2026 Here We Come ! ! !

  • And gimme a prediction

The NFL in all it’s grandiosity and flash has pegged Wednesday night September 9th as the opening bell.

In it we get rhe Super Bowl rematch of the (6-11) Patriots and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seakawks. They got a little weaker this offseason, but we just found out Albert Collins is lost for the year as he tore his patellar tendon in practice. How many fragile players can we draft? I guess the airplane was exposed to the power station before it took off.

I swear to God, the 49ers should move back to the toxic waste dump that is Candlestick Point.

It was safer there.

Anyhow, I think we reach the playoffs as a WC and we go 11-6 and finish one ahead of the Seahwanks and one behind the Rams. I think all 3 teams reach the playoffs again.

    Predictions are so tough with this team because its a walking wounded football team almost every single year but here goes:

    I figure that if they could get 12 wins out of that motley crew last year they should be able to do it again this year. The Rams have all the stars on their team but that just never really works out the way it says it should on paper. The Seahawks are not quite the team they were last year and repeating back to back is really a tall order, SB hangover is a real thing.

    Maybe I’m being a homer but I have all 3 making it but Niners, Seahawks and Rams in that order.

    The Athletic put three of our division in the top ten They had the Rams at 1 and iirc seattle either 3rd or 4th, and us at 6th or 7th. My memory sucks. 10-7 playoffs.

  3. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Darnold out of the game with a hip injury. Sacked on the first drive.

  4. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    when they won first SB in 2014 they’d been playing for almost 40 years. You’d think listening to their fans they were Lombardi and Green Bay.

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    hah! yeah, not sure how bad but it don’t look very good.

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    It sure is nice to see Seattle’s defense getting dinged with screens, slants, and underneath shit. AJ Brown out with an ankle injury.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jeez, Maye giving it away. Throws a duck into triple coverage.

    Pats simply gagging this one away. Dropped 25 yard pass and then the pick.

    Fuck. Thought we’d get a gift tonight.

    If it is true they will use CMC less or give him more breaks I will give the Niners 13 wins, color me optimistic, but I see good things even without Bosa. I don’t think he plays a full season, maybe 8 games. I think the rookie WR will have a breakout season.

  9. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Oh I might miss some of the game, going in for total knee replacement surgery tomorrow. Surgery is at 7:50. So I am hoping to be home by 6:00. Of course I will be drugged. Outpatient surgery

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Oh man. Good luck with that.

    My wife has had 3 knee surgeries but no replacement yet.

    Drake Maye the #4 QB in the NFL??? All he has to do is throw it away and the game is tied.

    3 picks, 1 TDs.

    NE is way overrated. They are gonna crash and burn this season.

    • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

      Well if her knee/knees go bad she should just do it, it is life changing, I did my left knee in 2023, went from barely being able to walk around my block to walkingg my dog pain free. It is very painful but the pain eventually goes away.

    • willedav's avatar willedav says:

      Couldn’t believe Maye did that. Worse case scenario they tie game with FG and go to OT.

      Good luck Kevin, hang in there.

    Predicting 11 wins, but hoping for more. NFL is difficult enough to play week in and week out. Key is the first game, i.e., navigating a tough travel schedule this season and a difficult second-half slate, makes it uber important that they take this Oz game.

    Just me, but I think Shanahan has outdone himself (and I dislike the guy) getting the team over there in plenty of time to prepare for this game. Conversely, the Rams have made a tactical mistake arriving late (as Unc pointed out in the previous thread).

    See what’s what tonight (or is it today in Oz? lol)!

  12. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    Well its finally here, feels like it took a really long time for some reason.

    Now teams have 3 preseason games and limits on practices we get to see the first few games are a bit sloppy, like last night.

    One thing about that though is even a couple of losses right out of the gate no longer means its statistically a long shot to win a division. The first couple of games are effectively semi preseason.

    NE literally threw that game away, Drake Maye believing his press releases? Could be.

    Niners fans will make the cricket ground a home game so McVay’s crafty plan will backfire on that front but he still gets to put the travel miles on the division team he most fears, smart move.

  13. 12th Man's avatar 12th Man says:

    I see Greenlaw is on limited practice list with an achilies. I was against bringing him back because of his injury history, but now he’s on the team and has a starting role they need to really baby him through between games.

    When healthy he’s a beast, when.

  14. Bob McMurry's avatar Bob McMurry says:

    Maye still has a huge learning curve in football he was rattled to no end in the SB against Seattle and last night 2nd half he was just awful throwing 3 picks up for grabs and especially the last one already in FG range atleast for OT was inexcusable a more seasoned vet would not throw.

    But hey great for me cause I have Seahawks DST in fantasy football and Maye’s 3 picks helped get 14 FF points a good start for my weekend!

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

      Seattle was playing off coverage early and got more aggressive as the game went on. It rattled Maye. All the picks were desperation/prayer throws. All were in tight coverage.

      This is my deal with Purdy. He’s not nearly as careless but he does throw too many picks.

      • willedav's avatar willedav says:

        yeah watched Orlosky (and stunning Laura Rutledge yeow) go over each of the bad throws and misreads during 4th quarter picks. Still NE was in position to tie game bad as he was and he burned their safety blitz couple times. thought final score could have been lot worse.

  15. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    idk was little surprised NE could get ball into FG range at end vs. Seattle D but they did and even made yardage on ground. Maybe they aren’t in mid season form yet but NE could have at least tied it up which would have been surprise itself on road.

    Seattle running back from ND looks like beast though, bad sign even if Darnold might be out a while.

    I bet 4 out of 5 football fans (including me, and I just read ’em) don’t completely understand or remember the touchback rules that were put into place last season…

Super Bowl Win, Purdy Please
