NFL 2019

The guy the Raiders drafted with the first pick they got for Mack currently has more sacks than Mack.

Correction: They got Josh Jacobs with the pick who has been great. But Mack's lineup replacement I believe has more sacks than him.

[Carlos Buschtran 10,713]

The Bengals are the first team eliminated from the playoffs, earliest a team has been mathematically eliminated since 2002.

[Maxx 18,534]

I’m going to go ahead and guess the first team mathematically eliminated that year was also the Bengals

I just realized the high pick I was happy that we would at least get isn't ours is it? Still paying for Mack right?

Yeah, Raiders have your 1st and 3rd rounder for 2020 IIRC

Maxx Crosby is bringing the sacks, dudes been balling out. Ferrell doesn't have the stats, but has started to come on.

Yeah I still don't regret the Mack trade. Actually glad it worked out for both teams. We have too many injuries right now though so everyone can focus on shutting Mack down

[damsher hatfield 9,587]

Yeah I think long-term having Mack is huge given how quickly a team can turnover a roster. It's like Denver with Von Miller or the Texans with JJ Watt. You have a generational centerpiece.

Raiders loading up on talent is great for them too, and avoiding a massive Mack deal can help them spend that money elsewhere.

[DMN 4,055]

Mack showed his value in 2016, it seemed like he made every play the Raiders needed defensively. The drawback to that is it set an expectation that maybe only Lawrence Taylor could live up to. 

I still think the Bears can get it together, though maybe not this season. Honestly, they have two second rounders, maybe package them together to get into the mid-late first and grab Tua after he falls.

[damsher hatfield 9,587]

Tua's expected to start throwing in March so he may not deal with that feared draft slide.

[The Chiksrara Special 32,374]

Don't get my hopes up! I already imagined Tua as a Bear and my Uncle making inappropriate comments about his last name

The Bears should be like the Ravens with Lamar and have zero contact with him until you draft him to the surprise of everyone. Catch all the other teams off guard.

[Carlos Buschtran 10,713]

Philip Rivers sure loves his arm punts.

I think he definitely falls out of the top 10, especially if he's just starting to throw in March. Even if he doesn't, one of the top QBs will likely be available in the middle of the first.

I'm not sure they'll do that to Mitch, maybe work on the offensive line instead.

I could see Cam Newton or Andy Dalton ending up in Chicago next year tbh.

It would be amazing if it was Dalton

[damsher hatfield 9,587]

I think a lot of the Cam leaving Carolina talk is baseless. Everyone assumes because they can move on from him this off-season they will, but Kyle Allen is trash and I doubt Will Grier will be much more.

Give Cam as much time off as needed to get healthy and get him back out there with CMAC and see what happens.

[Lineklaus 38,084]

Miami have cut Mark Walton.

Apparently a "police matter" has arisen.

I think that's going to cool off the more Kyle Allen struggles. Then again people have wanted him out of there since day 1 really so maybe not that much. 

[The Chiksrara Special 32,374]

Dalton is still better than we have

Kind of like saying you’d rather have diarrhea than vomiting. Neither are ideal. 😛

It's a bit like our current general election. We have a choice between a punch in the face or a kick in the balls.

Hey, only I get to disrespect the leprechaun like that

[DMN 4,055]

I don't give a fuck what NFL Films thinks, they put the 1976 Raiders at 8, right behind the 2007 Patriots, but I will take that team against any team in NFL history. 13-1, avenged that loss in the playoffs, best offensive line of all time (first one to say Hog gets punched, Art Shell and Gene Upshaw are better than Mark fucking May), top five secondary of all time, John Madden, Ken Stabler, Al Davis all at the top of their game.

They're before my time, but the one thing you learn as a Raiders fan is about that team.

[damsher hatfield 9,587]

Ah, yes, the famous champions of the 2007 regular season who lost a game in the regular season except Rex Ryan called a timeout that nobody heard until after the play.

'76 Raiders are legends. Better than those '72 Dolphins and maybe only eclipsed by 1 Pittsburgh team in that decade.

[Meacon say “Feliz Navidad” 25,483]

Nah. Overrated.
