2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[West E]

If this is it then it was still a good ending. Busted up lip and fighting back from 27-3.
Wasn’t his prettiest game but so what. Still made a game out of it.
I’ll miss watching Brady whenever he’s officially done. Dude knew how to put the work in.

Not sure I follow. I mean, the sports media is just speculating in this instance.

I don't even think Brady knows...not definitively.

At any rate, we'll know pretty soon, as the Bucs have to know how to move forward soon, with or without Tom.

CBS 2 - Rams Limit Ticket Sales For NFC Title Game To SoCal Residents Only

There are a lot of 49'ers fans in the area.

Ticketmaster removed the restrictions.

49ers are going to be the first 6th seed to host a playoff game.

I think brady retires.
On vsin i only caught the end of what the host was saying but the jist of it was brady always had outside business deals.
There is 1 deal though that he had told the person he works with that hes only getting really involved in it when he retires.
Supposedly he told that person to start looking into it.
Why would he say that now when he hasnt all the other off seasons before ?

The rumor is Daboll is the hire for the NYG and he's brining Dorsey in as OC with Wink Martindale as DC.

I was hoping Dorsey would be the OC for Detroit. Shucks if true

Daboll to NYG is essentially a done deal, but Dorsey is the guy Allen is really pushing to be our next OC. He has earned the right to be involved in decision making at this point.

Technically the 49ers offense scored 0 points last week lol.

Sean Payton leaving New Orleans.

Chicago hiring Ryan Poles as their next GM.

Chiefs get two third round compensatory picks (1 this year and 1 next) for Ryan leaving.

Would also add to strategy.
Maybe a team kicks 1st so they know what the other team did & what they have to at least match.
If the 1st teams scores a TD then the other scores a TD do they then go for 2 & the win ?

Id say go modified college rules

Each team starts on the 20 must go for 2pt, then next OT move it back 10 yards, so on and so forth, eventually by the 3rd or 4th OT they are all going from the 50 or further.

Good riddance. Bountygate Saints were on a mission to take out the Bucs after what happened to Jameis.

Congrats to the Bills and Chiefs for kicking some ratings booty Sunday Night. by the 4th Q/OT, it was a 52 million viewers Nationally.

In KC, by the 4th quarter, 90 share of TV's were on the Chiefs/Bills game. Second place with 2 share was PBS (Dang Grandma wasn't watching the Chiefs game??).

The game had the highest rating since this past Super Bowl.

Sean Payton didn't want to deal with that rebuild that was happening in New Orleans.

He will unretire for a better job.

The 10% of TV viewers in Kansas City who weren't watching the game were watching Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. (and I oop, I misread the PBS in second place part. I bet they all lied to Nielsen Ratings.)

I could easily see them passing on potentially hiring Dan Quinn for a shot at Payton after he takes a year off. It was a known thing in league circles.
