Several of the teams play each other or play other highly questionable teams. If you weren't being silly, you would also admit that the last 40 years of NFL history, in and of itself, makes it unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally all it takes for the nightmare scenario is 2 going 1-15 and the jets beating Jarrett Stidham 6-3 one Sunday afternoon keep up the bloviating pseudo historian nonsense tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the odds that there are suddenly three in the same season? Again, a big reason for this (as is the case this year) is that a lot of these bad teams play each other in a given season. It's really not a hard concept.

So again, one of them is out. The Vikings also play the Lions two more times. (If you notice, one reason that multiple teams never go 1-15 in the same season is because, in a 32 team league, these teams tend to play each other) The Falcons still play the Panthers and Broncos at home and have been competitive with everyone and blown games in unbelievable ways. Did the falcons score on purpose last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcons are either next level geniuses at tanking (although they randomly decided to blow out Minnesota in Minnesota . . . hmmm) or they are just inept. My money is usually on inept.

Icer Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The Falcons are the least threatening team to the tank. They can win on any Sunday as given the old proverb. They can just click on a random day and beat anybody 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats will beat us if their defense embarrasses Darnold again and probably won't if it doesn't. Yes, Darnold will see the ghosts again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not enough to win if they're trying. And I keep fearing Belicheck throwing the two games against us, while our idiot coach tries hard.. firmly putting us out of control of our own draft destiny.

Francis Sawyer 37 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Newton has 7 INTs already. The Jets DBs need to drop all INTs if they dont want a Pick 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
