2024 NFL Season Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

Just to come back on the "beat teams with winning records" thing, just looked at the Chiefs last year and they only had three wins over teams with winning records. Overall were below .500 against teams with a winning record (3-4). Obviously didn't mean jack#### since they won it all. So it's kind of interesting, but as history shows not all that important, piece of information. A far more valuable piece would be something like the Rams being in the playoffs with a negative scoring differential. That's usually a bad sign.

Man, you are NOT a Boliever.

I will probably spend much of the game being pissed at Elway for drafting Chubb instead of Josh Allen rather than lamenting the bust potential of Nix!

How about Mims though! That's a guy you should be able to get behind as a Denver fan!

Good times.

I mean when you have teenagers involved in running your team like the Jets do, you kind of have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for coaches. Although they could probably get Ben Johnson if they offered like 6 years $1 billion.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Rex thinks he will land the job, and he is going after Rodgers already.

Hasn't been hired yet and is already causing a issues.

[KelVarnsen]

What is Rex's Madden rating?

The thing is that the Bills really were not tested all that much this year. They beat K.C. handily and outran Lions team who was at peak injury. But the Ravens whooped them pretty good and the Rams managed to catch them in a flat spot, Houston took them out when they were pretty best upand that's their resume against playoff teams.

If Denver can stop the run they could keep it close. I can't see them winning the game. But I think they can stay within 1 score, and get some fumble luck and who knows. It's not like luck smiles down on the Bills come playoff time.

Sanchise part deux!

[devo22]

I mean, they are also interviewing sensible choices like Mike Vrabel, Bobby Slowik and Brian Flores. Not that I think these would touch the Jets with a ten ft pole, but interviewing them will make hiring Rex all the more hilarious.

[Sylvanfan]

Vrabel spurning the Patriots for the Jets would be like the Bellichick double jinx.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well this cycle is gonna be interesting simply because there are fewer openings than we probably expected. Colts, Giants, Raiders, Bengals, Dolphins seemed like anywhere from possible to likely openings, and none of them are. Only the Raiders from that list could open up as the others have already shown commitment to sticking with their coach.

Oh no I'm a Bo guy, I simply enjoy leaning into the silliness. But he can't throw against man right now that's his biggest hurdle to overcome.

I was never as enamoured with white cam newton as many were and will forever be a bonafide hater of his. Mims finally figuring out a way to get on the field is fantastic. I don’t trust a VJ defence to be anything but smoke and mirrors but maybe they can cause problems for Buffalo. I'd love to see it. Give Denver a few years to replace every skill player on offence and they could really have something to build on.

Word was that Vrabel used the Jets to force the Patriots to make a move.

Texans fire GM Carthon,Callahan to remain coach


Weird, youd expect a new GM to bring his own people in.

Literally anything can happen in single game elimination playoffs, I don't take any win for granted.

if the Cowboys have fired McCarthy but haven't announced it yet, then they're just putting themselves behind. They'll end up hiring Doug Pederson

[KelVarnsen]

How do you fire someone that doesn't have a contract for next year?

or they haven't announced that they're not bringing him back therefore they're not interviewing anyone yet

[Sylvanfan]

The fact that Dallas has told McCarthy that he can interview for other jobs seems to indicate that they don't intend to bring him back.
