NFL 2023-24 Season Thread

[Fade.To.Black]

Jim Kelly was one of the most talented passing QBs of his era and was dominant throughout every one of those 4 regular seasons that culminated in successive Superbowl losses - and while I can forgive him for the loss in 1991 by just one point after being targeted by Lawrence Taylor all game.

He shat the bed against the Redskins and twice against Dallas (and as a staunch 49er I was all in on the Bills against the Cowboys frauds)!

Steelers are pretenders this season - Bills should do it easy unless Josh Allen loses his shit and starts throwing picks as he can be prone to do.

Hard to predict Bills-Chiefs after that - the umpires really do give the Chiefs some highly questionable latitude...

Can't remember too clearly but I think a lot of it fell on Thurman.

Felt bad watching them stuff up time and again.....I think the last SB they lost their soul and gave up. Hard to watch.

Can’t dispute any of that. I still believe the next Kalyn Ponga or Suallii should go to the one of the sides competing for the spoon. It’s the main reason I enjoy NFL more than the sport I grew up on. Salary cap doesn’t work.

I understand - but when would a junior player be at the stage to be drafted.

North Queensland first contracted Ponga as a prodigal 16 year old for instance.

For NFL they are all drafted from College when they choose to declare for the draft - whether on a freshman one-and-done scenario or in most cases after 2-4 years of College to build a body of work that enhances your personal draft capital!

(Undrafted rookie free agents from Community Colleges are also the unsung heroes!)

But - below is another reason aside from tanking why the NFL draft can be contentious - especially when top-rated College kids already believe they are superstars and can call the shots!

It corrupts the process and prevents the real needy teams from acquiring the best player assets in the draft that reflects their lowly position.

The hubris that this guy believes he is the unanimous No.1 pick in the whole draft is breathtaking and it would be a massive red flag to me as a scout/recruiter at any franchise!

Texans ran 31st out of 32 teams in 2022/23. Just won a playoff game scoring 45 points. Drafted a QB and edge rusher and now they are a Smokey to make the Super Bowl less than one year on.

Bring on a player draft NRL. Crazy not to.

The entire Junior development in the game would have to change and be removed from the NRL clubs for a draft to be implemented

Lucky my Vegas Raiders missed the playoffs coz the city can now focus all attention on the NRL extravaganza.

This aged well. Hoping to see them up against each other in the wild card. Horns up! 🐏

It was a good game. Nice to see the Lions win and break that long drought.

Wow what a day of finals games


Green Bay, well done smashing the Cowboys.

Super happy for the Detroit Lions (The NFLs wests Tigers). Shows me with the right leadership, chronic failure can be turned around.

Love watching the games but the overly repetitive ESPN ads are tough going.

Mahomes will be heading to buffalo for the first time since 2020, due to covid no crowd were in attendance
Give him hell Bills Mafia let's go Bills

 

[Speed2burn]

Probably the match ups every one expected except maybe chiefs …

I thought bills would nail them, especially after the first half.

Chiefs just keep finding ways to step up in the playoffs

I can think of a system that doesn’t require that degree of change. Just need innovation not naysayers.

Hard to not be happy for the lions. Everyone loves an underdog

Some people just can’t admit they are witnessing greatness, he will catch up to Brady one day

It’s an epic number but hard to rule it out. If he goes to #3 rings this year he’s on track. If he stays on #2 I reckon it could be beyond him.

didn't realise Bass has deactivated socials, Josh Allen is getting in to the good player but non winner class
