A Look Around the National Football League, Week Three

| September 25th, 2024


The league makes little sense through three weeks. Let’s discuss.

  • Can’t imagine how popular Dave Canales is right now in that Panthers locker room. He made one of the most difficult decisions for a young coach to make and changed the fortunes of the 2024 Panthers. Andy Dalton isn’t the future, they know that, but players want to win, and those players knew why they weren’t winning.
  • Brian Callahan can say anything he wants, but there is no way the Titans locker room isn’t frustrated with Will Levis losing them games. And he is overtly losing them games with some of the worst decision making we’ve seen at the position. Could Mason Rudolph be any worse?
  • Week 3 Saints is why you don’t overrate anything that happens in the NFL before Halloween. The league’s two-week juggernaut looked like what many of us expected in 2024.
  • The Niners just aren’t the same team when they don’t have their stars. Good roster. Good coaching. But McCaffrey, Deebo, Trent are what make them a uniquely difficult matchup. Without all three of those guys, they become somewhat ordinary.
  • Miami can’t compete with these quarterbacks.
  • How can the Steelers even be considering going back to Russell Wilson? Fields fits that structure perfectly.
  • Baltimore at Dallas was a microcosm of those two organizations currently. The latter never show up for a big game. The former can’t hold a lead anymore. Is either a title contender? I don’t think so.
  • Josh Allen is going to be the runaway MVP if he stays healthy.

  • Who would have thought Vikings v. Packers would be this important in Week 4?
  • Harrison, Nabers, Odunze. Is this an historic wide receiver draft?
  • I’ll just keep asking the question. How long does Trevor Lawrence get? He’s an ordinary player.
  • Why are the Bengals this bad defensively? (And is their season over? Sure seems so.)
  • Detroit does not look like the behemoth many predicted and the reason is their quarterback.

On to Week 4!
