NFL 2025

To the eyes of a newbie... The Dolphins coach seems like a massive douche.
And the amount of camera time on him.... suggests that's a known fact? -
A week is a long time in the NFL
The high flying saints are held to 12 points and lose to the Eagles.
The fucking Broncos got a win, away at Tampa. And score 26 points!
The Panthers are giving the Raiders a beat down.
The Ravens are back -

lol the Ravens only just held on, and aren't doing anything this year based on that (nor are teh Cowboys though)

I should have learned by now not to get too excited after week 1
The 49ers look like they are taking a typical regression following a Super Bowl loss. Their defense has huge issues and they don't really have many big names to come back and fix it.

you've got some pretty significant outs.

The bucs were 2-0 and looking like a surprise package there too.
0-2 rams tip up the 49ers with a slightly absurd come back as well.
Vikings now 3-0 looking like a handful.
Vikings now 3-0 looking like a handful.
Vikings tend to be strong more often than not over the years through a regular season (everyone surprised now by Darnold as JJ's replacement kicking ass), but if they somehow maintain this effort, they still have to get through post season, where ALL Vikings teams fail to get to Valhalla

I seem to recall we started badly last season and then caught fire. Have faith mate

Allen is a stud

Not a single punt in the Bengals-Commanders game! Prime time viewing.
Bengals now have a massive hill to climb. I'd say they're good enough to do it but they've dropped two games that should have been easy wins, so I don't see how you can have any confidence that they'll get things done in any other game an their schedule.
Next up they're off to play the Panthers, and their old friend Andy Dalton. Again, should be an easy win, so I wonder how they'll stuff this one up.

Yeah
Love josh allen
Usually hate QBs
Live to see a pocket passing QB getting cut in half by a D lineman . . . and get loaded on the cart . . . beautiful thing
But allen not only runs the ball . . . he hits it up . . . and drops his shoulder! . . . takes the hit and then trash talks the defence
love it
actually lol with some of his moves
-
notice a few "rugby passes" (what the seppos call them) creeping into the NFL
Amon Ra (Detroit) caught a QB pass then did a lateral to another player who crossed for the TD
Travis Kelce seems to be looking to try this move whenever he has the ball now too
-
The hook and ladder has been around a while, but definitely getting more common as a way to break up defensive patterns.
Will Levis had a crack at an offload and it was a disaster.
One of the issues with creativity in the NFL is that if you lose doing a 'conventional' thing you generally get forgotten and the league moves on. If you try something and it goes wrong then it ends up being repeated for weeks and the media dine out and owners hate a loser, but hate looking foolish even more (as a general rule). Takes a combination of a creative, aggressive coach in a situation where they feel their job is safe to really go for it.
