Always....'interesting' to see this system in action every year. You play your godgiven talented ass off and are admired left and right as a fantastic talent, and your reward is being picked by the shittiest team in the league

 

At least it's pretty damn cool to see the Jaguars going not only for Lawrence but also the awesome Travis Etienne.

Yes, if Travis Etienne becomes the next Alvin Kamara like projected then Jax offense will look explosive. And they have the luxury of AFC South being a tire fire right now. Texans are a mess, Titans are limited to Derrick Henry carrying them on his back and God knows if Carson Wentz ever recovers to lift the Colts.

Not a huge fan of the Etienne pick.  They have a RB.  James Robinson was one of the better players on the team last year.  Sure, it's a nice story for Etienne and Lawrence to stick together, but the Jaguars had more pressing needs.  Although you're right, that division could be theirs for the taking sooner rather than later if Lawrence is the real deal.

Atlanta Falcons have traded WR Julio Jones to Tennessee Titans for picks.

 

Falcons are in rebuild mode and 32yo Jones will be a high-profile mercenary for a playoff contender. He is a Top 5 WR of the past decade but trending down due to age & injuries. He can still make a difference on the field even if he's not gonna post 1,000 rec yds anymore.

he's the perfect weapon to keep the defense honest and allow Henry to be even more devastating than he has been until now...

 

to me, now the Titans are legitimate SB contenders (if they can keep up with a healthy Mahomes on D)...

First week of training camps and Carson Wentz is out indefinitely with a foot injury already

Four months later and it looks like Jax will suck major ass again. OL is terrible based on preseason action and Etienne is basically out for the year with a foot injury.

 

New England Patriots have cut QB Cam Newton today which means Mac Jones will be the starter.

Regular season starts in 4,5 hours with Buccaneers vs Cowboys. Should be a straight-forward TB victory

[Monzanator 4,498]

Buccaneers beat Cowboys 31-29. Some bad turnovers by the Tampa offense made the score closer than it should have been.

[Monzanator 4,498]

Raiders beat Ravens 33-27 in OT on Monday Night Football! That was quite an upset. Just win, baby!
