Week 16 – At New Orleans – Rough normally but they are on a win steak and 8-1 in the last 9 games. They are 9-5. We cannot let their turnaround stop our quest for the top seed.

The 2032 NFC South:

Carolina Panthers, 16-1, Champ
New Orleans – 10-7, WC
Atlanta 6-11
Tampa Bay, 3-14


We accomplished our #1 seed instead of wildcard,that was the only time we made it to the Super Bowl, and we lost…now? Can we head back and win? Let’s find out!!!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2032 NFL Playoffs:


Wild Card Weekend:

Since the Eagles beat us by one at our place, I’d like them to get knocked out, and we lost to Chicago last year.

Results:

Bills over Jags 33-30
Browns over Steelers 20-14
Chiefs over Colts 33-13

Bears over Pack 23-9 - bad
Saints over Eagles – nice!
Seahawks over Lions 13-6

We host the Saints. They owe us and are a better team, and they just beat the Super Bowl winning team at home as a WC which we could a few years ago.


Divisional Champion Weekend:

Can we go 3-0 against the Saints this year? I’d love that to happen and then the Seahawks knockout the Bears. We win a close and high scoring 38-30.

Fiste is 24 o’ 36, 243 and 4:0. TDs by Sternberger, Bruseloff, Currie and Gonzalez.
S O’Shea PR RET TD!!!
FF by Winfield and recc bu DT Graham
A pair of sacks by Tae
4 KRBby Festa, 3 by Montnao


The bad news is that all home teams won

Chicago 36-10 over Seahawks

Raiders over Browns 25-13
Bills over Chiefs 33-17


The Conference Championship:

We host the 14-3 Bears who beat us in the playoffs last year, revenge!!!

We win a lower score 23-21.

Berton 15 for 116; Fiste 17 of 23 166 and 2:0. Scores by Sibley and Sternberger! Pick by Horn jus tone sack, 6 KRb byFEsta 3 by Montano


Also the Bills won the road 36-33. We’ll be getting the rough and nasty Josh Allen in a Super Bowl. He’s still a strong QB in the league at 65/65.


The 2032 NFL Super Bowl:

Your #2 Seed 11-6 AFC Champion Buffalo Bills

Vs

Your #1 Seed 16-1 NFC Champion Carolina Panthers


Can we win our first Championship in our dynasty, Fiste’s career and ever? Last time it was Patrick Mahomes we faced, this time…Josh Allen and….we win with a normal game score of 24-16.

Fiste was 1 rush score, 25 of 32, 266 and 2;0. Catching was Bruseloff and Gonzalez.
Pick by Winfield, 5 KRB bby Montano, 4 each by rookie Young and Bailey.


It’ll be rough to go against the Saints again next year who won the last three years, but we took our window of opportunity!!!

See why Howells should have gotten 2nd? Sacks!!! McKendrick 2nd on sacks. DE Salazar 4, Kidder 3.5 in rotation, and ILB Cashman a rare 3 sacks and 2 FF better than normal. Good sack year!

Coverage:

CB Horn – 3 picks as dimeback, 5 padef

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Offseason:

We get a score of 76.

Our new Stadium opens!!! I keep tix the same to see if we can sellout again! I raise boxes since we are always selling them more price.

Who is coming back?

TE Pitts, FS Holland, FB Valentine, K Aubrey, Legette, LS Deckers, Smith-Wade,

Retiring is Horn, Winfield

Staff Draft:

No changes

We are drafting 1.32 The draft is revealed . I need depth at S. This is a one QB draft at the top named Neil Munoz at 9.3 and then low 6s for another, two 8.1 and one 7.0 RB, a 6.2 TE! He’s Iman and As Scouted, and could go very high. Just one 6.6 WR, and the rest are50s. two OGsm 3 7.0 OT and four 6s, 7 Des in the 6.0ss, 5DTs, WLB? 5 OLB and one 7.6 As Scouted 6 mLB< just four CBs and two S.

Tag: I have coming free of value:

CB Caputo, LT Bailey, OLB MacMillian, WR Sternberger, Sibley, S O’Shea,

No tag. I’ll see you in FA!!!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Early Free Agency:

Day 1 – I have in cash free 38.05 mill. I have on my roster 37 and up to 51 free.

