MEMO
TO: The Football Gods
FROM: The Good Man
RE: Super Bowl
I'm getting up there in years. Not all that many left. So I ask one question. Who the fuck would it hurt to let the Bills win one fucking Super Bowl before I die? Really...
Thank you for your attention in this matter

No more weekly play-by-play threads, eh? Gonna be weird. It's fine if we have them. I only have access to local games this year and have keyboard issues like the spacebar not working, and Xeliou is still banned, despite the politics board being frozen in time. I know we all can monitor score changes and final scores, so that's all pretty useless without context. |

Xelieu's picks:
Here are how I predict the NFL divisions will go
NFC South
1 Saints
2 Falcons
3 Panthers
4 Buccaneers
NFC East
1 Eagles
2 Cowboys
3 Giants
4 Commanders
NFC North
1 Lions
2 Bears
3 Packers
4 Vikings
NFC West
1 49ers
2 Seahawks
3 Rams
4 Cardinals
AFC South
1 Jaguars
2 Titans
3 Texans
4 Colts
AFC East
1 Jets
2 Bills
3 Dolphins
4 Patriots
AFC North
1 Bengals
2 Ravens
3 Browns
4 Steelers
AFC West
1 Chiefs
2 Chargers
3 Raiders
4 Broncos
If I had to pick who I believe will win the Super Bowl, I would pick the Chiefs, it’s very hard to repeat as champions but the Chiefs are on a roll right now and are loaded with talent and have the best QB in the NFL. I think they have a very good shot at becoming the first team to win it back to back since the 03-04 Pats.
But there are plenty of other Super Bowl caliber teams in the AFC - Bengals, Jets, Bills, Ravens - the Jags, Chargers, Dolphins and Browns could be real good as well. In the NFC the Eagles and Niners appear to once again be the best teams, the NFC isn’t as deep, other than those 2 I could see the Cowboys, Seahawks, maybe the Lions or Giants contending in the playoffs. Of course you never know who will emerge and surprise and who will disappoint. If I had to pick who I believe the worst team will be I’ll say the Colts - they look very weak at a lot of positions and I don’t think Anthony Richardson is capable of being a starting NFL QB, it’s astounding to me that he’ll start right out of the gate, he wasn’t even good in college.
If Rodgers goes down, the Jets go down with him obviously. But I think Rodgers will stay healthy and have a productive season, and the 1-2 punch of Cook and Hall at RB takes a lot of pressure off of him. The Jets have a massively improved offense to go along with a strong defense. I could really see the Jets, Bills or Dolphins winning the East, the Bills have a strong team again although depth at a couple of sports is kind of a concern, and the Dolphins have a good team as well but Tua’s health is always a question mark.

Seems like one of those statements that Xel will repeat whenever Richardson throws a pick. If the Colts finish with fewer wins than the Cards I’ll change my username to sdmoron. |

I see them as a bit like the Justin Fields Bears, with a better coach. |

My grandson spilled an entire shaker of salt on in. I've blasted this thing with umpteen can of air but i still get sticky keys and keys that don't work. "The" comes out as "thee" a lot.
I assumed we would have our regular weekly game threads and this thread would be for news/transactions

I assumed we would have our regular weekly game threads and this thread would be for news/transactions Same with my e key. Sometimes nothing, sometimes someetimees. No spills, though. I mainly wanted to make sure we had a clean post before Frogs came in with his version that puts a poll atop every tab and forces new tabs too soon. |

He should have been rhapsodizing about Temple QB EJ Warner (Kurt's kid) already.
Maybe Mom took his internet away for good?

He’s here reading every post, just waiting for the most dramatic moment to “return” like we’re all on the edge of our seats. |

Given that Frogs always waits until people notice he’s gone, I’d say Sunday is a good bet. |

Since the NFL sold the Game Pass to the British DAZN company, and they simply dropped the ball entirely, I will have no Game Pass and thus I can hardly watch any games.
The few games which were broadcasted live on television also shifted to a new channel, which is also known for its utter incompetence (Pro7 to RTL).
The NFL totally screwed it for international fans.

Travis Kelce hyperextends knee in practice, not looking good for Game 1.

Tom Brady:
Brady is constantly talking about those two defeats. It's interesting to me that he doesn't seem nearly as heartbroken about losing to Nick Foles despite putting up one of the best QB performances in history.
