speaking of the Jags - I wonder how Leonard Fournette looks this year.
I always want my RBs to average at least 4.0 yards per carry.
I thought he was going to be dominant after LSU - so far he's averaged a paltry 3.9 and 3.3 ypc his first 2 years

i'd love to see Stafford carry them on his back and they make a deep run in the playoffs
when was the last time they went deep into the playoffs?
have they ever been in the NFC Conference Championship Game?
Have they ever won the NFC North - when was the last time they won the division when it was called the 'Central' in the late 80s/early 90s?
miss the atmosphere of the Silverdome on Thanksgiving watching Barry Sanders but Ford Field looks like quite a site too

Matthew Stafford sucks. Matt Patricia sucks even more. This comment sums up the only team that can out-Cleveland Cleveland:
“They’re basically the Jeff Fisher of organizations at this point.”
If they sucked when they had Barry Sanders and Megatron then you’re in for some disappointment if you’re expecting a deep playoff run.

I've never understood this angle. The Patriots don't have fun? Winning isn't fun? I watch the team every week. I see the footage from practice, I see the post-game interviews and the banter among teammates. I see guys having fun and taking their job seriously. If your definition of fun is tweeting at 2AM on game day, showing up to camp in a Brink's truck or skipping meetings than yeah I guess they're no fun.
Incompetent programs must be a blast to play for; no rules, no expectations, no consequences. All I know is the Patriots seem to have a lot of fun winning, year after year.

He’s been in the league 10 years now and has won exactly zero games of any importance. Sure, but he plays for the Lions. How are you defining “games of importance”? Playoff games? Stafford has at least taken the Lions (the LIONS) to the postseason multiple times, including just two years after the organization went 0-16. Are you talking about his record vs winning teams? I find it hard to blame individual players for lack of wins. That comes down more to the state of the organization over his tenure. The Lions have had pretty terrible personnel for most of Stafford’s career. He had a conservative coach who opted to turtle with the lead for a large portion of his career, even when they had no running game to rely on (which was a large portion of the time). Lacklustre defense for most of his career. Now he plays for Matt Patricia. Wins/losses just don’t tell the whole story. Stafford is pretty underrated, for me.

bills - look out for undrafted free agent WR David Sills - he led the Big 12 in TD catches last year

My favorite Bills fan comment:
“Josh’s arm is slightly less accurate than a North Korean ballistic missile. He’ll be our poor man’s RGIII, always on the sideline in crutches or a walking boot, full of unfulfilled potential. It’s like the school valedictorian that gets paralyzed by a drunk driver the summer before starting medical school, except the Bills are the drunk driver.”

Does he know that Nate Peter-Man is not Buffalo's problem anymore?

I do not get how Elway has such trouble picking a decent QB. Manning doesn’t count because it doesn’t take a genius to try and sign him.
