That's all fair, and get where you're coming from. Frank Reich was pretty upfront re: his injury I thought at least, and I just reckon you're always going to downplay the injury even if you know he's never playing week one anyway, if just to try and keep your opponents in the dark for as long as possible. Get the frustration that causes for a fan though. And yeah, their lack of O-Line is ridiculous, Ryan Grigson needs some serious accountability. A QB from the 2012 draft with no O Line? I don't see why this would be a problem

Ryan Tannehill emerging as the clear standout from that draft...

Like a Sean Payton trick play, look how open Elizabeth Warren is down the middle

Preseason is done so what are your 2019 predictions ladzzz?
Tried to play things out in my head and my biggest taleaway was that so many divisions are an absolute bitch to call, especially the North and West in the NFC as well as the north in the AFC. Feel free to shit on this from a great height at any point between now and February.
NFC
PLAYOFF SEEDINGS 1. Eagles 2. Packers 3. Falcons 4. Rams 5. Saints 6. 49ers
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Eagles
AFC
PLAYOFF SEEDINGS 1. Chiefs 2. Jaguars 3. Patriots 4. Steelers 5. Ravens 6. Bills
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Chiefs (imagine I went into this genuinely trying to be objective lololololol)
SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS Eagles
All this is predicated on Carson Wentz staying healthy for an entire season 😬. Also, soz for not believing in the Cleveland experiment.

Your faith in the Eagles and 9ers baffles me. What have they done to show any sign they've improved on last year? Eagles win a weak NFC East and lose in the Wild Card round imo. SF could go 3-13 again, they've got one of the worst rosters in football.

SF could go 3-13 again, they've got one of the worst rosters in football. When you look at how close they were to making it back to the Championship game last year without any running threat and Wentz on the sidelines, can see why this off-season people may be high on the Eagles again this year. The biggest question mark is whether Wentz comes back as good as he was in 2017 and how he handles playoff football if the Eagles make it that far. But there's a lot to like with what they've done with the roster this off-season.

Jags CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSRavens SUPER BOWLFalcons Your faith in the Eagles and 9ers baffles me. What have they done to show any sign they've improved on last year? Eagles win a weak NFC East and lose in the Wild Card round imo. SF could go 3-13 again, they've got one of the worst rosters in football. The 49ers got Nick Bosa in the draft and Dee Ford from the Chiefs in free agency coming off a career year so the pass rush should be much better. Deebo Samuel was a solid pick at WR too. Jimmy G is a massive question mark but I still have faith in Shanahan to cook up enough scheme wise to make him look good. In the division the Seahawks have a lot of injuries and I’m expecting the Rams to regress as people really started to figure out McVay towards the end of last season. I’m only having them just sneaking in to the last wilcard spot so it’s by no means a lock. They seem to be perennial injury victims looking at recent history which worries me too. As for the Eagles, I still reckon they have one of the deepest rosters top to bottom. They’re seasoned pros in January football and wouldn’t be scared of anyone, even on the road. I also don’t see the same regression from them as I do in the likes of the Saints, Rams and Bears who were the best of the NFC last season. The Zeke situation could properly fuck up the Cowboys’ season (🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽) making their ride to the division a whole lot smoother. Also, healthy Wentz is fookin legit. I’m very pessimistic on the Texans btw. The Clowney situation is still unresolved and he makes JJ Watt so much better. Their starting RB tore his ACL in preseason, the O line really isn’t good so I worry for Deshaun’s durability and beyond Hopkins idk how many legitimately scary targets they have in their receiving corps. Was reading somewhere that their schedule has gone from one of easiest last season to one of the hardest in 2019 (was the biggest jump of all 32 teams iirc).

Dunno, I've never rated Wentz that highly, and I really don't rate Garoppolo at all.
Not sure which injuries you're on about for Seattle, either. Poona Ford MVP season incoming tbqfhwy
I dont think an improved pass rush solves SF's problems, notably that they don't have any meaningful offensive producers outside of Kittle, who played his best football with QBs not called Jimmy G as well

Not sure which injuries you're on about for Seattle, either. Seemed worse in my head but mainly Ziggy Ansah and the first round draft pick who’s replacing Frank Clark. Apparently, they could both be back within the first couple of games though even though they’ve been dealing with issues for a while. 🤷🏽♂️

If they acquire Tunsil, they're a better team even if Clowney goes the other way. Could put them in the conversation for AFCCG. Sometimes I think Watt would be fine rushing the QB on his own. Their WR Corps would have to perform but I imagine with Deshaun under center BOB won't have an issue scheming guys open while Dhops is double or triple covered.

Clowney to Seattle in exchange for a future 3rd, Jacob Martin and Barkevious Mingo
I've changed my mind on the Texans

Tunsil and Kenny Stills confirmed in exchange for two first round picks and a second. 😳 Carlos Hyde in at RB from the Chiefs for Martinas Rankin even though Lesean McCoy and Melvin Gordon were available. McCoy’s ended up at the Chiefs.

As a LeSean McCoy fantasy owner last year I’m convinced he’s past it so looking forward to his 2000 yard season this year
