2024-25 NFL Season

[EagerBeaver]

The Eagles lost the game, and they lost the game because their coach took 3 points off the board by foolishly going for it on 4th and 3 instead of kicking an easy FG. They lost by 1 point and deserved to have this happen to them. As Troy Aikman pointed out, that never would have been done in the NFL 30 years ago.

And the Falcons covered, and they covered because all of you underestimated Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins has been underestimated before, and he taught you guys a lesson others have learned about underestimating him.

Wild wild week in the league.
8 underdogs with outright wins.

Indeed it was a tough week for betters including me! Many underdogs won but like I mentioned previously not all of them were total surprises. The Lions & Eagles losing were mostly due to critical coaching mistakes. The Bengals could have won & upset KC but literally gave the game away due to their indiscipline. So that would have been one more added to the list. However for me the upsets that totally surprised me were the Saints destroying the Cowboys on the road & the Raiders with upsetting the heavily favoured Ravens.

Tua to IR For at Least 4 Games: Skylar Thompson is new Miami starting QB

Source: Fins' Tagovailoa to IR after concussion

The Dolphins are placing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve after another concussion, a source told ESPN. He now will be out a minimum of four games.

This is the best move for Tua whom i was told was planning to return as soon as he got medical clearance. The move will give him time to further evaluate his future & buys the Dolphins time to figure out their options. If Tua ends up missing even more time a QB that isn’t currently available may end up being one of their options. If they’re stuck with Skylar Thompson going forward I can’t see them making the playoffs. They may even end up behind the Patriots in the AFC East!

Fins added Tyler Huntley yesterday as well.
I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s their starter as early as week 4 or 5.
He played extremely well when Lamar went down a couple years back.
I haven’t seen much of Thompson, but what I remember, he’s not a serviceable backup, yet alone starter.
