2024-25 NFL Thread

CJ Stroud is +4000 for MVP, just sayin'.

Texans are better than the Jaguars

[tower912]

The Ravens embarrass two of the better teams in the NFC.  Then they play a division foe.....

[Dish]

Texans are better than the Jaguars

Totally agree.

I've been sitting on a Texans to win the AFC South at +1100 from week one.

Who is enthused for the Raiders-Jets game?   


Nobody.

[Lennys Tap]

I don't think I made that claim or even suggested it.

I do admit that I "side" with the athletes in all sports, including college sports. In the NFL, in particular, I can understand why elite athletes for whom a career-ending injury is always only 1 play away, might feel they need to threaten to hold out until they have long-term contracts.

Why do you "side" with them? If you didn't think there were good guys (players) and bad guys (owners) there would be no logical reason to choose a side.

The owners are the bad guys

But wait, Brian Danilo was a genius last year.

The owners are the bad guys

Especially the Packers' owners.

Without the athletes, there are no sports. And I tend to side with those taking physical (and often financial) risk over those taking only financial risk. And let's be honest -- there hasn't even been any financial risk in being an NFL owner for decades.

Besides don't we all take sides on all kinds of things in life without necessarily thinking one side is "good" and one side is "bad"? I sure know I do.

The NFL leaning on the NY teams for marquee games ends up being an absolute fiasco as this could be the worst combined season for the Jets/Giants in ages.  Everyone gets a horrible Giants/Cowboys game and misses one of the most fun games of the year between the Lions and the Chargers.  And then SNF is an absolute pillow fight joke.

I get it. The Giants made the playoffs last year and Rodgers was supposed to be leading the Jets.

I just wish they would have switched to the Seattle game earlier. Or better yet, offer the double-window for the later games.

Especially the Packers' owners.

Hey I ask tough questions at the annual shareholders meetings.

[GB Warrior]

Especially the Packers' owners.

Their decisions lately are worse than their previous decision to vacation in DC in January 2021.

Well, duh.  They let Rodgers be the GM and hire the OC and he thinks Wilson can be a star. 

Feel bad for Saleh.  They could have gone after a QB that isn't 40 and doesn't work out in the off-season.  Instead, they're stuck with Wilson and guys on the roster that are washed up.  Hope he gets another gig where they have a good QB and good owner

[MU82]

That FG attempt felt very tanky even if they don't have a 1st rounder 

Reich admitted in his press conference today that he shouldn't have gone for the FG. That's really high-quality thinkin' on his feet there - got the play right, but it only took him 4 days!

This Bills team is definitely really iffy for a playoff birth.

I'm stunned how much they've imploded. They are just absolutely broken

Well played sir, well played. I was going to edit it too.

[Herman Cain]

49ers Chase Young and Nick Bosa are going to be a real menace for opponents offensive lines

The amount of turnovers by the bills is absolutely unreal.

Broncos did a nice job getting the FG team out there.  Can't imagine Buffalo pulling that off
