I was right about the Browns and Texans wins .
Didn’t think NYG would drop this one . But this is just begging for one of DAL or WSH to get in there to steal the division.
Look at DAL upcoming schedule after this one :
@PHI, vs ARZ, @IND, probable loss vs SF,
Vs TEN, vs PHI, and then another game against a not as good this year Seattle team .
I’m glad the Titans got the win . No one is probably catching MIA for that #1 pick most likely.
#2 Re: The Garden » NFL 2026 » 2 days ago
Some big games this week....
Bears vs Falcons
Huge for both. Bears have to get things back on track with Caleb returning and the Falcons...a good team with a shitty record...know they need to get back in it with only the Panthers as their rival this season.
Jaguars vs Texans
HUGE for the Texans. 1-4 and if they're going to repeat last season, the run has to start now. It's also a divisional matchup.
If Jags really want the #1 spot in the playoffs this season, gotta keep chugging along now that KC is back. Same with Buffalo....you can only lose a couple more games if you're hoping for home field.
Ravens vs Browns
First time in eons this divisional matchup actually means something for both teams. It's surreal seeing the Browns anywhere but the division cellar. That's probably where they'll wind up but they've got a shot for the time being.
Rams vs Cardinals
HUGE for the Rams. If they lose.... they'll be 2-4.
Bills vs Raiders
This could easily be a playoff matchup. Raiders don't have much of a cushion in this division. Chiefs will take the division but Broncos and Raiders will battle for a wild card slot. Imagine if the Chargers had been good this year...
Cowboys vs Packers
A must win for Dallas. As we talked about above, the Giants are being handed that division on a silver platter. It's now or never to get back in it. Redskins pretty much guaranteed to get blown out by the 49ers and that Eagles team is a cluster fuck that'll probably lose to the Panthers.
With the Vikings in full control of the division, Green Bay battling it out with Chicago and Detroit for a wild card.
Yeah Hurts and the blood clots is scary shit. I remember back in the days I watched college football, Nebraska QB Tommy Frazier had issues with blood clots. It's why no NFL team drafted him.
I’m pretty sure the Bears win this one . Esp if Penix is banged up and injured . They (CHI) gotta start winning though
Hou v Jax is hard to predict . It’s a division game and Houston has underachieved . But Jax is a top team. I’m guessing HOU pulls off a close win.
Browns and Ravens . I’m gonna pick the division upset again . Browns play the Ravens tough and they aren’t a total pushover this year . Monken also knows aspects of the Ravens offense since he was OC
Rams with an easy win . Cards are a bottom five team .
I’ll pick an upset here only because Buffalo might have a letdown game. The WC contenders are kind of known now and LV can’t afford to drop many .
I think GB wins the Micah Parsons bowl. Both teams can’t afford a loss. DAL seems to be more in chaos. The DC already is getting a babysitter already since they hired Mike Pettine as an assistant of some sort.
I remember Frazier and Charlie Ward too. Those guys and Flutie came in at the wrong time . They would be given a real chance at qb .
#3 Re: The Garden » NFL 2026 » 2 days ago
That was a brutal game yesterday. When you allow 40 yards in the second half as a defense you should win . Those two INT by Darnold were killer . He’s morphing back into the Jets guy. That’s kind of another reason why the “redemption qb on their 2nd -3rd team” has gotten major risk. They either fall back into bad habits or they have way less high level years than someone drafted and developed . But what can you do , entire team revolves around a qb.
Nix is a joke at this point . I had a laugh when he screwed up the clock by throwing it incomplete instead of just getting tackled and forcing Seattle to use the last time out . I figured out what he reminds me of. He reminds me of those crappy qb who get carried by the defense/st and the first thing people mention is the w-l record. Grossman on the Bears (esp the Super Bowl year ) and Vince Young comes to mind.
#4 Re: The Garden » NFL 2026 » 3 days ago
Carolina is winning that crappy South by default.
Yeah I agree...but the Falcons do have a small chance at the crown. If it goes to the wire...Falcons last 3 games are against their division.
Panthers last 3 games...
Steelers
Seahawks
FalconsSaints and Bucs fighting in the cellar.
That DAL defense might be worse than Detroit
Yeah it's bad.
As trash as that Lions defense is....they lead the league in sacks. Interesting anomaly.
Dallas is just lost. They really need a proper coaching staff. I think the team is toast as long as Jerry Jones is alive...he's just not willing to give up any control.
NFC North is brutal this year w/MIN , CHI and GB . They have to deal with the NFC west too. Some deserving team is getting left out.
Yeah this is definitely one of those seasons where a couple teams everyone expects to get in are going to be sitting at home watching the playoffs.
The NFC East is weak this year. One team will go to the playoffs.
NFC South is a battle between Carolina and Atlanta....with Atlanta having a small chance at a wild card.
