2024 NFL Season Thread

Jets have started their HC interviews in earnest. Ron Rivera yesterday, Mike Vrabel today. Likely won't matter as long as Woody owns the team.

Jermaine Burton doesn’t seem to be a great decision maker 

The Chiefs are stranded at the KC airport due to ice and can’t take off for their game tomorrow. At the moment anyways. They couldn’t have left earlier? We’ve known about this storm all week.

Bengals W

Dolphins L

Chiefs forfeit…avoid chance of injury

Broncos to playoffs 

What a lot of exciting action in the last 2 minutes in cold Pitt.  Not long ago the teams would have been content to let the clock run out  Now NFL offenses and head coaches do not want to waste any opportunities to try to score.

Ironman your team is in trouble.

You simply have to run on 1st down and then not be in a hurry…especially an offense like pittsburgh

Why? Come out every game with frictionless defense on 1st 2 drives often….offense has not good blocking, QB can’t run anymore and if you watch the receivers and how often they can’t get an inch of separation, you’d wonder how they ever score. Tomlin can’t control clock (see SB win) and we have strongest leg kicker in the AFC….but we kickoff to the 10 every time for some reason.

All this and if Wilson can throw it anywhere near Pickens on they 3rd down….Boswell has a 40 yarder for the win…,or if Friermuth our good hands TE catches the 4th down….we have a long 55 yard for the win.

This was against MVP Burrow and the team wanting the Chiefs and Bills in the playoffs.

Pittsburgh has been bad for 5 weeks…that gauntlet in 11 games was dumb.

Hell even stoic Tomlin looked cold…he never flinches. He has no answers

Chargers beat Raiders who aren’t trying and Steelers travel to Baltimore for a 38-13 bloodbath. I’m signing up FanDuel account and getting that bonus $150 with a $5 bet. That $150 going on Ravens, then going to cancel account and buy a Shetland pony

Can I just say (and this hurt the Bengals 2x I think) and one was THE dumbest call of it I’ve ever witnessed. The illegal linemen downfield  call? Can someone explain me why it’s being absolutely harped on all season? What’s the purpose? Safety? Burrow scrambled with minimal pressure for like 7 seconds. The center blocked and blocked and after block just stood and looked for others likely waiting on a whistle…..and he’s called for being more than 1 yard down the field? He and his teammate blocked a player a yard and a half back….then he just stood there. 5 yards, take away the first down.

It’s asinine. Seems completely made up. I worry a playoff game will be decided by this new “holding” call

That’s a good question. You’d think the league would want to keep it moving and exciting rather than call penalties no one cares about or understands. 

Steelers kind of did what Atlanta did on SNF last week with saving the timeouts while the clock ran. Although Atlanta’s was much worse. Russ goes down (which was the biggest mistake) and they go from 46 seconds to 27 seconds. And it’s all for nothing anyways as he’s sacked the next play and then they have to use it. 

I hate watching the bengals vs Watt. Especially with how poor their offensive line can be. 

I don’t think an opposing player has ever given me as much dread, except for when the Cavs had to keep facing Curry in the finals. 

Huge moment in Bucs/Saints game and refs have it as 1st and goal at the 24 and Dean Blandino is with the announcing crew and he can’t believe none of the 6 refs know it should be 1st and 10 based on what happened.

Baker Mayfield throwing fines that are impressing Tom Brady….and me as well

Patriots join the Giants throwing away the #1 pick

If one were writing a piece on small things to do to lose on purpose in the NFL….the Saints are supplying all the info

Yeah, Saints aren’t even trying to hide it. Almost like a Pro Bowl game effort on 3rd down defense.

2nd time Saints commit a personal foul on 3rd and long on the defensive side…..

So bad this game isn’t going to come down to the end like the league likes….and is going to give Evans 1000 yards which he wouldn’t have gotten

Honestly crazy to watch

This game is awful.

Now with 30 seconds left and game clinched and playoffs clinched and they are going to get Mike Evans his 5 yards

Just ridiculous …Saints won’t try
