2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

I still like Philly. I think they can compete for NFC rights.. maybe losing a close one in conference championship game

I just hope the Vikings don't make the Super Bowl. If the Patriots make the SB I'm going to go to the game and tickets will be insanely expensive if the Vikings are there. I think I'll be rooting for the Rams because right now they don't have much of a fan base so I think they'd be the cheapest ticket.

I'm sure Minnesota fans everywhere appreciate this sentiment.

Colts can show how to put that on a banner to hang in your stadium.

The Jags have played very well this year, Cruz. Hope they can continue to keep it going in the Playoffs.

I was gonna say... what are you gonna do if we go 3-0 against y'all in a season again?

This is the only scenario that would make this season worth it for us. This season, despite being 8-4 at one point, has been absolute torture from the start.

That said, the Titans have proven to be complete and total frauds over the last three games. All we needed was one win, and we couldn't get it done. Now we are in a win and in scenario. I have ZERO faith in this team. Which is sad because a month ago, I finally had faith we'd find a way to win games at the end.


I'm torn on what I want to happen. If we lose, I'm hoping that means we clean house and start focusing on hiring innovative offensivecoaches that can actually utilize Mariota's talent she. I am 100% a believer in Mariota. But we have wasted two years of his development by allowing Mularkey to install a stupid, predictable offense.

God what I would give to have Sean McVay.

I guess I'm at the point where I want Josh McDaniels... risky, sure. But no risk, no reward. Tired of this organization playing it safe. Loser mentality.

[BizCat]

Everyone should want some McDaniels.

[Batman1980]

Scott Linehan has to be one of the worst OCs in the NFL, I want him gone and I want someone new to come in who will craft an offense better suited to our players' strengths. Dak didn't forget how to play QB over night.

Celebrities in LA would suddenly become interested in football and grab all those tickets.

You'd think so but I can't get excited about the Rams either. Goff is hardly electrifying, they're pretty much Gurley and an above average defense. They may be the worst play-off team in the NFC after Philadelphia, I can't see them making it to the NFCCG, much less US Bank Stadium.

I doubt celebrities would be going for the actual game lol, they'd just be going for the event and halftime show and hype, etc.

But the Rams are legit, I wouldn't sleep on em. Their biggest weakness is their youth and inexperience.

Minnesota is better, New Orleans and Carolina are probably better, Atlanta might be better as well.

Better but beatable. Hell the Rams already beat New Orleans and played Minnesota tough til the fourth quarter. There isn't as much disparity among teams in the NFC as people seem to think.

Oh there isn't, I just don't trust Jared Goff to win a play-off game for them if Gurley gets slowed down. The disparity is in the AFC where it's Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and New England and then everyone else.

[Batman1980]

Should be a fun play-offs to watch this year, despite Dallas missing. I think the NFL has the best post-season in all of sports.

So basically just New England lol. Jags are another young team so I dunno what to expect from them in the playoffs, and I don't have much confidence in Pittsburgh (though I'd happily take them over the Pats if choosing which team I'd actually want to come out of the AFC).

Buddy of mine is convinced if the Ravens make the playoffs, they're the Pats' kryptonite. Not sure about that one.

Aren't the Ravens out? Not to mention their overpaid QB and that defense are not what they were 6 years ago.

Ravens are the 5 seed currently. The only way they miss the playoffs is if they lose to the Bengals, the Bills win against the Dolphins, and the Titans win against the Jags.