That leaves 4 or 5 spots available for the West and North.
Chicago
Minnesota
Green Bay
DetroitSan Francisco
Seattle
Los AngelesAll these teams better pray for the Vikings to start sliding...and the Rams need to get their shit together.
Imagine that Vikings team with an elite QB.
Titans are the worst team to watch.
I watched the highlights of the Houston game. I had to watch the condensed game (condensed down to 45 minutes) because a normal highlight video shows almost nothing of the Titans offense. Crazy.
Yeah....it's bad. It might be the worst O line in the league. There was a play where a safety is blitzing Cam and his line doesn't even acknowledge it even though he's literally running straight at him.
Cam clearly has difficulty reading defenses...or his coach/coordinator does. There was a play where there's a hole so big, Helen Keller could fly a B-52 through it...but he doesn't take off. Lamar or Patrick probably get 30 yards out of that play....Titans get an incompletion.
They really do have a shot at 0-17.
This team is so bad....IF they do get the #1 pick, I think they should trade it for a bunch of picks spread out over 2 years and work on a complete rebuild.
Don't draft Arch or whoever the fuck with the pick...it won't make a bit of difference.
The fact that these two teams HATE each other adds to it.
This is one of the main things I miss about football...when so many teams/players/coaches hated each other. The game lost something when this changed.
I’ll go over the Titans stuff here quickly . The OL is bad at LT and interior OL. They were starting a 3rd stringer at RG due to injury . They are a bad OL (bottom 3rd) but that was a bad matchup vs HOU top level defense . Not arguing that they are great but just not the world’s worst OL.
Cam Ward is just bad. That was a typical game where he just doesn’t throw to ball to open or just sprays it everywhere in accurately. You know how Jackson and Allen do that thing where they evade pressure and fling it downfield to an open wr. Ward’s variation is he runs around and throws it to the closest short WR for a two yard gain.
What they should do with that #1 pick is what they should have done last time : trade that fucker down and get multiple picks. Then take the best available LT or DE. Team needs a lot of fucking help
As far as the qb shit, he’ll probably be kept . But they are nuts if they don’t bring in a vet qb. I’ve seen this movie before he’ll get benched in 2027 or before . Trubisky is on their roster as their backup. It’ll be insane if he gets the redemption qb story like Darnold.

Holy shit...you gotta check this out....
If the playoffs started today...
https://i.postimg.cc/BZHBYw38/Screensho … 4735-2.jpg
That's insane.
The matchups....
https://i.postimg.cc/YSRx34Bv/Screensho … 4752-2.jpg
Other than the Bengals getting in, the AFC is pretty predictable.
The NFC is bat shit crazy with a bracket that just begs for an upset or two.
If Chicago walked out of Frisco with the upset, this is how you wind up with a team like the Panthers or Giants going to the Superbowl.
Bears obviously have a legit shot...I'm just pointing out how unpredictable things can get when certain teams don't get in....Rams, Seahawks, Eagles....a wacky team gets home field advantage while the #2 gets the toughest opponent....and an entire division (North) is in the playoffs.
Hurts is out with a blood clot. It’s too bad WSH blew that game because they would have had a chance to contend with the Giants . You’re basically depending on the Cowboys defense getting better . Giants have a clear lane to the division title now even with Jameis Winston.
I think one of Det/GB/CHI gets bumped just cause the division is brutal . Seattle probably noses in there but those Sea-Rams division games could make the difference .
I generally don’t trust teams with kicking issues in the season to go far and that’s something else for the Rams. They really should have won that MNF game . But something that will never change through time , NFL coaches counting on a shaky kicker making a sub 50 GW fg. Unless, you have a top 10 kicker you gotta get the first down and shorten the kick.
The AFC looks like the divisional playoffs is where the great games are . Denver is a fraud. CIN can’t win tough games (at least not to this pt so far). NE probably getting ouclassed.
#6 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tracks missing from the leaked CD's » 7 days ago
Yes, but then where are all these superior songs. You would think they would be a priority for the stuff Slash and Duff worked on. The only songs I would call A-list from those are Hard School and the General. Stuff like Perhaps and Atlas feel more like b or c material. Scraping the bottom of the barrel type stuff.
The only outlier is Monsters.
If time has taught us anything with that saga, it’s that they were blowing smoke with all that stuff about 2 albums worth of stuff , unreleased big guns etc
The best songs made the album . The rest are b sides at best .
I barely listen to the reheated leftovers anymore . Once you get past the novelty of Slash and Duff being on them , they just aren’t very good or catchy .
#7 Re: The Garden » NFL 2026 » 7 days ago
Dear mother of God...the Chargers are so inept. It's an issue of top to bottom incompetence. No reason on Earth for Harbaugh to waste both their challenges in the first half.
