    I have been supremely impressed with Wentz.  Havn't watched a game fully yet, but he looks like he's in control of the offense from what I've seen.  And people are quick to point out his opponents and rightfully so, but there have been a few throws where it wouldn't matter who he was playing against, were just perfect deeps balls.  Definitely looking like the Rams screwed the pooch on this one

    I'll hopefully get a better judgment on the Titans after week 2. Last 3 seasons Titans have looked impressive in the opener and have won 3 times. Of course we know what happens for the rest of the season. However it seems this preseason is the most I've heard people talk about the Titans. So maybe they can actually get to 6-8 wins. I just know they can't do any worse then last year 

    I would say based on the talent on your team anything less than a 6 or 7 win season is a bust.  You're not quite there yet to be a playoff team, but I think the Titans are a lot better than last year.  I really like your offense.  You have DeMarco (who I think is somewhere between where he was 2 years ago and last) plus Mariota is on his way to becoming a star.  The defense I really havn't heard too much about though

    I hope it is, cuz I'm going over to my friends house tomorrow to watch the Titans vs Vikings game, he is a Vikings fan. 

     

    Also we got you guys in week 2 CF21

     

    but I did look and I am about 95% sure it is free for week 1. Unless I was reading an old article 

    Thank you sir. 

     

    I'm interested to see that game next week.  Both of our teams I really don't know what to make of.

    Another question for all of you fantasy guys out there.  Got offered Ameer Abdullah for Deangelo Williams.  Obviously Williams is the better player for the first 3 games, unsure though how much involvement he'll get when Bell returns though.

    So annoyed I was out of town/country for my fantasy draft.  Team doesn't look that bad, but still miss the event itself.  14 person ppr league

     

    QB: Newton

    RB: David Johnson

    RB: Deangelo Williams

    WR: Jordy Nelson

    WR: Kelvin Benjamin

    TE: Eric Ebron (Will be replaced by Eifert on my bench when healthy)

    Flex: Matt Jones

    K: Blair Walsh

    Def: Rams

    Bench: Tyler Eifert, Matt Stafford, Devante Parker, Tevin Coleman and Isaiah Crowell

     

    Considering dropping either Coleman or Crowell for Terrelle Pryor but not sure.  What do you guys think?

    Yeah I think Gordon could definitely be had for the right price for the Browns.  He's now at the point every positive drug test is a year long suspension.  Even though if I was the GM I don't think I'd take the trade because what you would get for him, like you said a conditional mid-round pick, is nowhere near worth it if Gordon ever figures it out

    Lions have signed Anquan Boldin.  Even with no Megatron I am really liking the look of the new receiving core now.  Tate, Jones and Boldin with Ebron.  Plus Riddick and Abdullah coming out of the backfield.  A lot of options for defenses to worry about

    Josh Gordon gets reinstated with a 4 game ban to start the year.  Really excited to see if Gordon has still got it after being away for pretty much 2 years now.  If Griffin can show a little bit of what it was it could be a fun little combo for Browns fans to watch next year.  They're still going to win only 2 or 3 games next year though

    Holy crap best news I've heard in a long time.  First real post presence we've had since KG left town, and in reality he wasn't doing much the last year or 2 he was here anyways.  While Horford may not be a great player in any one area, he is very good in all, making him a great signing.  Add on to this that Durant reportedly wanted him in OKC, us still having room for a max level player (please Durant :wub:) and I am over the moon today.  Almost forgetting about draft day

    Looking back at it the Celtics draft looked bad all over. Dunn was on the table and they had multiple teams wanting to trade up for him including the Bulls and Sixers talking to them about Butler and Noel (Sixers reportedly offered Noel, Covington, the 24th, and 26th picks for the 3rd. The Celtics could have possibly taken that then used any combo of their 4 remaining 1st round picks to jump back up for Brown). On top of that they end up taking Brown who many had projected to not be selected until around 8th. They could have literally traded back a few spots and still got him even though his fit for them is still questionable as other players like Bender seemed to be a better fit.

