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

I always have a good laugh at the ufc guys who god helps to beat the ever loving **** out of some other godly man. God really digs a good hammer fist to the face x5. And cauliflower ears. God loves cauliflower ears.

Hopefully someday soon we start to see more and more guys blame god for their losses. Really lean into how, if only they'd prayed harder or if god had just blessed them a little bit more, they might've been able to make that catch or whatever.

It’s an incredible scheme. Thank him for the wins….he’a testing me/it’s all part of his plan, I have to trust him when we lose

I mean, I'm not sure what you are watching if you don't have 32. Titans. They are by far the worst team in the league. Should easily be the only winless team. Their point differential is 39 points worse than the Saints. Their DVOA is worst in the league. I feel like they are only slightly above 0-16 Browns bad.

Also Raiders make a case for being 31. That one doesn't bear out as much, but they have the 3rd worst point differential and played one fewer game than the Saints and Jets and are 30th DVOA.

I'd probably have

28. Dolphins
29. Jets
30. Saints
31. Raiders
32. Titans

fwiw

You're right. I have not been watching the Titans.

Philly averaged 4.3 points per drive on Sunday, fifth-best in the franchise's 447 games since 2000, per TruMedia.

- - - - -

Hurts goes into the bye coming off one of the most productive two-game stretches of his career: 34-of-43 passing (79 percent) for 505 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions. His EPA per pass play has reached at least 0.35 in consecutive starts for the third time in his career, counting the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl last season.

Caleb Williams is facing an average third-down distance of 8.7 yards -- second longest in the league.

- - - - -

On plays with an NFL Next Gen Stats pre-snap pass probability of 75% or higher -- plays in which the defense is expecting pass, and dialing up blitzes and coverage rotations and other shenanigans -- Maye is first in EPA per dropback, second in success rate and second in passer rating.

- - - - -

The Colts are a historic offense -- 3.46 points per drive would be the best number this century.

- - - - -

The Dolphins had 13 jumbo plays against the Falcons, the most in a single game in the Mike McDaniel era. The previous high? Zero.

- - - - -

Sunday was the second-best performance by EPA per snap on offense the Eagles have had since Sirianni took over, trailing only the win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game last season.

sure didn't look that way before the season started did it
oh my how far the bills have fallen

this

How in the world would Cleveland ever be considered the worst team? Cleveland would win by a touchdown against Tennessee. Have actually a competent defense and Judkins would run all over them. Lol ESPN.

Maybe if he didn't hold the ball so long and take 15 yard sacks on earlier downs it wouldn't be such a problem.

Excellent notes on the rest as per usual.

Truly impressive work from Omar.

And one from last week.

that record ain't getting to 9-8 all by itself!

They're right on track to lose the division to a 10-7 Ravens team.
