2025 NFL Season

Mike McDaniel Not Worried About Being Fired:

McDaniel not worried about job as Fins start 0-2

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel isn't worried about his job security, despite his team's 0-2 start to the season.

I think he will be the very first NFL coach to be fired, as soon as Thursday night when the Dolphins get hammered in Buffalo to go 0-3.

Same here. It could be Dabol but i think the Giants will put up with him for the rest of the season plus the GM is a buddy of his. The Dolphins are a mess right now. Probably the most dysfunctional Dolphins team i’ve ever seen since i began following them in 1972. Here are my top 3 teams to fire their coaches this season:
1) Miami
2) NY Giants
3) Carolina

Barring any major injuries to their respective star players, my Superbowl picks are: Bills or Ravens vs Eagles
AFC: Bills defense is suspect they can`t stop Henry and Josh Allen chokes in the playoffs although the same can be said about Jackson!
NFC: Eagles have the complete package. I don`t see anybody stopping them!

Josh Allen has actually been fantastic in the playoffs & unfortunately for him the Bills lost most of the playoff games he’s been in with Allen watching on the sidelines. The defence couldnt stop the Chiefs in the final minute. I agree that the defence is suspect but it’s because of injuries to several key starters. The defence is currently out of 7 starters. Once the defence gets most of their starters back they’ll be okay. Bosa has played great in the Bobby Babich system & they were dominant against the Jets last Sunday. I expect a similar reason tonight although they’ll still need out of key starters across the defence.

I put $1000 on the Eagles winning the Superbowl prior to the start of the season & my currently looks good. However Stephen A now ranks the Bills #1 in the NFL right in front of the Eagles so i may get my dream Superbowl. With the Eagles like the Bills it’ll depend how healthy the team is throughout the season. Also Jalen Hurts is going to be better in the passing game. He’s barely averaging over 100 yards passing per game. He’s relied a lot on his foot speed (like Mahomes) and it increases the risks of getting hurt. Amd not surprisingly it seems like other teams have figured out a way to stop Saquan Barkley. Next Sunday’s game against the Rams should give is an indication of how good this team is. Honestly they didn’t impress me very much against the visiting Cowboys & Dallas nearly won that game. And against KC the Chiefs literally handed them that game due to a couple of key mistakes by the offence.

I took GB at the start of the season, game wrecking D, young talented team, they can beat you with the run, different options at wr, top te and getting great play at the QB. Not to mention a very good coach too.

I can see them wrecking a lot of teams game plans with their D alone.

Buffalo, Ravens, Detroit all have such holes on D

KC is done

Philly would be their biggest challenge and that team is the new dynasty

I agree the Packers are a potential sleeper pick. I like the Packers in the NFC and the LA Chargers in the AFC as strong contenders as sleeper picks!

The Packers have the potential to go deep in the playoffs if they can stay healthy. I agree that Buffalo has holes on the D but they’ve been short of up to 6 starters in every game they’ve played in which is why a player like Joey Bosa has played more than he was supposed to. Some starters will be coming off IR two games from now & two key defensive additions will be eligible to play in November once their 8-game suspensions are served. Heard today that Matt Milano & their top rusher Ed Oliver may be back for their next game 11 days from now. Looking at their schedule the Bills may very likely win 5 of their next 6 games if not all of them.

I agree that the Ravens & Lions have many holes on their D. As for KC the defence may not be as good as last season but their still a good defense mostly because they have one of the best defensive minds in the business as DC. The offense other than Pat Mahomes has been ordinary but should improve once their two starting WR return. Let’s not forget that tue Chiefs were incredibly fortunate last season my winning all of their one- score games. They had something like a dozen of them. Their luck had to eventually run out.

A lot of people have the Eagles running away with the NFC. I dunno. Although they won their two games they didn’t really impress me. Had Ceedee Lamb caught 1 out of the 3 passes he dropped Dallas could have possibly newt them in their season opener. Dak Prescott looked great against them & what saved the Eagles was Jalen Hurts’ scrambling ability. Their passing game is nearly non- existent & must be near the bottom of the league, which is concerning. The Chiefs could have very well beaten the Eagles last Sunday had they not beaten themselves with a couple of key turnovers.

I think a lot of people are underestimating the Rams who can beat any team on any given day. This weekend’s games will give us a better idea of where some of the teams mentioned are at. Rams vs Eagles & Chiefs vs Giants should be interesting to watch, same with Lions vs Ravens.

That Rams spread exploded

Poor SF finally has a healthy CM and everyone else goes down lol

 

[EagerBeaver]

SF is not winning this game

BTW Puka Nucua has 42 receptions and is on pace for 175. The NFL record is 149 by Michael Thomas in 2019.

 

[sharkman]

Same old Bills...can't cover the spread...can't beat the Patriots in big games...and another choke job by Allen!!!

Im glad I didnt take your picks lol

Another swing in the NFL this week. Philly looks human, Jets are still the saddest franchise in the NFL, Baltimore is in deep trouble, Cleveland needs a new coach but has a promising future, and I was very shocked on Buffalo losing at home.

Did anyone see this bonehead play by Emari Demarcado that cost the Cardinals a win?

The Eagles are a fraud. They very easily could be 1-4 were it not for luck & other teams (like the Rams & Cowboys) beating themselves in those games. Boring offense. Great defense. It was also quite obvious that Saquan Barkley would never be able to repeat his heroics from last season. The Ravens are indeed in deep shit. The Chargers & Herbert extremely disappointing. By the way i think in the long run yesterday’s loss may have been the best thing to happen to the Buffalo Bills.

Tell me about it! I had some money riding on that game! Not happy! Didn’t we see a similar play just last weekend?

Yes:

There was also a play like that last year and not sure how Emari missed it. I can't believe we keep seeing the same bonehead plays. It's 7 points taken off the board and you can't have it in an NFL game.
