Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 11:34:31 AMThe Falcons would have been tougher had they not used their first-round pick on Penix.  It's not like the team can play two QBs at once.

I truly don't understand this pick. It smacks of a panic but I see no reason for them to panic in that spot. May turn out an okay start but right now, to me at least, it looks bizarre.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 11:30:23 AMIf DJ falters, I think Lock gets a shot.  I don't know if I would say the odds are favorable that Lock will prove to be a franchise QB.  That said, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that Lock surprises in a good way.  Lock seemed to come into the league not fully appreciating what it took to be an NFL QB.  Even Lock's father confirmed that.  Lock does seem to appreciate now what it takes.  Combine Lock's natural talent (which is NFL caliber) with a QB whisperer like Daboll, and you never know.

Hard to disagree with any of this, Rich. It's how I see it as well.

Same with hearing about the OLine. It's nauseating at this stage.

6-8 wins top is my utterly pointless prediction. Obviously hoping for more and the post-season.

Not a company stooge but doesn't go heavy on the criticism is an oxymoron.

Anyway, I've not read a poster here that doesn't want Jones to succeed.

So I guess his criticism doesn't apply to this community. 

I said it earlier this week, it's when you play them.

Who knows what injuries teams will have.

Tbf, that's a tremendous token. Love it.

I'm still buzzing.

Love CK20, always have but as you guys have said - that was one for the ages.

That break in his voice as it goes in is outstanding.

What a 3rd period. I thought they were unlucky to be one down after 1.

The Canes came hard and the Rangers rode their luck in the open 3-4 mins of 3rd but after that the Rangers were excellent. I said to my son, they just need the next goal. What a performance from Kreider, Bread was good, Zib was lively. Unreal 3rd.

Hopefully Boston take Florida to 7 as I think the extra time off will be most useful.

Edit - 8 to go!

I've said it before - this is a special group.

I put my son (10) to bed at 6pm. I've been getting him at midnight for puck drop. He loves it, sticks his Bread jersey on and wants a midnight snack with the game. I've enjoyed the playoffs as always but I'm just not relaxed about it.

My Mrs also gets up and watches it with us- she felt like she was missing out after all the noise during the Washington series!

If it's on in the UK, I'll watch it

As ever, it's not who you play it's when you play them.

It's a great opportunity to start against JJ or Darnold and then following up against Daniels.

These kids might be the real deal but they might also need time to bed in.

I also like the idea of finishing against, Indy, Atlanta and then an Eagles team who ought to be in the playoffs already.

Still a lot can happen between now and week 18 but right now, in May, I think it's a decent slate.

I don't know how to post a screen shot but 5/6 experts from The Athletic are picking the Rangers: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5496109/2024/05/16/nhl-playoffs-picks-odds-rangers-hurricanes-oilers-canucks/?source=user_shared_article

I wish I was that confident.

Do we really need games on Christmas Day?

I don't see the problem. It was well reported that the Giants tried to trade up for the QB of the future.

With that being said, does anyone think Jones is the "face of the franchise"?

I don't see the issue here.
