2023-25 NFL Thread

[JSngry]

Regular Season in the home stretch, playoff berths still up in the air, a handful of teams seem solid, many more could go either way.

Your thoughts, hopes, wishes, and despairs have a home here. For shockingly few teams, it's not too late just yet!

Not a good sign its Christmas Eve when this thread gets started but then again I have seen not a single game and have virtually no knowledge where team stands except that I believe the Bears remain a pile of suckitude.

Dolphins @ Cowboys today, let's see who best plays up to hype, er... perception.

Don't think we have a 2023/4 NBA thread either.

We do now!

I (Eagles fan) did!

It was the Fraud Bowl. Neither, but particularly the Cowboys, are good enough to get to the Super Bowl.

Chiefs got readily handled by the Raiders. Hmmm ...

Clear front runner, for sure.  I certainly see fewer flaws and more strengths than any other team in the AFC.

Purdy simply had a terrible day. He was probably due. However, the 49ers record against the AFC North isn’t pretty, 1-3, although they should have won the Browns game. 

[JSngry]

Having a good time watching Joe Flacco playing a full game. 

[JSngry]

Drama... 

[JSngry]

Thank you Eagles, but Ravens making everything look irrelevant at this point... 

[felser]

Ravens-49'ers Superbowl coming up, I think.  I'm an Eagles fan, but they look like toast to me at this point.

[JSngry]

I could see a fluke where the Lions beat the Niners (but expectation bias means it might not be a fluke?). But I don't see anybody beating the Ravens, barring some crippling injuries. Talk about locked in ...

If Cincinnati beats Cleveland, all four teams of the AFC North will finish above .500.

This (all four teams finishing above .500) has not happened since the NFL West of 1935.

AFC North will become first NFL division in 88 years to pull off this feat if Bengals beat Browns in Week 18 (msn.com)

Nobody looked good in the Steeler/Ravens Lite game. Has the proliferation of indoor venues weakened the "weather game" gene pool?

Still, glad to see a Steeler win, just to add a little drama for today's game.

Texans and Stroud showed up and played hard, but so did the Colts That was a good game all the way to the end.

They did it, 31-14.

Baltimore still likely in the AFC, but damn, Buffalo looked like demonball last night.

Upset pick (hope) Packers over Dallas. America's team (Dallas), my foot.

As always, it will depend on which Cows team shows up. Also as always, I'm rooting for the Cowboys but understand anything can (and routinely does) happen.
