OT: New Owner! New Name? New Season? New Everything!!! — Oh, and New Thread. All things Washington NFL FootBall (beat it, Dan-Bag!!)

[Bananas]

Up to #2! Let's go!

Are we?!?!?

 

[Ridley Simon]

I think we are #2 now. AND Dallas needs to win next week, as they can still win the division.

It couldn’t have been a better set of results!

 

[RedRocking]

Are we?!?!?

Yup.

 

[usiel]

I'm seeing NE at #2 on the tankathon website.

 

[Bananas]

Yup.

That SoS tiebreaker with NE is super tight. What do we need for that?

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Cardinals, you beauties.

 

[Ridley Simon]

I'm seeing NE at #2 on the tankathon website.

But why? Chicago win, so their record is better….but Atlanta lost, so that’s a wash.

Skins should be #2, IMO.

Edit — they are #2, but are basically tied w the Patriots at .515 opponents winning %.

Pats host the Jets next week…..so they *could* win. Let’s go Pats!!!

 

[ynotcaps]

You know the ONLY thing that could beat watching the Cards beat the Eagles? Being in a bar where 80% of the inhabitants were Eagles fans!
(My wife was trying to shush me as the Crads scored the winning touchdown (and for 5 minutes after) -- it didn't work....)

 

[Ridley Simon]

I think we want Denver to lose this afternoon

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

SOS has to be the worst tie breaker to figure out. If every one takes a L next week are we 2nd pick?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Thank you Cards! You still get your guy at 3!

Exactly. What’s the story????

 

[tycoonheart]

Man. Baltimore is looking really good right now. They crushed Miami.

 

[kicksavedave]

Exactly. What’s the story????

We're playing Dallas next week, that will make our SOS increase, but I'm not sure how much. All the games wrapping up this week will change the SOS for each team so we just have to wait until the season ends to figure out who picks 2nd.

 

[kicksavedave]

Also, if they pick 2nd and pass on Drake Maye, everyone in the room should be fired on the spot.

It’s changed again.

DC: .515
NE: .518

Oy!!

PS — Dallas winning against us also impact NE, as they played them. Same with their Jets results (if they lose). We’ve played mostly the same schedule, save a few teams, and the weight of division leaders.

I think if both lose, it will be hard for the Skins to get passed (something will need to go right for NE, outside of similar teams). But it could happen for sure.

NE just needs to win, and we need to start Jake Frommmmm.

If we pick 2nd, it's whichever of the top 2 QBs or prison riot.

It’s wild though. There are definitely some smart people that like one of Daniels, McCarthy, Penix, Nix, Jarvis as much if not more than Williams/Maye.

Which they could also leverage, if THEY are one of the smart people that like one of the other 5 better.

I dunno what I think yet. However, it would be a catbird seat, to be in.

 

[bacchist]

If we had #1 over all, we should get OL

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

DraftKings has draft odds up Williams. Is -650 to go 1
Do the bears dump Justin Fields who looks pretty good .

Who do they trade with

 

[Ridley Simon]

If we had #1 over all, we should get OL

Yeah but No.

Trade out if that’s how things shake out. Taking an OL in a QB heavy draft?

Not……smart or efficient

 

[ChaosLord]

Still scratching my head at this Ravens juggernaut. Wasn't all that impressed with them last year, they weren't even the best team in their division with the Bengals playing so well. And yet this year they're an unstoppable force of nature.

The result of two killer drafts in a row? Only reason I can come up with.

Where are the smart people that like those guys more than Maye or Williams? If they have Drake Maye on the board at #2 and they select any of those QBs ahead of him it'll be a decades long regret and continue the Snyder curse.

Won’t do your homework for you. I welcome you to Google mock drafts.

The other thing that worries me, is that’s it’s not routine to get both consensus top 2 QB’s to do well.

Lots of past drafts are littered with errors when QB’s go 1 & 2. So thats a thing to think about.

New Lamar contract, healthy, and new OC.