Whatever mojo Herbert had is long gone. He's simply not an elite QB and his salary is unconscionable. He should donate it to charity in shame.
If the Chargers front office has a functioning brain, they move on from him. Hell...the entire offense is trash.
Time for a rebuild.
Lions scored a bunch of points...showing once again they'll only be able to compete in shootout games when they go against elite teams.
49ers- Seahawks literally goes down to the wire. Not sure it was the right call but there's no way to get that accurate without bringing lasers in there to measure.
Bears SUCKED today. Jesus. Bringing in Keenum just made it worse because he couldn't do anything. Thank God Caleb is coming back next week.
Giants -Redskins the first tie of the season. Redskins clock management in the final seconds of the game was abysmal.
Vikings.now 5-0. Everyone has laughed at this Vikings team since week 1 due to the QB situation but we're getting to the point where they have to be taken seriously.
Jags beat the Eagles at the last second. I forgot this game was starting at the crack of dawn here or I would've watched it.
Bengals won unfortunately. Dolphins now 0-5.
Patriots finally getting their groove back. Raiders now lost 2 straight.... Mendoza came in towards the end of the game.
Jets beat the Browns in an ugly game.
Steelers throttle the Colts. I knew that Colts team last year was a one year wonder.
Texans blowout the Titans. Titans now 0-5 while the Texans finally win their firat game. They also just acquired Marvin Harrison Jr. Now's the time to go on a run.
I caught the last INT (Herbert-LAC). The one that ended the game. Awful throw . I think he’s broken . They can’t really cut him so bye McDaniel. They have nothing behind him and there’s no benefit to benching him.
That WSH clock mismanagement was all time bad . Just spike it or fling it out of bounds . Giants got saved from criticism because of that . They should have taken a damn knee instead of handing off the ball.
Fantastic game (even w/the gazillion turnovers) between SF and Seattle. Brutal drop at the end that was the decider. The fact that these two teams HATE each other adds to it.
Carolina is winning that crappy South by default.
That DAL defense might be worse than Detroit . NFC North is brutal this year w/MIN , CHI and GB . They have to deal with the NFC west too. Some deserving team is getting left out.
Titans are the worst team to watch . I force myself to sit through these snoozers. Once they get down 14 pts , it’s really hard to not switch the channel . I only favor MIA in the first pick because they have a more difficult schedule . It’s clear that LAC, TEN, MIA are the worst teams. Tempted to also put ARZ there even though they have a win.

Mike Ditka passed today at the age of 86. A sad sad day in the NFL. RIP, Iron Mike.

Rubio can’t control Trump. The guy is a disaster. Blows me away people still show up to his “rallies”.
this is all his doing . Trump’s that is. All he had to do was nothing . Instead he introduced those disasterous tarrifs AND went into Iran.
Every other previous president, Democrat and Republican, had the good sense to stay the hell away. Even Trump’s own NSA knew that it was a dumbass idea (and re-signed). Now every one is feeling the pain and he can’t blame anyone else.
Some idiot, may have been Vance, tried to blame Biden . Can’t wait to hear the excuses after next month.
#10 Re: The Garden » NFL 2026 » 12 days ago
I can’t figure out the Pats . I’d say the Raiders win but it wouldn’t suprise me if NE pulled it out.
Saints are kind of a pretender to me. Gotta wait till MIN hits the murderers row part of their schedule starting next week : IND, Det, BUF, GB and SF. Also I don’t think you can win with pure defense anymore . You HAVE to be able to put up 20 ppg on offense at least . It’s just so tilted towards the offense now.
Packers are another team I can’t figure . The genius’ there finally realized they had an OL problem and signed a bunch of vet OL guys . I personally thought they should have fired LaFleur after last season. He gets a rep as an offensive HC but he likes to dial it down in the second half (like a defensive HC) and that’s why they blow a bunch of second half leads. I favor them this week only because no Williams and GB is more desperate.
Bills and Rams ought to be fun . Rams probably need the game more since the NFC West is brutal .
The Chargers it just feels like one of those guys won’t be there at the end of 2027 (Herbert can be cut real easily). They have the convieninet excuse of blaming McDaniel for this year. Herbert has been around for a while but there still a bit of hype vs actual performance . He’s also sucked badly in the playoff games.
Detroit and Goff are in a weird spot. That offense is pretty much plug in a qb and go. The backup is Dobbs and he’s not very good. They can’t get rid of him till after 2027 at the earliest . That and I think he’s joined with Campbell at the hip . If he gets benched it’s a bad sign for Campbell.
Oh yeah , also agree they fucked up big time 2-3 years ago when they were leading in SF at the NFC championship game . That was their chance. Sometimes you get a lightning in a bottle season and you have to take advantage.
