Bill Belichick retires

Hopes:

Dolphins over everybody.

Baker dominates and the panthers win the division

predictions:

Texans already have their franchise QB and they find out for sure this season.

Steelers are not that bad, but will have a brutal record - top 10 pick

Broncos are not as good as people think

Bears are picking first in the draft next year

Agree with Texans. Think Mills will be good.

Steelers will live & die by their defense but won't score much.

Completely agree on the Donks. I think Russell Wilson is starting to regress.

Bears over Seattle for the first pick? I'll take Fields over Geno Smith & Drew Lock any day. Bears will still suck.

Fill in the blank: Green Bay finishes with _ division losses. 

I’ll go 3. They lose at Minnesota and at Detroit. Not sure about the third. Maybe at Chicago but doubt it. Maybe at home to Minnesota.

Packers over Chargers in the superbowl

Observations:

I love Dan Campbell and this was my favorite hard knocks yet.

GB in the Superbowl?

Finally have a Defense. ARod is the best QB going. It's all lining up this year.

Gonna be tough for GB. A-Rod is great but his receiving corps leaves something to be desired.

I'd go with SF to rep the West, assuming Lance falters (as I suspect) and Jimmy G takes over. Niners are the most complete team in the NFC, imo. 

Tampa will always get "love" from the media but their O-Line is sketchy and TB12 doesn't thrive when pressured. Plus the looming TB12/Gisele potential divorce rumors will linger over the franchise.

They've always had a good defense though? And losing your only true 1 receiver i dunno man lol. I mean I agree Rodgers is one of the best ever... I just feel like people aren't recognizing what not having a 1 receiver means to an offense. 

“Mad Dog” Chris Russo just predicted the Colts over the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. Wtf?

That's what we call "moron take artist looking for attention" predicting.

Colts are very good to elite all over the place. I wouldn’t say they are favorites, but definitely wouldn’t be shocked. Made the playoffs with Rivers and nearly made it with fucking Wentz last year lol.

Cowboys…ehhhhh

I mean... I could see the Colts... No way on Cowboys though lol.

I think it’s plausible both teams make the playoffs. Even likely that the Colts do. But I can’t see them then winning several playoff games. I think they’d both be first round exits. 

Meh.

Guess I can spend the first few Sunday's of the season kayaking if the weather is nice.

Robert Saleh said the earliest Zach Wilson will be available is Week 4 against the Steelers. #Jets

You might not like this but it's the smart thing to do. Saleh's in a no win situation starting Wilson. If he goes out injured, and reinjures it, he's crucified. If Wilson goes out and plays terrible the "well he wasn't 100%" excuse which begs the question "why the Hell did you put him out there?"

I expect the Colts to win that division outright. Not overly impressed with the Titans. Henry has a helluva lot of tread on those tires and will Tannehill be shell shocked from his playoff meltdown? Colts had a better overall roster last year but were missing the QB. Matty Ice should have enough left to win them the division.

I'm not necessarily upset he's not starting week 1. I just have no interest in watching Joe Flacco out there. What is annoying is that yesterday he was saying Zach might start and today it's he won't start until week 4 at the earliest.

Yeah, I heard that about him potentially starting and I feel ya. I have not interest in watching Jacoby Brisket lead the Browns either. TBH, I'd have a lot more confidence if the Browns had kept Case Keenum.

Looks reasonable…I’m not in on the Eagles like that. Dolphins not getting the love but I don’t disagree. I suppose I’m the only person that sees the Browns having a good season.

The Saints at #6….??

I like some of these especially David Mills

Chicago is bad but so is Atlanta and Seattle. I think Seahawks get the first pick. I also think Packers drop off.

Hate GB being that high. I think Eagles all comes down to Hurts. This will be the season we find out if he’s for real. 

Rams 33

Bills 31

That Bills TD play was nice.
