2024 NFL Season Thread

Last night sucked! Long weather delay and then Dallas did everything they could to give Pittsburgh the game, but the Steelers weren't all that interested in taking advantage.

Not putting a lot of thought and research into this week.

1. Chiefs. Easy.

2. Vikings. Darnold finally had a bad game and they still won by 6. 

3. Texans. Kind of had this win gift wrapped for them though. 

4. Commanders. Still going strong but they have Baltimore this week. 

5. Lions. Off a bye but I still think they’re best in NFC.

6. Ravens. Should have lost probably but fortunately for them most of their division can’t get out of their own way. 

7. Falcons. Offense looked strong and they should win (@carolina) Sunday. 

8. Packers. 

9. Steelers. Gonna need to figure out this offense if they want to be taken seriously. 

10. Broncos. Nice little three game win streak going. 

11. Bears. Trending in right direction but they can’t lose this London game to Jacksonville this week. 

12. Cowboys. Not exactly an impressive win Sunday but still got it done. 

13. Bills. Two very bad losses now.

14. Cardinals. Nice little come from behind win. NFC west is interesting.

15. Seahawks. Starting that downward slide. 

16. Buccaneers. Got destroyed by Kirk Cousins.

17. Eagles. Hopefully a bye week will get them right because they look like poop. 

18. Saints. 

19. 49ers. The Bengals of the NFC.

20. Chargers. Very hard to assess with a lot of injuries and coming off a bye. But they have several winnable games coming up and could rapidly climb these rankings. 

21. Giants. Suddenly looking okay.

22. Jets. 

23. Colts. Gave Jacknsonville their first win of the season.

24. Raiders. My weekly who cares team. 

25. Dolphins. 

26. Bengals

27. Titans

28. Browns

29. Jaguars 

30. Rams 

31. Patriots 

32. Panthers

Looks good…move up the Bengals a couple

Robert Saleh fired, wow.

Isn’t Hackett kind of a bozo that’s primarily in that role because of Rodgers?

He was definitely a bozo when he was Denver's head coach. Seem to recall he just seemed clueless at times.

Doesn’t seem fair

Wow.

Ulbrich to be the interim HC. Good.

More or less, yes. Had success as OC in GB. Sucked as HC in Denver. Not a great OC in NY. I would not be upset if he gets fired as well.

If true he better have committed a felony or something 

Her best one of the season

Drake Maye to start this Sunday. 

Bengals should try to bring in Saleh as a defensive consultant or something.

You’ve had worse ideas

Unless Saleh can play defensive back, doubt it's going to move the needle much. The Bengals have a really good D-Coordinator, from my viewpoint, but you can only make so much of a chicken salad when your ingredients are chicken shit.

Maybe, I'm not too familiar with the Bengals issues, just that the defense isn't good. My brother-in-law (Bengals fan) was texting me about it earlier today and he was into the idea. I think Saleh is a great defensive mind, just not cut out for being a HC.

MUCH worse.

I don't follow them like I follow the Browns but Mike Brown's cheapness has let a lot of good secondary talent (see Jessie Bates) walk in free agency. I think they have a solid front 7 but the back end of the defense is a dumpster fire, from what I've heard.

Saleh would be pointless. Lou is a good coordinator but he’s working with trash. If anyone should go, it’d be their GM Duke Tobin who keeps missing on draft picks.

They just don’t have any good players, besides Hendrickson. The secondary is awful. Go back and watch that ridiculous Lamar touchdown from the other day. He fumbles the snap, doesn’t pick it up cleanly right away, and by the time he does there still isn’t anyone near him. Hubbard finally gets to him only to be stiff armed fucking twice. 

They just don’t make plays.
