nervous picking
ultimately between the two of us six teams out of 32 that
have no chance. Not just may not or possibly more putting no
chance. We're calling our shot. Now, we start getting into
a little of the dicey area where it could be old takes exposed
to one of these teams have a chance and I'm really torn
between Carolina and Cincinnati and I think they both got
a real small outside chance. But I'm gonna go with Carolinas.
In my mind between the Panthers and the Bengals, it's
a no-brainer because the Bengals are caught in the division with
the Steelers, the Browns and the Ravens,
the Bengals are going to be in fourth place. The only way
they're going to the playoffs is if all four teams from
the AFC North qualified.
So hot
You know, I really need to see that this morning but that's
how we felt a year ago that's part of the fun of everybody
being zero and zero
and you play the season. Look there were questions about
uroboros knee Jamar. Chase couldn't catch last preseason.
I mean, those were all real dynamics and the Bengals
immediately changed minds. And I jumped on,
we don't need to see that, please.
We just, I jumped on a stream, went three for three. I was at
least one a light lab 243,
that's not bad. Then it gets into the Hall of Fame in
baseball.
Let's try. Get this year Shireen teams that have
know. Why are we doing this again? Did we not learn last
year teams that have no chance, unless they do to get to
the playoffs? Who do you have round 1?
Oh boy, here we go. Old takes exposed for next year.
I'm going to leave you the Texans Mike based on your power
ranking. So I'm going to go with the Bears. I think they
end up with the number one overall pick in 2023.
I hate the roster and I
I think they hate their roster based on their waiver claims
when you're claiming that many players as they did last week,
you don't love your roster. You like other teams cast offs
better than your own guys,
and that's what we saw. So
it's all going to be unjust a Fields. We're going to find out
if he is their quarterback of the present and the future
this year and
we'll see how that plays out but I just don't think this is
a team that's going to win very many games.
For the fans of Chicago.
See,
I'm nervous about picking any team from the NFC for this list
because I feel like it's wide open for the wild-card births
in the NFC. Because
there isn't that cluster of great teams in the AFC.
I think there will be multiple teams that don't make it to
the playoffs. That could have won the Superbowl. That's how good
that conference is. So, that's why I'll go text and you're
going to leave the Texans on the board. I'll take and I'm
taking the Texans.
How are they going to navigate? A gate
that Murderers Row
of opponents in the AFC and find themselves slipping in and
really, the only thing that benefits them is the division.
They're in because they could pick up a couple of wins
against the Jaguars. Maybe they can pick off a winner too
against the
Titans. Maybe they get lucky Week 1 against the cult,
I don't know.
At least I don't have to play all those other teams twice
like the teams in the AFC North and the AFC West do, maybe they
can win enough games to Not now now I'm not, I'm not,
they can't, they have no chance.
The Texans have no chance. I'll own this one next year
or sooner if they make it.
I'm not going to try to qualify to equivocate. They have no
chance.
Well, I'm gonna stick with the NFC and Mike, you made me
really, really nervous because my three picks are going to be
from the NFC. So who this is gonna be bad next year, maybe
for me, but I'm going to go with the Falcons because I
think it's some point. They're going to need to play their
rookie quarterback to see what they have in him because I just
don't think this is a very good team. They haven't been
the same team Mike since the
Half of that Super Bowl in 2016.
2017 was the last time they had a winning record. Last time
they made the playoffs and I just think it was a testament
to how good Matt Ryan was his ability that they won more
games. They want as many games as they did, three of the last
four
years. And I don't think Marcus Mariota is as good
as Matt Ryan. So I think they're going to take a step
back from those seven wins that they've had over the last few
years and probably get more in that four or five.
Five range and really be looking to the Future to
rebuild this team.
I'm going to go with the New York Jets. Sorry, Jets fans.
I know you along with all the fans of the bad teams out there
of cause yourself to think that this year could be the year.
But you look at the AFC East, you got the
bills, the Dolphins, and the Patriots, all legitimate
playoff contenders, right out of the gates, the Jets, play
the four teams one. After another of the AFC North, they
eventually have the Packers in the Vikings on the schedule.
I think it's going to be a tough year, for the New York
Jets in the way. Schedule is structured, all the tough games
are early. They could be dead and done and gone. By the time
they get to the second half of the Season,
which is what I think they will be Jets. No chance of making
the playoffs.
All right, here we here we show round three of the teams that
have no chance at making the playoffs last year as
a refresher, Shereen struggle between the Panthers and
the Bengals took the Panthers and I said, well, why'd you
take the Panthers? The Bengals are the no-brainer they have no
chance in hell and they of course,
nearly won the Superbowl. Thank God, they didn't win the Super
Bowl. That would be the only way to make it worse. Who do
you have Shireen third round of the teams and have no chance to
make it to the playoffs?
Well I yeah we're rolling the dice. How many years your three
from last year that there's got to be some team to finish last
in the NFC West. So I'm going with the Seahawks and I know we
don't say the t word out loud, but that's
what this team looks like
to me, that they're tanking for that quarterback after this
year 7 and 10 last year, this will be the worst record of
Pete, Carroll's career with the Seahawks. I think they win
fewer than seven games.
Whoo, okay. Now now
I had been far more confident, the Seahawks until recently,
like recently reality is settled in, with Gino Smith is
the starter. And they didn't make a play for Jimmy
Garoppolo. And even though I'm a big believer in Pete, Carroll
as a coach. If you don't have the players,
it's harder to be
a good coach as Dick. Vermeil said at his Hall of Fame
induction, speech last month, I became a much smarter coach
once I got
Marshall Faulk. All right,
I
I want to say the Jaguars
But
I think I could be pretty good in there and that 29 spot and
we know what 29 meant for the Bengals last year. So I'm going
to Pivot to the Giants
even though they're in a division.
That's it is fairly wide open.
I just don't see it. I don't think they believe in Daniel
Jones. They would have picked up the fifth year option if
they did
the offensive line still needs work. I think Kavon Thibodeau
is not going to contribute at all this year. I think they've
got questions. They got issues the stink over that franchise.
Is too strong for Brian Day ball and Joe Shane
to get rid of it in one year, so I'll go Giants.
So congratulations, Giants fans. Your team is going to
the Super Bowl.
Well and I had the Giants, I'm going to be honest here, I had
the Giants is my fourth team, just in case you picked one of
my teams and I had to Pivot some other way, so I did have
them on the list. I'll admit. So if they make the playoffs,
I'm right there with you.
So you came to the table with four,
which is always a little risky.
I always come to the table with six,
just in case. Well, you only need five because you're
getting the first pick anyway. But you went all NFC teams,
that's that in and of itself. Is gutsy because I think
the end of sea is wide open wide open.
