NFL Thread: 2025-26 Season

IMG_7698.jpeg


Before anyone says anything, yes, I know this is a U.S. presidential election map. The only reason I’m using it for this is because it was easy to use the red and blue colors for. Pretend while viewing this that the red states are on the AFC’s side and the blue states are on the NFC’s side. Now, with all that being said, what you are looking at here is a fun project I’ve been working on to try and figure out which team any randomly selected person from every U.S. state is more likely to be cheering for to win the Super Bowl. I’ve taken many factors into occasion, including division rivalries, common rivalries (Example: the Patriots and the Cowboys both have a rivalry with Pittsburgh, so Cowboys fans would benefit from Pittsburgh no longer being tied for the lead of most Super Bowl wins), places where people went to college, and much, much more. Some states, specifically the Upper Midwest and states without NFL teams I wasn’t able to find enough on so I left them blank (“Undecided”) in this version of the 2025-26 Super Bowl State Map. For my first version of this for the first season I’m trying this, how did I do?
 
Damn, the Patriots really did not beat the allegations, huh? The offense got smothered all game, and Sam Darnold definitely was not seeing ghosts. I usually don't put much stock in narratives about the schedule, but they sure looked like they had the easy path cleared for them before now.

Congratulations to the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS for winning Super Bowl 60! Righteousness triumphs!

Also, that was a pretty decent halftime show. I liked the sequence with the dancers on the power line poles.
 
…well, we did it. I knew we could, but we still went ahead and got it done.

14 regular season wins. Three playoff wins. Only three losses. The best scoring defense in the league. The best point differential in the league. A historically strong defensive core.

I’ve been around to watch both of our Super Bowl winning teams now. And I can’t help but wonder how the 2013-14 and 2025-26 teams compare. One thing is for sure. This has indeed been easily one of my favorite seasons in recent memory and this was one of our best years in franchise history. Congratulations to my Seattle Seahawks for reclaiming their spot at the top of the NFL world and introducing some of my favorite players of all time to the rest of the football community.

The moral of the story- the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl every season a new Kalos Pokémon game has been released. If I had a nickel for every time that’s happened, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

bad bunny ran more yards with the ball during his halftime show than the pats did the whole first half

Brad Holmes needs to be more proactive. His great 2023 draft has been masking a lack of other quality acquisitions, and the team's lack of depth in the trenches has been brutally exposed this year. Go out and get reinforcements. No, Parsons getting injured does not validate the "sit on your hands and do nothing" philosophy of trades/free agency. The Packers are in the playoffs, and you aren't.

Well, he got the Texans to significantly overpay (in my estimation) for David Montgomery, so that's a start. I'm gonna miss Monty, but this was probably the right move. He's in his late 20s, and Gibbs has asserted himself as a true RB1 over him in Detroit. Get value from him while you can and move on. Hopefully those picks turn into something!

Taylor Decker is gone. Probably for the best, to be honest. His body has broken down, and he's not the player he was. However, the offensive line need is even more dire now.
