I think our schedule turned out decent. @seahawks and @chiefs probably auto losses but maybe we can take the raiders and vikings at home

bye week after game 5 though is pretty early

Pats have a good schedule. I'm going to be stuck to the TV on opening kick-off as I'll be back in Kansas City after finishing school this year. Looking forward to it.

it'll be interesting to see if the NFL establishment hitches it wagon to this study of concussions in the NHL.

If he's found innocent - poor guy. This screams La'el Collins a couple of years ago.

Always around this time, the accusations come out. Just ruining draft stock and futures.

Never forgave the saints and never forgot them. If AP wants to be a backup RB on a team with no D hes perfectly fine to take the money but he'll come crawling back when people stop taking his phone calls.

So what are y'all hoping for from your teams tomorrow? I really hope that the Niners are able to trade down with the number 2 pick. I can live with them using it to pick one of the top defenders that will be available. I won't be happy if they pick a QB or Fournette.

I don't know how Fournette hasn't just dropped like a rock since the combine. His vertical is weirdly bad, the pass catching was mediocre, obviously the wunderlic was abysmal if you care about that sort of thing. To me he is a late first 20+ at best.

Tons of people have been talking Fournette up, including GMs and media talking heads. I really don't get it. I also don't really understand the sudden love affair with Trubisky.

So are we going to pretend Lynch isn't signing with the Raiders?

new flavor of the year stat for QBs is QB efficiency. I think it has a lot to do with Wilson's success in the NFL after having the highest college efficiency rating and Mariota turning out decent after having a pretty high one too. It's the new "this will show he will translate to the NFL!!" and Trubisky's was 2nd in college behind only Baker Mayfield because he threw only like 2 ints last year. Also he allegedly makes "NFL level reads" all of a sudden even though he was less dangerous in the UNC offense this year than Marquise Williams last year so I don't get it either

Same. If that one guy wasn't a loose-cannon-woman-beater he'd be the 4th RB on my board. Trubinsky is just a symptom of people talking themselves into bad QBs like the do every year (see, e.g. Jared Goff).
