NFL General Comments 2025 Season

[Motown Bombers]

This isn’t the first time. Remember when the Eagles collapsed in 2023? Hurts is ****ting the bed without Lane Johnson and a dominant run game. When do the narratives start?

And didn't they just extend Barkley? Running backs seem to really fall off a cliff sometimes. Dallas is going to take that division the next few seasons, all the picks they received in the Parsons trade should net them some good defensive players, if they're smart (they're not😆).

Philly hired Scot Loeffler to coach Hurts..of course he now sucks. That guy and his stupid offensive schemes drove me away from watching my alma mater, BGSU

Eddie George and (especially) Pudge the cat brought me back

The Eagles made trades. How could this be happening? 

They aren’t having trouble generating pressure. If they had traded for Hurts you might have a point.

Their offense was bad and they made no trades to address it.

Maybe so but how bad is the Charger offense? 5 or 6 Eagle turnovers (i lost count) and it took the Chargers overtime to win? The Lions would have scored 50 points...lol

The Chargers OL is bad. The Eagles defense shut the Lions down in the same way. We just didn’t get the turnovers, Herbert is mobile (he was their leading rusher), and the Chargers punted.

Yep. Their trades made them better. If they could replace Hurts with Herbert they win that game.

The Eagles OL is not the problem. Hurts had all day. He just missed. A lot. He’s maybe not a great pocket passing QB. With a dominate run game and defense he can hit his first read. Anything else he seems lost.

That's one advantage Goff has. He may not be very mobile but he's really good at reading defenses.

Philip Rivers has signed with the Colts. He's 44 years old and has 10 children. He's also a grandfather. And he's 4 years older than the Colts head coach.

Egads... a grandfather at 44? I mean I guess that's just averaging having a kid at 22, which isn't like super young... but that just seems odd to me. I've got a decade on him and no grandkids myself.

The dude is Shawn Kemp, except they all have the same mother.

Yeah, he's 44 years old but he has 10 kids!! All with one woman? E-gads, how does she walk? 9 months of being pregnant X 10 children? 90 months of being pregnant. 90 months = 7.5 years.

Been seeing talk of the Eagles moving on from Hurts. The thing is, his contract makes it impossible. The Eagles would take a $117 million cap hit to move him. Roseman loaded the contract with so many void years, that if the Eagles simply just let him walk at the end they would have a $97 million cap hit. They have to re-sign him. His contract is a ticking time bomb. That’s why Roseman has been able to make these trades. Goff, for example, has no void years. The Lions will be taking the brunt of his contract next year.

The plan is to cut two minutes off the clock. Will probably be added to commercial time for betting folks

 

[sagnam]

The first round is way too long. It never made sense.

If they do add more commercials, does that mean that they might actually cover the Lions pick rather than cutting to commercial right when it comes in?

Its all so ESPN has time to talk about the previous pick and the next pick, while allowing teams a little bit of time to make a trade and add excitment. All for a bit of sizzle to a honestly boring on its face event.

Baker Mayfield has been downright terrible for the last 5 games.  He’s the main reason the Bucs have sucked.    Tonight is more of the same with him holding the ball like a rookie for way too long and also throwing inaccurate ball after inaccurate ball.   Al & Kirk continue to gloss him up and ignore all of it.  Not one bit of criticism and any questions about the ****tiness of his game.  

[sagnam]

I’ve revised my rooting interest after Baker threw that last TD to Godwin. Now I’m’ fine with them losing out.

Probably the most animated you will ever see Todd Bowles.

It’s easy to hindsight at this point. And I can’t say I’ve expressed your thoughts here before before, but that’s the Baker Mayfield I’ve always seen when the Lions have played them these past few years. Overthrowing guys, making mistakes at the worst times, which is why I never understood the MVP talk earlier.

Agreed. 2 throws he made last night cost them the game. The pick was bad enough but missing his receiver on 3rd down late in the game would have iced the game. Even the Amazon announcers said how bad he threw the ball, behind a streaking and wide open receiver. That loss is on Baker...

And yet Tampa will make the playoffs over teams more deserving. The NFL has to change the stupid playoff format;
