NFL Thread IV

[mikal]

The NFC playoffs are going to be interesting. Especially if the Vikings and Packers hold serve on the road in the Wild Card Round. Legitimately 4 teams that could easily win the Super Bowl. I probably feel the least confident in the Vikings only because they've really struggled with some easier matchups recently. Eagles probably look the best at the moment since the Lions have so many injuries. I still think next year is the year the Packers win it all as their roster matures, but I don't think anyone wants to play them in the playoffs.

It sorta feels like it could finally be the Bills year, except it's, you know, the Bills.

That said, even with Mahomes' injury, it's the Chiefs until somebody knocks them down.

Kind of what I’m thinking too. They look really good and potentially matchup proof.

i don't trust Campbell in the playoffs to not do something stupid - but a Bills vs. Lions Superb Owl would be, well, Superb.

It would probably be the highest rated Superb Owl in Canada's history.

I'm all for that Superb Owl

Reminds me of 2003 when it looked like we might be heading to a Red Sox vs. Cubs World Series (and the inevitable subsequent implosion of planet Earth) and we all know how that turned out.

So, it'll be Chiefs vs. Eagles

 

[mikal]

LFG!

 

[Hewson]

Lot of division games to play in the NFC Norris, we'll see how things shake out (I assume Da Bears will begin to plummet).

This post from 10/21 was prophetic.
Da Bears are 0-9 since this post.

 

[phanan]

Two more games to tank and the Pats should stay in the Top 2.

Too bad it isn't a good QB class for teams to give up a ton, but it takes just one to be desperate enough I guess.

You did also predict that the Packers would go back to their losing days of the 80’s after Rodgers left though.

Patience Grasshopper, it's coming.

Wrong team. That’s the Patriots that went back to their losing years.

That TNF game last night was absolutely atrocious. Before they started having games like every day, those TNF games were atrocious, but then they started having some entertaining games. That game was reminiscent of those awful Bears teams from the 70's and 80's. Not like Seattle played much better but they won.

We are so dumb

 

[phanan]

If I’m the Pats I play all backups next week

They'll F it up and win.

You guys just bought yourself a shit ton of draft picks and can probably still get Hunter. Someone will want to trade up for a QB. Probably our dumb asses at 3.

 

[phanan]

Especially with the Bills most likely resting players now.

They show your dumb asses at 4 currently.
We'll give you #1 for #4, your 2025 3rd rounder and your 2026 1st rounder. Deal is only on the table for today, need an answer by noon.

There was a lot of talk about Josh Allen wanting to continue his start streak, so maybe he plays a series, and the Bills go up 7-0, then Trubisky can hold the fort for a 7-3 win.

Nah.

I'd rather be bad again next year and make a play for Arch.

Which means that Schoen will jump at your offer.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I can't wait to bet the win under for the commanders next season.

 

[Hewson]

Actually, The Iggles are likely in rest mode next week, so you G-men will probably win again and drop down to like 8th or 9th pick, so no deal anyway.

Yep.

 

[Hewson]

Yep.

Brutal

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if the giants are smart they'll trade the third pick.

so, in other words, welcome to new york ,travis hunter.

 

[DaveC]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[phanan]

The Lions are really gonna blow this
