2025 NFL Season Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

Of course we're watching these two trash teams. It's making me feel like I need to place some currency on Ravens division title.

[Senator Clay Davis]

FlacGOAT remembering that you should throw it to Chase 15-20 times a game is why he's the FlacGOAT. Browning could never...

[Sylvanfan]

Throwing a bubble screen to a 300 pound tight end 6 yards behind the line of scrimmage seems like a very Arthur Smith thing to do.

[Senator Clay Davis]

No way did FlacGOAT just do a read option keep lol.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Tee Higgins showing better clock management than most coaches. Steelers secondary absolutely abused tonight.

[chummer]

Rogers threw that ball 70 yards, wow.

[Mathgod]

Between Scherzer, Rodgers, and Flacco, tonight was a reminder that quadragenarians can still kick ass in professional sports.

[Erick Estrada]

That was one of the better Thursday night games. Felt like we were back in time to 2013 when Flacco and Rodgers dueled it out in a game decided by two points. I have to also add in that Rodgers last second hail mary throw was very impressive for a 41 year old QB. That would have been a solid punt.

just watched the game. Can't even say I'm surprised, that had all the ingredients for a Tomlin trap game. TNF on the road? Check (Tomlins record is 2-9 now, 0-7 in the division). Opponent in trouble? Check (Burrow injured, Hendrickson out, Brown averages 2.7 yards per carry). You're coming into the game as favourites and have a chance to REALLY pull away in the division ... of course they #### it up.

Tomlin knew he was in trouble when the Bengals traded for Flacco, he's seen this movie too often. Flacco cooked him last season when he was with the Colts too. He's not a rookie like Gabriel, he'll have no problem picking apart that soft zone BS that the Steelers love so much. Pass rush a non-factor too when you can just feast on those slants to Chase. Steelers D had no gameplan, there were no adjustments, just sloppy play and penalties. Not taking away from the piss poor individual performances on defense, because there were plenty. Heck, they looked atrocious in all three zones. But coaching and gameplanning didn't help.

Offensively it was fine. I can't stand Rodgers, but he's playing decent football. TEs are efficient, Warren is really good. But they just got no help from the D yesterday. Have to hand it to the Bengals too, they came prepared and did a decent job. Maybe Flacco can actually keep them afloat until Burrow comes back.

PS: oh, and can we talk about the decision from Tomlin to punt at 4th and 4 with 5 minutes to go and 6 points down? Cowardly.

[FireGilbert]

Every AFC division leader is a surprise.

The NFC is less surprising but funny the Niners are the only team in the west with a negative point differential but are in first.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well that was a fun week of "Are the Jags for real?" after the Chiefs choked against them. Now back to the regularly scheduled "When do they move on from Trevor?" conversations.

[Sylvanfan]

I just realized that the last 4 QB's who were picked 1st overall played on teams who fired their coach during the season. That's pretty incredible.

[Sylvanfan]

Apparently Kevin O'Connell can't fix Carson Wentz...arm punt on 2nd down there.

[ResAlien]

Chiefs with the easy get right game, they're never as bad as one may think they are

[Finger Cookin]

Hard to believe the Raiders and the Chiefs are in the same league.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Honestly if I was Pete Carroll I'd be talking to Andy about kneeling this game out, Raiders clearly don't want to play.

[browna]

I think Carroll knew a little bit about what he was getting into. Don’t think Geno did.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Probably the worst window of the year, one semi-competitve game and absolutely slop otherwise.

[Sainters7]

Flipping off your team's game in disgust after a frustrating play, only for RedZone to immediately show it to you again: always a treat.

[Cheese]

Pats wreck the Titans. Maye looking strong. Still can't believe we lost to the Raiders.
