2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

I believe the Jaguars are the only team to beat Pittsburgh in Heinz Field both during the regular season, and in the playoffs in the same season and we did that twice now. My team is 5-1 all time vs. Big Ben! We all knew the Steelers were going to come at us since it's almost like a division game. They tried to beat us through the air but we made better plays especially on offense. Sure our secondary got exposed again but we expected that with when you play Pittsburgh. Jags gotta go back to work if we're going to knock off the dynasty!

I am pulling for a Bortles vs Keenum Superbowl. In an era of locking up franchise QBs to long term deals I love the idea of a Superbowl being made up of two bottom tier QBs on expiring contracts.

I wish they'd have one game Saturday night and the other Sunday night but I know that will never happen because TV ratings wouldn't be as good.

That came out of nowhere. It'll be interesting to see if they try and go after McDaniels since the Titans GM spent over a decade with the Patriots.

I’m just fine with Philly being underdogs all the way.
It’s worked out for 1/3 of the wins needed.

Vikings only had 3 losses this season, 2 of those on the road. Philly 4-0 as playoff home dogs, Dating all the way back to 1980 against Dallas. Lol!

Dude is a beast on the field, but really just needs to not talk so much off the field. He’s guaranteeing two more wins. Not just beating the best dynasty ever in NFL history, but winning after that as well. Now wasn’t this the same Jax team that felt “disrespected” for not having a chance against Pittsburgh by “pundits”?

Jalen, pot...kettle much?

Now I get it, he’s firing up the crowd after a huge win...but you can do that AND show a little diplomacy at the same time. No need to make predictions. Could be a rookie mistake, we shall see.

I'm rooting for this as well. It's nice to see some teams advance far with excellent defense, a strong running game and enough passing to keep the chains moving. The Jaguars kind of remind me of the Bill Parcells Giants teams that way.

Because giving Bill Belichick bulletin board material has been so successful in the past...

Titans fire coach = titans smarter than steelers.

The Steelers were looking ahead to the Patriots game, the one they play next season [emoji23]

Lol, exactly.

I’ve been saying it for years to my In-Laws, up in Pittsburgh, that Tomlin is not all he’s cracked up to be as a HC, IMO. He was given a Championship caliber team. Has always had a borderline HoF QB. Has, arguably, one of the best Front Offices in the league.
He acts more like a flippant player than he does a HC, and I think that trickles down to the players and sends the wrong message. How many times have we heard Tomlin apologize for something he said or did? This sums up Tomlin right here, for me:

While I am a biased Pats fan, the idea of a Jags-Vikings superbowl would be boring AF! Just one big defensive struggle, similar to the Jags-Buffalo game. Yuck!

At least Pats-Vikings would be infinitely more exciting. Even all the silly Pats haters have to agree with that.

[Batman1980]

This "silly" Pats hater wants any AFC team in the Super Bowl besides New England.

Not surprising to hear from non-Pats fans.

If it weren't for Bill Cowher, Tomin probably would've been fired long ago.

Philly is the biggest market left of the four teams, but it doesn’t matter who makes it. The game will be widely watched, like it is every year, and tv ratings aren’t an exact science.
All four teams have interesting stories, and have had great seasons. That’s why they are here.

[Batman1980]

Minnesota-Jacksonville would be great because both teams have been waiting for a Super Bowl since at least 1998. Philly wouldn't know what that's like...oh.
