Bit like the Savage play in the Sharks game, only requires 1 big play to see it. He might have 4 catches for 35-36, but the 5th he breaks a tackle and goes 24-25yds for a TD and BOOM!

2021 season predictions:

NFC division winners
Tampa Bay
Rams
Green Bay
Football team

Ravens

NFC Championship - Bucs beat Rams
AFC Championship - Bills beat Chiefs
Super bowl - Bills beat Bucs

MVP - Mahomes wins his 2nd

DPOY - Myles Garrett

OROY - Najee Harris
DROY - Micah Parsons

Conference standings

NFCE
Washington
Dallas
Giants
Eagles
Comments: Giants Oline will destroy their chances. Eagles aren’t that bad, but by the second half of the season they’ll be in tank mode, and we’ve seen the lengths they’ll go to when in that position.

NFCS
Bucs
Saints
Panthers
Falcons

NFCW
Rams
Seahawks
Niners
Cardinals
Comments: I’ve said a few times that Kyler is overrated. Not to say he isn’t good, but people gush over his highlight plays rather than looking at the whole package. I think the Cardinals are in for a dud year in a tough division.

NFCN
Packers
Vikings
Bears
Lions

AFCE
Bills
Patriots
Dolphins
Jets

AFCS
Colts
Titans
Jaguars
Texans

AFCN

Has Washington really improved or is the division just the usual tyre fire?

VERY interested to see how this goes
I still think he can play, i think that jets situation was a disaster and i think the limited miles on his legs in the last few years give him a shot to come out firing

The ravens really could use a guy like him if he's anywhere close to his best.

100%. Even a 70% effective Bell will be a great change up there. They make RBs look good at Baltimore

Football is back baby, and i love it
Cowboys offence looking pretty solid, if that OL holds up they're going to tough to beat in the NFC E
Brady and Bucs are rusty but havent got out of 2nd gear and handling this game pretty well so far

Harsh on Diggs pick. He had to get into place for that screen, even if Fournette botched it.

Big OPI non call helps hand the Bucs the game.
Think the no call is defensible because it was close, but it did look like OPI to me

Unlucky Matt. I fell asleep at 28-26 with about 10 mins to go and was surprised to wake up with 1 min to go and Dallas were up 29-28.
Didn’t expect Dallas to be leading so late in the game. But alas.
Final score Bucs 31 Cowboys 29

Last year we had no schemed up plays or strategies for our opponents. We were all over this 1, stay away from their front 4 and pick on the 1 on 1 coverage. I hope we have more of this as the season goes on. Our offense was huuuuuuuuuuuuumming! Man we are gonna put up pts if we stay healthy. All our receivers we good, both Coop and CD over 100 with TDs, and our TEs did the relief work beautifully.

On D we mixed it up, but our front got pressure. Our run D was lightyears ahead of last yr. Parsons was everywhere, but did bite a few times, but thats Brady being Brady. 4 TOs is beautiful. Be it Brady mistakes or not, 4 is huge, 2 fumbles and 2 INTs is a great start, and a confidence boost.

Zuerlien.... oh my! OK, kicked what was the go ahead FG, but geez! Get you S@t together! Cant miss ExPts or 30yders.

Mailata signed, 4 year $64MM deal, $40.85MM guaranteed. Well done young man. Glad he didn’t stick around playing rugby league. That’s some generational wealth right there - your family and your descendants are set for life.
