NFL 2024 regular season
- Thread starter K Douglas
- Start date
Cousins had over 500 yards passing last night to set a new Falcons record. Before the start of the season they were being ridiculed for signing him.
It was just great to see a QB stand in the pocket and deliver accurate strikes to receivers. Not in favour of these QBs who run at the least sign of pressure
okay five games into the season, revisiting my predictions / follows :
Chiefs 3-peat ?
- Looking likely
how bad Aaron Rodgers / Jets gonna be ?
- bad and gonna be worse, coach already fired and Rodgers gonna pout
how good will Jim Harbaugh 's Chargers be in year 1 ?
- loos decent so far, too early to tell, they gonna feast on the weak LV and Denver in their division. At least they have a QB1.
Joe Burrow and Bengals collapse and coach getting fired finally ?
- in a downward spiral, coach on hot seat
Jared Goff / Lions taking a step forward ?
- looking good so far
Jordan Love / Packers taking a leap forward ?
- not looking good
Can 49ers win with a mediocre QB in Brock Purdy.
- not a good start, too lazy to look up strength of schedule. Mediocre
On the other hand a lot of drama in college football.
Vandy just beat Bama, after bama bear Georgia

They won against Titans, Patriots and almost started a Super Bowl parade.
The fact that Hackett is still there is mind boggling. It is the offence that has been pathetic.
And Rodgers too has not been good so far this season. 2 out of the 3 picks in the MIN game are definitely his fault (the first one partially we can say). He overthrew one and threw to the wrong location on the other (not the outside shoulder).

Robert Saleh was escorted out of the building after firing. Not allowed to say goodbye. Notice the flag of Lebanon on his arm at the London game. That said it all.
Thor finally wins a game. The Browns should change their handle to the Cleveland Fuchsia and Joe Flacco is God.
Update to a Blazing Saddles punchline: and now for my next trick, Derrick Henry.
Having Urinating Tree recap the week is a brilliant move by the NFL.

Brock Purdy carved up the Seahawks with his arm AND legs. And come to think he was selected by the 49ers with the final (262nd) pick of the 2022 NFL draft known as Mr. Irrelevant. In the mold of Joe Montana and Tom Brady, Brock Purdy is the best pure passer in the NFL today. Hats off
I only made 1 bet in my pool today.
I had the Browns at +8.5
We start the season with 1,000 points. I sat out the 1st 2 weeks just to get a sense of what's happening. I was at 1,050 coming into this week and put 200 on this game. I also have 50 points on the Jets at 2.5 tomorrow.
You are not allowed to bet more that 50% of your points in any one week.

Early in his career, QB Lamar Jackson of the Ravens was known primarily as a runner. But he has worked diligently to become a very proficient passer. He threw some darts in the victory against the Commanders yesterday. Oh, and he was just as lethal with his legs. Together with the bulldog Derek Henry in the back field, the Ravens might be the best team in the NFL, even though they have 2 losses.
And the kid Jayden Daniels of the Commanders held his own against Lamar. Making one incredible throw after another. A star in the making - in his own right.
Then there was Caleb Williams in London. Early in the season when he wasnt playing well, some pundits were saying the Bears made a mistake in letting Justin Fields go. No one is making that call now. Superb performance against the Jaguars have the Bears humming nicely at 4-2. Vikings, Lions, Packers, Bears. The battle for glory in the NFC North is the most intense.
And then we had the fans in Philly peeing on their own team against the Browns. The Eagles struggled against the stout Browns defence. Instead of lifting up their team, Philly fans (as usual) let their team have it with loud obscene booing. They still werent happy even though their team won. So HC Nick Siriani approached some fans and gave them a piece of his mind. QB Jalen Hurts has lost the form he exhibited on the way to the SB in 2023, frustrating the fans mightily. If they dont rectify, the Commanders might just take the weak NFC East.
Jerry Jones of the Cowboys is not only the owner, he is also the General Manager, with a final say in all personnel moves. Well, the Cowboys have lost 4 straight home games by lopsided margins, mostly because they dont have a running game. Instead of a dynamic runner, Jones brought back washed up Zeke Elliot. So with no running, defences are just teeing on Dak Prescott. Anywhere else and the GM would be fired. But Jones will not fire himself with predictable lousy performances.

And then of course there is Deshaun Watson, QB of the Cleveland Browns. The only player in NFL history with a fully guaranteed contract of $230 million over 5 years signed in 2022. And now the worst QB in the NFL by a wide margin. He cant complete even the simplest of throws. Nothing. To show the potential of these Browns, "old man" Joe Flacco led them to the playoffs last season when Deshaun went down injured. So his poor play is holding back the Browns. And not much they can do as they will take a massive cap hit of about $200 million if they cut him. Which is why the NFL is averse to guaranteed contracts.
Davante Adams traded to the NY Jets as expected

I don't have the heart to bet on the Browns anymore, Watson is just awful. Nevertheless good call something just isn't right with Philly. And the Jets should have covered for you they gave that game away.
Both Caleb and Jayden are going to be very good NFL quarterbacks. That draft class was pretty sick.
I didn't actually bet on the Browns. I bet on the spread.
Based on my metrics, I'll bet on any dog against any team when the spread is between 7 and 10. The teams and their records and all other factors are irrelevant to me.
When I say bet one one team or another I mean with the spread. The Browns have fucked me multiple weeks. I'm done with them. Watson is arguably a bottom 3 QB in the NFL. Now they just traded their best WR. Right when they get Chubb back.
So this week you're betting Titans +8.5 I guess? If Levis is playing no way do I do that, he may be worse than Watson.
