2025 NFL Season Thread: Can Uncle Rico save the Broncos or will they be Nixed?

McCartney is so very good in the passing game. Good blocker, great hands, excellent at getting open

yeah i didnt ban him , in this case temp-ban him, so i cant undo it anyway no matter how ****ing dumb and entertaining giants broncos was

New Ass List just dropped!

well the Chiefs just beat the ****ing **** out of the NFL's version of Appalachian State. Probably safe to hammer and roll over winnings for their next 4 ML games.. they got their confidence back --> they're gonna go on a RUN!

and i apologize for the shitty quality but i love the clip and the movie

Is today the day Ruxin gets got?

Morning meetings already happened. But maybe they have to wait because no one can access **** right now. I just got home to sleep some. I just wasted 3 hours at work doing almost nothing. Going to be a long ass week now that AWS ****ed up. I did get to make DVDs for the first time since I was at UCF. So that was a blast from the past. Surprised they even found some in a closet somewhere.

Dolphins gonna run it back with no changes

No reason to fire McDaniel. Let them roll and continue to lose-better draft picks.

Weirdest part of that game was achane basically got caught full speed in the open field from behind.

Cam Ward on track to smash the Sack Yards Lost season record, currently held by Randall Cunningham. (Randall has 4 of the top 16 all time Sack Yards Lost seasons). Although remarkably, in the year he set the record, Randall only started 5 games and played in 10 others - he was sacked 72 times on 281 drop backs! That season...1986...the Eagles QBs were sacked a total of 104 times in 16 games. David Carr holds the single season record of 76.

idk though, I actually think Cam looks pretty decent and I reckon he could be a good QB if the Titans can put a good coaching infrastructure and better players around him

I mean....the Vikings were 5th in points allowed last year, (9th in points scored), so it's a little tough to suggest it was all Darnold

I thought Darnold was good too tbh and I'm happy for him that he's doing well in Seattle. Their decision to sign Sam and trade Geno looks ****ing incredible - they are paying Darnold less than Geno is getting at the Raiders AND they collected a 3rd rd pick while improving their QB play

2024 was a historic QB draft class

The Drake the early frontrunner for "the dude" of the class

This Doug Martin story is looking….bad

The Patriots and Kansas City are the only teams to rank among the NFL’s top 10 in EPA per play on both sides of the ball this season.

​Tagovailoa, who tossed three interceptions without a touchdown and fumbled three times in the rain-soaked loss to the Browns, is on pace for career worsts in yards per attempt (6.4), passer rating (82.1), sack rate (6.8 percent) and explosive pass rate (11.8 percent).

"Their time to get out of that deal was this year," the exec said in June. "That is what they should have done. They should have cut him before his guarantees vested." His EPA per pass play (minus-.02) is his worst since his rookie season. One of the NFL's worst teams is now pot-committed to a Tier 3 quarterback.

Over his last two games, Tagovailoa has thrown just one touchdown to go with six interceptions. He carries a $55 million salary cap hit next year that is fully guaranteed.

Jackson's development as a passer has raised expectations for Harbaugh to get back to the biggest stage. But the Ravens have only four playoff victories since their Super Bowl appearance, tied with Houston and Indianapolis for sixth-most in the AFC.

The loss to Green Bay made Arizona the third team in NFL history to lose five in a row within a season, none by more than four points, per Pro Football Reference. The 2017 49ers and 1984 Browns are also on that list.

Yesterday, LAC suffered their worst defensive EPA game of the Harbaugh era.

- - - - -

In Kansas City, the Chiefs rolled the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0 in the first regular-season shutout win of Andy Reid’s 27-year coaching career

- - - - -

The 232 points the Colts have scored through seven games are the third most in franchise history, more than the Peyton Manning teams ever put up and trailing only two led by the great Johnny Unitas.

Brad Holmes is gonna earn his money the next few years.

the Lions currently have $2.5m in cap space for 2026

Aiden Hutchison is gonna want close to Parsons money and the extension will go through soon
Jamyr Gibbs is gonna want to be the highest paid RB of all time
Brian Branch will be entering the last season of his deal in 26 at age 24
Sam LaPorta will be entering the last season of his deal at age 25
Jack Campbell will also be extension eligible and is playing very well.
Branch, LaPorta and Campbell can all reasonably be expected to be top 5 paid at their positions

Now obviously, they can 5YO Campbell and Gibbs and push $$ down the line with big signing bonuses and then option bonuses in yr 2 on the other ones, but doing that is still gonna make them super top heavy and really reliant on their drafts.

I'm guessing they might look to trade one or a couple of Branch, Campbell, LaPorta to pick up draft picks and take some pressure off the top of their roster
