Watson needs someone to help massage his stats.

Shell + Hopkins = Shopkins. Just missing the 2nd part of that equation.

I was being a little tongue in cheek, as I totally agree with your take. When the Pats were winning Super Bowls, the last thing the league would want is for a crowned Super Bowl champ to be deemed a fraud. The league had a lot of incentive to turn a blind eye and downplay anything the Pats were doing against the rules at that point, because it would bring into question the entire integrity of the NFL. Now that the Pats aren’t winning, it makes one wonder if the league is quicker to punish them for their violations of rules.

Yes

Are you suggesting that the league turned more of a blind eye when the Pats* were winning Super Bowls?

A commentator unlike any other

I agree with you that Jags will be tough. Lawrence will be entering his third NFL season now and getting a weapon in Calvin Ridley. And Etienne will be second season removed from his injury. On the question posed by the OP, I’d prefer an easier to middle of the pack schedule, whatever ultimately would increase our chances to earn the bye. Unfortunately, I think we have our work cut out for ourselves this year.

Maybe I’m calling for 14 formation then?

I’d prefer Gronk instead, but if we landed Gronk and Ertz, maybe we could actually play some 10 formation.

This schedule is awesome. Bye week late in season when we’ll need it, right before we play the Chiefs too. Lots of primetime games as well. Definitely looks tough but let’s go!

I do like the spreadsheet to help consolidate everything 😎, thanks for doing that and sharing.

Jax is on 10/8.

If true, sounds like a great winter getaway trip. Plus playing Jax in London; We gotta have at least two home night games, don’t we?

Or you could look at it like Rodgers will be fresh to start the year and it’s good for the Jets. Good litmus test for both teams to start the year though.

Both the players and us fans deserve a warmer weather game next Dec…let’s go NFL!

Wanted a distraction from those concerned about Josh’s fashion choices.

Now is Beane’s chance to swoop back in: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/05/09/browns-waive-marquez-stevenson/amp/

Who might have the least hope? Pats* fans*?

Cobbs is washed up IMO, but Rodgers is going to have as good a surrounding team as he’s maybe had in his career. I’m thinking the Jets are going to be a different animal than a Tua or Russell Wilson led team. Hope I’m wrong.

If he weren’t feeling so tense these days, he likely wouldn’t have the urge to drive so fast. On the bright side, this should earn him a raise with the Browns.

Thanks for the thread. Given the new additions, I think you’re a little heavy in terms of production for Diggs, Davis & Knox, and overall TDs. With the new mouths to feed and younger players developing (Cook, Shakir), I’d see some of the vets’ getting relief in targets. But who knows, could open some of them up more instead! Will be interesting to see where Dorsey wants to go with this offense.
