrible. Remember your hype train with Teddy Bridgwater. Yeah I can still remember from sl too. Obviously you think Lamar is some Peyton Manning throwing wise. Thinking Lamar is a good to great passer is delusional. He can’t throw a ball more than 10 yards anymore.

    @Detroit24 how you feel about your chances versus the Jets week 1? von miller is going to miss the season opener, but hopefully other guys can step up until he returns.

    i think you guys playing the jets early is good thing. the reason i believe that is because it'll probably take a little time for rodgers and the jets offense to get on the same page. you know what i mean? it'll probably take some time for them to gel

    agree 100% I would’ve shocked if jets come out firing on both sides of the ball

    I expect growing pains…super high expectations for jets…I’ll believe it when I see it…I think Aaron gets them an extra win or two…their oline is not that good

    even without von Miller we should get to Aaron Rodgers and hurry him up

    First week of season always the best for me, while on vacation. Got a 25 pack bottle of 420mg thc per gummy, been enjoying eating a few and getting zoned into the game and all evening. It helps medically enhance my NFL and obvious mlb knowledge.

    My professional analyst week 1 bets. Bet on the Steelers over SF, mainly because Bosa isn’t playing. Richardson to score a td anytime. For my scoring parlay, still deciding on the 3rd but thinking Jacobs and Henry, debating a top wr or Nick Chubb. For a more risky but more than doubling your money, I’m thinking maybe choosing Addison for Vikings to score a td. Just feel he’ll be one of the rookies more likely to catch a td week one.

    Extremely disrespectful. Especially considering this could have been Rodgers last time we see him play. We could have seen this jets team make the playoffs. You knew Rodgers and the Jets were a serious threat to the dolphins.

    Your dolphins, that f---ing Tryeek Hill is a problem. I’m not sure he’s professional and friendly enough to be the leader of all wr’s. Could be a bad look. It’s also kind of cheap route running when u can take off that fast. He’s definitely scripted addy.

    unfortunate rodgers got hurt--it would have been cool to see how good the jets could have been with him under center. it sounds like he doesn't plan to retire. on Instagram Rodgers said, "i shall rise yet again". i guess that means he plans to come back next year. it's gonna be tough because an achillies injury at his age is hard to come back from. that's the same injury that took out kobe.

    @The Product when it comes to football, you never really know what will happen, but i think you guys will beat us. i just don't see how we're gonna stop all those weapons the eagles have. i'm still excited though because i'm watching the game with a buddy of mine (he's an eagle's fan) at dave and busters tomorrow and it's been a long time since him and I have hung out--so it'll be cool to catch up.

    how are you feeling about the game tomorrow?

    s--- man, I’m up in the air about it. Should be a good game and I love the newly formed/forming rivalry between the teams. Eagles a little banged up already on D and I think the lack of preseason play showed with Hurts’ hesitation. They had a good test for week 1 and like you said, when they are rolling, they are hard to beat. I believe they are going to be a top team in the NFC this year no doubt I feel like this is one of those early games that can be a toss up. But home opener, Thursday night, I hope you have a good time with your friend but Go Birds!

    it definitely swung the momentum of the game. Jefferson was really upset with himself. you could see it in his body language. the Vikings actually did better than I thought they would. some of the turnovers were caused by the eagles, but others were self-inflicted (shooting yourself in the foot) mistakes just like against the buccaneers in week 1. oh well. good game @The Product

    ....so @Detroit24 do you think you guys will bounce back this week vs the raiders? football is very much a team game, but josh allen really did you guys in with his reckless turnovers against the jets. if he does a better job of taking care of the ball, you guys win that game.

    Detroit24 the teams we root for are some of the most snake-bitten NFL teams. the vikings and bills are the ultimate tease. they get so close but can never seem to finish the deal (win it all). hopefully this changes at least once during our lifetime haha

    you’re right 100% big time tease

    i think bills win this week but you’re right their window might be closing…I think ever since Brian daboll left for head coach of giants it really effected our offense…I think their will be changes to this coaching staff if they have a mediocre season…I can see them making the playoffs but that’s it…the afc has caught up…Josh Allen still plays hero ball which makes for lots of turnovers…our defence is getting older too

    then again it’s week 1 I’ll wait for couple weeks to determine what’s next

    but no Aaron Rodgers…should have beaten the jets

    as for your Vikings they are talented! But tough start to the season…they get chargers, chiefs and 49ers in the next few weeks…I think they are good enough to beat them

    The run defence is a concern as eagles showed they can run all over the Vikings d but offensively you guys can keep up with the best of them…at least in the air…mattison not playing as #1rb…really missing dalvin cook right now

    How do you feel about the outlook for the Vikings season right now starting out 0-2? The turnovers are killing them and without them they could easily be 2-0. Their next couple games aren’t easy but they gotta start stacking some wins if they want to contend.
