NFL 2024-25 Season

Thanks for the info, everyone. I guess the Vikings prove that lots of good things can happen with an offense if it has a good O-line and a stud receiver.

Yeah.

That said, they are the Vikings for a reason lol. Early playoff exits. Like Pittsburgh

I still remember also in 2022 the Vikings went 13-4, a lot of people were already talking about them in the NFCCG and they lost to Danny Dimes and the Giants at home. Sort of cursed.

Let me tell you about the ?98 Minnesota Vikings?..

My Bengals fire DC Lou Adaruma..hope they get Robert Saleh

Not just the DC...they fired several others as well (Frank Pollack, Marion Hobby, and James Bettcher). Big fire sale in Cincinnati. I can see Jerod Mayo filling one of those vacant spots.

Maybe we can fire Covington and bring in Lou Anarumo. He did help take the Bengals to back2back AFCCGs.

Here are my predictions for wild-card weekend:

Chargers @ Texans; 27-17 Chargers
Steelers @ Ravens; 30-13 Ravens
Broncos @ Bills; 28-24 Bills
Packers @ Eagles; 37-34 Eagles
Commanders @ Bucs; 30-24 Commanders
Vikings @ Rams; 27-19 Rams

Browns QB Deshaun Watson with another setback and may be out for the 2025 season. Looks like Browns will need to draft another QB- Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders?

Depending on what you're reading, McCarthy in Dallas still might be up in the air.

I suppose never say never if someone like Sirianni flamed out and went one & done in the playoffs.

Vikings/Rams game could be moved to State Farm Stadium in Arizona due to multiple wild fires across Southern California caused by the devastating windstorm.

Multiple teams, including the Raiders (and with their minority owner Tom Brady), have reached out to Bill Belichick about head coaching openings.

Officially moved to AZ. Shouldn't make a difference, LA Rams barely have fans anyways

DeShaun Watson torn his Achilles for the 2nd time & will probably miss next season?I can?t remember a bigger bust of a trade in any sports..anyone got one worst??

I'd be hard-pressed to come up with something worse. Especially when you factor in the contract aspect of it. 

To HOU:  CLE 1st round picks in 2022, 2023, & 2024.  CLE 4th round pick 2022, CLE 3rd round pick 2023, CLE 4th round 2024

To CLE:  Deshaun Watson, HOU 6th round pick 2024

CLE signs Deshaun Watson to 5 year $230M GUARANTEED contract

[Birdman]

Yes the contract probably make it the worst ever

Really should move the game to Minnesota, a team whose record is 14-3 vs a 10-7 record. NFL and its boneheaded formats lol

As I recall, CLE was way outside what anyone else was offering.  You could just tell this wasn't going to end well for them.  But I didn't expected to go this badly.  At least they have their picks moving forward at this point.  They can start to rebuild through the draft to some extent.

I never understand how they figure cap hit for these NFL contracts but per Spotrac, it is about $73M for both 2025 and 2026.  I guess with a cap max per team of $275M, they still have enough to work with but yikes, what a disaster.
