NFL (2024 Season)

If the 49ers were a bit savvier with their clock management at the end there, they could have stolen a game that the Packers dominated. To me it's a big sigh of relief for the Packers more than a sign of another great season.

Not sure I follow this. It's almost a bad thing for the Packers that they dominated the game against a team that a lot of people think is good?

It's not a bad thing, the score just wasn't representative of how dominant the Packers were for much of the game. It was still a nail-biter at the end despite their dominance, so if you're a Packers fan I think you're just relieved to get the W.

Shit, I'll admit I shut the game off after the Niners got that last TD.  Too annoyed the Pack choked away the lead.  Not the first time I've done that prematurely in my career as an armchair quarterback.

along with some fans saying the officiating was very questionable.

With the Packers win over the 49ers 30-28, I think rumors of the Packers and Rodgers' demise were greatly exagerrated.

Never give Rodgers time, he'll find a way to beat you.

Nobody really said that the Packers were awful. Worse than last year, sure, but definitely not done for. I think it's more about the 49ers being overrated. Their secondary is terrible. Anybody can throw on them.

I heard plenty of fans that were ready to bury the team and Rodgers after the first game loss to the Saints. It was only one game.

Eagles suck lol

Predictions for Sunday

Titans 37, Jets 14
Lions 29, Bears 14
Dolphins 24, Colts 16
Browns 31, Vikings 17
Falcons 33, Washington 25
Bills 48, Texans 7
Saints 23, Giants 20
Chiefs 42, Eagles 34
Cowboys 34, Panthers 17
Seahawks 28, 49ers 14
Rams 41, Cardinals 20
Packers 26, Steelers 10
Broncos 14, Ravens 12
Buccaneers 30, Patriots 7

Lions will get their first win against a Bears team that I have 0 faith in, until Andy Dalton is back at least. Panthers defense will return to earth. McVay's Rams have owned the Cardinals, winning all 8 matchups by an average of 20 points. That's probably the most lopsided divisional matchup in the league since 2017. Broncos will get another win to start 4-0, before they come crashing down sometime within the next month. Mac Jones will have his first "rookie game".

Predictions for Sunday

Broncos 14, Ravens 12

That's a bold pick.

Don't worry, Justin Tucker will boom thru a 75-yard FG in the mile-high air to make it 15-14 as time expires!

Two solid defenses, but that's still a really low score. Would be a surprise if one team or the other doesn't crack 20 points.

Ravens only scored 16 legitimate points against a terrible Lions defense last week.

119 yards.  Just because it's customary to have the kicker go seven yards behind the line of scrimmage doesn't mean it's mandatory.

The kicker might step out of bounds, but theoreticaly, yes. 119 yards.

Justin Tucker would make that but only against the Lions in Denver.

Justin Tucker is already the GOAT kicker playing for a team in a low elevation coastal city, imagine him on the Broncos. It would be Tom Brady and Jerry Rice levels of positional dominance.

How to lie with math:

Detroit elevation: 630 ft
Justin Tucker FG in Detroit: 66 yd

Denver elevation: 5367 ft
Justin Tucker FG in Denver: 562 yd

It'll go through some guy's front window and the Ravens will be "let's get outta here!"

I thought power varied with the cube of distance

I'll be at the Bears game tomorrow, expectations set very low and cannot wait to hear all the boos for Nagy

I'll be at the Bears game next Sunday. Pretty sure the Raiders fans will be loud and drunk as usual

My son just said he wants the Bears to lose as many games as possible this season so Matt Nagy could get fired. I had that attitude with Notre Dame in 2016, they went 4-8 and then didn't fire Brian Kelly and he's still around, so I can't get myself on that train again.

0 and 16 again?  Any takers?
I don't think the Fords even care.  Can they sell the Lions and be done with it?

Oh good, now they get to set a new record in shittiness.
