2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[Blu-Benny]

Holy crap is skip bayless a moron!!! Was watching whatever was on @ 9:30 this morning and they were talking about the Packers.

“give them a score on 1-10 for what they’ve done so far this season” was the question.

9/10
10/10

Were the scores from the 1st 2….they get to skip….5/10.

“who have they beaten” was his argument.

The response…. “everyone”

Talk about a huge tebow fan…..tebow would’ve been the difference in that game he says.

Too bad tebow can only win when the team is within 3 points…..not 24!!!

I'd give them a 7/10. Not to knock them, but they really have had a soft schedule. 5 of the teams they have played are ABOVE .500 (including the new Tebow revolution). And their road wins have not looked so good, San Diego by 7, MIN by 6, and CAR by 7.

The offense is on top of the NFL with NO, but the defense does let a lot of points through. And I still think NO would take them in the Superdome. 4 of the next 5 games are against better teams in Oak, Det, NYG, Chi (without Cutler so idk) so we'll see how well they hold up.

Bayless made the same argument about the schedule…..teams can’t control who they are set to play….they’ve gone out and beaten every team put on the field w/them.

How they do it shouldn’t matter, the final score is all that matters.

It’s like Bayless has as big of a

[Show spoiler]hard on

for tebow as Meryl Hodge has for hating him.

I’ve said all season, I would prefer the packers lose somewhere along the line before the playoffs just to give them a reality check that they aren’t invincible.

And he was asking where are the “premier” teams they’ve played?? Well, they beat the Steelers in the super bowl, they beat atl earlier in the season.

And as far as the patriots being a better team, they got beat by the bills!!!

Bottom line is any team can win any week regardless of how “good” a team is. For the packers to still be undefeated is a great accomplishment.

Don't gloss over him throwing for more yards then Elway did in the same time frame.

Granted I've seen his throwing motion and it MUST improve, but there have been tons of dropped balls not on him.

Instead of doing interviews about personal issues he should be working working working on throwing.

But they would meet in green bay in the championship game.

Hey now, at the time Buffalo was an excellent team. That was until the injury bug bend us over and raped us. We currently have 14 players on IR.

They should....the vikes are out + the texans are a non conference team.

Hes just riding out the season with them anyways so let him go to where it would be fun to see what happens.

He will bomb but it would be fun to see.

Its happening - he is getting released.

Now the waiver wire.

[fatediesel]

McNabb has been terrible the last couple years but I'd still consider him an upgrade over Calelb Hanie and TJ Yates. I definitely think the Bears and Texans should make claims.

[MaCruz]

Last I heard was the Jaguars need to sell 7,000 more tickets to lift the blackout on MNF against the Chargers.

I think it goes without being said that you guys have a lot more depth than us. And having a gunslinger like Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback doesn't hurt either.

Every QB has dropped balls. That doesn't help his case at all. Eliminate dropped balls and Tebow is STILL near dead-last on %, because the entire league moves up with him.

Part of the reason those guys stepped in were able to contribute was due to coaching…..not necessarily talent.

Charlie Peprah is nowhere near the safety Nick Collins is or what Morgan Burnett is developing into.

Same thing w/Sam Shields…..he was a CB his last year of college only.

And yes, Rodgers is the man.

I think McFadden might get Wally Pipped...

[fatediesel]

The Bills did not sellout their game Sunday against the Titans so the game will be blacked out in the Buffalo area.

Well we know Felix Jones got Wally Pipped, McFadden was the 5th pick in the 2008 draft though. At most I see that offense going to a time share and Michael Bush becoming a non-factor.

[Blu-Benny]

can someone explain something to me....what's the purpose of blacking out a game in the local area??

The intent is to piss off the locals enough so they'll buy tickets to go to the game the next week. I don't blame Bills fans for not going though, they're probably the 3rd best NY team right now with all those injuries.
