NFL 2024-25 Season

[Neurotic Guy]

There are 8  teams with 2 or 3 wins, that is 25% of the league.  The only team of this group to win this week was JAX as they had a head to head with TEN, who is one of the 3 win teams.  Other than head to head games, I am not sure any of these teams will win another game.

The Pats strength of schedule to date is 24th, the easiest or lowest SOS of the 2 and 3 win teams.  This is important for tie breaking for draft order.  The Pats remaining schedule is 3rd toughest overall and toughest of the 2 and 3 win teams (per ESPN).  JAX have games vs. LV, TEN, and NYJ remaining.

@AZ, @BUF, LAC, BUF.

I'd be shocked if they do any better than 1-3 this remaining stretch.

I know many hate this, but I?m rooting for 0-4.   
Having a shot at Travis Hunter seems important,  either taking a pretty sure thing player (regardless of how he?ll ultimately be used) or having a valuable trade down chip for multiple picks.  I lean to hoping they?d select him though I?m very unschooled in what?s available later in the draft.  Idk if they need the #1 pick or not to get a chance at Hunter.  What do you think?

Btw - rooting hard for Drake over the last 4 games and if he leads them to a win or two, of course that?s good too.

One of NFL's and Patriots' greats Randy Moss was diagnosed with liver cancer. Recently stepped down from  his ESPN job.

Hopefully they caught it early. Come back strong...Moss this cancer.

His son is refuting that.

"This is disgusting," the 26-year-old Moss wrote to Fitzgerald Sr. "You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement."

"I do not believe my father talks to you," he continued, "so check your f***ing sources."

Thaddeus -- a former NFL player himself -- also went to Brett Favre's social media page to check the ex-Packers QB after he had made a similar post on the heels of Fitzgerald Sr.'s report.

"Brett," he wrote, "the support is appreciated, truly. This is not true. My father will address the world when he is ready to."

Me too. It's a bit of a bummer that they've even won 3 games.

The late afternoon games today are gonna be awesome.

And obviously the best one of the bunch is New England-Arizona   

[Phantom255x]

Josh Allen is easily the MVP of the league.

Looks like Patrick Mahomes is week to week with a right ankle injury. Somebody should've knocked it down harder

Eagles could snag the #1 seed and a first-round bye. And the Vikings are surprisingly not too far behind the Lions at 11-2.

Unfortunately, one of these .850 teams may end up opening the playoffs on the road as a wild card team. It's too bad the Rams and the Bucs may have home-field advantage over them due to being leaders of their divisions lol

[Donoghus]

Interesting chart here.

Awww Patrick Mahomes was whining that he has to play 3 games in 11 days

Saturday 12/21 at home vs Houston
Wednesday 12/25 at Pittsburgh
Sunday 1/5 at Denver

He need not worry because the refs will bail him in all three games. Expect within 1-TD/1-FG win in all three games for KC, ending the regular season with a 16-1 record.

This still bothers me. The "best" team in a weak division shouldn't have home-field advantage over a team that's clearly better.

And it might do them in because they have to travel to the 3 or 4 seed in the wild card and play in their environment.

Well, except for the Rams. It's mostly filled with away team fans 80% of the time so that doesn't matter. Just the traveling part. And then they have to travel again next round if they win.

It?s one thing if happens so infrequently that it doesn?t seem worth changing a rule for. But I feel like it happens pretty regularly.  Definitely in need of a change.

Cameron Dicker, first free kick field goal since 1976 made a 57-yard free-kick FG before the half.

Yeah, I feel like it happens fairly often in football.
