Week One Discussion (Other Teams)

Damn Bengals are up 7-0

[jdynamite]

It's amazing Mariota has literally stared down his first option on every play and yet the Bucs aren't stopping it. Snap first read and throw !

[jdynamite]

Ebron with a td. Hope he has a good year. I really liked him at UNC. He killed my hurricanes.

[JO_75]

Thankfully we played the Titans last year when they didn't have a QB. Mariota makes them look like a completely different team from last year. 

[Grendelwulf21]

This Raiders game is sooo exciting guys.. omg... wooo...

[JO_75]

Mariota with his best Flacco impersonation against the Buccaneers. 4 TDs in the first half against Tampa. One shy of Joe's 5 TDs in the first half last year.

[cobrajet]

Bengals are killing the Raiders

[cobrajet]

The Titans are definitely better with Marriota

[JO_75]

Cardinals with an interception in a close game with the Saints. 

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Stay classy, Cincinnati:

I hope Za'darius Smith can step up

[Cville-Raven]

I got Dallas winning this but would welcome a Giants win. 

[codizzle]

Be cool to have that dez Bryant guy

[redlobster]

Omg Odell Beckham got destroyed

[JO_75]

LOL at the poll on NFL.com. It says which surprised you more on Sunday?

 

- Bills Dominate Colts

- Brian Hoyer benched

- Rams defeat Seahawks in OT

- Mariota outplays Winston

- Lions Collapse against Chargers

 

Bills Dominate Colts is leading the way with 48%. Next closest is Rams defeat Seahawks at 31%. That tells me everything I need to know about majority of people who go to NFL.com.

Pacman Jones should be banned from the league

[Cville-Raven]

lol Cowboys

[JO_75]

lol Cowboys

 

Not too much interest in tonight's game lol. Guess everyone else is tired of NFC East games on SNF as well.

[Inqui]

I really wish OBJ were a Raven. But I suspect if he'd fallen to us we'd have taken someone else and left me feeling even worse about not getting him.

I know, but Mosely is a pretty nice consolation prize. 

[ratedr]

Giants played NO defense on that last drive. Geez.

[JO_75]

Well what a way to end the first Sunday in the NFL. Cowboys hold the Giants to a FG, get the ball back with 1:34 remaining. Kill enough clock to score the game winning TD with 7 seconds left to essentially win the game.

[ratedr]

If the Giants knew how to manage the clock the Cowboys would've never had a shot to score.

[Inqui]

Giants played NO defense on that last drive. Geez.

Pretty silly for Eli to throw the ball away rather than sliding too.

It seems half the SNF games are between NFC East teams

[berad]

Congrats to Tyrod, he showed up big. Keep it going, youngster.

[Cville-Raven]

Yeah its annoying.

No, that's conditional picks. Only salary escalators based on playing time could change his comp pick status, which would still be late round 7 at best.

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but it's not like anything I've read. Here's my source:

https://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/2012-compensatory-draft-picks2.pdf

This states that compensatory picks are based off a formula of salary, starting time and postseason honors.

An article from OvertheCap.com. I can't find it now but the writer devoted a paragraph as to why Tyrod probably won't net anything despite being the starter.

Hmm, interesting. I'll be honest I think he still will but we'll see. I normally don't brag but I've been pretty accurate on predicting who will and won't get us compensatory picks. I do think Taylor could get us one. The real question for me is whether he stays healthy and plays every game. That's an area I just don't know.

I will predict that if Taylor starts every game and somehow takes his team to the playoffs that we'll get at least a 6th for him. I think the highest he could be is a 5th but I'm typically conservative when I'm not entirely confident. I think his compensation is somewhere between 5th - 7th.