Who do I want to make offers to that are gone:

WR Sternberger wants too much – 59.8 over three years
WR Sibley- We sign to minsal, one year
TE McAlister -
TE Pitts – At 46/46 wants 3.61 this year. 13 year vet, should I spend or keep? Let’s look at extensions first.
FS O’Shea – We sign to 6.26 for 2 years, cap hit this year of 2.92
LS Deckers – 2 years 3.05 mill
CB Caputo – wants 8.9 for 2years, cap hit of 4.18, I hold off until extensions
LB MacMillian – Wants 8.58 for 2 yers, cap hit of 3.85, I holdoff until extensions

I need money to chase WR, WLB, CB and SS.

Extensions:

OG Montano – Cap hit of 11.88 wants two years, 18.05, same cap hit this year, done
CB Smith-Wade – Cap hit of 4.99, wants 2 at 8.2, this year 4.75. done
TE Bruseloff – Wants 2 years at 19.8 for 5 mill cap hit, no thanks
LG Robert – Cap hit of 16.4, wants 2 year deal for 22.4, cap drop to 12.03. Done!
DE Hockenhull – Cap hit of 11.56. Wants 26.3 mill and raise to 12.54. he’s so solid and consistent I do it.
DE Salazar – Cap hit 3.82; wants 10.39 for 3.28. pass rush of 63 Signed.
DE Kidder – Cap hit of 4.7, pass rush of 62,w ants 2 years at 7.45 Hit of 4.41, dropped to 40/40, will let go.
DE McKendrick – 61/61, rookie, cap hit of 2.64, wants 53.29 for four years, cap hit of 10.56. Done.

WR Legette – 50/50, age 32, 10 year vet, cap hit of 19.11, wants 28.11, drop hit to 15.7. But he dropped, will he want the same? Should I let him finish or cut and resign tomorrow like I did with Winfield? I would free by cutting him 16.24. I hold off to see later, if I can just extend or cut him after what my cap looks like.


For Pitts, Caputo and MacMillian, Legette I have 28.58 and around 19 mill left in the kitty. If I resigned all three, total this year of 11.64 and then extended Legette and saved 3.41 mill, that would be left 8.23 off 19 so around 11 mill left. That’s not much for a renovated 2ndary and WR corps. I cut Legette. If he’s too pricey or signs elsewhere, I can use that cash. He won his Super Bowl. I resign the three. I have left 33.36. Around 24 mill for FAs

Day 2 –

WR Legette wants 12.34 mil for 2 years, cap hit this year of 5.75. I offer up to 6.0. 18 mill left

WR is deep but high value stuff. Three are in the low 50s. I need to replace Sternberger and then also others. I cut WLB Streb and free up 15 mill. That gives me 47.63. and 32 after Legette to chase better WRs

The best young one:

WR Ken Buysse - 63/63 - 7th year vet, age 28, wants 59.45 mill for 3 years, cap hit this year of 16.5

Or

WR Duke Daniel – 7th year vet, age 27, 62/62, wants 54.14 mill 3 years, cap hit of 15.07

Daniel is just one worse and a year younger. If I offered Daniel for 15.5, that would leave free 16.5 mill for others

What about Ss? With Winfield retiring, I only have FS on my roster, and that’s 43/43 Meade.

SS Ronald Van Dusan – 8th year vet, age 28, 64/64 The top SS, wants 37.83 for three years, cap hit this one of 10.7.

He’s a temporary measure, but a younger 8th year.

Also free at SS and not retirement age is 55/55 Troy Kisner, who wants 2 20.59 cap hit of 9.5 and is 26.

The budget option:

SS Jeffery Albert – Age 27 5th year, 54/54, wants 11.22 for three years, cap hit of 3.16

Albert is just one year younger than Van Dusan though.

FS to replace Holland or Meade?

FS Butch Lebowitz – 7th year, age 29, 55/55, wants 3 for 31.45 cap hit of 8.89.

The only budget “young” option is:

FS JJ Arana - 8th year, 51/51,wants 9.78 for 3 years, cap hit of 2.9.

