Re: NFL 2026
The Ravens-Jags game was excruciating. The crowd knows the season has been flushed down the toilet. I've never seen such a hostile crowd in Baltimore before. After witnessing how they played last night, this team wasn't going anywhere WITH Lamar.
The Cardinals trade Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens. He'll play next week. It's not going to change anything.
Crazy how Shedeur Sanders could be their starter right now. Ravens wanted to draft him in the 5th round last year but he refused because he didn't want to be a backup to Lamar.
Their schedule is bonkers. Last four games....
Steelers
Browns
Bengals
Steelers
A divisional gauntlet. They'll be lucky to go 1-3 in the final stretch.
It's over.
Carson Wentz will start this week for the Vikings. Now this could get interesting IF the Vikings beat the Bills. They might move on from Kyler....they need to. That offense is dead in the water.
Joe Milton will start for the Eagles. Not sure how much it's going to help at this point. That team is a dumpster fire at the moment.
Sheuder Sanders will start for the Browns this week due to Watson having a concussion.
Drew Locke will start for the Seahawks...Darnold got banged up in the Bears game. There's speculation by the media about this being a "soft benching". I disagree...but I never would've brought Darnold back in after his injury week 1 since they were winning with Locke.
HUGE games this week...
Vikings vs Bills
Vikings gotta get their shit together now. They're entering a 3 game gauntlet where things could fall apart quickly if this turns into a losing streak.
Bills
Packers
49ers
All playoff teams
Packers vs Patriots
Both teams need wins to stay in their division hunt...Packers can't afford many losses from here on out.
Bears vs Bucs
Bucs are coming back from the brink...and the Bears have put the league on notice but must continue the rise.
Cardinals vs Seahawks
This is huge because a loss by the Seahawks and a loss by the Rams places the 49ers in the driver's seat for the division at the halfway point.
Cardinals are going to spoil at least one teams playoff dreams this season....Rams or Seahawks...maybe both.
Either way , I refuse to take the Broncos seriously.
Same here...but unfortunately they're probably getting the #1 seed again unless something catastrophic occurs. That schedule is too easy down the stretch.
As we've talked about before, they're reminiscent of the 98 Falcons...a cupcake schedule, they beat a couple great teams in close games, and then they're right there at the top come playoff time.
They're also barely good enough to upset someone in the AFC championship even without the #1 seed.
It's a wacky team. I like listening to Shannon Sharpe rant about them.
Re: NFL 2026
The rumors were true....
Colts are willing to trade Jonathan Taylor but they want a #1 or two #2s for him.
That's why no one has grabbed him....YET...but apparently the Vikings and Giants are genuinely interested.
Imagine the Giants if they grab him...
Taylor
Skattebo
Singletary
Might be the most stacked RB depth chart since late 90s Broncos...
Re: NFL 2026
We're now at the midway point of the season.
If the playoffs started today....
The matchups...
That's an incredible bracket...best in years.
A few noticeable absent teams...
Rams
Ravens
Seahawks
Eagles
I think the Bears need the #2 (or #1) :seed for a real Super Bowl run. Statistics back this up...
Bears haven't been to a Superbowl without having the #1 seed.
Re: NFL 2026
Say it every week...Chargers a complete dumpster fire. Top to bottom. Instead of a handful of interceptions, Herbie was sacked 8 times. He apparently fractured a finger so we may be seeing his backup soon. Would be funny if his backup went on a run.
JJ McCarthy was injured in their win against the Eagles. Hopefully he'll be ok.
Cowboys win a close one...keeping them barely alive in the division.
Puka injured on the last play in the Rams -Redskins game. MRI tomorrow. If it's bad news...Rams are fucked.
Bengals manhandled the Falcons. I always forget about the 6 am game overseas. I looked at the Bengals schedule...holy shit...a cake walk. Toughest opponent is Pittsburgh. They're definitely in contention for the #1 seed.
Packers completely trounce the Pats...Maye looked like Testaverde in his rookie season.
49ers whip the Raiders.
Chiefs scalp the Jets.
Bears are way too fucking reckless on offense. They need to settle things down because this kind of shit is what leads elite teams to wild card round exits from the playoffs.
Caleb threw 4 INTs. Inexcusable. Stop going for the big play all the time. He really is reminiscent of Favre.
Can't wait for the game tonight. We're about to find out if the Vikings are for real.
Re: NFL 2026
Fucking arms race right now. Jax might be the fav in the AFC right now . Picked up the Eagles DT and a freaking ball hawk S in Bates. As of now, they are a better balanced team than BUF.
Chargers play the Dolphins later on, epic toilet bowl matchup.
Pats ended up getting g totally destroyed. I laughed. They will get in but can’t see them advancing far. Against top 10 defenses,Mayre had a really bad record. Don’t sleep on GB. They won’t end up with the 7th seed . Don’t know if they have enough to win the division, but they will move up at the end of the year. Sidenote: Vrabel and LaFleur fucking HATE each other . It all stems from that one year that LaFleur served as Titans OC. They didn’t get along . So they try to run up the score whenever they face one another (happened in 2022, when TEN destroyed GB).
I really wish the Bengals defense was better . They look like one of those run and gun teams that get beat in Jan by a better defensive teams
Chiefs are replacing Butker with Justin Tucker . They were winning games by like FG the last few years. It kind of highlights why he got benched. Still dangerous with Mahomes and Reid but if you have a bad PK the entire house falls apart
I was going to say the Rams could sneak into the 7th spot but too many injuries . Basically between Det/MIN /Seattle. But even Seattle has injury issues at QB. I think every team gets in the NFC north assuming none of them go on a long ass losing streak.
