Yeah, but they have Mike Wallace now......oh wait you're right they have no one to throw to him further than 30 yards.

I like the Dolphins chances. Tannehill has upside and Matt Moore is a pretty decent backup...except in practice. I think they go 4-2 in their division including taking a game against the Pats.

Set myself up for that one.

But you just admitted that you think Daniel Tosh is cool.

I worked with a lady from Buffalo. Apparently, the 2 most common bumper stickers are "NO GOAL" and "WIDE RIGHT"

Has little to do with anything else here. But the girl who told me that was cute, so it counts for something.

No Goal was definitely a popular bumper sticker but I have never seen a Wide Right one

Your schedule is not kind my friend. Take it for what it's worth but these are the games I see them losing.
@Browns
@Colts
VS Atlanta
@Saints
VS Ravens
@Pats
VS Bengals
Of course @Steelers.

Man that opening stretch for you guys is rough. I'd have taken you over the Browns if you were at home. I think they are much improved. I picked the Steelers well because I'm a Steelers fan.

Who will have more wins: Bills or Iggles?
I have the Eagles struggling to go 5-11.

That's a crap shoot. Literally.

Losing Maclin is a big blow.

Can't be mad at you for believing in your team. I think they made some upgrades for sure. I think they paid Wallace a little much but he is a game changer so it's not like they aren't getting anything for their money. Nice part of Wallace is he can break for a long one at any point in a game. His speed is insane

Well you only posted the hard part of the schedule. They will win at least 7 of their final 11, so the way i see it is they need to find 3 wins in those first 5 games to make me look like even more of a genius than i already do.

edit-

Last 11 games:

Bills x2
Jets x 2
Pats x 2
@ Steelers, Bucs
vs. Chargers, Panthers and Bengals

If you have a quarterback that can hit Wallace in stride, he's a game changer. If you force him to adjust or run in traffic, he'll disappoint. Pure speed but doesn't win battles. I thought they significantly over paid but I understand why they did it. He also developed a case of the drops the last couple of years. I wasn't all that broken up with him leaving because Ben isn't a great deep ball passer. Unfortunately, the Steelers didn't really replace him with anything credible so it will be a net loss for us.

Probably going to be a rough year for the Steelers unless a couple of rookies really step up.

I tend to agree they may be in for a tough year, but Antonio Brown will be a household name by the end of the season.

Well if Heath gets back they should be fine in the passing game. A lot of possesion receivers which isn't bad for the type of offense we want to run now. I really like Bell I think he upgrades our run game significantly and our O line should be one of our strengths. I also like Jarvus Jones I think he will do fine. I think it's an 8-8/9-7 season for us.

AB is a good combination of doing a lot of things well but nothing great. He needs to have a big season but I think this offense sets up well for him.

X-factor will be Wheaton. If he can step into the slot position and be the deep threat that the Steelers don't have, our passing game will be pretty good, especially when Miller is back.
