Plus Lock had a way better supporting cast (regardless of the injuries) and we had a much worse defense

If our defense allows the jets to score 31 points I will be worried for this season.

We use RAS grades around here

This could also be something like a "Look what you guys missed out on" game for Matt Rhule as well. Since he was previously in the running for the coaching job in New York.

I don't think he'll throw 4. I think they'll be running the ball heavily this game. Maybe our DL holds and forces them to make plays through the air.

Also learned from Boomhauer (king of the hill)

Our defense will be top 10 this season. Prolly will be no higher than 10th but I see promise. And this week 1 game will be a confidence booster. For Reddick (people think he can't repeat last your or improve), Darnold (pretty obvious why), and CMC (comeback from injury).

Sam Darnold 246 Pass yds. 3 TDs, 1 INT ***DJ Moore: 89 yards 6 catches ***Robby Anderson: 102 Yards 8 Catches 1TD (I think CMC will possibly catch 1 TD and Rush for at least 1, and Dan Arnold will grab a TD in this Game) Zach Wilson 166 Pass yds. 1 TD, 2 INT Post predictions below.

Darnold has 3 years of experience Vs. a Zach Wilson that is being thrown in the fire after playing questionable competition at the college level. I think Sam HAS to win this game. and if he is outplayed by Zach the media will attack him.

Since we play Jets week 1, I thought I'd drop they're current depth chart. See what the competition will be like.

Bill hurt his team by years of terrible drafting. Worrying about drafting a QB of the future when you had an MVP/GOAT on the roster. And his numbers were not showing he was going to start playing poo at any point.

We need a Carolina Huddle Therapist for some lol

Bruce did what Bill should've done and what the packers need to do. When you have a talent like that at QB you take care of him.

Bills system seemed to be: i have Tom Brady, go win with what we got Bruce's system seems to be: whatever you want Tom, we'll bring em in

We'll do better than last year based off the improvements we made to the defensive side of the ball.

Maybe... im just not so sure about NO... they aren't even 100% confident that Winston is their guy. It was just the best option to keep him seeing as there CAP was terrible and what it would've took to trade up for a QB. They would've drafted a QB if one fell, but one didn't and they still went with one a QB in Ian Book. TB: Didn't have any holes to really fill. ATL: Defense still doesn't scare me NO: We will see how much was Drew and how much was Sean (not the same but similar us wondering what we'd see in brady without bill) Edit: (NO) the culture won't change but that locker room sure will. I hope he uses the "eat a W" speech before playing us

Since we both went with 9-8, how many of the losses (based off who you believe we will lose to above) will be 1-score losses

I think Rhule would take the most heat.

I definitely see Cam putting up numbers against us. However I see Sam doing the same thing against the Jets.

This is not me ranking Sam Darnold above the other QB's! This is me ranking what based off of coaching, full rosters (on paper), last years good & bad, and etc. Not doing any specific rankings but if I had to I would put Sam third behind Tom Brady and Matt Ryan. I would put Winston above Sam, but Winston only put up more numbers because he had a wayyy better team. And Winston had more turnovers than Sam. They are both tied to me. Two chuck artists (gunslingers)

I honestly think the only person in the way of us being #1 in this division is Tom Brady. If this team keeps going in the direction we do... We will be a contender for 1st place in 2 years. 1 year if Sam ends up being a steal and a true franchise QB for us

I do see us making the playoffs (wild-card), however I am not sure I see us winning that 1st playoff game unless its against one of... 1. Vikings- I think Sam can manage to outplay Kirk Cousins 2. Bears- Depends on how well Justin Fields is. But I don't think Fields/Allen Robinson Will outplay Sam/DJ Moore/Robby (Not sure who will emerge as his targeting favorite even though a healthy CMC will likely take a lottt of the safe check down targets) 3. NFC South Team other than TB- If by any chance 3 teams from our division makes it into playoffs (i think last time this happened was 2016 or something) we can take a Saints team who has done poorly in the playoffs in recent years. And I don't expect ATL to be able to keep up defensively if Sam finds his 'Mojo" (if he has one) Edit: Kinda just stopped after 3 lol who would you add or take off?

Before I start I will say that this post is very opinion based My prediction is that we will ultimately be 2nd in the division. I believe 1st place will be a lock with TB (at least for this year). Places 2-4 will be very competitive. Maybe only 1 or 2 wins will decide. Below is my "end of season" division prediction. 1. TB: (12-5) Tom Brady and company stayed, I think that is enough said. 2. CAR: (9-8)The Offense is better, but ultimately we will be leaning on our defense this year. Force Turnovers and hopefully coach Sam to play smarter football. But I do think Sam will surprise some people. 3. ATL: (8-9) I think they're defense was a MAJOR problem with more several holes/needs. With Kyle Pitts joining them and Julio back, I do believe they're offense will be high powered enough to win games as long as they're defense can hold the opposing teams to under 20. Also, I believe Mike Davis will play pretty decent football in ATL maybe enough to play RB1 this year but they will likely bring someone else in to share reps (maybe bring Gurley back). 4. NO: (6-11) I am just not sold on the QB options they have. Sean has seemed good with QB's but hasn't had to play a complete season without Drew Brees. They are taking as much of a gamble as we are if not more with winston. I don't see his turnover rate dropping too much and taysom was never productive enough to truly be a QB1 in my eyes. Divisional Games ATL: (1-1) I think we will split the games with ATL, losing the first and winning the second. NO: (2-0) We will sweep and win both of these games. TB: (1-1) I think we CAN split the series with TB. I think Sam will come up big in one of the games and pull a comeback win. Post what you think or your predictions below

Brought in as a locker room guy. They're trying to change the culture and that's mainly why they brought big Tim. Production wise, I am sure he will touch the field as they didn't have much depth at TE. Side note: he's already a better TE than Ian Thomas lol

I think his age would make them backoff (37). Cause we could give away a lot of assets and this guy could up and retire at any time and go host Jeopardy. This FO wants to build a young athletic team and I think the oldest they were willing to go is Stafford (32). You can arguably get about 5 more solid years off Matt. But you have to this that Rodger's ability will make them at least call and/or give it some thought.
