2024 NFL Season

[kjb]

Here is a stat I read on Reddit this morning. The Houston Texans have not scored a touchdown in the 2nd half for the fourth straight game after last night's fail hosting the Detroit Lions. Maybe Houston isn't ready for prime time. At least, for this season. More people want Bobby Slowik (Texans' offensive coordinator) fired more than ever. Well, us Texans had our nightmares. Maybe the losers of tonight's football game may have their own nightmares after tonight. So what will happen when we have...


Dolphins at Rams TONIGHT!

Time for Monday Night Football! Our Omnis will have his Dolphins go from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific Coast, ready to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood. Here's the setup...

--- GAME INFORMATION ---
AFC East meets NFC West in Inglewood.

• MIA Dolphins (2-6, 4th in AFC East) at LAR Rams (4-4, 3rd in NFC West)
• FAVORED: LAR (-2.5)
• OVER/UNDER: 48.5 points

Head-to-head, this one is not very appealing. You have two teams in the bottom half of their respective divisions, and a combined record of 6-10. You still got to keep going even if your team isn't going to go anywhere this season. Every win generates confidence. So if you love either or both of these teams, have some Fantasy League players to watch for, or any betting interests; surely follow this game and root for your favorites. Anyhow, we'll see who will be the winner once this game concludes (or maybe if a tie happens).


Enjoy tonight's game!

It is interesting the difference a year makes. Last year they were talking up Bobby Slowik as the next hot coach. Maybe last year Stroud was so good that Slowik's playcalling was overlooked? I understand they have had some injury issues but good coaches figure out ways around it. Has Slowik let last year go to his head? To me the best coaches adjust to what their players do best instead of trying to fit them into their system. @JohnBM01 have you noticed a difference in his playcalling? I ask because don't watch them much and I am genuinely curious to know if there is a difference between this year and last year

I never really paid attention much to how the play calling is last year compared to now. All I know is that if CJ Stroud is on the field, he'll give the Texans the best chance to win. One complaint fans have is they think Bobby Slowik can be too passive or not trigger-happy. You know... settling for field goals than go for touchdowns. You could even say lacking a killer instinct. Last year is looking more like an overnight success, and 2024 is seeming like midnight struck on the Texans. If we took down the Packers and Lions, we'd be 8-2 and up the AFC standings. Instead, we're 6-4. Heck, we could have been 9-1 if we didn't have that clunker at Blitz24 and kjb's Jets on Halloween.

The Houston Texans are not an S-Tier team... yet. They got to learn to execute better all around to really be taken seriously as a Super Bowl contender. They are A-Tier at best or B-Tier at worst. We got to improve a lot. On the YouTube channels devoted to the Texans, I said if we lose at the Cowboys on Monday Night Football next week, I "demand" coaching changes. Still a ways to go, but this team can be much better even with this recent funk they've been in.

It is time to welcome Week 11 of the 2024 National Football League season. Allow me to take a look at some of the many games coming up...


* The NFC East is in vogue this Thursday night for Thursday Night Football. It's the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Washington Commanders.

* Chicago fired their offensive coordinator. Will it help the Bears defeat the visiting Green Bay Packers this Sunday?

* After fans and media outlets 🤬 on my Texans blowing a 23-7 lead and failing, Joey D's Detroit Lions will face a much easier AFC South team in Detroit- the Jacksonville Jaguars.

* Omnis' Miami Dolphins got a nice win at the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night. Now the Dolphins will see a lot of black and silver on the other side of the field, when the Las Vegas Raiders visit Miami.

* Blitz24 and kjb will see their New York Jets welcome and host the Indianapolis Colts.

* Fezzik's Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Baltimore Ravens in lovely Pittsburgh.

* Kansas City has been tested nine times, and they passed all nine tests. Can the Buffalo Bills finally down the almighty Kansas City Chiefs this season when they host the Chiefs?

* Dolph Drago's Cincinnati Bengals will head from the Midwest to the West Coast and take on the Los Angeles Chargers for Sunday Night Football.

* Texas pride is on the line on Monday Night Football. The floundering Houston Texans will visit the even more floundering Dallas Cowboys. Somebody's season is going to be saved after this match as both teams need a win.


* BYE WEEK: NYG Giants, ARI Cardinals, TB Buccaneers, CAR Panthers


A few notes to pass along:

• CHI fires OC, Shane Waldron; replaced by Thomas Brown
• DAL QB, Dak Prescott, will require season-ending surgery (hamstring)

Get ready for Week 11, GTPlaneteers!

Enn. Eff. Ell. What will this Thursday night provide when the Washington Commanders play at the Philadelphia Eagles? We go to work at 8PM Eastern Time. Enjoy tonight's game!

 

[JohnBM01]

It was 26-18 last night as the Philadelphia Eagles won at home over the Washington Commanders. The Eagles improve to 8-2, and the Commanders fall to 7-4. They are the only two teams with winning records in the NFC East (DAL 3-6 and NYG 2-8).

 

[JohnBM01]

So you're an NFL fan, huh? Well, it's another Sunday of NFL football. Get ready. Plenty of games to choose from. And don't forget tonight's nightcap- Dolph Drago's Cincinnati Bengals will try to take the juice out of the Los Angeles Chargers in Inglewood, CA.


Enjoy today's games!

It’s never easy but the Steelers just about hold off the Ravens in the battle of the AFC North.

Also, I know it was only against the Jags but those Lions are just scary good.

Jets almost won and then they remembered they were the Jets. Up by 2 on their 2nd to last drive with 2 timeouts left, they call one timeout because they couldn't decide what to do on 4th down (they ultimately kicked a FG to go up 5), then they gave up 70 yards in less than 2 minutes allowing a TD (plus burning their final timeout on a 2nd and goal situation for the Colts). On their final drive, Rodgers throws a backwards pass and then acts with no urgency as they lose 13 yards and 15 seconds. Ultimately he gets sacked to end the game. Ullbrich is not a HC, Gardner should be traded before the 2025 draft and Aaron Rodgers should be cut at the end of this year regardless of result.
