2023-2024 NFL Discussion

Sigh, bye bye 49ers. I don't care who you are; you are not going to win a game when you throw 5 interceptions. For the most part the interceptions were not even good defensive plays but terrible throws.
Come on! Ravens mounted a very strong defense.
 
Been meaning to comment on this all week but kept forgetting... Did anyone else notice the Tennessee Titans wearing the old Houston Oilers uniforms last week? Titans used to be the Oilers. I found it a bit funny that the Titans wore the 'throwback' uniforms when playing the Houston Texans. ;) It brought back a lot of memories from when the Oilers were in my Browns' division. One memory was when all the commentators and annalists were calling the Browns division the weakest in the NFL all year yet they sent three teams to the playoffs; Browns, Steelers and Oilers. Somehow that just didn't seem to equate to the weakest division in football. ;) Actually, if either the Steelers or Bengals can win out, the division could send three again. Of course the Ravens are in and the Browns are the next thing to assured. If either the Steelers or Bengals win out they would be 10-7 with a decent chance to make it.
I did not see the game, but that is pretty funny. A lot of folks like those old Oilers uniforms, but I always hated them. That powder blue or whatever- ugh....

I do think they kept the Oilers name for a couple of years when they moved to Tennessee, though, so I reckon it's a legit throwback.

Yep, they kept the name, logos and colors for two years after they moved. That answer has to be credited to Bing search, not me. ;)

Lordy but I'm antsy about the Thursday night game between the Browns and Jets. In either of the last two games they are 'win and in'.

I hope that Hopkins can kick but doubt it. The Browns DID sigh former Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad on Monday but have yet to say that he will be the kicker. I think they are just waiting on Hopkins final status.

Kind of looking for opinions on this. Personally I think they need to change something with the NFL salary cap. When a player sustains a season ending injury they are still a hit to the salary cap. I think, only if the injury is season ending, their money should be removed from the cap.
 
This is true and the 48ers just scored with a touch over 6 minutes to go so you never know but it still does not look good.

For me the next big game is the Thursday game with the Browns and Jets. If the Browns win they clinch a playoff berth.
The Ravens can clinch the AFC North tonight, if the Browns lose to the Jets.
make it happen!😬

LOL! Hey be nice. Ravens don't need the Browns to lose, they just have to win over either the Dolphins or Steelers. I WILL say that the Ravens have a tougher close than the Browns with Miami and Pittsburgh while the Browns have the Jets and Bengals. Ravens lose both and the Browns win both the Browns take the division but I don't really see that happening.

Do you know that, while not something that is likely to happen, it is still possible for all 4 teams in the AFC North to make the playoffs. That would actually be kind of cool.

WOW! I just saw that Flacco got player of the week for week 16.

The Browns will miss Amari Cooper against the Jets but still a nice TD drive for Cleveland to start the game. With all the injuries for the Browns ya just gotta appreciate Njoku and Ford and what they have done to anchor the offense.

Sigh, can't say I'm happy with the Jets' first drive, also a TD. ;)
 
It looks like the ravens will have to deal with the hard way. 😬
 
I'm not surprised that the Browns are ahead at the half but 34-17?? Take away a pick 6 thrown by Flacco and the Browns are totally dominating this game.

(hehe) go Miami. ;)
 
How 'bout them playoff Browns. :)

Who would have thought that after losing Chubb, and then Watson, the Browns would even come close to making the playoffs. I never thought that I'd say this but they made a good move signing Flacco. Although I credit most of the success to the defense Flacco just may be a better fit for the offensive scheme than Watson... Now if he would just quit the interceptions...
 
Quite honestly I have no faith that the Ravens will get to the SB. I am not a fan of Lamar Jackson. More nimble linebacker than world class QB. But I can still dream.

One never knows... They always say that defense wins championships and the Browns and ravens have the best in the NFL. I would feel a lot better for the Browns if they still had Chubb on the field but you never know.

LOL! They would have to shut down these forums if the Browns and Ravens meet in the playoffs to keep off each other's throats. ;)

No slight on the Ravens but the Browns have already shown that they have the ability to beat them. I think the team to watch out for is the Dolphins.
