NFL 2024

If I'm making a Super Bowl pick I'm taking the Lions. They look so complete, even without Hutchison. They've got depth, smart playcalling, ability to play tight, ability to play loose, and they just make good decisions. They rolled over Green Bay at Lambeau in the wet in an almost effortless way, super impressive.
The Ravens are tempting but they are an injury to Lamar or Henry away from coming right back to the pack. Given both are injury prone I wouldn't be betting against that outcome, sadly.
I think the 49ers are the interesting smoky. CmC due to come back, the underdog mentality, a division that still looks very winnable... I don't think you'd want to run into them down the stretch.

and the Saints sack their head coach. I'll keep posting this, they scored 91 points in the first two weeks. They only conceded 29.
In the next 7 weeks that goes to 116-200.

yeah i have been reading about this. Some of the worst management you will see.
I have seen a few teams enquiring about Lattimore.
That Carr hit though, eeeesh (coming from the supporter of a team that is still paying Russell Wilson).
-
The worst part is, who the fuck can they get to replace him? No one is going to look at that roster/cap situation and think it is a good move.
Aspiring coaches will see their reputation getting tanked as they can't turn trash in to treasure. Established coaches will wait for a better situation with better pieces. No one good (an not desperate) is taking that job.
-
Exactly. The only thing in their favour is being in the worst division in the NFL, so you're always in with a chance of making the playoffs. And they aren't a historically bad franchise.
But QB is ugly. They probably try and take a chance on a guy like Fields, or else tank hard and try and take a QB in the top 10. No idea what this draft class is like though.
-
smart move is eat 2025 and come back in 2026.
-
2025 draft class doesn't look like a great QB group.
There are only 32 HC jobs in the NFL so every role is appealing. Every vacant role generally has roster problems, although this saints team is probably worse than most.
Their cap situation has been awful for years but they used various maneuvers to keep pushing out the hits. They've been one of the main reasons you occasionally hear 'the cap is a lie'. The reality is it always comes due.

mmm saints are a mess
fans are getting real shitty too
saw belichik being asked about them today, and he just sort of shook his head
afterwards i thought, jeez he's a roster expert, maybe saints have already chatted himi think johnson oc lions may have knocked back a hc position at end of last
lions are awesome, best right now imo

Sorry for the Barkley spam but some of the sideline and fan reaction videos have been on the Steph Curry USA v France dagger 3 level
-
There have been 2 instances in NFL history where a QB had:
30+ completions
300+ passing yards
4+ TD passes
multiple 40+ yard TD passes
no more than 1 INT...and yet still lost. Those 2 instances were Joe Burrow vs the Ravens in Week 5 & Joe Burrow vs the Ravens again yesterday.

god fucking DAMMIT. we had it, it was right there, we had beaten the Chiefs, at their house. The streak was over. The Broncos had arrived. And bang, a blocked field goal and those bastards escape again.
Football in New York is cooked. The Jets re the Jets, and right now teh Cardinals are giving them a beat down. The Giants lost to the Panthers. It is not going well.
.
The Patriots beat Chicago. Ouch.
I ma pretty sure the Jags coach is about to get fired.
The Cowboys stink.
Dead cat bounce for the Saints. -
Showing how much good coaching can make a difference, the Chargers are quietly very good this year.
Just cutting out dumb mistakes, improving special teams and having an ounce of injury luck and now they are 6-3.
Payton having much the same impact in Denver. They aren't stacked with talent but they don't make dumb mistakes that hand their opposition the game.
