NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

There is no way the Ramsey trade makes sense for the Rams. Keep in mind, they still have to pay the guy next year.

...Unless they are secretly in Win Now mode. This team is going to be highly boom or bust for the next half decade in a division with two other teams that shouldn't be going anywhere.

How is trading for Ramsey a win now move though? They're pissing away their future trying to patch the wrong leak.

This trade honest to god seems like someone is intentionally trying to sabotage the franchise.

So you're saying wasting your money on RBs and average at best QBs hinders your ability to field the parts that a good team needs. Seems like I remember seeing this a few times this past decade........Hello Dallas! Here's hoping....

Well that's true in the longer term, I'm saying right now it's not just Gurley. It's a bunch of key injuries as well.

I forgot Talib was hurt too. Which I suppose moves the trade from 'sabotage' to just 'profoundly retarded'.

Many different problems but you break the bank trying to shore up the secondary, probably the lowest priority of your many problems?

Wow Rams are retarded.

TWO first round picks the next 2 years? AND A 4TH??? Even with the Peter's trade, they gave up a TON of draft capital just to have to pay a guy a ton of money to play a position you didnt need to address.

I understand the win now mindset, with Donald in his prime, the money Goff is getting, AND Gurley. But if Ramsey gets hurt or falls off they are fucked.

What's insane is the Rams havent had a first round draft pick since taking Goff 1st overall in 2016. They wont have another until 2022....that's 6 fucking years without a 1st round draft pick.

That's incredible.

Look at the post above you

Sorry, but I don't get this move by the Rams. I think Ramsey is a generational talent, probably best CB in the league. But the Rams have multiple holes to fill still, and paying that much draft capital for a guy that needs a gigantic contract, just doesn't make sense for the position they are in.

Yeah you posted it a second or two before me, probably almost instaneously

holy shit that is fucked. They better backload picks in rounds 2 through 7.

They have big contracts with Donald, Goff and Gurley. How they gonna pay Ramsey?

JAX trades Jalen Ramsey to LAR
Rams get: CB Jalen Ramsey
Jaguars get: 2020 first-round pick, 2021 first-round pick, 2021 fourth-round pick
Rams grade: C
Jaguars grade: C+



It's one 1st next year and one 1st 2021. That tweet was worded poorly.

I'd give the Jags an A. Two 1st rounders is huge. They are 2-4. May as well stack picks.

Those picks will be 25-30. So yes, technically 1st round picks, but it's not like they traded with the Redskins or Miami....

you know it's funny, the patriots are 6-0 and i think they are the worst 6-0 team ever.

i LOVE the patriots, but they have not been tested on defense once yet this year. Looking at the upcoming schedule for both the patriots AND the bills;
it is conceivable that the BILLS could finish with a better record in the regular season than the Patriots, if the patriots offense does not kick it up a notch. The way they have been playing this year, i think they will probably lose 3-4 games. the bills with how THEY have played.....could win 13 or 14 games(if it all pans out for them, the more realistic take is 11-12 wins)

the "good" teams the pats play for the rest of the season
cowboys ravens eagles chiefs texans bills

the "good" teams the Bills play for the rest of the season
Patriots, cowboys ravens eagles

lets say the pats lose 3 or 4 of those games...- say eagles or texans ravens and chiefs

it is entirely possible that the Bills could finished 14-2 or 13-3 and win the division-yet LOSE to the patriots Twice.

the injuries on offense for the patriots this year have been difficult.
center - out for year
tackle Winn - IR might come back
2x Fullbacks- both on IR Devlin might come back if winn or harry do not.
WR- harry- IR, but back practicing might be one of the 2 eligible to come off IR- can come back vs Ravens
wr- gordon - banged up
wr- edelman- banged up
wr dorset - banged up- has not played in 2 weeks

Chanur still hope for the Chargers!

Rivers gifs are great
