Signed Bud Dupree from Pittsburgh and drafted corner Caleb Farley in the first round. Will that be enough? We'll see.

These are definitely the big gets in the off season defensively. Also picked up another edge player from Colts, Denico Autry. Took a linebacker in the third round, but that position is still pretty much shit. We got Janoris Jenkins at cornerback, which is pretty great. Also, Kevin Johnson, who I don't know about but is coming from Bills and Browns, so I think that bodes well.

I think everyone on the Titans team is aware just how shitty the defense was. This still seems kind of patchwork and will need some strong coaching to coalesce. Our new defensive coordinator may or may not be up to the task. But we'll see!

That's fucking awesome. I love it.

I want to roll it around a bit...but my gut reaction is this is a good thing. And Browns supposedly over 50%, one of the higher rates in league (supposedly, who knows).

If it forces those antivaxx players or coaches to get the vaccines, it's definitely a good thing. Hell, anything that forces people to get a vaccine against a deadly, contagious disease (a vaccine, which if I'm not wrong, is free), is unquestionably a good thing.

Broncos are apparently 85% vaccinated.

[Philip J. Fry]

Ed Bouchette said the Steelers were also at 85% as off late June.

[DFA1979]

Is there a list of teams that says which ones have gotten the vaccine the most?

Also I'm fine with it. The NFL doesn't play around.

[Philip J. Fry]

It's back!!!

[Ezee E]

Love these

[DFA1979]

Yey it's time! The Chiefs one is gonna be brutal and I'm all here for it.

"I had a truly optimistic feeling about Zach Wilson, not the faux optimism I had with Darnold. One of those reasons was the presence of QB whisper, Greg Knapp. It finally felt like we had the right support staff in place for the right QB prospect. Welp, Knapp was just hit by a car and killed. This is not a joke and there are no winners (RIP)."

Shit.

[Philip J. Fry]

Well, darn.

[DFA1979]

The Jags one was solid but the Jets one is probably going to be very hard to top. It had two quality zingers I decided to quote:

"They kicked a field goal while down 24-3 to a San Francisco team that came into that game with more casualties than World War I."

"Perpetual black lung victim Sam Darnold was traded to the Panthers for a 57th-round pick and an opened package of AA batteries."

Oh and the fan letters were brutal. It's hard to root for a team that can't even give you false hope anymore.

The Jets/Raiders game last year is an all-timer.

I didn't see that one however I did view via my phone thanks to Verizon's deal with the NFL app the MNF Jets vs Pats game. Flacco plays his old heart out and the Pats still won the game. Pathetic, Jets.

I'm guessing the Browns one will be about how they used to suck so they will find a way to suck again.

Something about the weather would at least be a little more original. Felt like every game last year had 50+ MPH winds and/or crazy rain.

"About the only thing going for either of our franchises is that the old one had one of the best uniforms ever but we can’t use it or the Oilers name because for some reason the NFL didn’t give us the same option they gave Cleveland, if I want to play as the Oilers in Madden I have to play as our hated arch rival who left us.

My granddad saw the Oilers rip off a couple of AFL titles before the merger and turned my dad into a rabid Oilers fan, and then turned me into a rabid Oilers fan. He never got to see his beloved team in a Super Bowl and now he never will, because he didn’t survive living in Greg Abbott’s Covid wonderland. I lost him about a week before the Deshaun Watson massage scandal broke so I guess I should be thankful for small mercies. I know I was supposed to write about the Texans but that’s not really the team anyone in Houston loves. We all cheer for a dead team and we always will. What is grief if not Luv Ya Blue persevering, I guess."

[Skitch]

I have fond feelings for the Oilers.
