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

Chiefs are still very good. Their last six games get drastically easier, their schedule has not been soft to this point.

10-0 in 1-score games last year. 0-5 this year.

Variance be like that.

Lions r bad

Need some equivalent of Riverboat Ron nickname for Campbell.

Lions ran bad on 4th down but a couple of the plays were executed pretty badly too.

Degen Dan on nights like last night

Degen Dan is very good.

DVOA playoff odds are fun this year.

Chicago a dog to make it at 7-3.
Tampa an overwhelming favourite to win NFCS, but Panthers are worth a bet. The two late games vs. Bucs will decide division.
Three NFCW teams going to make it. Those preseason predictions were bang on.
Ravens up to 65% but constantly gaining ground. Steelers a dog to make it.
Chiefs two games back of Chargers but still more likely to make it than them.

It's gonna be

DEGEN

Michael Penix knee injury is potentially season-ending.

Because when you have a college prospect who had FOUR season-ending injuries in college, you GOTTA take that guy 8th overall.

Hey remember after about week 4 when people were on the Packers to absolutely walk the NFC.

Well at least you can now for sure fire Raheem because he SUCKS. Absolutely the most disappointing team in the league considering the talent vs expectations.

but have you seen how pretty his deep ball is? and lefties are just so fun to watch

I like Degen Dan, but I'm going to hold Doomsday Dan in abeyance until the proper moment.

Stafford has thrown 273 straight passes without an interception and has tossed only two picks to 27 touchdown passes.

Darnold took nine sacks against the Rams in the playoffs last season. Those were not all his fault, of course, but they fed the narrative surrounding his big-game readiness. Darnold took no sacks Sunday, but this was his third career game with exactly zero touchdown passes and four picks, more than anyone else since 2000 (there have been 56 such games total).

The Rams jumped one spot to third in defensive EPA per play after collecting more EPA off turnovers (21.9) in this game than any McVay-era defense since the final game of the 2018 season, a span of 122 total games.

The 2013 Denver Broncos, 2000 St. Louis Rams and these current Seahawks are the only teams since 2000 to have a point differential of at least 100 and a negative turnover differential through the first 10 games of a season. It’s a tough combination to pull off.

Tough times ahead for BUF

For the season, Denver owns a plus-2 point differential across the first three quarters. That ranks 17th in the league. The Broncos are plus-63 in fourth quarters, which leads the league.

This was the 187th time a quarterback attempted at least 16 passes in his first career game since 1970, per Pro Football Reference. None completed fewer passes than Sanders completed.
