We just have no rights to talk about draft whiffs by other teams as we have screwed up first round picks and second round picks for eternity until we picked gonzo- maye - Campbell in last 3 years .

We just have no rights to talk about draft whiffs by other teams as we have screwed up first round picks and second round picks for eternity until we picked gonzo- maye - Campbell in last 3 years .

Let's not even mention the last years Draft after Drake Maye *something stinks*. Some of those Stiffs can't even stick on a NFL Taxi Squad.

The weekly 'power rankings' that every football/sports website feels compelled to publish, because every one of their competitors write as well, can be mildly entertaining opinion pieces.

But to show how meaningless they are, just look how quickly some of these lists turned into a Freezing Cold Take in the matter of just two weeks.

NFL Power Rankings entering Week 5: Bills have a perfect opportunity for elusive Super Bowl

The path forward to that top seed appears clear. The rest of the AFC East doesn't look like much of a threat.

sports.yahoo.com

1.) Buffalo Bills
2.) Philadelphia Eagles
3.) Detroit Lions
4.) LA Rams
5.) LA Chargers

They also had Tampa Bay #9, SF #13, Baltimore #14.
The Patriots were #21, behind Washington, Arizona and Chicago, among others.


Fox Sports similarly had the Bills-Eagles 1-2. I'll give them credit for placing Tampa Bay #6, but at the same time they still had the Ravens in their top-ten.

The Patriots were #24, behind Washington (16), Arizona (17), Chicago (19), Dallas, Cincinnati and Houston.


NFL.com was more of the same, with Washington at #11.

Where's the freakin' Steal of The Draft thread now?

I have every faith you'll find it.

 

[Steve102]

It all is so childish.

It's like a kid who gets a great gift at Christmas but is pissed off that his brother/sister got something cool too.

Grow the **** up, everyone! Other people get gifts too, some better, some worse.

Same thing when we move on from a player and that player ends up finding a useful role elsewhere.

It's like a boyfriend/girlfriend you move on from, guess what, they don't just turn into a pillar of salt, they move on with their life.

A grownup would accept it, but most fans act like butt-hurt children.

I don't think it's that. It's just keeping the receipts on a guy who was certain the Pats eff'd up and rooted for him to fail.

If we don't hold each other accountable we're no better than Chefs fans

A first round pick lol

Whoa, Mister Irrelevant is barely roster-worthy as a rookie??

Poor Cap'n, only 6 games in and you're already having to stretch to complain about this draft class. It seems only yesterday you were happily foaming with fury over Campbell, Woodson & co. Seriously, the draft went fabulously for a change. Enjoy it.

Who wants to see captain cotton candy? We've already seen sunshine sam and it was honestly weird.

 

[Steve102]

Nah. He's going to be 27 before season end. If you're gonna take this guy while giving up a R1 pick, then you want him under contract for 5 yrs. He's a good player, but I don't think he's "Him", a guy that warrants giving up a R1 pick.

There's still a lot of holes to fill on this roster. Drake has made the receivers all suddenly look a lot better. Imagine that, right? A good QB that is ascending raises the level of the wideouts. Who knew? I'm not suggesting they stand pat, pun intended. I think they need to be very selective about giving up a R1 pick at this point. The guy they do that for needs to be The Guy, no matter the position.

I don't think it's that. It's just keeping the receipts on a guy who was certain the Pats eff'd up and rooted for him to fail.

If I'm parsing this right, you're referring to MJ feeling the Pats f'd him up and wanted him to fail?

If so I agree with him: Bill f'd him up by not providing competent coaching in the 2022 season, and by the end of the 2023 season, Bill wasn't even talking to him.

Mac clearly has his own issues in terms of talent and maturity, but overall, I feel he's justified if he feels let down by Bill.

As a @Steve102 whisperer of sorts I feel I can confidently say, that was solely about our boy Sam's unhealthy obsession with 'Steal Of The Draft' Josh Simmons

Talking about Simmons vs Campbell and posters who wanted Campbell to fail. Not to change the subject, but Bill absolutely eff'd Jones. No question. Jones would have been adequate with JMcD as his OC, just as he's adequate with Shanny. Jones was never going to be a stud, but he probably had a Tannehill ceiling.

 

[captain stone]

I dunno, the RT of KC moves early pretty much every play.

And is lined-up well beyond the legal LOS limit... But Browning of America Queefs, so...

 

[Bill Lee]

As a @Steve102 whisperer of sorts I feel I can confidently say, that was Sally about our boy Sam's unhealthy obsession with 'Steal Of The Draft' Josh Simmons

Oops, I let threads collide, my bad.

Whisperer?

 

[Steve102]

Happens to the best of us, Spaceman.

 

[captain stone]

And their LT (no matter who it is) has lined up 3 feet behind the LOS for the past 5 years!

Beat me to it!

This was Never a dynasty; it was - and still Is - a Criminal Conspiracy.

I hope that wasn't really Sam 'cause I reported his account as hacked
