Good news, SkinnyPupp!

Lamar is back on the practice field.

SkinnyPupp · 10-22-2025, 03:58 PM

That's great! Now if the offensive line and entire defense all start playing well, they might have a chance to turn this season around

People thinking the Bears are an easy win are in for a rude awakening

whitev70r · 10-26-2025, 05:07 PM

Some notables for the week (so far):

1. Pats are for real ... we have a happy Pasta. They seem to be firing on all cylinders.

2. Broncos are for real ... is the Sean Payton trade finally starting to make a return for the investment?

3. NYJ gets their 1st win ... over Flacco and the Bengals.

4. Ravens get back on the W column. From boxscore, it looked like an easy win. Was there a bit of 'gamesmanship' on the Ravens? Said Lamar was limited, had the Bears prepping for Lamar, then on Sat, said he was out. NFL investigating - https://frontofficesports.com/lamar-...investigation/ - Baltimore could be disciplined for initially listing Jackson as a full participant in Friday’s practice and then, on Saturday, downgrading his game status to out while also retroactively changing his Friday practice status to limited.

Ravens looked like the Ravens again for the first time since the Bills game. And they were led on offense by SNOOP HUNTLEY! I swear the team drills hand catches like crazy these days, after top WRs dropping for most of Lamar's early career, and it sure paid off here with Snoop's "good enough" throws being caught. I had a feeling it would be worth staying up to watch even with Lamar out. This was the true 'make or break' game and now they control their own destiny at 2-5. I don't know if this is a 12-5 team at this point, but I'm into watching them try. Run blocking has to improve; Ricard barely took any snaps in his first game of the season.

I don't understand the practice designation thing... If they were saying Lamar was out all week and then he played, then I see an argument for shenanigans. They did it the other way though, clearly by accident, and I don't understand what the advantage would be. Like if you game planned for Lamar, it will probably be the same plan for Snoop, except even simpler. Bears (fans and media anyway) seem to be looking for excuses here, but maybe it's technically a rule break who knows. With all the gambling stuff going on, the league is probably going to be super harsh on it.

I then caught the end of the JETS game beating the Bengals as they BUNGLE a huge lead to lose the game at the end

The Brownies BUNGLED a career Myles Garrett 5 sack game to lose their game

And then the Squealers BUNGLED a 9 point lead at half, as they continue to predictably fall apart as soon as the schedule started to get tough

Good day of games!

SkinnyPupp · 10-30-2025, 08:20 PM

3-5 baby!

Lamar looks to be in full form in the pocket, but his one run looked slow. I am way more concerned about Patrick Ricard who got fucking dump trucked constantly in this game. He might be like 40-50% back, and I hope he can get into form because their run game relies on him heavily.

Defense with 3 takeaways and holding the Dolphins to 6 was nice, but some of the credit has to go to the Dolphins just sucking. Still, defense has to make the plays, and they did. Still some moves to be made, and EDC is probably on the phone before this game even ended

"Boring" game but I was rocking a chub the whole time. Just wish we got another Jackson Five

whitev70r · 10-31-2025, 08:27 AM

Lookout AFC North ... Lamar and the Ravens are back.

And didn't miss too much, right in the thick of it, a game behind division lead.

Seems like a reasonable fine for what was most likely an error. I'm just glad they're not losing draft picks like teams actually attempting to cheat

SkinnyPupp · 11-02-2025, 04:31 PM

Wasn't planning on staying up to watch games tonight, but I woke up at 2:30 and since DST ended, games were just starting so I thought what the fuck, get up and watch some games.

My god what day of ball! Some INSANE games today. I'll post more thoughts after I sleep. I might even stay up for SNF but waiting an hour will be rough (the downside of no DST)

whitev70r · 11-02-2025, 07:38 PM

Week 9 notables:
1. Steelers are for real ... not, they got lucky. Their D woke up but they are so inconsistent, I expect them to go back to their pattern of win 1, lose 1, win 1, lose 1.
2. Chicago vs. Cincy ... WTF? Gunslinging Williams vs. Flacco. Flacco almost twice the age so a lot of fun in that arena! That finish !!!
3. Min vs. Det ... sometimes a player just has a presence that can affect the outcome of the game. JJ McCarthy is one of them. Stats wise, he was terrible compared to Goff but Minny pulled out the W.
4. Panthers over GB - ??? puzzled about this one. How? Bryce Young with a QB rating of 48!
5. NE & Denver keep on winning
6. Buffalo Bills somehow always beat KC so no surprise there.
7. Want to see Ariz > Dallas on Monday

https://www.nfl.com/news/commanders-...ry-vs-seahawks

Jayden Daniels suffers a dislocated elbow after the Seakhawks 38-14 win over the Commanders. -expected to miss several games.

