Mina wins the first 5, but I think Mike's pick of the Bucs at 12 was absolutely the steal of the draft. Pretty much a lock for double digit win (11 is probably the floor) and an easy division win.

Yea, the offense totally is perfect for TEs to be getting open and numbers. That's why every other TE in Miami got less than 370 receiving yards on the season since Tua got there. Or since Tyreek and McDaniel got there, whichever you prefer.

The only games I would want to see less are their divisional opponents, Cowboys and Giants. Don't want to see a bad team getting it's ass kicked on opening night. Rams, Lions, even Broncos are good choices.

Somehow the Eagles are paying top flight money to 2 WR, their QB, their running back, 3 players on their offensive line and their Tight End. It obviously can be done, if the GM is very good.

Any team that doesn't at least call up and see the price tag is not actually serious about winning.

I mean, they absolutely shouldn't hand it to the owner first, but please, as someone who has crossed the age threshold where they are still the St. Louis Rams, The Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers, don't give me another thing to constantly get wrong!

Team scores 31 points despite five turnovers, their loss is CLEARLY because they go for it on 4th down. We've lost the plot

You'd have thought Leftwich doing that would have been a sign but it had to take two more

I figure if I dive forward in terror to avoid getting creamed by someone who hits like a car maybe three yards?

There's no way he doesn't call the Commanders the R*dskins at any championship photo if they win it this year, isn't there?

So they don't have to pay reporters or editors and just pay a fee to the AI company and rake in those sweet, sweet profits.

It's amazing you are able to keep it to an hour and a half, Buffalo v. Baltimore feels like a game that needs 40-50 minutes of discussion.

These people's awareness and control of their bodies is insane

It really seems unfair that there are 4 legit superhumans playing quarterback right now and all of them are in the AFC.
