    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Was always going to be tough early Thursday game having to go to Green Bay, but man looked bad. Rookie RT v Parsons all night was...something. No run game, D letting too many free guys whole 1st half. Kind of did better eventually but some of that probably b/c game was essentially out of...

    NHL 2024-2025: Definitely the Leafs year

    I think he knows he IS that entire franchise right now. Probably doesn't want to lock in for 8 years, either.

    The ironic thing about Wilson is he reminds me of a lesser Big Ben. Not in the sense they're the same type of player at all, but in the way each turned into a real passer AFTER their Super Bowl success...just Big Ben did it on a much higher overall level and his peak lasted much longer than...

    Nice play by their returner. Now if they run it 3 times and punt, Bears will have under 30 seconds left when they get it back.

    Well, did what they had to there. Now you kick it deep for touchback so no clock runs, two stoppages to hopefully get the ball back with around 65 seconds left.

    You were the magic. Honestly feel their D started to give them some energy, and Jordan Mason more so than Jones running the ball sparked the O a little.

    Man I'm already looking ahead to thursday night. Packers going to be a massive test for Commanders. D looked a lot better Sunday but it's the Giants without their best O lineman, hard to really take a lot from that. Micah and that defense scary, although the one spot Giants are strong at is D...

    Still drives me nuts that idiot coaches fucking up going for 2 after the first touchdown when they're about to score down 15. Buffalo's coach did it tonight kicking to keep it an 8 point game rather than finding out right away if they were going to need 3 possessions instead of 2 (which they...

    Have had him stashed in a few leagues already (easy to just draft a guy who is on IR in leagues with IR spots then scoop undrafted guys like TeSlaa after the draft). Little worried offense is too crowded for him to be fantasy relevant without St Brown or Williams missing time, though.

    He actually had 5 fumbles lost, not just 2. While the box car stats look okay, I know good bit of them came late in games when they were probably trailing by a couple scores.

    I do think a guy like him might have a little more success than Trubinsy, although ironically Mitch kinda started off fairly hot in Chicago. But it is amazing how bad certain franchises can ruin careers. Buddy and I were talking about "forgotten WR's" the other day and Elijah Mitchell's name...

    I'm trying to think in my head what the motivation would be. Obviously they sold a shit ton of merch, season tickets, etc in the wake of drafting Williams, but in what was genuinely viewed as a possible historic draft in terms of QB talent, the long term cost of getting it wrong with so many...

    Hadn't heard the dyslexic thing. Might explain some of the other stuff. GM putting together/focusing on bad plays by other prospects to deter any sort of debate is just wild for an NFL team, though.
