2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[ctujackbauer]

The J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets have a legitimate shot at 0 - 16. The only teams they play that are currently below .500 are the Chargers and the Patriots twice.

If they can't beat Denver...

[imsounoriginal]

Jets will randomly put it all together and win a game, and it'll be against someone no one expects them to beat.

Or at the very least, the Patriots will be in the playoffs by Week 17 and the Jets can beat their bench.

Jets week!

Don't sweat it, he might be the best backup in the league, but that's all he is: a backup. He's not gonna win you championships, especially with that defense and banged-up OL.

I think Foles has already proven to be the best backup this season. (And maybe ever )

I also want Thursday football, dang Bills lol.

Heck yes. Especially this year. Injury and Covid are real. I know as a Dallas fan you’ve had the luxury of having a QB that has never missed a game....until now. Factor in Covid and anyone can be out at any time.

So the only Day 1 starters left on the entire Philly offense is Wentz and Kelce. Lol!
Sanders and Ertz expected to miss multiple weeks.
The good news is, the much needed salary dump should be easier at seasons end now that most of these guys are hurt or on IR.

A new football week, let’s see how many positive tests happen and how many games get moved. Just cancel this joke of a season already!

We're so terrible I actually agree, I just wonder what it would do for scheduling next year and draft order.

Wait what? Dallas fans have been purchasing Super Bowl tix since the virtual draft.
As I keep saying, year after year, the draft/free agency IS the Super Bowl for Dallas.
All that talent on offense and they get blown out by Arizona?? Philly is so banged up they are almost out of #2’s and #3’s. Basically fielding a practice squad on offense and fell a 2pt conversion shy of forcing OT against powerhouse Baltimore.

Traded Brady for Herbert, got sick of Brady's 18-20 PPG dragging down my scoring. I did have to sacrifice Waller but Hooper is averaging almost as many points, I think the QB scoring difference will make up for the 5-6 points I lose most weeks from Waller. Especially since Waller doesn't score TDS so he relies on catching a bunch of passes every week to buoy his fantasy value.

Yeah Dak was carrying the Cowboys quite a bit since 2016, the fans clamoring for Andy Dalton are going to be a lot quieter after this season.

[rickah88]

What’s worse is there’s a hollow division titles up for grabs. Which means teams will take the bait and spend more money to get it.
Please I hope Philly stays put. Sell, sell, sell!!!

Imagine the Eagles hosting a playoff game after finishing 6-10.

[Batman1980]

There could well be a 5-11 division winner in the NFC Least this year. If that's the case they should just excuse the entire division from the play-offs and promote the next team that would've made the wild card instead.

Well the year they won it all, they were 12-4 and home underdogs in all games for the first time in NFL history.
Yeah Vegas got it wrong that year!

But no, no meaningless division title this year. Tank for top 5!

[Batman1980]

All 4 teams will no doubt be picking in the top 12 this year in the draft. Still not sure why the G-Strings thought Jason Garrett would help their offense lol.

[Tony208]

This terrible season might make them pay Dak his asking price.

They screwed up so bad not locking him up after year 3.

Playoff teams cant be higher than 19.

We were 13-3. Lost to KC, Seattle, and a meaningless Week 17 game to Dallas.

But anyway, in the unlikely event that we get and stay healthy, we can take control of this division pretty quickly. But that's a BIG if.

EDIT: and I also largely agree that we should sell before the trade deadline and start thinking about next season. Any division title this year is utterly meaningless. Shed dead weight, get younger and healthier, and look toward future success instead of trying to salvage a pointless season.

Yeah for some reason it slipped my brain that the division winner will be picking at least 20th. Oh well, it's all trash anyway and I doubt whoever our 4 teams pick in the 1st round next year will do much to change that. I knw CeeDee Lamb would be good but not do much to help us win week in and week out. Couldn't understand why so many fans were happy to get him, guess they're follow the ball fans instead of watching the trenches.
