N.F.L. 24-25 Season (5 Viewers)

[Warrior]

Rams fans dancing up a storm over that epic win over the Seachickens...............you go Rams fans............

Those penalties are so avoidable if you are a team player.

If Mike Tomlin could not teach him then no one can.

Deja vu...Pickens excessive celebration penalty after a fantastic TD against the Raiders...like my dad used to say..."I buy them the books but they just don't read them"...Pickens is so talented...but he just can't control his emotions...

 

[Combat]

They're playing the same schedule as the Bills outside of two games and they beat the Bills already plus Tampa, both on the road, I'd hardly call either one of those two teams cupcakes.

Who in the AFC is Ohio State in your scenario, show your work.

The AFC stinks this year. That's the point but I would still take Buffalo, KC, Indy, or Denver over the Pats in the playoffs. The playoffs are a whole different deal than playing teams like the Saints, Titans, Falcons and Jets every week. The only quality win for the Pats is Tampa.

So you'd take the Bills over the Patriots after the Patriots beat them already in Buffalo?

And Indy with Daniel Jones as QB?

And Denver with 47 year old Nix as QB, they barely beat the Raiders, who blow, 10-7 at home, they have 5 wins by a margin of 3 points or less, it took a Festivus miracle for them to beat the Giants, but the Giants being the Giants blew a 20 point 4th quarter lead.
'
As far as the Chefs, it looks like the refs aren't in their back pockets anymore, they have no shot at winning the division and will be lucky to get into the playoffs as a WC, will have to win three games on the road to get back to the SB.

What the Patriots are doing this year is gravy, all I wanted was for their games not to put me to sleep like the past 3 years, it's fun to watch football again, they have THE coach and THE QB, which is what you need to win in this league, IMO they are a year or two away from being a serious SB threat, I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season and see how things play out.

My suggestion is you worry about your Rams vs the Eagles, that looks like the NFCCG, which thanks to that blocked FG will be played in Philly at the end of January, so it will either be cold as balls or snowing, or both and we all know how well those west coast teams do in the cold, like that 70's footage of the Rams playing the Vikings in MN with snow on the ground and minus degree wind chill, the Rams looked like they were dressed for Stalingrad, they had no shot to win, would have been better off staying at the hotel.

But in the meantime; Rams fans are still dancing up a storm over that resounding win vs the Seachickens and Sam Darnold, I would have lost that bet "Is Sam Darnold still in the NFL?"...........

In the playoffs, I'll take the experience of the Bills and Chiefs over the Pats any day. The Bills are going to clobber them the next time they play. The Pats have the second softest schedule in the NFL. They haven't beat anyone except the bottom dwellers. They even lost to the hapless Raiders. When you finish at the bottom like the Pats have over the last several years, you get some great draft picks to improve your team. They are the TCU of the NFL. Their record is an illusion.

Like I said; they weren't expected to do much of anything this year, 9-8 would have been a success, which would have doubled their win total from the past two years combined, all fans wanted was for Maye to take the next step and progress as an NFL quarterback, no one was predicting playoffs, soft schedule or not, if you stink, you lose to soft teams because you in turn are a soft team, all you can do is play who's on your schedule.

They had an historic 19 year run, won the division 17 years out of that 19 year run, finished above 500 in the two years they did not win the division, did not make the playoffs due to a tiebreaker on the last day of the season both times, one season of which Brady was out the entire year and they still finished 10-6, 13 AFCCG's, 9 Super Bowls, 6 wins, no one will ever come close to that again in the NFL, you can't stay on top forever, they stunk for a year after Brady left, made the playoffs the following year, missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker the last day of the season the following year, then stunk for two years, but in that time, they got THE guy at QB along with several very good players.

And you're right; other than the Bills in Buffalo and the Bucs in Tampa, they haven't beaten anyone.

Holy smokes.

I still can’t believe Jamar Chase appealed his suspension for spitting in Jalen Ramsey’s face.

Years ago in Formula 1 racing you could appeal fines and grid spot loses for any infractions that a driver was accused of.

The one caveat was that the tribunal deciding the appeal could not just decrease a punishment but they could increase your punishment if you wasted their time by appealing something where the driver was obviously guilty.

The NFL needs to star doing that.

I find this incident thoroughly disgusting. I think Ramsey reacted like any normal human being would and getting thrown out of the game should be enough. Chase deservers far worse, not only fined, but should be suspended for multiple games, how else can you combat behavior like that?
