NFL 2025-26 Season

I don't think it's all his fault (injuries + Tua just sucks and is NOT worth 200M+) but McDaniels may be done with Miami after today. Terrible loss to the Browns (31-6, yikes)

I'd be surprised if he still has a job tomorrow

Colts might be for real. Still iffy about Danny Dimes but that's a pretty complete team on both sides of the ball, and Tyler Warren has been a massive addition for them via the Draft.

Denver was trailing 19-0 at the start of 4th quarter.

Final score: 33-32 Denver

Crazy

[Donoghus]

Yikes.

The Tua Tagovailoa Contract
2025: $15.3M (remaining)
2026: $55M ($54M gtd)
2027: $37M
2028: $49.4M

$3M of 2027 salary guarantees next March. $22M more guarantees March 2027. In short, Miami is currently on the hook for $57M+ going forward.

Apparently Lamar Jackson is still out for tomorrow's game. I know their remaining schedule is easy but they are gonna need to rack up a lot of wins to catch up again. They thought he'd be back after the bye but it'll be another week

Nick Mangold, former Jets' center passed away at age 41 due to complications from kidney disease.

When ESPN broke the news out this morning, Rex Ryan was mourning and commenting about it live. Sad.

The Jets rallied their game this morning, defeating the Bengals to score their first win of the season.

I get the Dolphins are bad, but Baltimore with Lamar back, looked like a legit team again.  And their schedule is so easy the rest of the way.  They may very well be favored every game they play the rest of the year (probably won't win out, but just talking about individual game odds).  They might very well catch the Steelers before they even play them for the first time in week 14.  They are 3-5, their schedule the rest of the season is: @ Vikings, @ Browns, Jets, Bengals, Steelers, @ Bengals, Patriots, @ Packers, @ Steelers.  That is a pretty easy schedule.  11-6 is certainly possible.  Still probably only gets them a 4 seed and a tough 1st round matchup.

Ravens absolutely have a chance at making the playoffs, if not even winning the division. Steelers don't look that good to me and the Bengals were fighting a bit but that was a brutal loss to the Jets. If the Ravens beat the Steelers + Bengals in their matchups then they can probably win the division.

Yeah I just looked and betting wise, the Ravens are the favorites to win the division, which makes sense with Lamar back and how close they are to Pitt especially with the Steelers having a tough matchup this week.  I think 10-7 could win that division too.  May lead to a long road in the playoffs but maybe that is what the Ravens need to finally get over the hump in the playoffs.  As a Pats fan I hope not but watching Lamar play is fun I cannot deny that.

That Pats loss to the Steelers bugs me.  Blew that one.  Steelers were unimpressive.  I'd be surprised if they maintain the lead in that division.  Steelers and Ravens are two of my least-liked teams so I wish it was neither.

I have the Ravens as a scheduled loss anyways lol. I think Bucs, Bills, Ravens will be scheduled losses and I'll allow for one more loss somewhere (maybe Atlanta or a trap game). That would still be a nice 11-6 season with a playoff game

11-6 is probably the 6th seed which would mean going to 3, which may very well be Buffalo in that scenario.

The Pats are bound to lose one game to the Dolphins. It just happens lol.

I am not a full believer in the Chargers or Broncos yet so I could see 11-6 being the 5 seed although I think a lot is going to come down to tiebreakers especially since the Chiefs, Bills and Ravens have all struggled a bit likely bringing them back to the pack.  It could be very tight, but I would absolutely take 11-6 in the first year with Vrabel and second with Maye.  That would be a better outcome than I expected.  I still think Chiefs are the team to beat in the AFC followed by the Bills but anything can happen in the playoffs of course.
