Which NFL teams need a new stadium? Commanders made the list

Multiple NFL teams need new stadiums. None more so than the Washington Commanders.

Pro Football Talk hosts Mike Florio and Chris Simms asked, “Which NFL teams need a new stadium?”

The Commanders were the second team mentioned, only the Jacksonville Jaguars were listed ahead of the Commanders as teams in need of a stadium. Simms said, “the Jaguars stadium is the worst in the NFL.”

“If I was FedEx, what I would do at this point is pay even more money for them to put UPS on FedEx Field. Please name it after out top competitor because that place is a sh_ _ hole,” expressed Florio.

“I’ve been there, and literally, the pipe busted, and sewage was coming down on the fans. The railing broke, and people fell and there was litigation over that and it almost took out Jalen Hurts walking by as he was coming off of the field.”

“That place needs to go, and that is one of the reasons people are excited about the sale of the team. Because chances are whoever gets the team is going to be given the keys to build a new stadium at the site of RFK.”

Simms echoed Florio, saying he had played there and been there as well. “The location sucks; it’s in the middle of nowhere, and nobody even wants to freakin’ go there. It’s so far from Washington DC and all of that.”

Simms then chose MetLife Stadium, saying he still loves the Giants but feels for New York the stadium “is just not good enough.”

Florio then chose Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, and Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs for 50 years.

Simms chose the Saints’ home of the Superdome, declaring, It is outdated and needs a refresh for sure.”

New York Jets’Ā 2020 win total: Best bet

Odds viaĀ BetMGM; accessĀ USA TODAY Sportsā€™ betting oddsĀ for a full list.Ā Odds last updated Friday, May 8 at 2 p.m. ET.

Projected wins: 6.5 / OVER:Ā  -130 / UNDER: +110

The success of the Jets in 2020 boils down to if head coach Adam Gase is the guy for the job and if QBĀ Sam DarnoldĀ is a franchise quarterback. If either is untrue, then how could you bet the Jets Over 6.5 wins?Ā Gase has failed to make the playoffs, or finish .500 or above, for the past three seasons (one at the Jets and two as head coach of the Miami Dolphins).

A Gase-coached team has never been ranked higher than 25th in yards per game and was ranked higher than 26th by Football Outsiders’ offensive DVOA once (his first season coaching the Dolphins in 2016).Ā 

New general manager Joe Douglas did a good job getting pieces to fit around Darnold with Becton and Mims but they’ll need to be good fast if the passing game is going to turn around in 2020. Pro Football Focus graded Darnold as the 31st-best quarterback last season (out of 37) and the Jets passing game ranked 27th in QB Rating, 29th in passing yards per game and gave up the fourth-most sacks.

The Jets’ schedule isn’t doing Darnold any favors either; the top-10 stingiest passing defenses they face include the Bills (twice), Patriots (twice), 49ers, Chiefs, Chargers and Browns.

TAKEĀ the JETS UNDER 6.5 wins (+110).
