NFL General Comments 2025 Season

[Mr.TaterSalad]

RIP to former Bengals and Lions RB Ridi Johnson. Far too young to pass away.

[MichiganCardinal]

Either the Chiefs or the Ravens will be 1-3 entering week five.

Such a shame. /s

I guarantee it’s related to stupid stuff in the locker room. Dude is a nut job.

I would throw DeMeco Ryans to the list. The Texans have regressed each year and Stroud looks worse than his rookie year. If this season slips away, I would be shocked if he gets fired. 

I agree. 9-8 is probably good enough, but he's got some catching up to do right now.

Lincoln Riley?   

 

Bobby Petrino's available.   (He always is)

Lincoln Riley or Ryan Day sounds like a Arthur Blank move.

He is clearly a little bit eccentric, shall we say. 

OTOH he has been a key contributor on some really good defenses. Did he go into Houston as an hired gun and wear out his welcome by telomgl the team leaders they weren’t practicing or playing at a championship level?

I wonder if the Texans mockingly waved goodbye to him as he left the office after getting the news.

I hated that guy when we had him.  One of the few, if only, “character” misses by Brad and Dan.

Honestly kudos to Dan for him not being even more of a problem than he was. Dude was straight up obnoxious, and then has the audacity to come back after missing practically the entire season and think he displace our high level starters in the secondary? FOH.

I don’t know if it was a miss since Campbell and Glenn both coached him with the Saints. Glenn was his actual position coach. 

[Jimbo]

Sometimes certain coaches can handle those type of players.  Those type of guys are only good on teams that win because you can put up with being annoying if your winning but the 2nd things go south for a couple of games and they don't shut up, the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.

Rooting for Pittsburgh  (Rodgers) against Minnesota and Dallas against Green Bay makes me feel dirty this week.

[Sports_Freak]

I hear the Lions brought in Quinton Jefferson for a free agent visit. A DE who played for Buffalo and Cleveland.

He was signed to the practice squad.

Matthew Stafford is 38-62-1 without McVay or Caldwell including 0-1 in the playoffs.

Kyler ain't it.

3rd & 5, 1:16 left in the game, and the coach has to take a timeout because he's about to take a delay of game. You have to be more aware in your 7th NFL season.

[MichiganCardinal]

Arizona's kicker choked it away with a terrible kickoff after a game tying touchdown with less than 30 seconds left. The only thing you CANNOT do there is gift them the ball at the 40.

Arizona's uniforms also look god awful, and they're at home?? WTF.

Ok, going to bed now.
