2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

Sadly, there is an opening. A family member died recently, so we're keeping his team active until the end of this season. It's a 16 team league.

Not really worried. Sure, the winner will be tops in the division, but Philly wasn't really expected to do much this season.
We have already beaten two of the top teams in the league, as far as I'm concerned anything they do above/beyond is house money.

It's a 16 team league and you have Brees and Wilson?

Aldon Smith has applied for reinstatement from the NFL. If approved he could be back by Week 10 I believe.

Sadly we could really use him back. He was starting to play well before the suspension happened last year. Our defense needs all the help it can get. Let's hope he stays off of periscope (and weed).

Ugh, I have no idea who to pick in this game tonight. Leaning towards JAX with Bradley on the hot seat in basically a must-win division game.

It's a toss up to me too, but Titans have the better quarterback.

Jaguars are 1-0 when Shad Khan has a pep talk with the team. He did so in London before we played the Colts when Gus was on the hot seat at 0-3.

This past Monday, Khan again shows up in the team locker room and told everyone about why we're not winning. I'm looking for that streak to continue tonight. I think we need Khan every week to fire this team up

EDIT: Titansfan4Life..... avatar bet?

[rickah88]

I'm going with the titans, but my Thursday night predictions have been pretty dismal this season.

[fatediesel]

When two crappy teams play on Thursday I take the home team, so I guess I'm going with the Titans.

Haha sure why the hell not... you're on.

Biggest concerns for us tonight have to be how our secondary stacks up against your WRs and vice versa.

I expect A-Rob to finally explode tonight. If Antwon Blake (#47) is ever covering Robinson, Bortles should throw his way every single time. Or Brice McCain (#23) for that matter. In reality our entire secondary is awful. I remember A-Rob went for like 150 and 3 TDs last time he faced us... and our secondary is essentially the exact same group.

On the flip side, our receivers are also awful and the Jags have a good secondary, so that's an issue. I think where we are favored is our OL and front 7.

If we can't get the run game going we will lose. Would be nice to see more of Henry tonight. Need more designed plays to utilize Mariota's strengths. Roll him out more. PA bootlegs, etc. Our play calling has been extremely inconsistent.

Good news is even though these are two crappy teams, I think it'll be a decent game unlike most TNF games. I hope. I'll be there as always... 3-17 at home over the last three seasons (with wins only against the Jags and Browns), so I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm sure you guys will see these stats on TV tonight, but Mariota has the best career passer rating in the redzone of any QB in the league. It's a small sample size, but 24 TDs to 0 INTs in the redzone gives me hope.

I'd be very happy if Delanie Walker posts a huge game tonight.

Looks like your team will get an easy win. No way my team comes back. They were never built to come from behind.

Same guys making dumb penalties in Folwer Jr and Ramsey. Offense can't move the ball. This is the stuff that's been going on with this team for years. I feel that this offense this season reverted back to the offense 3-4 years ago. Just terrible and it's embarrassing that it's on national tv. I might have to call it a night because I feel that the team will just get worse as the night progresses.

Jags were a good offense last year but I guess it was smoke and mirrors garbage time stats

Yes it was. I'd say half of their games last year their stats skewed during garbage time. More games were closer though but this years offense is one of the worst offenses I've seen in the NFL.

It's time for a change and I hate to say it so soon once again.

[Tony208]

Only halftime and Titans outgained Jags by almost 300 yards

Gus Bradley could get fired before the game is over

[Batman1980]

These SNF waits are the worst, almost as bad as the new SNF intro!
