2024 NFL Season Thread

Another example of alcohol and bad decisions. 

It’s crazy that you can do this and as long as someone gets a half decent picture/video of you, social media can quickly make you pay the consequences.

According to Barstool, dude has already been discovered and has been fired from his job and will likely be facing charges.

Patiently waiting for ffl’s power rankings 

Go back a page. Had them out a bit after midnight. I think.

1. Chiefs. Off a bye, not going to penalize them. But they have a very tough game this week. 
2. Vikings. "" ""
3. Lions. They won, but lost one of their best players.
4. Ravens. Want to run away with the division but Pittsburgh wont let them.
5. Texans. Beat up on the Patriots, tough game against GB this week.
6. Falcons. Offense looks solid right now.
7. Steelers. Imagine if they had a QB that didn't suck.
8. Packers. Tore the Cardinals heart out. Love looks good.
9. Bills. Impressive MNF win, I think.
10. Commanders. Hung tough with Baltimore.
11. Buccaneers. Beat up on the injury riddled Saints.
12. Bears. Looking good and better, with some more winnable games coming up.
13. Chargers. Could be a playoff team when healthy.
14. 49ers. Our first NFC south team. Just not that impressed so far.
15. Eagles. Sirianni is a toolbag. 
16. Colts. Flacco keeping them relevant. But not sure I'm buying in. Plus I think Richardson is starting this weekend.
17. Broncos. Nix looks like junk for most of the game then has a good quarter or two to make his stats not be wtf. Don't be fooled. 
18. Seahawks. Three straight losses, next up is Atlanta and Buffalo. Could be five straight losses.
19. Bengals. Please dont let Watson look good this Sunday.
20. Jets. Not great when you fire your coach first then play a shitshow game after.
21. Cowboys. Maybe they can win their road games only, get 8-9 wins, sneak into the playoffs, win those road games, then win the superbowl in New Orleans.
22. Raiders. Good news, Adams flip-flopped again and said he may want to stay in Vegas because he likes O'Connell. Bad news, O'Connell sucks.
23. Giants. At least they can use injuries as an excuse. That defense is tough tough. 
24. Saints. They were 2-0 at one point and scoring a lot. Now they've lost four straight. 
25. Dolphins. I forgot who they even played. No one. They had a bye.
26. Cardinals. What a weird team. They lost week one, then won, then lost two, then a bizarre comeback win against SF, then a loss. They're on MNF this week against the Rams. Gross. 
27. Rams. My weekly who cares team. 
28. Patriots. At least Maye looked decent. 
29. Browns. I'm telling you, they're winning Sunday and the Bengals will make them look good. 
30. Titans. What's one positive thing you could say?
31. Panthers. They could also be #32, and maybe below some college teams.

32. Jaguars. Lawrence sucks. 

Rankings per division:
NFC North: 2, 3, 8, 12 (6.25)
NFC South:  6, 11, 24, 31 (18)
NFC East: 10, 15, 21, 23 (17.25)
NFC West. 14, 18, 26, 27 (21.25, yikes)
AFC North: 4, 7, 19, 29 (14.75) 
AFC South: 5, 16, 30, 32 (20.75)
AFC East: 9, 20, 25, 28 (20.5)
AFC West: 1, 13, 17, 22 (13.25) 

Btw Ironman, I heard a good stat today you'll appreciate on a podcast. Lawrence has played 56 games in his career, he's 21-35. So the question is, how many guys have started 55+ games, but won less than 25 of them. There's nine people on that list: Lawrence, Tim Couch, David Carr, Josh McCown, Rick Mirer, Daniel Jones, Blake Bortles, Charlie Batch, Josh Freeman. Not great company to have. 

Same record and Pittsburgh held the Falcons to 10 points, in Atlanta. No team has played the Falcons better.

I’m not saying the Steelers should be #6….but I’d have them one above the Falcons. I feel the Packers are better than both but lost to Eagles. I feel Commanders maybe too.

How are Steelers fans feeling about Fields being benched for Wilson?

I'm on the fence. I understand the case for either way.

All along I assumed either one would be ok but not great and the other would get a 3 game chance.

Either will score 9 points vs the Jets

Fields can run better and Russ can probably throw the deep ball better.

I think this week Fields would have better numbers but maybe Wilson looks decent but rusty

Generally against it. I get that Fields has been generally mediocre and the team is winning by defense and a timely play or two on offense, as opposed to good offensive performance. And I also get that they've gotten out to slow starts about every game with Fields. But they're also 4-2 and benching the starter that got them to that point in favor of an old guy who hasn't played yet this year and hasn't looked good in a couple years. And I think the issues with Fields might be less him and more the minor detail that there isn't much offensive talent at WR for him to throw to. Pickens on the days where he'd rather be a pro than a sulking child and a bunch of low-level guys that defenses aren't going to fear.

I think that Fields would give the Jets defense more fits so I'm pretty happy with the switch.

Considering how injured the offensive line has been, I'd rather have the younger, stronger, more mobile guy back there. I've seen enough plays where it seems Fields drops back and almost immediately has to start moving to avoid rushers to question the idea of taking out the superior athlete in favor of the older, (possibly) wiser guy.

And AB 6 minutes earlier on X lol

Steelers shouldn't have benched Fields, I think he'd have a pretty good day running on this defense.

Damn that's a great catch by Pickens.

Pickens eating them alive.

Wilson isn't looking bad for a guy who hasn't played in 10 months.

If Wilson can still be a top-10 QB PIT might be a contender.  Their defense is legit top-3, if not the best.

Un-fucking-real.