If I offer Arana as a cheap backup at 3.2 or starter based on the draft, SS Van Dusan at 11 and Daniel at 16, that’s 30.2 used offered. That uses up most of my cap space,

What about cheap WLB?

WLB Asher Robinson - Age? 27 5tth year, 53/53, pass rush of 77, str of 69, wants 37.5 mil for 3 and cap hit of 10 mill.

There are no good cheap young pass rushers that are well rounded…

WLB Kaden Bednarski – 51/51, All Pro last year, age 25, 5th year vet, pass rush of 84, str of 100, 46 run def, wants 3 years and 13.91 and cap hit of 3.88. Nasty good.

That would let SLB Howells play his natural position at SLB by my staff I am sure. Last year he had 12 sacks, just like Howells. And in 2031 too, as well as two 9.5 sacks years as 1st and 2nd year player. In four years he has 43 sacks. I do like him, if I offered him 4.25, I could bring in SS Albert instead, that’s leave me around 8.5 after the draft.

I offer Van Dusan, Arana, Bednarski and Daniel

Day 7 – Bednarski signs for much less elsewhere.

Day 9 – WR Daniel signs!

Day 10 – FS Arana joins

Day 13 – Legette and Van Dusan sign!

I head to the draft

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Amateur Draft:

1st Round – 1/32 is here.

We need: stud RB, starting FS only, starting stud and backup CB, TE, backup RT, WLB starter, backup Qb for Koepke. Starter WR only.

Who fell to us at the end of the first?

My staff want CB Jace Clark. He’s 6.0, the top CB, and As Scouted. He doesn’t have great

There is a 6.8 RB Rudolph Coler As Scouted.

WR Chris Lobo is very underrated at 5.9, the 3rd top WR. Lobo looks good, I grab him in Xavier Leggette’s draft spot at 1.32.

2nd Round - I get a draft trade offer for this pick by the Bengals for their 10th pick next round and two 5th.

Hmm…

My staff here like DT Monty Hall, a 6.2 As Scouted and top on the board or his position. Three ILBs and one OLB in the 6.0s are there.

ILB Seth Lenard - 6.3, very underrated. Good bars, too, I take Lenard and decline the trade.

3rd Round – Our staff like here S Manny Girard. He’s the top S at 5.0 but very overrated, no thanks.

Who’s the BAP? RB Dee Jarosek , very underrated 6.0 is.

The top TE is 4.6 Cary Bonds underrated and at 4.4 a few more down is Humphries at very underrated.

CB Jenkins is 5.3 and underrated , not great bars

DT Topp is 5.5 and NT and very underrated. Bars are fine for here.

I do Humphries, since our TE is dwindling with age.

4th Round – My staff here like CB Malone , he is top 5.0 rated corner with a very overrated interview. No thanks

DT Topp fell.

RT Marco Shoup, 5.5 As Scouted is the top RT on the board.

RB Lewis – very underrated, 5.9? Let’s do it.

5th Round – Shoup still on the board, I want to grab him, but my staff like CB Tito baker. He’s also very underrated, I do Shoup

6th Round – My staff like CB Sawyer Cook a 4. Underrated CB I go for it.

7th Round – My staff here like OLB Di Pietro who is 4.5 and As Scouted. Fine.

The 2033 Carolina Panthers

1.32 – FL Chris Lobo, Penn State, 54/66
2.32 – WILB Seth Lenard, Missouri Southern State, 43/69
3.32 – TE Shaquille Humphries, Southern California, 26/41,
4.32 – RB Teddy Lewis, Memphis, 39/45
5.32 – RT Marco Shoup, Oklahoma, 27/41
6.32 – CB Sawyer Cook, Arizona State, 27/35
7.32 – WLB Ernie Di Pietro, Southern California, 26/39

In Lobo we trust! Remember ,he’s very underrated. Looking good!!! If Lenard holds, he can start after Grimble busted. Both very underrated. Humphries a bit raw, but otherwise hopefully will grow with very underrated too. Ditto Lewis. Di Pietro is a pass rushing stud with 86.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Late Free Agency:

We have a roster of 52, and cap space of 11.4

Day 1 -

I offer these UFAs:

CB Harris Whitcomb – 26/51, three years
SS Mitch Brisker – 25/51 = ditto
QB Reggie Looney - 28/42 ditto
TE Evan Mitika, 29/45 – ditto
DT Dallas Sears – 30/47 -ditto

There is a strong 2nd year 55/55 DE that wants 2 mill to sign per year, but that’s a spot I am loaded at. Even backup. He’s 33/34 rush, but 86 strength and 68 run, I would offer if he was better at the rushing

Fiste has risen to 6th best QB, by the by.