Impressed by Darnold's play this season. He cooked the Commanders with 4 TDs and threw for 361 yards.

Seattle's defence is good too. -relentless pass rush and two interceptions against Washington.

SkinnyPupp · 11-03-2025, 02:29 PM

So yeah, the main game I watched was Colts @ Steelers of course. I need the Steelers to lose, and the Colts had the best record in the league. Thing is the Colts season has been easy up until now, with the Steelers the first real test. And holy shit did they fail! Steelers completely changed their defense coverage for this game, so they were basically unscouted and forced 5 turnovers from the Colts offense (and 1 on special teams). They still only won by 1 score, and I wouldn't expect this to catch other teams by surprise. But that sucked for me

I was also watching the Panthers, another pet team of mine, as I like to follow shitty teams that I think have potential with a great QB. They beat the Packers in a windy cold game with Rico Dowdle having another great game. It's crazy, he has these two 200 yard games while Hubbard is out, so when Hubbard comes back they split reps. Coach gets questioned on it, says yeah that didn't work, this guy is better than our expensive franchise guy, and he'll take over again. Boom another W

Next was the Bengals, with Flacco having another all time great game, and they BUNGLE it. That team is just broken.

Bills did a great job of getting to Mahomes all game, kept him down to like 50% completion rate and beat the Chiefs in a regular season game, as they always do. They are like 5-1 now, but 0-4 against them in the playoffs.

Then the Seahawks blowout, which I called before the game. Commandos defense is just old and beat up, and Darnold had nearly a perfect game picking them apart. Couldn't feel worse for Jayden Daniels though, that was a gruesome injury. Still no report yet that I have seen, so who knows how long he'll be out. At least it was his non throwing arm.

Wait, WOT?

SkinnyPupp · 11-03-2025, 06:38 PM

Arizona holds Cowboys offense scoreless in the first half, great showing by them. Jake Brisket making it look like Kyler is the bust, rather than Marvin Harrison Jr

whitev70r · 11-04-2025, 07:12 AM

Also:
Brisset contract $6.5M/yr
Prescott contract AVG $60M/yr

SkinnyPupp · 11-04-2025, 01:45 PM

Jets in sell mode at the trade deadline, picking up three first round picks total for Quinnen Williams (Cowboys) and Sauce Gardner (Colts). They tried but couldn't move Breece Hall

Seattle gets Rasheed Shaheed from the Saints, great great pickup.

Ravens got Dre'Mont Jones yesterday, for a 5th that turns into a 4th if they make the playoffs. Have to think they'd make bigger moves if their record was better.

This is a good trade for the Colts. They got the Sauce now.

So... who would have thought 10 weeks into the season the Broncos... and, pending tomorrow's games, the Colts and Patriots possibly... could all be tied for the best record in the league at 8-2 on the season? hahahaha

whitev70r · Yesterday, 09:46 PM

A bit of a ho hum week for me ...
1. Mia > Buffalo ... any given Sunday.
2. BAL ... might just run the table from 1-5 position.
3. NYJ > Cleveland Browns with Justin Fields throwing a total of 54 yrds with one play that went 42 yrds. He had 5 more completions on the stat sheet that made up the rest of the passing yards, 12 yrds and they got the W. Is there a way to give both teams a L?
4. NE > TB, didn't see highlights but looks like the only interesting game this weekend.
5. SEA, LAR, DET all put up more than 40 pts.
6. Sunday night game ... great game for the Chargers fans in the stadium as Steelers looked inept. It's week 10 which is about the time in the season when the clock strikes midnight for Rodgers and he starts to show his age. He embodies the phrase, 'it's all downhill from here.' Tomlin first 'losing season' coming.

SkinnyPupp · Yesterday, 10:02 PM

Another Ravens win while the Browns and Squealers bungle their games! I only wish the Bungles weren't on bye so they could lose too

This was a great game for the defense, as the Vikings defense also had an incredible game making it tough. Also Andrews, Likely, and Bateman all had drops which would have led to scores, so that problem has flared up again a bit. I was pretty nervous when the refs decided to make bullshit calls to facilitate a comeback, including a fake DPI when the ball was on the ground 10 feet behind the players, and turning back an INT that was in no way "clear an obvious" against the call. But the Vikings had massive problems with false starts, getting called 8 times, including one on the QB which I don't know if I've ever seen before.

I went to bed after the first half of the afternoon games, since they weren't competitive. Woke up in time for the Squealers to get their ass beat by the West Coast Ravens. It was a glorious game but that garbage time TD killed my boner. Chargers winning by 3 scores is basically a blowout.
