NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[champcruthik]

What's the move for Thursday night's opener?

@BleacherReport: J.J Watt showed up at 4 a.m. to lift weights the day after signing his $100M contract http://t.co/ieHqGmHItK

Man's a football player. Nothing but respect.

anytime I see JP Losman, I always laugh at how those Tulane turds him and Ramsey got drafted back to back in the first round.

I was selfishly happy Ramsey set back Washington.

So I'm pretty afraid of Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, and the return of Casey Hayward this season. Don't like that Rodgers doesn't have an individual award of significance since 2011. The universe has to be righted. Hayward is one of my favorite players in the NFL. Just **** me, right?

Don't know what the **** they think they're doing at nose tackle: Josh Boyd? Oh, the fifth rounder from 2013? Backup plan: Mike Pennel's Twitter rants after Arizona State won are forever burned in my memory). They really need Datone Jones to be anything.

13-3, if they're 15-20 in the league against the run or better. Seriously... check their schedule after the bye week.

 

[Hahahaha]

NE will be good. I never doubt BB. Adding the best CB in the game is scary. Bills and Jets defense is serious though. Curious to see what Miami is like.

Curious as to whether people think New England will run or pass more? Mankins, run blocker, being dealt leads you to believe passing.

Brady was third in DVOA passing in the second half of last season (just heard on BS Report).
But, Brady did look pretty awful on some throws last season. One of the only times during his career I remember him overthrowing guys to such a degree on a per game basis.

A significant drop off will come at some point, just don't know when. I don't like to predict it will happen until it happens though in the case of HOFs.

Watt truely is one of those few stars kids should aspire to look up too. His entire work up to this point is amazing. Working his *** off for years

 

[jaysfiend23]

I'm glad watt finally got paid he deserves it and I doubt NE runs more than they throw but interesting nonetheless

Might as well go ahead and apply to be a fan with fraij. Jeez.

Pack will certainly miss Raji but Hayward, Tramon, and Shields is one of the best corner trios in the entire NFL.

As the 4th or 5th best QB in the league, he's won his fair share of awards already. Nothing needs to be righted.

I remember watching Watt against MSU, his last year at Wisconsin. We got the W, but I swear the commentators said dudes' name like 20 times Was an absolute monster back then, and still is.

Glad to see him get paid.

Yeah because 30 years old and finally healthy for the most efficient regular season quarterback ever is not setting the scene at all.

Assuming Lacy picks up where he left off and the O-line is decent I'll give them 12 games they have tough stretch in the middle of the season NO, CHI, PHI back to back to back

Getting Peppers should allow them to be more creative with the rush, gonna be weird seeing him stand up in the 3-4 tho

You never can really tell it changes up on a week to week basis depending on the game plan, like after we lost Gronk towards the end of last season we started trying to pound it with Blount and Ridley

We picked up Wright in the trade which will allow us to run more double-tight and Lafell is a good run blocker so he'll factor in as well

Until his shaky pocket presence gets him injured again.

The Bengals are keeping Devon Still on the practice squad to help him pay for his daughter’s cancer treatment.
