2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

Going to be a tie game here in a minute, amazing when you consider how poorly the Bengals offense played against Indy earlier this season with AJ Green available.

No doubt injuries are playing a huge role, so far, in this year's playoffs!
I'm no fan of Newton, but seeing what a disaster that division was this season, and just a couple weeks ago the dude was flipping his car down the road...I'm sure Cam was thrilled to win the division, let alone a home playoff game.
Just wish the NFL would do Conference seedings for playoffs, not by Division.

Their OL is also very hurt. Every year is different and you can't go by oh well they beat them there in 2012. This pats team is much better and has a gronk unlike last time


Sucks about Scott

I hope you're right.I'm still going to be nervous about this one.

I figured we'd see 8-man fronts all day long. Colts D has me scratching my head.

Have you been reading the Detroit Lions' game plan for today's game in Arlington?

Well they normally stop the run with 6 and double it up outside with a high linebacker in the middle, with Fairley out I doubt the Lions will be able to stop the run with 6. Our offensive line will definitely win or lose this game for us. Really makes me wish Doug Free were healthy, he's a much better run blocker than Parnell but that's why I want an OT in the 3rd round of this draft to give us easily the best offensive line in football.

What is wrong with that RB...switch the ball the OUTSIDE hand!!

Murray doesn't keep it tight in the basket either, hope he doesn't fumble today, last thing we need to do is give the Lions' offense momentum and/or a short field.

I'd rather shift the focus to improving the d line, still too much uncertainty there.

He had the ball pretty well tucked, he just needed to put the ball on the sideline side to make strips like that one much harder to do...or if the ball does pop free it has a better chance of going out of bounds.
Well it looks like that fumble will lead to, at least, 3pts.

Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals!

And Nugent nails a carrer long 57yarder OFF the upright. Wow!

[Tony208]

6 pt swing

We'll see if he can handle Cole Beasley and Jason Witten.

Amazing play by Andrew Luck! 40yd TD pass, on the run...just incredible!
