    The Giants probably won't be awful this year--gotta give them credit for hanging with Jacksonville--but they haven't fixed their offensive line, and it will be their undoing. Saquon is the new Adrian Peterson: he'll churn out 2- and 3-yard carries, then suddenly explode for a 50-yard TD.

    Don't resist it. Embrace it.

    • Joe Flacco is elite (again).
    • Bills going 0-16.
    • Browns going 0-0-16.
    • Steve Sarkisian is about to go on another bender.
    • Saquon Barkley is great, but no one can block for him.
    • Ryan Fitzpatrick for MVP.
    • Khalil Mack for DPoY. Jon Gruden is not smart.

    Another brilliant episode. Poor Kim is so firmly leading Team Jimmy, setting herself up for emotional devastation. However Kim and Jimmy manage to drift apart, it will be very sad to watch.

     

     

    Regarding Sparty/F4E's conversation:

     

     

     

    It's definitely possible because remember Walt was in New Hampshire for a long time. Enough time for Saul to move to Omaha and get established as a Cinnabon manager? Remains to be seen.

    Phillies did a good job at the deadline. If they can pick up a good lhp in a couple weeks with a waiver power move they'd look pretty complete but they're still not that good defensively at all.

     

    That's a fair assessment. All things considered we're way ahead on the rebuild schedule and Gabe Kapler looks like a solid manager. We just have to enjoy the ride this year because it's going to be a tight division race. Everything after that is gravy.

     

    (The last time I talked about gravy, the Eagles won the Super Bowl, so...)

    Dang I lost track of this thread. Time to get caught up.

     

    I love what the Eagles did in the draft. They achieved their goal in trading down from 32nd overall (though I would have loved Sony Michel) and added extra picks. More importantly, they're loaded on picks for 2019, when they'll need them.

     

    Training camp just started, but Wentz is already doing 11-on-11 drills (although with no contact) and apparently moving around well. He's thrown a lot of INTs, but this is an encouraging start. Right now I'd say he's 60% or better to suit up week 1 against Atlanta.

    We've all heard various iterations of the stat about how many new playoff teams the NFL sees every year. The recent average was settling around 5, but last year we had 8 (!) new teams in the postseason.

     

    So, we'll make this simple. Take the 12 playoff teams from last year and eliminate half of them, replacing them with who else makes the playoffs, based on your predictions. Take divisions and wild cards into account.

     

    For record, here are the 12 from last season:

     

    :Pats:

    :Steelers:

    :jags:

    :Chiefs:

    :Titans:

    :Bills:

    :Eagles:

    :Vikings:

    :Saints:

    :Rams:

    :Falcons:

    :panthers:

     

    I'll chime in shortly; want to see what you guys come up with first so I can steal your ideas.

    With who? Embiid? No other 76er is nearly as good as DeRozan

     

    I was thinking Saric+Covingtion+2019 1st +2021 1st (unprotected from MIA). But that's only appealing if the Spurs want to do a little rebuild. I think, in getting DeRozan, they're saying they don't want to rebuild anything.