Day 2 – Looney joins

Day 3 – Mitika joins!!

Day 4 – Brisker joins, there are 7 offers for Sears and 5 for Whitcomb so I update mine

Day 5 – Both sign!

UFAs:

CB Harris Whitcomb – 25/47
SS Mitch Brisker – 25/46
QB Reggie Looney - 28/41 ditto
TE Evan Mitika, 27/42 –
DT Dallas Sears – 30/47

Sears the same, everyone else worse.


We head to preseason!!!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Preseason:

I didn’t resign Holland. I have 57 on my roster

Week 2 - Baltimore – They edge us 28-27 in a close battle, no injures

Week 3 – At New York Jets – We win 23-7.

Week 4 – At Buffalo – Can we win the preseason at 2-1? Yes 21-6. But TE Melitika is doubtful

Rookie Lookie #2:

1.32 – FL Chris Lobo, Penn State, 54/66, 37/43
2.32 – WILB Seth Lenard, Missouri Southern State, 43/69, 48/57
3.32 – TE Shaquille Humphries, Southern California, 26/41, 28/36
4.32 – RB Teddy Lewis, Memphis, 39/45, 39/42
5.32 – RT Marco Shoup, Oklahoma, 27/41, 30/42
6.32 – CB Sawyer Cook, Arizona State, 27/35, 30/43
7.32 – WLB Ernie Di Pietro, Southern California, 26/39, 30/41

I don’t like that back to back very underrated’s busted. Rough. Lobo. A big miss, Lenard dropped 12. Humphries 5 another very underrated miss, ditto Lewis. Rise by Cook doesn’t make up for it.

UFAs:

CB Harris Whitcomb – 25/47, 26/36
SS Mitch Brisker – 25/46, 26/36
QB Reggie Looney - 28/41, 30/40
TE Evan Mitika, 27/42, 30/38
DT Dallas Sears – 30/47, 31/42

Big tumble by Whitcomb and Brisker. Less by Mitika, Sears

Horrible tumbles. Just one at 50 and will start Lenard.

Here is Seth:



Dropped 12, but still WILB better than 52/52, actually Ederman rose to 56/56 in preseason. You can see that Lenard is good at run, diag, and okay and rush and man-to-man.


I cut these 5:

RG Petrucci
WLB Hildebrand
SS Brisker
RB Lewis
Wr Bonura

Here’s my starters:


The 2033 Carolina Panthers:



Here we go!!! Legette fell to 41/41, FS JJ Arana to 42/42. Parr isn’t starting at LT. Should I cut Marroquin? We are down with the draft and Lobo is slot. Caputo down to 49/49. Meade starting at FS. Not a great roster at secondary or WR outside of Daniel. He dropped to 57/57 from 62/62.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 Regular Season:

Can we win back to back Super Bowls? Always rough. Also the Saints won’t have given us a window of opportunity with a bad early 0-5 start before going 10—2 to get to the playoff as a Wild Card. With my draft busts and Legette and Daniel not looking as strong, what will happen without a strong WR core? In a spread offense? I also don’t have RB Taylor to lean on and win them.

Week 1 – At New Orleans – Well they aren’t setting us up for a great start. We are going up against the Big Bad. At their place. I feel like the Bills or Dolphins when the Patriots were at their best, and in the year that they stumbled we won, but now? We gotta get out! Can we win, or even just show up? 24-9 us, yes we can! Rush score by RB Currie, Fiste 20 of 30 for 2:0 and 189 yards, scores by Gonzalez, FF bY Howells and ILB O’Rourke, rec by Kidder and Hockenhull, 2.5 sacks by Tae, 4 KRB by Montano. Great start!!

