2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[Giant Machine]

Trade Payton to LA for picks, and maybe Gregg Williams.
Trade Dennis Allen to Cleveland for a turkey sandwich.
Hire a defense centric Head Coach.
Fire Mickey Loomis, and replace him with Peyton Manning.

I know he will, but Brady shouldn't win. He has played well, but if you project his numbers over 16 games, he's still not at Ryan's level this year. He'll win literally because he's Tom Brady and nothing else. His team was 3-1 with the 2nd and 3rd string guys. Where is Atlanta with Matt Schaub?

I would give it to Derek Carr, Khalil Mack, Matt Ryan, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott before I would give it to Tom Brady.

No direction in Chargerland...

[Chaotic]

I don't know how someone who was suspended for cheating can be eligible for MVP.

On the flip side Brady went 11-1, arguably adding 3-1 or 4-0 to that, had he not been suspended, besting Matt Ryan's 11-5 record. Either way a better win percentage.
This is why I'm never a big fan of awards, it's all opinion and political.

I have no idea who the voters are but I know past history is a factor and Matty Ice's past history will not help him. Brady has had a top 5 QB career and put together a remarkable age 39 season, so a lot of voters will dismiss the cheating suspension, especially since it was for

His team went 11-1, yes.

Matt Ryan was the only QB in the league with a touchdown pass in all 16 games. Brady didn't even do that in his 12.

In common games, Ryan had better numbers as well.

Switch the Falcons and Patriots Ds and see which has the better record.

Hey all the non-Patriots fans agree with you, Matt Ryan had one of the best seasons in NFL history and SHOULD win MVP but most likely won't.

If we're keeping track, this is what the open Head Coach jobs for 2017 looks like:

Chargers
Jags
Broncos
Rams
Bills

49ers and Saints may have potential vacancies as well. Think the Bengals or Jets have a vacancy?

I'm not saying Ryan won't win, just that there's a case for and against both...assuming it's a two horse race.

Marvin Lewis sounds safe, I could see Bowles getting jettisoned during the 2017 season even if he's safe for now.

Wonder who they'll pick, could well determine whether or not you beat the worst team in the play-offs or not.

[BizCat]

Cincinnati should have fired Lewis 6 years ago. No idea how he keeps his job.

Glad to see SD fire McCoy. Just wasn't getting it done.

I don't see the hype in Sean Payton, but whatever.

Brady didn't cheat..

And Stafford breaks Marino's record, now fastest QB to reach 30,000 passing yards.

Al Michaels just said "if you're going to be a coach or GM, Gillette Stadium is a good place to learn the Kraft". I say, "Well, 'course it is!"

I just read that McGloin is extremely doubtful for next weekend anyway with his shoulder injury. I actually liked the poise that Cook had. We'll see what happens.

Today was the first time in his career that Conner Cook was in uniform/pads. Now he's a playoff starter

[Tony208]

I hope Lions win so we get Packers Seahawks.

[Blu-Benny]

Rodgers isn't a top 3 qb in the NFL.

that drive right there is vintage Rodgers and why he's so good.

[West E]

Connor Cook vs Tom Savage. What a ratings bonanza that should be