WSH really should be competing with the Giants for the division but Daniels is a freaking moron in regards to game situation management . He always does this and it’s not even a Dan Quinn issue . They have the ball on the Rams 30 yard line . 8 or 9 sec left . He throws a pass to the middle of the field at the 10 yard line . It luckily gets dropped . The last play is some lateral bs play (don’t blame him on that one)
Cowboys barely beat the Colts who weren’t really interested because of the many trade rumors . That defense is still god awful. I laughed when they allowed some freaking WR screen to be a TD because of shoddy tackling .
The NFC south . Carolina looks like the best team . I wouldn’t say they are a one and done though . Det can be really awful on defense.
The NFC seems deeper as a conference to me. At least the top teams. CHI, SF, GB seem more balanced and a cut above the rest.
I could see some (more ) WC upsets on the AFC side . Denver, PIT/CINnseem like they could be upset.
Jax and Buffalo seem a cut above
Re: NFL 2026
The Vikings are in DEEP shit. Carson Wentz was pure trash. Had a QBR of 8.9. My great grandma blindfolded could probably get to an even 10 rating. He should be cut or retire out of shame.
KOC needs to be fired. Wentz should've been benched at halftime while there was still a chance. I was shocked when he kept him in...they only pulled him out when it was already too late to make a comeback.
KOC is incompetent.
Next game against the Packers....then the 49ers.
Already a two game losing streak...will soon be four.
Just an unacceptable performance. The crowd was booing all night and started leaving with like 7-8 minutes left in the game. Even they knew there was no chance.
I don't think Cousins is going to have a big enough impact to turn things around. Are they better off with him instead of sticking with Carson or Kyler? Yes. Unfortunately, the cluster fuck the team is in overall is bigger than one guy coming in.
How about the lack of a run game? Maybe running might have helped out these crappy QBs...yet they simply don't bother with it.
There's a shit culture in the organization just like there used to be in Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland. It's really difficult to win when you're dealing with that. Go ask Barry Sanders...
Vikings fans want one person to have a major impact?
Fire KOC... immediate impact will be felt.
Then build from there.
Surprisingly few trades leading up to the deadline.
The Cousins trade getting the most attention but the Jags giving up a handful of future draft picks to add three guys to their defense is the big one. It caused their Super Bowl odds to immediately skyrocket.
Like the Bears...they don't care about the future...they want to win now and then let the chips fall where they may.
You can't blame either team. The current NFL is designed to win now. Parity along with the constant changes is what allows you to quickly put a monster team together.
Oh I forgot...The Colts traded two receivers to the Chiefs and 49ers.
Hard to believe no one took a stab at Pickens.
The fuck is Tyreek Hill doing....playing Tiddlywinks?
Out of the few teams vying for Jonathan Taylor...Giants, Vikings, Bengals....Giants got closer than anyone but pulled the offer at the last second.
Edit
We just found out why the Giants pulled their offer for Taylor. They tried to get Bijian Robinson from the Falcons.
Yeah.... Harbaugh wants to win now.
Re: NFL 2026
Two rookies finally being let loose on the league...
Mendoza with the Raiders and Beck with the Cardinals.
Who has the bigger impact?
Big games this week...
Giants vs Redskins
Big for the Giants anyways...gotta keep the momentum going. The division is easily theirs for the taking. Dallas has to pray for a Giants collapse to have a prayer.
It would be funny if this game was a tie again....
Patriots vs Lions
While unlikely...it's a possible Super Bowl matchup. Must win for both teams...Lions in the toughest division in the league and the Patriots gotta keep winning to stay in the running for the #6 and #7 playoff spots.
Chiefs vs Falcons
Falcons still in the division race even with the crap record. Chiefs need to stay close with the Broncos.
Texans vs Browns
HUGE for the Texans...they are 3-5 and close to knocking themselves out of playoff contention. Browns in a tough division although the Ravens collapse gives the rest of the division some breathing room.
Vikings vs Packers
This is the game of the week. This division will be a bloodbath and each division game is a must win. If the Vikings lose, they're on a 3 game losing streak. Packers are starting to look scary.
Panthers vs Saints
Huge for this division. Both are 3-5. The winner of this division will likely be 9-8...maybe 8-9.
Rams vs Cardinals
Must win for the Rams... already lost to the Cardinals once.
49ers vs Cowboys
Must win for the Cowboys if they want their playoff hopes to stay alive.
Steelers vs Bengals
Game of the week contender. Both 6-2 and fighting for 1st place in the division.
Re: NFL 2026
Brutal loss by the Giants today . Seemed like no one wanted to win that game in the fourth. wSH barely stays alive.
Those overseas games are always hard to figure out. I’ll say Lions but their defense is bad enough that I won’t be shocked if the Pats pull the upset.
I guess Chiefs . Although ATL is one of the least predictable teams out there.
I’d guess Texans. TBH, Browns are overachieving and Texans are the opposite. Texans also have IND after this.
Packers. Jordan Love and the deep passing parade continues.
Short week hurts MIN
I’d guess Panthers . They seem like they’re the best team in that bad division .
Rams are beat up but they can’t afford more losses. Also Garrett is back
Niners. Can’t trust DAL against a good team . SF also has to keep winning to maintain the 1 seed in the NFC.
CIN. Homefield advantage .
For the qb question, Mendoza. Arizona has a ton of injuries.