     

    In addition all of the picks just seemed like reaches. Outside of Brown who had an ugly college season and finished it in horrible fashion (making 10 of the last 48 shots at 21%) and had fallen in the charts they also reached with their other firsts. Their 16th pick was used on a player projected to be a very last 1st round pick or high 2nd round pick then again with their 23rd pick. 

     

     

    These players may not end up being bad but the manner in which they went about getting them given all the doors just seems ugly to me.

     

     

    Celtics last 8 first round picks outside of these guys...

     

    MarShon Brooks
    Jared Sullinger
    Fab Melo
    Kelly Olynyk
    Marcus Smart
    James Young
    Terry Rozier
    R.J. Hunter

    Yeah it definitely isn't what I was hoping was gonna transpire last night.  Was hoping for a trade that would give us an established star to truly be able to compete with the Cavs and even Raptors.  Instead we basically just treaded water as an upper, middle tier Eastern team.  How I see Jaylen Brown turning out is essentially just what Jae Crowder is for us.

     

    Honestly the pick I'm most excited about is a toss up between that Guerschon Yabusele pick and Demetrius Jackson.  Yabusele has that unknown factor and from what it sounds like if he is able to develop should be a nice little small ball power forward who can shoot.  And as a Duke fan I have really grown to respect and like Jackson's game during those ACC matchups.  Will never be a star, but honestly think he should be a good spark to come off the bench for his career.

     

    But all in all when you have 8 picks and one of those in the top three.  If that is what you are most excited about it was probably not the greatest draft in history

    Celtics going for consistency with the Jaylen Brown pick.  They already have athletic guys who can defend, but can't shoot at every position.  Obviously needed another one.  Disappointed with their draft night as I was hoping for a trade, but I have faith in Trader Danny and Stevens

    LOL. What a joke. Only the Eagles. 

    Yeah if I were to make a list of the top 3-4 defensive linemen he'd be fringe top 5, probably just miss the cut.  I don't watch much of the Eagles so maybe I'm missing something here... Chip Kelly is gone so you'd think their moves might start making sense again.

    Hey everybody :lol:

     

    Been away and travelling/working for the last little bit in case some of you all were curious where your local Lions fan went off to.  Glad to be back and start talking football again.  So disappointed that this last year was my first time I didn't get to watch the Super Bowl in forever and I also was forced to miss my Lions annual Super Bowl as well (draft day).

     

    Can't wait to start catching up on everything that has happened in the sports world since I've been gone, only thing I really followed was I tried to watch a Raptors playoff game when it was possible.  Oh and plus I heard that deflategate had become a thing again.  Sort of glad I missed out on CDC at that moment

     

    Oh and p.s. I hold no grudge for giving my fantasy team away :P

    Lions need to rebuild. Build around guys Ansah, Abdullah, and Ebron. Trade Megatron and Tate. Those are valuable pieces. Teams are always looking for qb's and there will be takers for Stafford. 

     

    Abdullah has had a couple nice plays, but hasn't shown anything that says he should be built around.  Ebron is improving and could be that piece.  I say trade Johnson and Stafford in the next year or two to give us some serious cap flexibility to make room.  Plus you didn't include my favorite player and the guy who is the best on the defense and only played 11 snaps before going on season ending IR; Deandre Levy.  Dude just has a nose for the football.

    Overall though I honestly do believe that the problems this team has is more due to coaching mistakes than player talent.  The biggest weakness on the team shouldn't even be a weakness at all.  The offensive line has a few maulers on there, but instead of just telling them to go out and dominate the guy on the other side they play this zone blocking scheme that half the time an assignment is missed for one reason or the other.

    My best case scenario for the new GM is the player personnel guy in Cincy Duke Tobin.  That is such a complete team on all sides of the ball which is, obviously, what you want your team to be.  Either that or anybody from the Pats organization because they obviously do something right in terms of finding players there.

    When Philbin was hired, I posted in this thread that he would never succeed and when he left Miami it'd be because he lost the room because he doesn't have the personality to command respect, credentials only go so far. Tannehill is crap and always has been and always will be.

    As a Pats fan, I hope they extend Philbin and Tannehill

    Pretty sure they already have extended Tannehill. Philbin will most likely be gone soon though.

    Also is Suh the new Haynesworth?
