1. Baltimore

[DeadlyDynasty]

1. Washington

[Millennial_Messiah]

1. Washington

Huh? I like the Skins to win, but it's not much better than a toss-up. Neither team has an NFL caliber quarterback starting at the moment.

[Millennial_Messiah]

1. Baltimore

As long as Jackson is healthy, this kind of game, particularly at home, should absolutely be the pick, against what will be one of the league's bottom feeders yet again, even though they don't have a first-round pick in 2024.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Millennial Messiah:

Week 1: Baltimore Ravens over Houston Texans.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Home opener and I can’t name more than 5 players on Arizona’s entire roster and I follow the NFL pretty closely

[Robz4000]

I'm with DD and going Washington.

[Darth_Pelican]

Washington

Does AZ have incentive to tank the entire year?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Does AZ have incentive to tank the entire year?
Sure. Tank for Caleb Williams and give Kyler a full season of recovery before getting some sucker team to take him off their hands for a 1st. Murray might be a Raider come 2024 opener

[Millennial_Messiah]

If Dak does ok, Zeke sees a resurgence with New England this year, but the Cowboys fail to make the conference finals yet again, I could see a scenario where Dak Prescott is a Patriot and Bill Belichick finally gets Jerruh's guys over the hump. :lol Cowboys

Bill Belichick winning a SB ring with the likes of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott being the Pats' offense would forever immortalize BB in legend, tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Does AZ have incentive to tank the entire year?

Yeah, the only team that doesn't is Houston, but Houston has such a shitty roster that it won't matter anyway. Maybe they'll get 2 wins off the Colts if they're lucky.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Washington


I'm with DD and going Washington.

I mean ok, but who is the Commanders/Redskins quarterback anyway?

[Ef-man]

Does AZ have incentive to tank the entire year?

How does AZ still have a team? :lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Looks like everyone survived today week 1, unlike the last couple years

[DAF86]

Can I get in picking the Cowboys?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Can I get in picking the Cowboys?

Yeah, everyone who didn't get a pick in yet can either pick tonight's game before kickoff, or else they have to pick a team tomorrow

[Millennial_Messiah]

tomorrow's game is a pure coin flip, so, I wouldn't recommend picking from tomorrow

then again, the Giants are no pushovers, and were a solid playoff team last year and even won a road playoff game.

They’ll probably win 1-2 games this year just out of shear luck, but imo this team is far worse than the 2008 Lions or any other team I’ve ever watched as long as I’ve followed football.

These PFF rankings are astoundingly bad

Offensive line - 31st
Running back - 31st
Receiver / TE - 28th
Quarterback - 29th (and that’s before McCoy was cut so it’s prob 32nd now)
Defensive line - 32nd
linebackers - 23rd (and this was before Isaiah Simmons was traded)
Secondary - 29th (also outdated since PFF factored in Simmons’ ability to play corner)

In my ~20 years following football I can’t recall a roster so devoid of talent all over the field. I don’t even understand how an NFL roster gets to be this shitty.

And yet AZ led 16-10 going into the 4th and only trailed 17-16 with the ball driving to mid field before a tanky looking fumble and unsportsmanlike penalty to boot for the seal.

Doesn't say much for WA.

Oh agreed. If the DC team we saw on the field on Sunday is the team we’re going to get this year, they’ll be one of the worst in the NFL.

Tanking doesn’t account for how many 1st/2nd round picks they’ve whiffed on in the last 5 yrs

The Commodes don't have a QB, what do you expect?

The Rosen pick was awful, but the Murray pick had promise if he didn't turn out to be a complete diva. He was actually a heck of a talent and a better pass thrower than, say, Lamar Jackson. Very strong arm for such a smaller dude. People forget they were undefeated halfway through the season a couple years back. Murray had his day in the sun. Letting the WR corps rot was a big mistake. Murray is the kind of guy who needs big time weapons to succeed. Not necessarily an elite OL because of his scrambling ability and the fact that's he's mostly a west coast offense QB that either gets the ball out quick or is fast enough to escape the pass rush and scramble and find someone deep or intermediate if they get open.

