NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[HNL HI]

Is it draft day yet?

 

[jayfiend]

Playoffs just don't feel right without my Ravens in it. Oh well didn't deserve to make playoffs this year. Rooting for both away teams today Chargers and 9'ers

Yea I feel the same way. The playoffs just don't feel the same without the skins there. We will be back strong tho.

I'm rooting for Peyton. I just really want him I shut every body up. And get the 2nd ring.

Boom rocking that Chargers color tie today I see...

Not trying to be funny but how often has your team made the playoffs in the last 8 years? Ravens have been in almost every year, last year was probably the first time in a long time for the Skins. So this years playoffs should feel right.

No hate on the Skins but they only tasted what the playoffs were like last season ... Ravens were in there consecutively for half a decade

I got Packers winning today.

Come at me brahs.

 

[dmxfury]

I miss waiting for the potential Balt v Pitt playoff matchup. I fear it may be a bit before having that again

I think it'll be sooner than you think. Don't think this Bengals team is built for the long run, heck if they lose today a lot can change for them next season. When you look at the standings the Ravens and Steelers were only a win away from the playoffs, both have decent draft position and good GM's that know what moves to make in the offseason.

The Bengals roster is top to bottom one of the best in football.  

Outside of the QB position.

3 times. '05, '07, and '12.

 

[dmxfury]

But they haven't had to pay anyone yet. That will be the tough spot for them starting next year, decisions will actually have to be made. Not saying they won't move forward and continue to be successful

People can say a lot of things about MB, but he's always handled the cap well. The depth built is what's most encouraging. We'll lose Michael Johnson, but Margus Hunt will step in at 6'8 280 next year.

True.

Just watched the Chiefs-Colts highlights, followed the game by box score yesterday but I was stuck in the car.  Honestly just feel terrible for Chiefs fans...  Every mistake or missed play they made came back to bite them, Colts played sloppy as hell and still broke them.

That curse could be real.

So before last year's lucky run, the playoffs didn't know who the Skins were for the last few years.

Bengals have 24 players signed until 2013 and another 14 through 2014, includes Dalton, AJ, Johnson, list goes on. Bengals may be able to manage it who knows, but y'all have a lot of decisions to make.

 

[dmxfury]

Seeing what Dalton gets will be most interesting. If he wins a playoff game or two he could pull a Flacco and get paid big time, maybe too big. AJ can ask for and should get whatever he wants

Ding ding.

This current Cincy team has a two year window to see what they can do (this year and next). AJ Green is going to get P.A.I.D.. then they still have to pay Dalton, and their defensive guys like Burfict, Michael Johnson, etc. They can reload if they know what they're doing, but that's what separates the good franchises from the great ones.

If I'm the Bengals I draft a QB this year.
