2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[walruswarrior]

Trips out west are tough. Ask Bucs fans lol. But yeah they should beat Baltimore next week. If not, then it's time to contemplate making a change. Not in season but during the offseason. That offense was atrocious yesterday. Luckily I broke even in DK this week, but Bortles screwed me in a couple of lineups

you guys have plenty of time to crumble under the pressure.

we'll see what the deal is w/Peterson's knee. and that offensive line was pretty bad last night!! even the Packers weak ass front 4 were able to get pressure!!!

[Tony208]

Bradford trade looked pretty good yesterday.

If Bridgewater doesn't come back the same player then the Vikings didn't give up that much for their new franchise QB.

Disagree. As much as I love Tom and think he's the best of all time, I think Jimmy is the future. Tom can still ball but he won't be around too much longer.

Mariota was awful for three quarters. The Lions outplayed is and we stole this one. We're very rarely able to steal games. I'll take it.

Really an awful game to watch for the most part because of penalties though. Luckily most were on the Lions.

Same old Lions. Things will never change.

It's unique, for sure. I would jump in once though.

From what I understand Zimmer wanted to come here and thought we were going to hire him... then outta nowhere we hire Whiz.

Zimmer was always my #1 choice. We wouldn't have Mariota without Whiz being here and sucking so bad to get us that high of a pick though.

I always thought Zimmer should have been a HC long before he finally became one.

It seemed that TJ Yeldon got the ball a little too much and could barely make any plays.

Makes me wonder if Gus Bradley's job is in serious jeopardy if the team goes 0-3. This is his last year on his contract and our owner expects a winning record this season and I don't even know if that means 9-7 and missing the postseason.

I agree with you. He should definitely be on the hot seat.

I still remember when scouts and such were saying Matt Stafford would be the next Troy Aikman, wonder how that turned out. Carson Palmer was much closer.

Thought the exact same thing yesterday. Been a problem for years and yet the league does NOTHING about it. The Karft/Baddell bromance lives on.

All of a sudden they look beatable and we play them in NJ later on this season.

Have you seen it at the beginning of the season when there's chicks in bikinis in it?! Not so stupid to me.

Headset problems happen everywhere, people just notice when it happens in New England. From the linked CBS Sports article from last year:

"It’s a league problem. It’s wherever," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said, via PFT. "It will go out right in the middle and not just here or in New England or in San Francisco, but it could go out in a critical time."

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett: "That’s certainly been a part of having to deal with game-day situations, throughout my career as a player and a coach."

Speaking of the Cowboys, here's Texans coach Bill O'Brien: "It happened in Dallas, it happens here, it happens wherever I’ve been."

Eagles coach Chip Kelly: "I’ve heard a lot of things on the headsets, I think there’s a lot of frequency issues some places. I’ve heard air traffic control and a lot of different things."

First-year Jets coach Todd Bowles: "It’s happened a bunch of other places. There have been times when the headsets have gone out, it wasn’t New England, I can’t remember the places we’ve had it, but we’ve had some of those headset problems."

I watched him all throughout his college career at UGA. He was a bum then and he's a bum now. Big arm (which is what the scouts fell in love with), but just doesn't have it upstairs to be a winning NFL QB...bad decision after bad decision.

He wishes he could hold Troy's jock strap.

To be fair, it was happening long before last year. It's just that the NFL caught wind of it, so the Pats* had to change their "strategy."

Yeah you know that strategy where they win all the time. Even if it's a back up or the back up to the back up.

[rickah88]

I'm so happy to be 1-1 in both fantasy leagues despite having Gurley in one, and AP in the other!
Well, if Philly D/ST puts on a clinic tonight I can be 2-0 in one league, but I'm not holding out hope.
The only highlight yesterday was for some reason a bunch of people picked Seattle in my survivor pool! Getting closer to that 5grand prize.

Wow! Redskins Radio is in full force with the pitchforks and torches! LOL! Run Cousins out of town they say!

Typical Pats* fan arrogance.

Not sure how old you are, but there was a time LONG before Brady (I know, it's tough to imagine a time before Lord Brady) when they were the perennial doormat of the AFCE. Mo Lewis and Jets changed the course of the franchise by knocking out Bledsoe and the rest is history.

[walruswarrior]

It's inevitable that they will see a decline. Just a matter of when.

I read this morning that out of the 170 coaches who have coached at least 50 games Bradley's 12-38 record is 169th in terms of win percentage. The only coach who had a worse winning percentage was the Eagles coach in the 1930s who was also the team's owner.

He's giving Fisher a run for his money.

[Tony208]

Didn't even realize Andre Johnson was a Titan(or that he was still playing). Maybe he will end his career with the Jags to complete the AFC South quartet.

Browns officially name Kessler starting QB for Week 3. Three QB's within 3 weeks, that is.....

Bradley is on the hot seat big time, I know Rivers always seems to have our number, but that game was unacceptable. When he got here we had maybe the least talented roster in NFL history, now four years later we have young talent at almost every position and we still go out there and lay an egg like that. It all falls back to coaching and I am not sure Bradley has it to be a great head coach. We didn't adjust, our game plan was terrible, and the team did not have a fire lit under them at all.
