Buccs and Titans are playoff-bound IMO. Ravens as well, it depends on the AFC West standings.

I think the Panthers and Cardinals will both miss the postseason once again and I think the Eagles (hate to say it) can do some damage next season, it will be a hard fight in the NFC East (I still can´t believe the Giants didn´t upgrade their O-line).


Yeah.

Too bad about that.

:rock:

They would rather give all there money to old players with missing fingers and trying to get our players suspended to stay competitive with us. :wink: :lol:

That O-line is even worse than I thought, they´ll be dead last in the NFC East... Congrats to Dallas and Philly for reaching the playoffs on day 1.

Jags' D looks legit. They have alot of high draft picks on D, if they can turn into an elite defense and Bortles just plays decent, they could turn into a legit team, just like what the Raiders did in 2016

Don't worry dude. At least the Giants defense is formidable. But it's a long season and you don't have the Redskins until late.

And therein lies your dilemma.

They won´t reach the postseason this year and it´s no surprise IMO. Dallas will be top-notch if guys like Zeke, Lawrence,... can stay on the field and won´t be suspended (like every year) and the Eagles upgraded their team significantly, no way the Giants will have a better record... 5-11

That's the thing about the Cowboys defense from last night which didn't get mentioned... guys like Irving who are suspended as well as Carroll and Wilson who are still "possibles".

Giants have to figure out how to run the ball. Plain and simple. They looked so one-dimensional last night it wasn't funny. Eli is dangerous when he can get time. And - OBJ isn't going to be the complete answer there.

One last thing - Marshall. What the hell was he doing last night?

He´s done, plain and simple.

Giants had the NFL´s worst offseason... Let´s hope for next year´s draft and Nate Soldier.

I fully agree but don't feel sorry for them.

Was I a year off when I took the Jaguar's as a sleeper pick last year. Is this the year they start making noise? I believe this defense is beyond for real and all Bortles has to do now is manage the game instead of trying to win it all the time being down 2 or 3 t.d.'s by half time. And for you fantasy lovers, Marguise Lee is not a down grade from Allen Robinson.
