I'll buy: Steelers, Raiders, and Falcons for losing records. But not the Packers. Titans feel very 50/50

I could see the Titans regressing, especially if Henry gets hurt. However, Willis is a wildcard for them that could mean a lot of wins or losses.

Not sure how the Falcons could possibly be projected for a winning record unless their schedule is super easy. The Pack get at least 5 free division wins every year, but maybe their total wins drops from last year. Raiders have a new coach. Steelers make sense because BB retired and they now have a legit QB competition with all three looking decent.

Did they lose Tomlin? Steelers have the longest streak of winning seasons thanks to him!

Remind me to kick your ass next time I see you...

I was thinking about Tomlin's record the other day and I realized who he is as a coach: Data in Peak Performance

He just plays to not lose. It's why he's a good regular season coach, but terrible in the playoffs.

Booger getting called out by all of Twitter for his shitty take on Aaron Donald swinging a helmet like a weapon during a practice with the Bengals.

Washintong's 1st string RB gets shot twice. Stable condition, unknown how long out.

Jimmy G restructures contract to avoid getting cut.
Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday that Garoppolo and the Niners agreed to a restructured one-year contract that is worth $6.5 million in fully guaranteed base salary. The new-look deal contains another total of $500,000 in roster bonuses and playtime bonuses that could boost it by another nearly $9 million for up to a total of $16 million if all bonuses are reached.

Garoppolo's restructured contract also includes a no-trade and no-tag clause that ensures Garoppolo will serve as the backup to Trey Lance this season and will then be able to explore unrestricted free agency in 2023.
I guess he's hoping Lance will stink, he'll get to play + prove he can play?

It's pretty late to go find a new team. I think this was probably a mutual thing. It allows him to heal up some more and start fresh next year when some team realizes their guy sucks. Meanwhile, SF can hold onto him in case a contender loses their starter, including SF, and gets desperate enough to give up too much in a trade.

Loads of rumors that Brady was gone because of marital issues as his wife is not thrilled he unretired.

That's possible, but my money is still on him not wanting to be in camp.

I'm going with the former. She's probably been waiting for him to retire for a while to help out the nannies :)

Also, the plastic surgery.

It does make sense if you really look at things:
-Mitch is signed to a 1 year deal and the intention was to always start him.
-Tomlin is trying to get a third rounder for Rudolph, who has played well in the pre-season. Him being a primary backup makes that price make more sense.
-I had always heard the plan was to sit Pickett until Mitch bombs or for a year so he can learn.

But yeah, we will see.
