2024-25 NFL Thread

I like the trades for both the Jets and the Bills - each desperately needed a playmaking WR. Given Cooper's contract situation, that looks like the better deal, and earlier in his career he always seemed to come up with clutch catches.

The Bills have a QB, at least

Cooper is very underrated. Think he'll be very good with the Bills. Will be very curious what the Chiefs do.

He's highly mercurial and wore out his welcome with the Raiders and Cowboys because of his moodiness and inconsistency. One week he looks like one of the league's best, the next like he barely wants to be there.

Packers sign Brandon McManus to handle kicking duties. 😬😬😬

Proficient in handling

Well, it's an upgrade on the football field from last season and this season at least.

The Panthers suck but they have a darn good WR in Diontae Johnson. They got him in one of their rare good trades because the Steelers wanted to dump him due to behavioral issues. But he's been a model citizen for Carolina, and he is having a nice season.

He'll be a free agent after the season, and I'm guessing he and Carolina will part ways then ... unless they trade him first.

If I'm the Chiefs, I'm definitely inquiring.

Panthers should trade for Pickens and keep the cycle going

Owners approve Jags 30 year lease on new stadium. I guess Owners want a team that they count on to comfortably beat for the next 30 years.

Wonder how the diabetes plays into it, if at all.  Zero excuse to be behind the wheel after drinking in general, but I had a former coworker, also a type one diabetic, who got pinged for a DUI after blowing too high after a drink or two.  But requested a blood test which came back well under the limit, cause apparently diabetes can both exacerbate symptoms and the ketones incorrectly elevate breathalyzer BAC.

Also, I'm sure plenty of people hate it, but that handgun possession under the influence is honestly a clever law to further deter drunk driving.  Obviously it goes without saying for carrying/using while drunk outside of your car in public.  When it comes to possession in your vehicle, its never an issue unless you're already operating under the influence, which there is no excuse for anyways.

And Jay is vocal about the deep state.  Could be a setup

Word is, Cutler didn't just throw up ... he over-threw up.

And then choked.

[Dish]

Another drive ruined by a bad Cutler decision.

[Jay Bee]

Jay Cutler hard af (pawz)

Kristin looking good these days tho

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Considering jay's propensity to hit the wrong guy, I wouldn't want him with a loaded gun while hammered either.

Next year's draft will be pretty interesting for QB's. I didn't love Ewers or Beck coming into tonight, and both of them were terrible. I just do not see future NFL weekly starter for either guy.

Milroe just doesn't pop, I watch Alabama games and come away wondering why he didn't do more.

I think Sanders is destined for Miami, I've felt for a while that's where Deion wants him to end up.

Wild card in the class is Cam Ward. If he wound up in LA with McVay and the Rams, I'd be intrigued.

Patriots up early on the road

Lawrence, it looks like.  Etienne is out

London Jaguars very difficult to beat at home.

Milroe is an interesting case. He's got the best tools in this QB class when you consider arm strength and athleticism, but he struggles with simple throws and reads. There were so many plays for him yesterday against Tennessee that he just didn't read right or missed the throw.
If things break right, he could have a Josh Allen-esque development in the pros, or he could be a poor man's Justin Fields.

Terrible decision by Mayo to go for 2 there.

Terrible decision by Mayo to go for 2 there.

Why? If you're going to miss a two point conversion, you should miss it early.
