NFL 2025-2026

Cardinals squander a 21-6 halftime lead at home to the Titans. And the comeback wasn't because Tennessee was so hot offensively, it was because the Cards' defense was so pitifully awful.

The 'prevent defense' rarely works...and it works even less when your entire team doesn't know how to tackle. That was the third last-second loss in a row for the Cards.

This happens far more often than one would think it does. Why do guys feel so inclined to drop the football? Is it too heavy?

I had a coach who would get red in the face if someone brought up the "prevent defense". "The only thing it prevents is winning." he would bellow....

I had a good weekend of Schadenfreudeball. I’ll take it.

For the majority of fans, that’s as close as we get to a championship.

Bengals acquire QB Joe Flacco in trade with rival Browns

The Bengals turned to their division rivals for a much-needed solution at quarterback, acquiring Joe Flacco in a trade with the Browns.

I had high hopes for former UW QB Browning. I hope this isn't the end of the road for the kid.

I am sad to see him play so poorly, but he will probably need a day job pretty soon. He has survived in the NFL for quite a while now.

Cam Skattebo. I effing love that guy.

 

[Rich Fiscus]

So apparently the Giants have found their QB. As much credit as Skattebo and the O-line deserve for that win, Jaxson Dart was nearly perfect. Even his ball placement was spot on. His guy always seemed to have a better chance at the catch than the defender.

With or without Jalen Carter, that’s a Vic Fangio defense he picked apart.

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

Cam Skattebo. I effing love that guy.

He does this thing with his head like he's shaking off a concussion after every carry. The way he runs, he may well be doing just that!

I noticed that too, and it's made wonder if he has Tourette's or something. Either way, dudeberry is a beast and joy to watch.

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

Ahh... GIMF:

 

[Gaolee]

He could be the next Larry Czonka. As I recall, Czonka was one of the few people who could get called for unnecessary roughness while running the ball. Even Marshawn Lynch didn't manage that.

 

[dwm74]

Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Cardinals cough up ANOTHER 4th quarter lead, and lose again. At least they're consistent.

 

[mrpackerguy]

Pack wins but IMO that offense is doing nothing more than sleepwalking through the season thusfar. What's up with J-Love starting every running slide 2 yds shy of the 1st down marker with no defender within 6-8 yds of him?

Flacco almost beat Pack for 2nd time in 3 weeks

Now he's about to beat Tomlin on his third team.

I guess Thursday is the Grandpa Bowl? I wonder if that's some kind of a record.

Keep your cleats handy. You aren't too far away. Tomlin might call since you don't live in your fears, you live in your hopes.
That's a take on a Tomlin quote at the end there for those who may not know.

I’m not positive, but it sure looked like Chicago’s O-line turned a corner last night. The running game was obviously improved, but what struck me was the screen game. I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw them execute a screen competently.
