In context

BillJacobs got in trouble, had a thing on the offseason, not great. Their special teams always sucks.

BillI had them at 22 points for their roster, which usually throws me toward the playoffs, but I couldn't get there. I'm under. I'm 9 -8. Wow. I think they were 9 -7 -1 last year. I think they're 9 -8. There's a team I like more in this division than them. Okay. And I did not want to have three playoff teams, so they were the loser, 9 -8.

BillBut I don't feel great about it.

SalI have them at 11 -6. I think the Jacobs thing... That feels like a lock.

SalJacobs is troubling, for sure. He's going to miss time. But Marshawn Lynch is not a bad... Marshawn Lloyd, before you jump in there.

SalMarshawn Lynch. And Marshawn Lynch. No, he's not going to do anything.

SalHe's a decent replacement.
