NFL 2019 Season
It finally kicks off Sunday night and the product is as strong as ever.
Can anyone stop the Patriots or is this the year they go 19-0? What becomes of Antonio Brown? Can Patrick Mahomes pick up where he left off last year? Who are your surprise teams? |

Man... Patriots are so smooth.

Re: NFL 2019 Season
Be interesting to see if this goes more Randy Moss or more Josh Gordon.
I've got Brown in fantasy and it's been a bit of a roller coaster and I still don't know if I'm happy or not. |

Re: NFL 2019 Season
Yeah, that's usually the case. Though he's big on the short/crossing routes, unlike most other guys who can serve as deep threats, so I can see a Welkery type year. Who knows. There's not a lot of precedent for this stuff.

So is Lamar Jackson that good or are the Dolphins that bad?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2019 - The Regular Season
Pats looking pretty decent for week one. Still some things to iron out, but they look fairly locked in so far...
|
Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2019 - The Regular Season
Steelers are just blowing every short yardage conversion attempt. Bad.
|
Tough break for the Jags with Nick Foles going down for an extended amount of time. You hate to see anybody get hurt. Except Tyreke Hill.
The Ravens that good or are the Fins that bad? I think the best thing for the Pats about getting AB is keeping him from the Chiefs, Hawks, Boys, Pack, etc. He could have put some teams over the top. |
Re: NFL 2019 Season
The Patriots won't go 19-0 but if be damned if their first games aren't the easiest of anybody's.

Re: NFL 2019 Season
Yeah, SOS had them literally with the easiest of any team, IIRC, statistically speaking. Pretty weird. You'd assume the algorithm for schedule generation would be a little more advanced these days, but :shrug:.

Re: NFL 2019 Season
I never bought into that Browns hype. I say 7-9.

Teddy Bridgewater is 5-0 since taking over as the Saints starting QB. I guess that's evidence that Drew Brees isn't as good as he's made out to be?
:D |
Re: NFL 2019 Season
"5-0" isn't the relevant stat if we're talking about Bridgewater, particularly since two of those wins came with 12 and 13 points, respectively. He may not have messed those games up, but he didn't win those for them, either.
Anyway, looking at his actual stats suggests he has played quite well, but it's only been over a few games, so I'm inclined to think he's playing a little over his head. Note how many close games they've been winning: that's not sustainable. If he reverts to his mean even a bit, those close wins are going to turn into close losses. But as a general response, sure, Bridgewater's success is a potentially meaningful data point that any reasonable person would have to use to reconsider and reevaluate some of the things they thought about that situation. Even though I expect, with more time, they'll be a lot less to explain. If he does, then I will definitely conclude that the Saints as a whole--at least the Saints of the last couple years--are a bigger part of Brees' longevity than previously believed. |
Re: NFL 2019 Season
I'm still undecided on Brissett for the Colts for similar reasons. He isn't really winning games for them, but he's holding his own. They could have a legitimate shot at winning that division after all the despair of Andrew Luck retiring and leaving the Colts as +400 or something favorites to win the AFC South going into the year.
