NFL Season 2015/2016

[Jay]

So you're backing off of your Packers vs Colts prediction for a second straight season, Jukes? Maybe change it up a bit next year ;)

I'm sticking with my pre-season prediction of Pats vs Cardinals.

Can't wait to pound the Colts again in the AFC championship. But not sure we'll beat the NFC winner this year. Since you stole my pick (Pack) :P I'll back Arizona getting hot late in the season and causing an upset.

Got the AFC opponent horribly wrong, but the SuperBowl matchup is a big chance. Not going to jinx my team by picking them to win it all though.. Worked last year :P

Steelers beat Bengals
Chiefs beat Houston
Seattle beat Vikings
Redskins beat Packers

Denver beat Steelers
Patriots beat Chiefs
Seattle beat Carolina
Cardinals beat Redskins

Patriots beat Denver
Arizona beat Seattle

Patriots vs Cardinals

I'm happy with the Ravens effort despite losing 3/4 of their top side... Getting all those players fresh and ready to go for next season we should reach the playoffs. Just wish we didn't beat Steelers... Would of ended up with like Pick 3.. But it was worth sweeping the Steelers... Joey Bosa would of been a shoe in for Pick 3, but with Pick 6 I would see ourselves getting Jaylon Smith, the man is just a beast.

Seattle are suddenly good again. Crap.

15-1 has to count for something though, if not a great home town support and confidence. Hopefully the Hawks and Vikings bruise eachother up a little bit ;)

No Jordy no packers

Unless they learn to get Janis and Abbrederis involved they'll struggle mightily to get past the second week.

Cards had nothing to play for, wouldn't take that result into consideration too much.



Btw love you Blaine Train <3 who needs Goff, just trade up for Bosa and I'll be chuffed (although that's the winning option and won't happen so we'll take some meh WR or DB)

And the Crosby forced fumble has got to be in the top 5 plays of the season!

3rd pick in the draft yew 8)

Do you think you take Lynch?

will take abit of time but thats ok with Romo. Or punt on Manziel?

Goff another option but prefer Lynch.

the O line doesnt need much so Ronnie Stanley, Laremy Tunsil not needed.

Joey Bosa would be great but I reckon he goes 1 or 2.

the other option is a cornerback in Vernon Hargreaves III

[Jukes]

I prefer Lynch too, although both should be great quarterbacks (better than the top two taken last year). Goff will likely be much better from the get-go which may attract certain teams, while Lynch still needs development but has the skills to dominate in the future. And let's not forget the last Cal QB to be passed on by 20+ NFL teams - he's a two-time MVP.

Cook, Hogan, Hackenberg, Kessler, and even Taysom Hill (missed most of 2015) and Doughty and Wentz (play against showerty opposition) should be good future QBs if given a chance

Hopefully we trade up and grab Bosa (literally the best defensive prospect in a fair few years), and would love to take one of those other QBs later on, add maybe a Scooby Wright into the mix and I'm gold. But it'll probably be some random spuds at positions that don't even matter that much (see: DBs and non-goat DL) yet again (flower taking Armstead and Tartt over Peters and Mad Maxx)

Peyton is back in the game...

I saw that, reckon the Broncos will probably take it now. Was really hoping brock would play out the game.

hasnt done anything special so far, now they down 3 though...

its all square. He has been ok hasnt done too much 5/8 for 69 aint bad. At least he isnt turning it over. Doing enough to get McManus in range and did do that drive to get Anderson the touchdown.

yeah i think he has done enough to take the job

From a Pats fan perspective, I'm stoked that Denver will be starting Manning. He hasn't been good for like 14 months. The media is doing a great job slobbering over him, but the dude threw 17 picks in his 10 games this year. He'll single handedly lose them a playoff game, just not sure when. I would have definitely stuck with Osweiler, at least he could game manage.

Pagano signed an extension.

Pagano signed an extension.

Kept their GM too. Hope they enjoy mediocrity.

[RiOtChEsS]

not sure who we take at 3, be really surprised if it was a QB with that pick...

[Capper]

haha Dawson won San Francisco’s most valuable player
