NFL 2025
-
@mariner4life Probably would have been the Bears. But I couldn't predict a winner right now.
Most unpredictable season I can recall.
-
The other big brouhaha in College football this week was the Lane Kiffen couching embroglio.
Switched from Ole Miss to LSU, 91 mil over seven years, plus bonuses.
With some interesting clauses.
If he wins the CFP, he must then be assured of being the highest paid College coach.
If Ole Miss wins the CFP this year, LSU must pay his Ole Miss win bonus.Ole Miss refused to let him coach the team thru the play-offs, Kiffen wanted to.
With no real player contracts in College, Ole Miss are scared LSU will clean them out.
Same with the Assistant coaches.Had an immediate police escort out of town, for him, and his family!

If it's going to happen it wouldn't have mattered if he'd coached them in the playoffs or not. Should have tried to enjoy a strong playoff run before whatever happens next

With the chaos that is College football, the problem is that all the teams (except the CFP teams) have finished their seasons and have begun putting their rosters together for next season. Which is why LSU wanted Kiffen rn.
CFP teams are at a disadvantage, if they make the final they are going for another 7 weeks yet.
No one seems to care about the non-CFP bowl games these days.Kiffen conducting an LSU recruitment program while still coaching at Ole Miss seems to have been a bit too much for the Ole Miss management.
Tulane (24) looks to have the running for the final Conf champ spot; but could also be North Texas or maybe James Madison.
Utah/Vanderbilt/Michigan/Texas (13 to 16) probably still have hopes too.
These teams are all much better performed than the likes of Tulane, especially Texas rn.
Why it should be a 16 team play-off. -
Put a red line on Kansas City. They're done and won't be in the playoffs this year.
-
Jesus who'd try to be picking games these days. What entertianment. Watched Steelers Ravens - big effort. Rodgers looks good at 42 FFS. Henry is still a meast, but didn't get it done when it counted. Isiah Likely had the ball in the endzone and somehow dropped it after 2 steps - and that's all she wrote baby.
What a comp. Good teams going to miss playoffs this year. Colts in freefall and their window slammed shut with no first round draft picks until 2028
-
College football play-offs are fixed too.
Top of the bracket much as expected.
Shit fight at the bottom tho.
Notre Dame got bumped out at the death, after being in the bracket for most of the way.I don’t mind conf champs getting in, but Tulane (20) and JMU (25) are probably guna get smashed in the first round.
At least this year the rankings count, and they are in the draw as the 11 and 12 cedes.
It’s an issue, the teams ranked 11 to 16 (who aren’t in), would probably deal to those two quite easily, and maybe even to some of those ranked 1 to 10.Unlike another football finals comp that did their draw recently, the top two ranked teams are ceded to meet in the final.
The rankings do count in College Football (sort of) when the draw is done.They are talking about a 16 team play-off for next year rn.
Has to happen, because those teams (11 to 16) getting left out are all well performed.
Money probably the only sticking point (as usual). -
Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention this year after 16-13 loss at home to the Chargers and wins by the Bills, Texans & Jaguars. To rub salt into the wound, Mahomes went down with what looked like a serious knee injury late in the game.
On another note, Philip Rivers is back in the NFL. His first start in 1800 days.
-
another fucked up day. Mahomes officially misses the play offs (which brings up the best Tom Brady stat ever, he never played a down in the NFL where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs). Patriots lose again. Right now the Seahawks, the Rams and the Broncos are down.
-
don't worry, Seahawks, Rams and Broncos all get up in the end.
-
Going to call it now, Kelce and Reid to both retire at season's end and the Chiefs will be in a new era next season.
Not surprised they missed finals but to lose Mahomes to an ACL only adds more salt to the wounds.
-
I actually had a multi on the Packers to make the Super Bowl at the start of the season looking at the TAB app before but with Parsons out I think it might be a bridge too far.
-
Kelce is a shell of his prime. Retirement probably a good bet, especially if Mahomes misses a chunk of the season (haven't seen how serious it is, but if it's bad he'll struggle to be ready for the start of next season).
Not sure about Reid. Does he want to get to 300 regular season wins? Probably needs another 2-3 seasons to get there.
