2024-25 NFL Thread

Fields with a solid game for Steelers. Cousins with a mediocre performance for Falcons.

Nice win to open season for Steelers

[DegenerateDish]

Game's a little fast for him right now. No reason to believe that won't change.

I think you mentioned it earlier, you're spot on that you can't side arm it from the pocket (especially at 6' even) in this league. He's going to continue to get balls batted down (or picked off) if he keeps doing that from the pocket.

Bears.

Tua gets the job done with some help from defense in second half

[Uncle Rico]

Trevor Minshew a solid 12-21-162-1 TD in a loss at Miami

[DegenerateDish]

Marvin Harrison Jr.
3 targets, 1 catch, 4 yards

[WhiteTrash]

I give Williams a C-. No turnovers helped his grade. Missed open receivers and many overthrown balls.

[Uncle Rico]

Daniel Jones gets $92 million guaranteed.  And money is ruining college sports

Thats probably fair.  The big sack was terrible, classic rookie mistake.  But the one thing that was encouraging for me was his missed throws were basically all overthrows.  And for a guy who usually has pretty good touch, that tells me he was probably a bit too keyed up and like Pak said, the game was moving too fast.  So nerves, speed adjustment, and adrenaline all lead to that.  He didn't kill them like Levis did or make shockingly bad throws, so thats good at least.

Is this AI Tom Brady?

Just like the city of Jacksonville, the Jags should be better than they are, but in reality it's just trash.

[Lennys Tap]

This game won't be remembered for its savvy quarterback play.

Add both QBs ratings and it still barely beats 100. I'm sure he'll improve but Williams wasn't nearly as good as Fields today. Defense and special teams, though...

A+ on handoffs. F+ otherwise.

One of the hand-offs was very shaky.

On the other hand, he had a TD pass dropped.

[Pakuni]

Trevor Minshew a solid 12-21-162-1 TD in a loss at Miami

Why you gotta dog Minshew like that?

Ha. I jinxed him.

AFC South went from worst to one of the most interesting divisions . Texans with Excellent win over Colts to kickoff their campaign.

[Uncle Rico]

The amount of bad QB play in the NFL right now is kind of staggering given the advantages built in for QBs

[The Sultan]

It will get better as the season goes on. Part of this is the result of no one playing pre-season.

Fun division, except for the Jags and Titans.

That's a big part of it.  But I also think guys just aren't that good.  Lot of mediocre QBs in the league at the moment

[DegenerateDish]

Brady's voice inflection is not football friendly for analysis. I think in a studio his inflection could work, but it's definitely off for an analyst.

He's not bad. Clearly not better than Olson though.

I'm far less concerned about Caleb than I am about the O-line
