2025 NFL Season 🏈 Weekly Discussion Thread – Week 10

Last week we left off with a...

I really hope I don't have to eat these words.

Now I have to eat these words. Yay. This team didn't show up. Uninspired. Distracted. Too full of themselves? I don't know but this young team needed this game to learn that is that you can't take anything as a sure win. I hope this means they can use this to "lock in" again and not play like garbage

That being said, I'm not enthused when our head coach is quoted like this:

Dave Canales on calling more explosive pass plays: “I’ll call them more when we have more success and those things come to life for us.”

He's basically saying that the team as a whole isn't there and honestly, I'm inclined to agree. We're halfway through the third year in the Bryce Young experiment and, unfortunately, I don't see that he's going to really figure it out. We may keep him on for next year because it's a cheap rookie deal, but I really do think we need to look out to get someone new. What scares me is that we are going to end up with someone like Kyler Murray, who I like even less. People are crying about the "wasted value" on the trade to get Bryce, but at this point it's "whatever" to me. It's done and doesn't matter. What matters is what we do going forward and a new QB is it.

Anyways, this week is the Falcons. They aren't the same birds we blanked 30-0 early in the season. I'm going in with no expectations, hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

FRAUD WATCH 2025:

🚨🚨 DENVER BRONCOS 🚨🚨

The Lord continues to rest my bolief in this team. The offense leaves a lot to be desired but the defense might be special. They had a good showing against a struggling Philly team, beat up on some bad QBs, and had decent to mediocre performances against Indy and San Diego. We're 10 games into the season and I still have no idea what that means.

The nerds say they're at least better than the Pats, but the nerds also say Maye(beeeeeeh) is gonna be the one that sav way better than the Bover thrower extraordinaire himself. I'm inclined to agree with the nerds on that one. I can't believe the Patriots are good again. It's so unfair. I fucking hate sports. You don't get to have another franchise QB without spending at least a decade in purgatory! Fortunately, those who have skipped that process (Colts, Packers) have been cursed to under deliver. Still, if I have to watch Robert Kraft hoist another Lombardi trophy, I'm gonna lose my freaking mind 🦶 🗑️

Anyway, bottom line is this: Denver is 8-2, everyone hates watching this team, and no one thinks they're legit. Can't say I blame them. Denver has a mini-bye after a pretty grueling schedule (travel wise) and is set to face off against the Chiefs who are coming off of a real bye. The only outcome that would surprise me is if Denver delivers a beat down over KC. That is almost certainly not going to happen. Denver has played KC well in the Payton era and was a blocked FG away from sweeping the series last year, but they've only beat Mahomes once in his career. I expect a close game that doesn't change anyone's opinion about the legitimacy of this team. Bo my god, I don't think my heart can take it.
