NFL 2025 season

Buffalo has a very weak secondary and offensively they are unable to stretch the field so they’re not a deep threat. Some of that is injury driven but they’re not making effective changes to address issues either.

 

So if the playoffs started right now, the top seeds will be Indianapolis and Tampa Bay. And they are both led by quarterbacks who seemed to be failures until they got to their present teams.

 

Buffalo - is a lot like Kansas City in that respect.
A BUNCH of speed guys that depend on yards after catch, but neither have a guy
they can throw 'the long bomb' to, ala Chase, Jefferson, Metcalf, Evans, Allen, Harrison,
AJ Brown, Nico, Odunze, etc. the difference between Puka Nacua and DaVante Adams....
Puka, St. Brown, Ladd McConkey, all great - none do the long ball well.

Both are really good TEAMS that seem to be making few mistakes, ie penalties.

How you balance the players/feed all the mouths without getting someone pissed (like AJ Brown in Philly), I have no idea.
Indy has three excellent WR's - how do you get them the ball? They won't win you any fantasy leagues,
but they are winning games.

 

C'mon Steelers! Now is the time for a TD

 

RIGHT ON! Freiermuth catch for six and a tie. Five defenders around him.
PAT good

 

Awwwwww............crap.

 

I keep sayin', parity is unreal this year.

There are only four teams I see that really suck, and most of it is coaching.

Vegas, Tennessee, New Orleans, and the Jets.

Sorry, but Pete Carroll comng back is going to turn out just like it did when Joe Gibbs came back... not good,
New Orleans needs a QB as do the Jets (and Vegas), and Miami is just outside these four, but close.

And I am very surprised Cincy won - every metric said they would get killed.

 

PS - Pittsburgh had all game long to figure out how to slow down, if not shut down Jamar Chase, but they didn't.
That questions Pittsburgh, their defense, and their coaching.
Other teams have slowed down and even stopped Chase, and Pittsburgh couldn't....

 

Tomlin can’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag. Should have been gone at least 7-8 yrs ago.

 

My God I cannot believe we were forced to watch this on Sunday morning....

I seriously wonder what Brady is thinking????

 

The funny thing is that it didn't take a "study" to confirm this. It only takes a set of eyes and common sense.

 

Folks should have played in a fantasy league.

One of my teams:
I've lost Burrow, CeeDee, Kittle, Connor, Evans, Hampton, Schrader, and my
only 'top pick' on this squad is Derrick Henry...
(and yes, CeeDee and Kittle are back, now...)

This particular team is now a 'who's that?' of Pro football...

 

At this point, I don't think there's a real clear favorite. There are a bunch of good teams but no one is dominating.

 

That's parity for you(socialism).
I am following the NFL less, but it seems to be approaching the NBA's 'you only need to see the last 5 minutes.'

 

If Philly ever plays even CLOSE to their capability, they can not be beaten. And by the way, the NFL has to do something about FG kickers. Now that they have their own juiced balls, offenses literally have to just get to mid field for 3 points. That Cowboys guy is gonna kick a 70 yarder.

 

What ? The mention of parity was that there are so many good teams, not “socialism” or some sort of BOP to equalize things like in car racing. The nfl is far worse than nba as far as seeming to “guide” outcomes.. If a game is close at 5 minutes maybe that’s just competition..

 

Isn't revenue sharing a BOP-like rule?
Incidentally, Goodell went to Canada during the F1 weekend in 2024(?), I think at the request of Liberty, to explain the benefits of revenue sharing. Likely the future of F1.

 

Ferrari would see the biggest amount (IMO) in rev sharing, but when was the last time they won the WDC ?? They have been a joke for far too long.. even McLaren have sort of gotten their s@$t together. Not to get off football..

 

Uh... dang I forgot, I cannot talk to you about Philly.....

BUT

If their offensive line was so damned great, they would need to PUSH a guy to get a lousy yard or two.

And Oh BTW - you cannot use injuries as excuses - EVERYONE has them.

BUT

Overall, top-to-bottom, when totally healthy - they are the most complete team.

 

I would *LOVE* to see Ferrari pull out of F1 so I can watch it crumble into oblivion, like CART did.
But let's go to the F1 threads.
