2025-2026 NFL Thread

So close, but with so many mistakes on both sides. After all, it doesn't take Mahomes and the Chiefs to destroy the dreams of Josh Allen last second. 🐴🐴🐴

What a mess. More injuries for the Niners and Purdy is the only one left fighting. I expected this to be much closer.

Denver is now a big unknown, but unless their defense will save them (which I doubt), I think we're moving towards a Patriots vs Seahawks SB.

When I quit watching te 9er game SEA was about to make it 17 - 0... You could tell it was headed that way...

And the about that bullsh*t move by the 9er kicker on the opening kickoff? Dang dude.

the 5 turnovers did not really hurt the Bills as they should have.
im glad Bo went deep in OT as he was keep in tack, retained in regulation.

eh I beg to differ: It was 5 times they had the ball and then gave it away. Even if the donkeys didn't score with each one it kept the Bills from scoring. I firmly believe that you can only say "they didn't hurt" if they win despite the 5 TOs.
And the very last one, the interception/yank away that would have got them into the red zone definitely did.

Crazy that no one picked up on his limp after they got the ball in place for the final FG try. I guess it was a very slight limp though.

Jarrett Stidham will take Nix's place. John Gruden loved this guy when he was with the RAIDERS none of us fans did, lol.

The turnovers are largely the reason they lost not the PI that wasn't. True the PI effectivly ended the game, but if bills had scored on even one of those possesions...

Few teams can come back and win when you give the ball to the other team while driving the ball and they did that 5 times.

The win is meaningless for the broncos - Bo is out, and I think for the most part they'll not recover from losing the QB

Agreed.

And there were two PI calls on that last drive in OT. The first one, which I believe is the one to which you are referring to, was a bad call IMHO. The second was a good call. Again IMHO.
 
twi knew that last QB sneak was costly?
Nix is Nix'd for the rest of 2025 playoffs.
I saw 4 back-up QB kick butt against the Broncos including that Chief one this season.
hopefully Denver can have Jarrett Stidham play as well as they did
as their defense has been wining these games.

my point was both teams went into OT with a chance to win.
what ever happened in regulation was erased.
anyways, about the bronco game and future
I used to coach sports so we have a different outlook than say a sports pundit who earns a living by clicks.
just reading some headlines on duck duck go states negative as they can only muster as
the Broncos are finished, done for.
well they have a full week of practice with Jarrett Stidham who is a professional athlete.
and those pass interferences were unfair.
the forgot to realize that the defense was out in Mile High for 5 quarters of football as they were tired in the fourth quarter. that leads the defense to grab, hold and get penalized.
the first interference in OT was called early in the pass route as CBS didn't show on the replays.
the last was was blatant as the defender could be ejected to that outburst.

the Bills played great though. they should hold their heads higher than the interests today demands.

The point is, if the Bills hadn't turned the ball over so many times, there would be no OT - so those turn overs did contribute to the Bills failing to beat the broncos.

Its like people complaining about the bad PI call, yes it was bad, but if the Bills took care of the ball, and scored, then we'd not be talking about the call or the OT

They put themselves in a position to lose the game with those turnovers not win the game

my bafflement is the whole turn-over aspect of the game gives Denver a false sense that they did not deserve to win.
as "oh buffalo screwed up....."
in reality Denver caused those turnovers on great defensive plays.

the internet and media can't fathom Denver moving on today
especially when the other aspect of a Mahomes-less path for the Bills to take to the Super Bowl was annoying as well.

the game was great, any team deserved to win and "move on"

Or (and most people seem to take this view), Denver's Defense was so good they were the reason for the turnovers. So it wasn't a false sense of deserving to win.

The denver bronco's defense is ranked #2 in the NFL, so I think that side of the ball very much contributed to the Broncos making it to the playoffs, and also wining last night's game.

Its all for naught now, without their star QB, the odds of moving forward are significantly against them
