NFL - Discussion Thread

Rumor is Washington maybe traiding Jonathan Allen to the Saints for Marshon Lattimore. Is this a good deal? I don't know much about Marshon Lattimore. The other option I'm hearing is Marshon Lattimore for a third round pick.

Rough week at the moment. Did not see Saints, Vikings, Bucs, and Raiders winning. lol

I've got all those wrong too Warrior13 so unless steelersrock01 has too which I think he has you have been let off the hook. steelersrock has though got the Miami game so he is gaining ground. Still have the late games to finish.

Dallas got hammered by the Saints which surprised me, also can't figure out how the Raiders beat the Ravens. Have to keep an eye on the Saints and Tampa Bay, Carr and Mayfield are playing decent football.

I see Colin Kaepernick's name has been linked with the Dolphins to the dismay of Miami fans. I don't think that will happen anyway.

The Giants scored three Touchdowns against Washington who didn't score any and they still lost. It's safe to say the Washington kicker won that game.

Looks like we all tied this week. Not bad, I guess. Still a rough week by our standards. A lot of strange upsets this week.

Steelers up two games on both the Ravens and Bengals could be huge. Great start to the year for them.

Miami is in trouble. I hope they sign Beathard, but I have a bad feeling they might just roll with Skylar Thompson and pick up some no name backup. Tua has said he is not retiring, but that could just be a financial decision. I read somewhere that he might have had to pay some money back to the Dolphins if he retired before the end of this season.

Nice start for the Steelers but man is the offense concerning. The defense isn't going to be able to hold people under 10 points every week and the back half of the schedule is brutal. I do think Wilson will bring a bit more juice to the offense.

Who would have thought Washington would be leading the NFC East on week 2. I think we are going to see some new teams emerge as Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. Teams like Detroit, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and New Orleans have improved considerably from what I am seeing. Teams like Dallas, Philadelphia, and the 49rs look a bit suspect at the moment losing games they should have won comfortably.

Man, this week is tough because of how the cards fell last week. So many 0-2 teams will be playing desperate, but will that be enough to get them the win? I seriously do not know with some of these games. Not confident at all.

Same. I'm undecided on like 4 or 5 of these.

I have my picks set, but I might change some before Sunday. Very difficult games to pick this week, and the unknown about some injuries are adding another layer to it all.

I agree, some tricky games this week. Just wondering, I've noticed that teams that have invested in a top running back recently in the draft seem to be doing well. Is ball control football on the ground returning?

I doubt it, but you cannot win big if your team is one dimensional. Even the Chiefs know they need some type of run game to help open things up for the pass.

It does seem like some teams are more run-heavy now. I'm not sure if it's because pass defenses are better or general quarterback play is worse, but we're way below the average on passing TDs so far this season. I think a lot of it is pass rushers are so damn good and pass protection isn't great right now.

I think you may be right steelersrock01, I keep hearing that the most important position on the field after Quarterback is Defensive End which would back up your comment.

Washington are going to get destroyed Monday night, Tee Higgins is back and Washington doesn't have a healthy secondary. Chase and Higgins are going to feast, I see at least four Touchdowns between the pair of them. Plus the Bengals are desperate to win a game with two losses already.

Gardner Minshew is playing decent football with the Raiders, will he keep the spot or will the Raiders look for a replacement in the draft?

Tua is being called an 'idiot' for continuing to play football. The guy is in a difficult position, must be tough to walk away from all those millions which would ensure the security of his family for a few generations.

Locked in my picks, but I am still not feeling confident. This week could be ugly for me. lol

A lot of people are saying Bryce Young to the Dolphins. If Tua is done, I would not mind this at all.

I've heard that rumor too Warrior13, I'm wondering how much the confidence of Bryce Young has been damaged during his time at the Panthers. The NFL is harsh with these supposedly next elite quarterback prospects from college. Caleb Williams is another hotshot college quarterback that is getting a rough introduction to the NFL.

I'm having a bad week in the competition, all of a sudden the Giants are putting up points and beating the Browns, Minnesota trounced Stroud and the Texans, and Denver are looking hot beating Mayfield and the Bucs.

Yeah, really tough slate for me this afternoon. Just this morning I switched from GB to TEN and from MIN to HOU and got burned on both. At least the Steelers won.

Andy Dalton is on fire, Bryce Young will definately get traded now. Panthers look half decent with Dalton leading them.

Mike: I did last minute switches to the Vikings, Bears and Ravens. Went 2-1 in those games, so not too bad. Bears should have easily won that game; Caleb has had a really rough start to his career. Switched to Vikings because Jefferson was said to be playing while Mixon was out. Originally went with the Ravens, then switched to the Cowboys, only to switch back. Last weeks upsets made this week very hard to predict.

My niece (the youngest picker in our family at age 6) went 2-14 in a pretty normal week 1. However, she went 9-7 last week and is currently 11-2 this week. I think this just proves that the past two weeks have been way crazy, as she just picks randomly like any kid.

Just watched the Panthers game and can say without a doubt Bryce Young is history, the Red Rifle looked like an elite quarterback for Carolina. Should of had four Touchdowns, only the reciever not keeping his foot inbounds prevented it. I doubt Miami will want Young now after it is clear he was the problem and not the players around him.

Yeah Young has looked very very bad. Last week there were all kinds of articles about how he just needs a chance and Carolina has done nothing to surround him with talent. Then dusty old Dalton comes in and dominates with the same team. Terrible look for Young. He's just too small. Short and no muscle. He looks like a little kid out there. I'm not a big guy and I look bigger. He'll float around as a backup for a while as teams take a swing on him (just like trey Lance) but you have to think his career is effectively over.
