OT: Football thread (2024 season)

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Rooting for a Bills/Lions Superbowl.

One of those fanbases deserves a championship.

Will his son go #1?

I think #12 to #1 would probably be very expensive. Starting at and extra first and second pick. Possibly being two extra firsts.

Some have Ward going #1 but I reckon by draft day with media hype Shedeur will go #1.

If I am Dallas I want to go two 1 than possibly trading with Cleveland at 2, Cleveland if they wanted to could just trade back with Giants, get some decent compensation and still get their guy (If it is Travis Hunter)

I think multiple picks but theoretically if they were to offer Dak what else would be needed to move to #1 ...or is this where Jerry Jones decides to trade Micah Parsons?

I do not know if Saunders goes #1. I also do not know if Cleveland could afford both Dak and Watson? There might need to be a 3 way deal for that. Trading Parsons would be a mistake imo but Parsons and Myles Garret on 1 team would be incredible.

I think a Dak plus #12 and a 2026 1st to Tenn for #1 might be possible.

that’d be so bad for dallas. i hope it happens

 

[RangerBlues]

I just cant see the Giants taking a QB at 3, or moving up.
Just take the BPA and get a QB later in the draft and one or two on the market.

It's possible it may have been mentioned/explained here earlier, but I'm at a loss to figure out why the Jets seem hell bent on hiring a new coach BEFORE they hire a new GM? To me, that says they are continuing to "do things ass backwards" (as my mom was so fond of saying).

Call after call after call. That is why I never bet against the Chiefs

I basically have not watched a live NFL game all season. My interest just really hasn't been there and I find myself more annoyed when watching the NFL than actually enjoying it. Of course, the NY teams being shitty helps with my disinterest, but it goes further. I turned on this game right before that RTP penalty just because "hey it's the playoffs! I have to watch some of it" and after seeing that call and the replay of the earlier RTP, yeah I'm back to not giving a shit. What an embarrassment.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

In other news, Post reports Ulbrich has left Jets for DC position with Falcons.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I want to say I'd hate to be a Lions fan, but then I remembered which hockey team I root for.

 

[17futurecap]

Aaron Glenn giving up a million points, pass.

 

[Bob Richards]

Such a dominant and magical season just to be one and done lol.

I’d be sick to my stomach if I was a Lions fan

 

[Boris Zubov]

It's almost impossible to win a playoff game, or any game, when you lose the turnover battle 5-0.

Injuries really took a toll on Detroit.

yep but still they had to find a way to at least get to the NFC championship game.
The road has been cleared for a Chiefs-Eagles superbowl. Yikes.

More like, yuck.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Mouth breathers on social media love lecturing people about how real fans don't root for losses. I'm glad Danny Devito made these real fans celebrate those 2 or so losses that caused the Giants to miss out on Daniels. The amount of trash that lives in this city and roots for my team is embarrassing.

Joe Schoen’s son for Jets GM.

With the avalanche of Lion defensive injuries it would have been like asking the Wolfpack to win a game seven at MSG to get to the ECF.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I feel bad for Det and Minny fans. Out so fast after 14-15 win seasons.

Yet another reason why a 17 game season is asinine. It reduced the sport to a war of attrition.

Of course an 18 game season is coming soon, ridiculous greedy f***s.

I was just thinking how many more injuries seem to dictate seasons but not sure its because of 1 more game. In the 80s we probably had more QB injuries but I think of how different the 1986 Giants would have looked with 16 guys on IR. I don't have a solution. Just pondering

 

[NickyFotiu]

The Eagles are 8-9 point favorites in part because of their great lines and home field. So far Rams are fighting pretty well. Lets go Rams!

 

[NickyFotiu]

Barkley gets a lot of deserved praise but Peter Laviolette may have been able to run though that size hole. Eagles lines are so good.
