NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

[King Bob!]

Indy is bringing in 44-year old QB Philip Rivers for a visit.

Hurts throw interception, Chargers player fumbles trying to return it, Hurts picks it up and fumbles, Chargers get it back again. Just fall on the damn ball!

 

[Aragorn]

The Colts are bringing Philip Rivers in for a workout tomorrow. WTF?

Eric Dickerson to start at RB and Mike Vanderjagt to take over at K.

 

[Christmas Canon Spock]

What in the wide world of sports is happening with these turnovers? O_O

 

[Aragorn]

Hurts is the first player since at least 1978 (that's as far back as the Elias Sports Bureau goes) to turn the ball over twice in the same play.

If Rivers is signed to the active roster, this resets his HOF candidacy another five years.

Jason Pierre-Paul, who hasn't played since 2023 (and he barely even played), signed with Tampa yesterday.

Good Lord!



Indianapolis started out the season so well.

Bummer for their fans.

Indianapolis started out the season so well.

I think the bummer is that the front office sent away two first round picks, thinking this was their year, then football gods got in the way.

If Philip Rivers plays, he becomes the second grandfather to play in the NFL. Do you know who the first is?

A) Morten Andersen
B) John Carney
C) Steve DeBerg
D) Brett Favre
E) Marcedes Lewis
F) Warren Moon

Spoiler

Brett Favre

This is bullshit. Jones is still on the team.

You want bullshit? Completely different story, but when Jerry Rice joined the Seahawks, the #80 was already retired because Steve Largent wore it. Jerry Rice didn't even ask for it. The GM told him that Largent wanted him to wear #80, and then the GM told Largent that Rice asked to wear #80.

Remember when the Bucs looked like an elite team and Baker Mayfield was part of the (always way too early) MVP discussions? Now the Panthers are in first.

In other news, undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook is getting the start for the Jets. His backup is UFL MVP Adrian Martinez, whose NFL career consists of one kneel down for the 49ers.

Got to love the NFL. Turn on the game. Watch two plays, ball goes to the Bengals, then we get commercials with 40 seconds left in the quarter. So, when they come back, we’ll get one play and then another run of commercials.

Bengals ownership being the tight wads that they are didn't bother to remove the snow from the seats, in violation of NFL policy. If the fine is cheaper than the cost of clearing the snow, that would be the most Bengals thing.

Yep, sadly that's their M.O. to a T.

So. Burrow becomes a Viking in the offseason?

 

[Aragorn]

If the Bengals are willing to trade Burrow, they will be asking for the moon for a QB who gets hurt all the time.
