2013/2014 NFL Thread: Attack of the Matts

[WalkingDeadMike]

I did earlier this year ,so a lot has changed (perhaps sub Packers for Falcons/Saints)

I'm a diehard Giants fan, and I have a hard time seeing us winning the division, let alone being 1st in the conference. Unless JPP has a bounce back year and goes back to being a top 10 defensive player in the NFL, our defense will be awful. The offense will be good, but they're going to be asked to basically carry the team, and I'm not so sure they can throughout a whole season.

Saints and Redskins make the playoffs? Ehhhhhh...

The NFC is too stacked for them to make the playoffs. Let's be honest, the Redskins only made the playoffs last year because of the Giants' collapse. I don't see that happening again. In addition, RG3 won't be running The Pistol as much this season. As for the Saints, I could care less if Payton is back at the helm. That defense is still putrid, and now they're a 3-4 with no personnel to make that conversion. Brees would have to throw for 5,000 yards and 50 TDs to even have a shot at a Wild Card spot.

1.) Packers
2.) Seahawks
3.) Falcons
4.) Niners
5.) Bears
6.) Giants


If the Colts make it to the AFC Championship, that'll be a testament to how shallow the AFC is nowadays. That said, Luck and those Colts ain't beating that Bengals defense. As for the rest, who cares? Denver is a clear favorite to win the AFC this season.

Well, other fanbases can't say that the media isn't biased towards Cam now. ESPN must really hate him.

Welp, 49ers have traded A.J. Jenkins to the Chiefs, oh well. **shrugs**

So the Seahawks and Niners both win the West?

You do realize a contender can still attend the playoffs without winning the division... right?

You do realize division winners get the 1-4 seeds right?

Except my rankings weren't seed related.

AJ Jenkins was a bad fit for you guys any way. He belongs in a vertical offense, not a WCO. That, and y'all drafted him way too early (third round prospect).

 

[Hush]

Matt, the o-line doesn't look that good but Ben looks very good tonight. That's gotta make you happy.

 

[Mr. Dent]

Cousins pretending to be hurt so they'll put RG3 out.

 

[Warhammer]

My goodness, that Pittsburgh offensive line. I know it's only pre-season, but damn. I wonder which game Big Ben gets injured in. Game 7 maybe.

 

[Hush]

Yeah they pulled him early. I mean even for pre-season. This line is porous and Steelers will pay for it.

I'd be worried about Eric Reid too. The Niners drafted him much too early in my opinion. Reid appeared average without Peterson, Claiborne and Mathieu in the secondary.

It's always fun watching Big Ben dance around in the pocket.

 

[MrMaooz]

Damn...that game was boring.

 

[Kaleb]

Too make matters worse for Steelers ,Bell has a midfoot sprain,expected to be out for a few weeks,those injuries always linger.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Unlike Jenkins, I think Reid has been getting good reviews in camp this year.

 

[Matt]

Rape a couple girls, get a four game suspension. Smoke some pot, the Commish wants to give you eight games off.

 

[Donut]

I wonder what Antonio Smith is gonna get for that Incognito Helmet hit

looks like 2 preseason games.......preseason

 

[Donut]

That is a joke of a punishment

True but it's still camp. I felt the Niners jumped the gun on that pick (no other teams had him on their first round boards). Reid is a hard-hitting safety but his senior year at LSU worried the hell out of me. He was quite average in coverage. That said, your front seven could hide some of his deficiencies.

Never be convicted of rape, get a four game suspension. Smoke some pot, the Commish wants to give you eight games off.

Fixed that for you.

Definitely. And we may have reached for him, but honestly, our front office has a habit of doing that in the draft. I think I'm much prefer an aggressive front office that makes moves and reaches to get the right guy (i.e. Anthony Davis) than a timid front office that just sits and hopes everything falls into place (the general manager we had before Baalke)
