Chicago Bears

You overestimate the trash bag of damp hair that is the Carolina Panthers. They would be lucky to contend in a high school playoff in their current state. Anything can happen, but I think the Bears have #1 overall locked up.

They will have no trouble intellectually, emotionally, or physically tanking. They're playing for the pick.

If the Patriots draft #1, they are taking a QB. And leaving us MHJ.
I don't think they would trade back. That would put them at risk of missing out on Williams and Maye.

Saw some of this game they’re definitely tanking. There’s no way Zappe is better than Mac Jones.

I've been telling you all for months that the Patriots are the worst team.

The Panthers are not getting the first overall pick.

Hope they get the 1st pick tbh

It’s out of your control, just enjoy the games.

It the Buccs lose that’s a step closer to a wildcard spot

How can they be so abysmally bad

Low key, I want us to have the third pick and not the first. It’s the only chance we have to even potentially get Marvin Harrison Jr. I fully expect Poles to either draft a QB and trade down, or trade down twice. But if we have the 3rd then maybe, just maybe, the two QBs will be gone and nobody will offer us low picks in a trade.

It’s ridiculous that a player as good as MHJ is going to be available, we have two high picks, and it still feels like we have no chance to get him because of this obscene, non-existent rule that “if you have a top two pick, you have to either take a quarterback or you trade down”. I’m so done with this quantity over quality mindset. MHJ is the best player in the draft, and we should be taking him with the #1 if that’s the pick we have.

Our good friend Mitch could have a statue right next to Lovie in Arlington if he drops one to them Thursday night.

Carolina’s dipshit owner means I’m not that worried.

As long as Bryce Young is starting in Carolina, you have nothing to worry about.

It's a valid concern, but even if the patriots lose out, Carolina has to win 2 to pass them

At least the Cards are winning.

That’s fine because they’ll definitely be taking drake maye

Pats winning and cardinals win is good good for us. Pats are 100% taking a qb. Cardinals are the only ones we don’t know what they’re gonna do

Pinning your hopes and happiness on the outcome of events you have absolutely no control over is only setting you up for disappointment.

Then you take MHJ and be happy.

Arizona is beating the stealers

The Patriots have scored 13 total points in the last 3 weeks vs. the Colts, Giants and Chargers. None of those teams have even an average defense, and all are ranked below 20th in Points Allowed per Game.

New England has no offense whatsoever right now.

If any team deserves to suck this bad, the Pats are definitely one of them.

Yeah no shit. People been calling me an idiot for weeks saying not to worry surely BB will pick up a few games.

Anyone who has said this in the past month has simply not watched the patriots.

I’ve been saying it for over a month now. That may legitimately be the worst offense I’ve seen in 10+ years. They’re completely incapable of playing offense

Panthers would still have to win 2

Yeah that's amazing, I couldn't believe that they couldn't put any points up against what is arguably the worst pass defense in the league. I think that just goes to show how crappy the Pats offense is. They really need McDaniels to come back as OC, like now.

Bill has too much pride to not win at least 1 more. He’ll get it out of his players, they’ll probably win a game with their defense.

As long as they don’t take MHJ they can have the #1 pick

Bill Belichick would also have to lose to the Jets to lose out. They may be trying to tank, but I don’t think Bill could stand to lose against the Jets. The Pats will win some more games.

Good news is - if we lose the first overall, we don't have to hear about Caleb Williams vs Fields anymore.

I don't know if we need to worry too much. Belicheck may be an all time great coach, but he may be the worst GM in the NFL. He's just as likely to draft a guard or some crap instead of Caleb.

New England. Iowa

                        🤝


           Barely scoring

If it wasn't obvious when they shanked a game tying 35 yard kick last week, the Pats are tanking. They are choosing to lose games. They are playing for the top pick.

Meh. They can have Caleb.

Belickick is a cheater, so you know it’s not above him to do whatever it takes to tank. They wont be winning any mote games this season.

The SOS for pats panthers is also scary because it’s so close

They could lose out but they could also beat the Steelers and Jets too.

2nd pick worked out great last year

I’m in the other boat with 50% of the sub. Let them do worse and take Caleb Williams…please.
