2025 NFL Week 1 Thread: GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD!

[kuronosan]

Just fucking give Josh Allen MVP already. This dude.

[Weltall]

Dude doesn’t need Derrick Henry or a top flight defense and still carries his team to win after win. Incredible

[kuronosan]

Phew, thought for sure not-Tyler Bass was going to whoosh that

[Mrbeansman]

Fucking hell I turned the game off at 4 mins left to go to bed. Wake up and the Bills won.

Thank you playoff Ravens. James Cook made me sweat that first half.

[Weltall]

My fantasy team scored almost double the 2nd highest scoring team...

Bowers needs to be OK.

• ESPN’s win-probability model placed Baltimore at at least a 90% chance to win in the fourth quarter at some point during these 8 games. Stretching out, with the majority of Lamar's losses, they had at least a 75% chance in that quarter.

• 8 total losses since 2021 in games where the Ravens once held a ≥ 90% win probability.

• That number is three more than the next closest team, suggesting it’s not even remotely close, making it a clear outlier.

• The systemic nature of these losses, across seasons, personnel, and situations, speaks to deeper issues within game planning, personnel decisions, or mental toughness in late-game execution.

Mert, your boy Ayomanor made what should have been a top 3 catch of the weekend, but:

1. The refs got the call wrong
2. The Titans' coach was too stupid to challenge it

im aware.

also i need dj moore to score 40 points tonight to win. i am currently playing the team that scored the second most points this weekend and am assuming i will not win and end up with 3rd/4th most depending on how moore does

[Rhyis.]

this is the first time ive ever had white cam as my fantasy qb and its a beautiful thing. he basically won me my week alone

didn’t see this, hooooooo boy lol

Asked why he did not challenge the play, Callahan said in his post-game press conference that just an elbow does not constitute a catch.

“You’ve got to get a foot in bounds, too, which we didn’t have a clean look at whether his foot was down as well,” Callahan said. “An elbow does not equal two feet, so his foot would have had to come down as well and we didn’t have a clean look. So, the call from upstairs was that it wasn’t worth challenging.”

According to the NFL rulebook, the elbow down in bounds is a reception, based on the second interpretation of the catch rule.

dude is living in the pre dez caught it/megatron catch era

[Rhyis.]

apparently never watched martavis bryant catch a td with his ass (literally)

[Xno Kappa]

For real. I don't think the rule even mentions feet anymore and it's something like 2 points of the body.

[Rhyis.]

what's wild is whoever the titans have in their booth doesn't know this shit... that's the entire purpose of their job

[Weltall]

didn’t see this, hooooooo boy lol

Fans are waiting on his (now late) 12:30 CST press conference to see what his explanation is today lol.

Callahan is 100% done.

[Weltall]

Like I said, if Callahan were to be fired mid-season, we have NO ONE REMOTELY capable of taking over as interim. That's why I still bet they wait to fire him at end of season.

Our new GM will want his own guy and get his wish.

Brian Callahan: "About knowing the rule, I was wrong. I should have challenged the play. I was wrong and I'll own that".

Declined to comment on being told the wrong thing from the booth, just said its on him.
