NFL 2021 Regular Season!

I don't think we will know what the NFC East is until 6 weeks into the season. All the teams have good potential and deep flaws.

Well, my Eagles have plenty of flaws. The coaching staff is young and unproven, QB Jalen Hurts has only four starts under his belt, the receivers are green as grass, and the offensive line is aging. The team will have to lean on its defense early until the offense finds its groove.

[Gray Lensman]

Ability wise, Rogers is a better QB than Brady, but Brady has the 7 rings.

I disagree slightly. Rogers is a better passer than Brady, but I think Tom does the rest of the job better than Aaron does. Passing is certainly the most easily measured part of being a QB, but there's a lot more to it than just chucking the rock.

Rodgers is probably one of the best deep ball passers of all time. If you need a 50 plus yard pass completed at the end of a game ... give me Aaron any day of the week.

Brady even in his 40s is one of the most accurate passers of all time. He can manage the field. He can control the clock. He is better in the second half. He is tough. And he is beyond clutch.

Aaron is good mid and deep. He is a good clock manager. But his clutch seems to only show up on those deep balls.

I dunno I would still take Brady 90% of the time.

But Aaron would be my #2. I would take him over Brees, Mahomes, and Wilson.

Pat will probably change my mind in 5 years, though.

We won't know what it is overall, except that whoever wins it will likely be the one playoff team coming out of it, and they'll be first round fodder come playoff time, just like last year.

That much is true. The Cowboys have the most talent, but are hamstrung by head coach Mike McCarthy; my rebuilding Eagles will be damn lucky to win six games; the Deadskins don't figure to go far with FitzMagic at the controls; and god only knows what to expect from the Giants. The way I see things, if Dak Prescott stays healthy and McCarthy doesn't screw things up, Dallas will win NFC Least by default.

You're right about Dallas... spot on.

I think the WFT have the defense, FitzMagic is probably doomed because the WFT have no weapons on offense for him to work with. Like, when he has succeeded in spurts, it's because he at least has a talented receiver and/or running game. But they have one WR IN McLaurin who's gonna get double-covered and rendered pretty much invisible. I'm not scared of any of their RBs or Logan Thomas, who's a failed QB converted to TE, elsewhere at their skill positions.

Giants are just mental under Judge's leadership, and Daniel Jones is a blooper reel waiting to happen.

Philly is clearly trying a reboot, but in this division, they'll be able to back into some wins against these other teams to not get a top 5 draft pick.

What Qb do you guys think is under the most pressure to proform and win right out of the gate?

For me it is Mac Jones in New England. It may not be that way up there not sure but at least in the way people around the country are talking.

A hyped QB, the heir to Brady, they cut Cam and named him the week 1 starter. I feel bad for the weight this dude is carrying right now.

Not sure if either of these is 'The Most Under Pressure" but they are under pressure...

Garoppolo in SF, his long term heir apparent is already waiting in the wings and the first time he falters the team may take it as an excuse to make the change, and with his health history, there might not be another team willing to give him a chance if SF moves on form him completely.

Rodgers in GB, after his offseason turmoil, a lot of the fanbase has begun to turn on him and it will be miserable for him if he has a bad start tot the season.

My 2021 season predictions for the Titans.
The Titans win the afc south, and the Titans win 12 games.
The Titans win a Wild Card game at Home.

Derrick Henry leads the NFL in rushing for the 3rd consecutive season because he runs for more than 2,050 yards.

The Titans defense improves including top 15 for getting stops on 3rd down, and they can get get stops when needed.
The Titans don’t need a game winning drive with 4 minutes left or less in more than 5 games they win because of a improved defense that defends when needed.

[babyblob]

Very Flag happy in Cincy. In the first 3 minutes The Refs called 3 false starts and a holding call on the Vikings.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Devonta Smith’s first catch for the Eagles results in a touchdown from Jalen Hurts and a 7-3 lead over Atlanta.

[babyblob]

Vikings killing themselves right now. 4 false starts. 2 of those false starts were followed by a holding. They were 3rd and 24 after the first. and a second time they were 3rd and 24. THe second time they converted because the Bengals D is the Bengals D.

But damn they have to clean up their act if they are going to want to not get big plays taken away with dumbass holding calls.

Of course the Bengal's D not only did they give up the 3rd and 24 for a first down. But Cousins had fallen in the back field at the 20 and that was huge, but there was a Defensive holding call that wiped that out and gave the Vikings the ball 1st and goal at the 5. Of course they get a td.

This would probably not be the best time to mention they're down 17-0 to the Cardinals, of all teams, 5 minutes into the second quarter. LT Taylor Lewan gave up three sacks and a forced fumble to Chandler Jones in the first quarter alone. Janoris "Jackrabbit" Jenkins has given up 2 TD passes against DeAndre Hopkins.

I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. Other than Kliff Kingsbury burning 2 timeouts in the first 8 minutes, this is far better than my expectations of Arizona's defense.

[babyblob]

Chase gets his first NFL Touchdown in a 50 pass play from Burrow. The first couple series Burrow looked scared and did a ton of run plays and quick passes. He has since settled down and the Bengals lead the Vikings 14 to 7 but The Vikings are driving.

Edit - Never mind they just got tagged with another holding call. In the first half they have 10 penalties for 91 yards.
