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

^^^ LOL

Looks like he used a glove from his playing days, too, lmao.

Prob after the 1st quarter. He had 8 completions yesterday, yes on what 12 attempts? Something is wrong with him (physically and maybe mentally) but hes been really bad either way. Its baffling, as ive never seen an mvp be this bad. You might see a slump for a few games. This is beyond that though.

Gbebe I know youre a ravens fan and can give more insight on maybe why.

Am I in the twilight zone? Has he not been trash? It was a cumulative comment and that was just another reminder plus his 2 completions for 6 yards 1 pick in 3 drives. Hes probably been the worst qb since he returned from injury.

But anyway, where's my boy Mondig, chim, and seadood? That win was awesome yesterday and I think yall can keep it quiet until at least Sunday considering how good Denver looked.

Edit: we inevitably lose to Jax

Since tonight doesn't matter. Let's go with

1. LAR
2. DEN
3. BUF
4. SEA
5. NE

This was an elite performance by the Broncos offense. Bo was amazing. I just watched a film breakdown from this game. His foot work is light years better than it was in the beginning of the season. The defense was trash in the first half but amazing in the second. They are clutch on third down and in the red zone. This team is just now starting to play like I envisioned they could. It is awful quiet around here. Somehow this "fraudulent" team has won 11 games in a row.

I hope we sign Justin Simmons to replace Branden Jones.

The Jags are scary. I could see us losing this one.

The top five includes 4 very good teams and Josh Allen.

Top 5 QB's

1) Josh Allen

2) Bo Nix........He has made the leap. He has corrected some footwork issues. He has finally absorbed the incredibly complex Sean Payton offense and is now free to be himself. He has corrected the Bover throws. His arm strength is elite and getting stronger. They have cleaned up getting plays and personnel in on time. He is the most clutch QB in the game.

3) Matt Stafford....He is playing fantastically. I think his lack of mobility will catch up to him in the playoffs. It must be nice to have Puca and Adams to throw too. Imagine Bo or Josh with these guys.

Actually I'm gonna stop at 3. There are only 3 elite QB's right now.

BTW....I'm not looking at stats. This is all based on observation.

I haven't watched Trevor Lawrence play but it sounds like he is doing pretty well.

I need to see Drake Maye have a good game against a good team with a good defense before I can adequately rank him.

It appears Joe Burrow has quit.

sounds good to me newguythere

Let's let Maye actually have one comeback win in his career before we start crowning him

If you watched his tape it was easily the best he has looked since returning. 8/12 for 150 is actually pretty ridiculously efficient. A third of it was YAC from the Hopkins and Ali catches. But overall the offense just wasn't asked to do much, they ran 40 plays to the Bengals 71.

There were a couple plays that felt like he had a sudden burst and flashed his old self. I think it has been merely a combination of nagging injuries and rust. I don't disagree that it is probably the worst ~6 game stretch of his career. Maybe a period in 2021 was worse.

if BAL does make it to extra football games, the same question that has been nagging LJack in the postseason for years will be front in center

can he avoid those killer TOs?

he's been terrible. I just thought he was the best on the weekend he's been in a month and the INT was clearly not his fault.

either way, all g. my guess is he's both injured and also has a big issue with Harbaugh and that Harbaugh will likely go at the end of the year as a result

Tua might be the worst QB in the league. Really difficult to see how the Fins can go into the offseason with him as their #1 option. Cap ramifications are huge but he's awful

Swap them.

7. Lions (8-6)
8. Eagles (9-5)

Swap them too.

I feel like the Packers should be higher - I'd have them 7 or 8.

Packers took a hit due to Parsons injury and Watson status. Elo win equity ratings I got them tied 4th with Seahawks.

Teams moving up: Ravens 7th, Texans 8th. Bears 10th.

Jets are now clearly worst ITL.

Parsonless Packers? Nah.

Bears still can't crack that top ten? What is your hard on for the Lions?
