The process is proof that the NBA is fundamentally broken.

But hey, maybe once all the parents forbid their kids from playing football, the NBA can fill the talent vacuum that encourages teams to tank for years just for a shot at relevance.

WR's aren't tall enough and everyone else is too large. Soccer is the most likely beneficiary.

Who really wants to go on about how much they are a fan of the mediocre Washington team? I only keep up cause I hear about it through a show so I have better context.

Plus their big story for 6 months has been hey look how bad we hosed up getting a functional QB signed up or good players who are fragile as gently caress. Woo

If their situations were reversed, Eagles fans would :)

Seriously the Redskins are in that unique position where there's no real reason for long term optimism, but realistically they could play spoiler to other NFC East teams that think they have a chance. If you aren't going to win anything, it can be very satisfying to keep other East teams out of the playoffs.

Well that's the beauty of this division. Every team has a legit shot to be a playoff contender, even Washington. Pryor looked good last season and Crowder and Doctson and Reed are all solid. Would it really surprise anyone to see them in playoffs? I could, especially if Perine works out.

Yeah no that team is rotting from the inside out. It's pretty toxic there right now.

Also Crowder is nursing a hammy and Doctson pulled his a few hours ago

I thought that was just a narrative driven by the Kirk situation. He is a QB but does that really break the whole team?

A few years ago I said that if the Redskins didn't hire a GM, I would quit and cheer for Baltimore. I even bought a hat. A few weeks later they hired McCloughan, so here I am. After he was fired I was tempted to switch sides, but here I am still wondering what kind of a clusterfuck this season is going to be. The sad thing is that there's a lot to be hopeful for. The offense is promising, defense might finally be healthy, Gruden got an extension so we can avoid the insanity of a coaching carousel for at least a few more years, and we had back to back winning seasons. Unfortunately the off-season has just hosed things up so much that instead of focusing on how good the season might be I'm focusing on how hosed we are long term. Hopefully some actual wins will change that, because the alternative is an incredibly toxic season.

I will fully admit that if Washington fucks Philadelphia and Dallas out of a playoff spot I'll be happy. I can't hate the Giants because MY WIFE is a fan and I like maintaining at least a semblance of happiness in our marriage. Of course if us winning knocks them out then so much the better.

As a fan of football in general this really is the best attitude to have. The NFC East isn't anywhere near the poo poo-show it was in previous years, and no matter what the future holds division games should be really competitive.

See, what you do is find a girl who thinks the theatrics and such of grilling out on Sundays and drinking beer and watching football and going to the games is fun, but doesn't have a team. And then, you mold her into your own creation and BAM. Got a super fine, new, hot Eagles fan :smug:

But, for real. I think Pryor is gonna be good. 1,000 yards easily.

The other benefits far outweigh the inevitable conflict that we get two games a year. Plus I just can't hate Eli Manning. It's like hating a puppy.

Pyror is an athletic freak and also has the brains to be a QB, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he and Cousins form a fantastic bond and they do incredibly well this year. Gruden is once again calling the offense so I feel like there's a smooth transition there, and if the defense is healthy we should be at least competent there. I don't think the playoffs are out of the question, depending on how things go.

I didn't really consider how Dallas has lost a lot of their o-line and their secondary has been drenched in gasoline and lit on fire. They seemed to have made some good CB picks in the draft. But, it's hard to depend on rookies. Then the suspensions.

Dallas defense could be really, really bad.
