Title: 2025 NFL season
Post by: The Zipp on August 25, 2025, 02:08:28 PM
we are lucky to have multiple football leagues to follow - those who thumb their nose at the CFL have been missing out.  the "big league" starts up and i am excited to see how my Steelers do with a geriatric hall of famer leading them. 

lots of good stories going into the season, the Eagles are going to be contenders to repeat.

doing a trip to Dallas for Sunday night football at the end of September - going to see my buddy Jerry (the Netflix documentary is very good)

I can hardly wait for Scott Hansen to say "7 hours of commercial free football..."

Quite the business of NFL payrolls where a Qb and now prolific pass rusher make over $100M combined
Always cheered for the Packs and now - YAHOO

Can't wait for the Bengals to go 2-0 against the Steelers.

Teams that are interesting.... Rams, Vikings, Broncos Chargers

I follow NFL  a bit... Sean Payton is fairly unpopular in general, but when he picked their current qb, he was somewhat laughed at, but Payton was Raving about the guy. And he seems to have been right.quick turnaround would be cool to see.

Chargers... for an obvious reason, the laughs. Cause of their crazy coach.

Vikings... I like their coach,

Rams, coach seems like a good guy  and their D line is great, very funny guys on that line. And they are monsters. Another quick turn around team.

Edit, for the Giants fan " [EmpireSportsMedia/Connor Hughes] "I was in the #Giants locker room talking to Jaxson Dart after the preseason game with Jets when Brian Daboll walked over. He shook Dart's hand, looked him straight in eyes and just said 'I love you.' No emotion, no hug. Said it, then walked away.".

Lol... new NFL season :  "Let the hokum begin"

... raiders just to see how the old guy does with a new team.

I will also enjoy, in a mean way, watching Aaaaron fail, and the new Jeff fisher take his team to another mediocre season. And be hailed as hof.

Second half was miserable for the Dak and Lamb combo and
the mighty Eagles,who didn't cover the spread,were victorious

the weather delay sucked the life out of the game...first half was great.  I fell asleep and didn't see the last bit.  Lamb dropped some catchable balls for sure.

Some decent excitement and yes indeed, solid Kelce hit

Owners, union, league mucky mucks have gotta correct that ability for teams to take victory formations with 2 minutes or less. Paying public is robbed with so many wasted " non-playing" moments. Their 40 second rule is so boring

Rodgers 4 TD's in his first game as a Steeler - Ramsey with a beautiful hit to seal the victory

Baker with ice in his veins

This is why the Argos can't draw flies, fans drive the hour and a half and take in the NFL games. Change the field and rules all you want to be NFL like, but those fans aren't coming back to the CFL

Winnipeg boy, Theo Johnson, with the Giants opening touchdown.

Has some drop issues, fix that up and he could be a legit TE#1.

Edit: Two TDs now. Keep cooking boy.