Week 2 – Cincinnati – We host recent Super Bowl winner. We shut them out 27-0!!! Goood jorb D! Curries 16 for 142 and 1 score, Fiste is 24 of 28, efficient, for 229 and 2:0. Daniel is 10 for 106 and TD snags by Currie and Gonzalez. No tos? In a shut out? 3 sacks feels light. Montano 6 KRB, and 4 each by Festa and Robert

Week 3 – At Chicago – Our first close game we win 24-21. 2 rush scores by Currie, Fiste is 22 fo 32 for 255 and 1:3, rough day picks. Lobo 4 for 112, score by Currie, all three. FF by Caputo rec by Smith-Wade. Just 1 sack, 3 KRb by Young

TE Melitika’s injury is finished

Week 4 – At SF – Against Purdy away? Nasty opener too. We show up 43, they…don’t 7. Rush score by RB Orta, Fiste is 23 of 31 for 389 and 2:0, hitting for scores Gonzalez and Daniel for 151 yards. THREE PICKS by Caputo! Two by Smith-Wade. 1 FumRec score by LS Deckers! 0 sacks, 5 KRB by Montano, 3 b yRobert

1st quarter mark we are 4-0, just like the last two years.
Everyone else is 2-2 or 1-3

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – Las Vegas – We win a one score shoot out 35-30. Currie one rush TD Berton 2, Fiste is 24 of 30 for 313 and 2:0. Daniel and Bruseloff scores. FF by Tae rec by Hockenhull, 1.5 sacks by Hockenhull, 5 KRB by Young, 4 by Montano, 3 by Marroquin,

Week 6 – Los Angeles Rams – We run all over them 25-13 ,literally with Currie 18 for 175 and Fiste and Berton rush scores. Fiste was also 15 of 29 for 151 and 1:0. Score by Currie, pick by S Meade, FF by CB Selle rec by LB MacMillian, just one sack, but it was a strip sack by Selle! 6 KRB by Marroquin, 5 by Robert, 4 by Young

Week 7 – Seattle – We beat them 35-28. They showed up for a cross-nation game, respect! Currie 21 for 107 and Mar rush score. Fiste a quiet 18 of 24 for182 and 3:0. Scores by Mar, Sibley and Currie. Pick by FS Arana, Fumrec by Tae, but 4 FF on the day. 5 KRB by Montano, 3 by Festa

Week 8 – At Atlanta – Can we win and go 8-0 in the first half? Yes, 24-17! FIste is 24 of 34 for 235 and 3:1, hitting for scores Bruseloff 2 for 130 yards and Gonzalez 1. Pick by Caputo, CB Selle and ILB O’Rourke, just one sack, 5 KRB by Robert, 4 by Montano

We are 8-0, everyone else is 4-3.

Stats:

QB Fiste – 1943 yards, 9th most, his fewest at this point
RB Currie – 745 yards, 5th best
WR Daniel – 563 yards
NT Tae - 5 sacks
CB Caputo – 4 picks

I end the season:

The 2034 NFL Offseason:

Before I do I have 53 on my roster.

After I do, i have 52. I think TE Pitts retired. I have 43 active. We score a 79

We sold 99.7% of our tickets. I massage our prices a bit

Staff draft:

I extend AC Daryl Starnes, also free are HC Austin and OC Zeidan. Austin doesn’t want to come back.

I like GB OC Adam Stanovich, 51, 100 youth, scout, likes OL and balanced, 80 dev and playcalling, 70 inter, 60 INT, 50 dis, weakness 20 motivation.

Or OC Zac Taylor, Eagles, 100 youth and scout, 90 dis, 80 playcalling, inter, 50 dev and int, weakness 30 mot,

I hire Taylor

I reup Zaidan

Draft is revealed and there is one stud QB atop it. We have 6 Wrs in the 6.0 to draft, 2 7.0 RBs, one 5.7 TE above them all, and with Bruseloff down to 44/44 that’ s not bad, just one C, 5 Gs, and 6 Ots. 4 Des and 3 Dts about right. 7 total 6.0 LBs about typical too, and then just 3 total low 6.0s CB and S, so this is not that year, I’ll need to mine for FS in FA.

Tag – I have coming free no one in the 50s or more. I sign no one.

See you at FA Day 1 for negotiations!!
