2025 NFL Thread

[MikeDeTiger]

Yes, this should also go on the "what makes you happy" and "good things in the world" threads.

As a non-Cowboys fan, there will probably come a day when I don't care about the Eagles anymore.  For now, they have too many players I don't like.  But, their fans also suck, so maybe there won't come a day when I don't root against the Eagles.  

It reminds me of an interesting phenomenon, though.  I don't have an NFL team and for whatever reasons the Saints thing did not rub off on me while growing up.  Yet, I did inherit the local hatred for the Falcons.  

Irrationally, and unreasonably, I wish doom and destruction on that franchise, and always have.  Why is that?

I don't know.  The Falcons have always been pretty innocuous in my view.  Sort of like hating Rice or UTEP or something.

The Eagles, on the other hand, have the worst fans in all of American sport, and they're top tier among worst fans in the entire world.  Even when I like some of the players on the team, I have to root against them, because their fans deserve nothing good to ever happen for them.  Ever.

Maybe the Browns will give prime time an interview  wouldn't put that past them

Andrew Berry's draft history has been abysmal. During his tenure he has failed to select offensive lineman  wr's or qb's that are nfl starters.The front office keeps blaming the Watson deal for the Brown's woes.

But Denver made a terrible deal acquiring Russell Wilson and they turned things around quickly.

Also, the Rams mortgaged the future trading for Stafford to win a super Bowl. As a result, they didn't have a 1st rd  pick for years yet here they are in the mix for another sb.

Look wher the patriots are 5 yrs removed

The obvious common denominator here is that Berry has had 6 years to acquire talent and isn't very good at constructing a champion. In truth he is a DEI hire or has the owners party pictures. Yet Sefanski has 2 X C.O.Y has been shown the door, Respekt

WTF?.......the Houston/Pitt score was 7-6 when I crashed out after the 3rd quarter last night.  Checked it earlier and it was something like 30-6 final.  DaHell?
