Week 2 Aftermath

[mraynrand]

The Giants seem to be able to rally during the season, but with absolutely no run game and a defense that has really declined from just 2 years ago I don't expect them to bounce back for a run at the playoffs this year. They've lost their identity.

Maybe Jason Bateman can get it back for them



Looks like BJ Raji...

I kind of like Miami and Kansas City to contend for playoff berths. Not for the championship though. Tannehill's a good player and he has some offensive talent to work with. Their defense is underrated also. I have similar feelings about KC + Andy Reid is a helluva coach. I think it will be Seattle, San Fran, or Green Bay out of the NFC.

of course the NFL isn't going to suspend the thug, i'd be shocked if they fine him

suspending him would have been admitting that their refs not only fucked up once, but twice, by not throwing flags on those plays

[ThunderDan]

yeah, but a key is avoiding a playoff game in Seattle.

Seattle barely beat Car on the road. They could easily finish 11-5 and have to go to either NO or GB.

Seahawks are a different team outside of their echo chamber. Last year, 8-0 at home* , 3-5 on the road.

*Includes Fail Mary

I think they're probably the favorite for the #1 seed though.

It's a long season. I suspect the Broncos and SEA will not perform at this level for the next five months.

Chance that Jolly tipped this pass, and the resulting wounded duck fell to AJ, who was trailing a slightly open Garcon?

so much for AJ's one 'big play'

*mind blown*

A season and 2 games, pretty fast to give up a guy drafted #3 overall who wasn't a total washout.

Interesting that this even can happen. It's a result of the rookie salary cap, before the changes teams were pretty much stuck with their picks unless they wanted to eat a huge cap hit. They'll still eat a chunk, his signing bonus should've been close to $15mil.
