It's only week one, but I'm surprised. Credit to Herbert. I also think him using his legs more than ever really helped set up his passing. I'm most surprised that the Chiefs offense didn't show much firepower or consistency, and the penalties. Then again, it's only week one. Agree this wasn't...

Lamb made $1.98m tonight to drop 3 balls. Two of them late when it really mattered. Total choke job indeed. They could have put Ryan Flournoy out there and he would have caught at least one of those throws, earning the $1.1m he makes for the entire year. ($65k per game.) Hurts played great...

Very good game at the half, but WTF was Carter thinking? He's going to have the most contrite apology or face a few game suspension is my guess. I can only imagine the tongue lashing he got when Sirinai got back to the locker room. I wouldn't say Dak was "shoved" but most of the time you touch...

Season starts tonight. Don't forget about the game in Brazil tomorrow too. DAL@PHI - I like the Eagles, don't see Dallas D stopping them. KC@LAC - I'll take the Chiefs here, also somewhat handily.

I'm just skeptical on Lawrence I guess. He, like Herbert, just seems like a decent starter who has underachieved, and forever will. With Herbert it's far too much praise, with Trevor it been too much hype. They remind me of talented QBs of the past that weren't bad, some excellent play at times...

I don't see a slump, but I don't see Washington getting as far as last year. Daniels, yes, absolutely. Don't see them running the table though. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs win it all again. I think a year similar to 2023 is possible. 11-6, but knock off other teams in the playoffs...

I know a lot of people are on the Bills bandwagon, but I'm skeptical for some reason. Maybe because they keep looking great, then losing playoff games (usually to KC). I think the Lions D will be better, but not their offense. It will take a step back. They also have a tough schedule. I can see...

Some QB predictions: I expect somewhat of a dud of a year for Dak Prescott. Rodgers will soon show he is finally, truly washed up. Geno Smith wills the Raiders to some wins but not the playoffs. Russell Wilson won't last long as the Giants starter due to him fading even more. Flacco will get...

I like Riley Leonard as a modern project of sorts. He has the size and traits of a modern NFL dual threat QB for sure. And the kid has a very positive attitude. Some predictions for the season, which starts on Thursday. MVP - Lamar Jackson ROY - Cam Ward DPOY - Will Anderson Coach - Mike...

I was surprised the Jets cut both Martinez and Cook. I think one bad interception did Martinez in with the Jets coaches, but otherwise he played okay in the preseason. He certainly looked like he could handle running an offense, more than Lance if we're to compare the two. But Lance (or...

Nussmeier, Allar, and Beck are three QBs who could have declared last year and been drafted. All were smart to stay, and will get a heap of snaps, and expect to carry their teams this season. If it's anything we're learning it's that the whole "generational talent" and "enormous potential" mean...

Meanwhile, for two years people wondered why wasn't "the best quarterback recruit ever" starting at Texas? Today, we learned why. And it wasn't just a stout defense. He looked like he just didn't have it. Inability to let the ball go. Missed open guys. Threw balls into the dirt. One ill...

Outside of Manning for 3 1/2 years, it's been a revolving door ever since: Orton, Simms, Tebow, Osweiller, Lynch, Siemian, Flacco, Lock, Allen, Driskel, Lindsay, Rypien, Bridgewater. Then of course the trade for Russ to fix it all. That debacle led to Stidham then Rypien again. Several of those...

Who's playing the Packers?? :oops:

Jerry Jones is the worst GM in the NFL. He's reached the same point of senility Al Davis did in his last few years with the Raiders, making one bad decision after another. I can't see how this works out better for Dallas. Unless they really are headed to a rebuild. But then why would they have...