[DAF86]

Week 1: Cowboys

Week 2: Eagles

Not a single lock this week, tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Agree.
Was gonna say 49er but they and the Rams often have "throw out the records" type games.

[Robz4000]

Week 1: Cowboys

Week 2: Eagles

Not a single lock this week, tbh.

Risky trying to pick a TNF game tbh, even if one of the teams employs Kirk "Primetime" Cousins.

Yeah. It was lopsided last year, and Minnesota seems to have regressed, but the Eagles also seem to have regressed.

I'm still considering changing my pick for Bills over Raiders.

Damn, I should have made sure Hurts wasn't a one hit wonder before going all in on the Eagles.

[MultiTroll]

Week 2 Bills

If i flame i flame. :lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Week 2: Posting from Arkansas right now. On road trip

Buc-BUC-BUCCANEERS WON BABY!!! I'm survived and I haven't used up a really good team yet! :D

[MultiTroll]

Bringing Week 2 up to date.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers


Taking the Giants.


Week 2: Denver Broncos


Denver


Week 2: Eagles


Week 2 Bills

[MultiTroll]

Hope Payton pulls Wilsons ass if he F's up again.
That fumble at 21-3 was completely unacceptable, changed complexion of game 180 degrees.

[Robz4000]

Living life on the edge :smokin

[Darth_Pelican]

Bye

[MultiTroll]

Defensive pass interference for sure on final play Denver vs WA but....NFL ain't about calling it fairly.
Unreal how Donkey even got a chance due to that final play of reg TD.

[DAF86]

How do you pick the Broncos in week 2? Have you not watched the last 19 games from them? :lol

It's not like the Commanders are complete trash either.

[MultiTroll]

21-3 with the ball on the WA 40 yard line and only 8 minutes til half.
One of the few things that can really phuck up momentum there is a stupid fumble or a pick 6 or the like turnover.
Veteran multi millionaire Russel Wilson fumbles.

So, while you are being heard about their last 19 games, that took a colossal phuck up to blow that lead. Wilsons fumble was the YUGE start of it.
The last 4 minutes of the game was unreal bozo clock management by Payton and Denver.
Altho they got the miracle TD to have a chance.

Well, Wilson and the Broncos suck ass, they are more than prone to these colossal fuck ups, that's why you stay away from them in a survivor pick.

[MultiTroll]

Rule clarification.
Previously it was ruled as long as one votes before the weeks final game on Monday Night all would be good.

No longer. Reason? The standings are affected by same division and same conference W-L records.
So just to keep it real clean, moving forward all votes must be cast before the Thursday Night game.

[MultiTroll]

Well, Wilson and the Broncos suck ass, they are more than pronce to these colossal fuck ups, that's why you stay away from them in a survivor pick.
True, but a lot of that was attributed to last years Donkey rookie coach including horrific play calling. Also Wilson prima donna arrangements such as his own huge office at Donkey Stadium and his own personal QB coach. Payton said F all that.
Reasoning was that Payton would right the ship.
Indeed Payton went over all tape of previous good plays by Wilson in Seattle and said he would tailor the O to bring back Seattle Wilson and throw in some Drew Brees type plays. Game 1 vs Raiders, while indeed the Broncos lost again they and Wilson looked tons better in defeat. The trend seemed upward.

Cardinals tanking like their lives depended on it.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dallas Cowboys over AZ Cardinals on the road is my Survivor Pick for Week 3, 2023.

Week 1: Baltimore Ravens
Week 2: Tampa Bay Buc-Buc-Buccaneers
Week 3: Dallas Cowboys

[Millennial_Messiah]

Would you characterize yesterdays escape as Giants Comeback or AZ followed orders to Tank?

AZ sucks but they've been hanging in there. I do think the Giants are a solid playoff contender again this year. Week 1 they ran into a buzzsaw of an opponent but that doesn't make them not good.
