[Other Sport] The Official NFL 2018 Thread

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

The 2020 class could end up being like all-time loaded. The year before last is an interesting one isn't it? At the time it was thought of as being pretty QB light but the three taken in the first round all look like they should have good careers.

Perhaps that'll happen this time but it seems unlikely.

2020 looks loaded. I’m fearful that the Jags front office are going to try and roll with Bortles for one more season for a few reasons, as I’ve mentioned above we’re hamstrung by cap space so a vet is a no go, no HC other than Marrone is willing to hitch their cart to the Bortles experience hence he’s still the HC, the QB draft class isn’t inspiring so they look for another lost season to get the QB in 2020. It’s a huge risk IMO as Ngakoue, Ramsey, Jack etc will revolt, Campbell and Dareus aren’t getting any younger! Despite a poor season the defence can still play at a high level but the window is closing.
It’s a real head scratcher.

The decision to retain Bortles is looking more and more horrific, there’s literally no wiggle room for cap space so we can’t go after a vet QB.

It was a dumb decision (and I'm a Skins fan and know a dumb decision when I see one!). A real shame as the rest of the roster had been really well put together.

Another laughable decision was releasing both Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, both featured in the post season, and favoured the perennially injured Marquis Lee and the CBA’d Donte Moncrief. Poor.

I had actually forgotten that too. Your front office is nearly as bad as ours!

Jets appoint Adam Gase as their head coach. Formerly with the dolphins, Gase will be the first appointment with previous head coach experience since 1997. He'll have his work cut out with the Jets who have had only one winning season since 2011. Jets also looking to hire former Broncos head coach Vance Joseph as defense coordinator.

Enjoying this so far...

 

[Pantani]

Disgusting call. The officials are having an appalling post season thus far.

 

[Pantani]

Got there in the end at least.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Drew Brees. Guaranteed entertainment.

 

[Pantani]

Foles has turned back into the QB he normally is

 

[Da Man Clay]

Shame it ended that way. Was looking forward to the inevitable game winning drive from Brees with about a minute on the clock!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Ah well. No one apart from philli fans expected us to even make it out of the initial games so to come though to be within two games of a Super Bowl return was a fantastic effort.

Now for a season of misery with the Phillies!

 

[Hotchilidog]

A sigh of relief as the Cowboys and Eagles finally exit the fray. I can now at least watch this year's Super Bowl. I think we shall be guaranteed another crackerjack contest.

My own team's dismal slide into despair aside, this has been a really entertaining season and we are left with the four best teams to fight out for a place in the Championship game. Roll on next Sunday and let the fireworks begin!

...as long as the Patriots dont get there again!

Even if the Pats do make it I can root against them. last year I couldn't cheer for either side.

Chiefs/Patriots promises to be an absolute belter of a game. Cannot wait to watch it. Go Chiefs!

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Although my Colts stunk the place out its still a great last 4 teams left. Exciting

Colts have something decent to build on for next year though. Plenty to look forward to for you I think.

I can't quite relax, it will take the Pats losing to the Chiefs for that

 

[SUIYHP]

Want: Chiefs v Rams
Expecting: Pats v Rams

This Chiefs season has been utterly superb and was glad to see us win comfortably against the colts, but I can’t help but feel the colts were off their game and Chiefs defence stepped up. Think we have the ability to beat the Pats, I still reckon they might scrape it but I think we will give them a tough game, especially as its at the arrowhead.

Am a little disappointed the eagles didn’t make it though. Chiefs vs Eagles would’ve been special: the old timer veteran Andy Reid versus his former student the up and coming Doug Pederson. Maybe a game for another day though...

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm hoping for Patriots vs Saints Superbowl. Brady vs Brees will be some spectacle.
