2020 Paper Tigers

[Across The Field]

2000's 49ers energy minus the shoulder separation of the #1 overall pick QB.

The season hasn't started just yet. Let's not count anything out.

49ers
Packers
Texans

I expect to regress

Let's do a quick review.

Comment # 1- OP said he thinks the Titans exposed Jackson & the Ravens. No mention of Peyton.

Comment # 2 (that's your comment)- I guess Peyton was "exposed".

And OP didn't mention anything about Manning until comment # 10 when he responded to you.

I just think it's funny how many Pats fans never pass up an opportunity to take a shot a Peyton. He has nothing to do with this thread. Yet you went outta your way to bring him up.

I didn't take a shot and was actually complimenting him in going to 4 SB's . You not being a Pats fan would not understand that Peyton vs Brady was the best QB rivalry we have ever seen in NFL, just like Magic vs Brady was the best ever in the NBA. When Magic was playing against the Celtics, you bet your ass I didn't like him, and would take shots if there was Sports forums back then, Not meaning I didn't respect him or his game but it was a rivalry , just like Peyton. Many times I have said he was one of the best ever, so you need to get a grip and oh yeah " Fuck Ohhhhiiiioooo State"

 

[sonnyblack65]

FWIW, I still like the Browns. Baker plays 75% of the way he did his rookie year and that's a playoff team, imo.

I agree, they are good on bothe sides of the ball, only thing was missing was a real HC. Not the Hues, or Larry the cable guy from last year. Hopefully Stepanksi (sp?) isn't a dud, these loyal fans deserve better

A lot of this comes down to which QBs are not really as good as people think.

Tannehill?
Lock?
Mayfield?
Cousins?

Magic vs. Brady?


So you said Peyton got "exposed" going one & done 9 times in the playoffs & that's supposed to be a complimenting him? Now that's funny.

That's like saying Tom Brady's an asshole but he's a nice guy.


"fuck ohhhhiiiiooooo state"

Too funny. Why have you never said that to me before?

Excuse me? Just because Brady is the GOAT in Boston doesn't mean he's also a Celtics GOAT.

Hopefully the Browns new HC does better. I wouldn't bet money on it though. My team's jinxed.

Not one of those teams should be considered a tiger going into the season.

The Titans were good, but still only entered the postseason as a wild card. I think Tannehill is underrated, but the Titans are hardly anyone's favorites right now.

Denver hasn't had a winning season since Manning retired. I like 'em, but a) I'm a Denver fan, so I'm clearly biased and b) the offense is still very young and very unproven, especially Lock. I can't call a team a tiger if they are as big a question mark as Denver is right now.

I'm not buying anything Cleveland until Baker can prove any kind of consistency. He's okay. Okay QBs do not give teams high expectations.

Any team that has Kirk Cousins should always be considered an also-ran. Cousins can't beat good teams. The Vikings aren't a paper tiger. They're a wet paper bag until they get a real QB.

I only considered teams that are already contenders before I began to think of them as paper tigers.

Doh had Bird on mind but typed Brady. Wanted to just show you the rivalry dislike. Brady hasn't played at Michigan in what 22 years, and you take a shot whenever you can because of the OSU/MU rivalry and many times you have finished with Fuck Meeeechigan, just had to refresh your memory

 

[sonnyblack65]

Glad you both are mature enough not to point out a typo

I know what you meant, but it made me laugh. Just having a little fun, sonny.

Your division is super tough this year with Ben coming back, Balt's improvement, and Cinci with a new QB. I think the only other real tough division is NFCW

 

[mcnabb7542]

I would concur on the Ravens, I also believe the blueprint was given on how to beat Lamar.

The Packers, I think that was whole mirage last season. I don't think they really have the goods to compete, well now they can since they have pissed off AR. Dude can drag a couple fans out of the stands and make them look like all pro receivers.

Yeah Magic wouldn't have been a good match up with Brady, now Jordan would have and in golf too.

See you're taking my dislike of all players from meeeechegan way too personally. I talked shit about Charles Woodson before he retired. So where's your issue with that?

When my team drafted Donovan Peoples-Jones outta UofM I said I hope he gets arrested trying to pick up a transvestite hooker on Lake Shore Blvd. When they drafted Jabrill Peppers I said I hope the team trades him after his rookie year for a long snapper.

I said when Braylon Edwards played in Cleveland he couldn't catch a cold because he dropped too many passes. You should have an issue with but I'm sure you don't.

Stop pretending that my dislike of all things meeeechegan is only about Yer Boy Brady.

fuck meeeechegan!

 

[GNG]

Packers and Texans are the obvious crash and burn turns relative to their results and acclaim in 2019.

Texans just flat out stink- Watson can't save the sinking ship forever.

Both these teams will exceed expectations.

I never said it was just about Brady, just explaining the rivalry stuff and why the fuck would I care what you said about Woodson or any other player, and did I once come in knighting to defend Tom with you? Answer is no and stopped acting like a female Wamu, you're better than that, I'll chalk it up to home confinement.

Again I said good shit about Peyton,once he retired, not when he was playing

 

[Wamu]

Not sure what to expect this year with a new coach. Hopefully a lot more discipline to start. The Ravens are a damn good team. The Steelers are the Steelers, think they'll have a bounce-back year. And the Bungles. Too bad they drafted Borrow. Makes it tough for me to root for him. Unlike many Browns fans the Steelers aren't the # 1 a-holes in the division. It's cincy for me. The whole intrastate rivalry thing.

I really can't make any type of prediction for the upcoming season. Even with all the talent I have no idea what to expect out of them.

Yeah okay. Whatever you say.
