E aí, quem são os principais QBs da temporada 2025 até o momento? Eu e o @joaomauriciofa.bsky.social debatemos sobre o tema, falando também de algumas perspectivas e enganos que temos tido até o momento. Muita coisa boa discutida aqui! open.spotify.com/episode/3CBT... #SidelineTalks #NFL

Fantastic analysis here by Bill, grounded and full of insights, so we can take our own conclusions on the trade. This is the type of content we need everywhere, not some clickbait-y, shallow things we see sometimes.

Pretty excited by the Parsons addition to my Packers, it is indeed a big oomph to this team and one that puts us as true contenders (I already had this expectation before, though). Will enjoy the moment, but I'm already trying to understand how the upcoming years will be. Talent will bleed...

Man, I'm so proud to be involved in the #SFB15 and somehow gather this community together. Fantasy is where I found "my people" and it's so cool to be closer to all things NFL. I loved hosting the first São Paulo Live Draft last year and super pumped for the one in 2025, even if I'm not there.

It's on, again! So proud to be a part of this community, to join #SFB15 and to have been able to host the first ever São Paulo Live Draft last year. It's an honor to be invited, thanks @fantasycaresorg.bsky.social, @scottfish.bsky.social, @johnbosch.bsky.social and everyone else involved. LFG!

We haven’t had an actual coach since Dunga was kicked out of the position after 2010. Everyone after him was bad. Coaching a national squad is a very unique task, something that very few (maybe none, at the moment, in Brazil) can do. I do not see brighter days.

I really like that the Bengals are trying to keep Burrow, Chase and Higgins, but how is that tantamount to a Super Bowl? Feels like this team is putting all of its chips into a monster offense (well, kinda, because of the OL) but leaving too many failure options around.

My predictions for the upcoming free agency: Higgins to the Patriots Metcalf to the Bills Hendrickson to the Packers Godwin to the Patriots Bosa (the original) to the 49ers Fields to the Raiders Let's see how many I will get right on this very surprising day!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE 2025 NFL FREE AGENCY IS GOING TO BE. Today is the day, guys!

Why is anyone surprised? Saints will always do Saints’ things. It’s what they do. It’s how we know them.

One year ago, Barkley signed with the Eagles and became instrumental to their Super Bowl win. Who would be this year’s difference maker? Is there such a player this season? I’m not sure there is.
020
GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 11/03/2025
The more things settle, the more I feel that Godwin's contract might be the best during this free agency period. It's clearly a win-win situation.

This is true and I'd guess that it's going to be Ben Jonhson's main focus: increase/enhance Caleb's spatial awareness. Yes, the Bears OL was bad, but Caleb was also bad at dealing with pressures and sacks. Unless his OL becomes a top 3 unit (doesn't seem like it), he'll keep suffering.

Can someone explain why do we have these two "legal tampering days" for the free agency, if we all are going to know who's going where anyways? It's not even a drama-building situation. It's just silly. Get rid of it, NFL.

The regular season of the NFL is about winning. The playoffs of the NFL are about not losing. Wins whomever makes the least mistakes. #NFL

GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 21/01/2025
Not sure I agree. He has nothing to regret, he just signed a very good contract with a team that has a potential franchise QB, young and good players and a tendency to trend upwards. The Bears have been on a loop of failures, that's true, but that can change in a second.

GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 21/01/2025
Good discussion I had with some people, but let's see if I can get some more POVs over here: How much of the Eagles' success would you put on Sirianni and what would be the evidences that would justify it? He seems to be somewhat both underrated and overrated, depending on where you look...

GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 19/01/2025
This Lions loss is a reminder of how hard and somewhat unpredictable the NFL is. Everybody’s favorite on the NFC side, best team this season for some, but still an ending “too soon”. Cautionary tale for Packers’ fans who are looking at 2025 as “the year”.
010
GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 07/01/2025
A bit overdue, but I have to leave it marked that 2024 was my best NFL year, by far. First and foremost, being able to start a podcast with someone who I respect a lot (@joaomauriciofa.bsky.social) and engage with so many cool people who actively listen to us. I am beyond thankful for all of you.

Man, Marvel's animation are so, so good. X-Men 97 and What If are amazing, the styles and fight sequences (especially on the latter) are top tier. Hopefully they can now translate that level of quality to the upcoming movies. We all deserve it!

GabsMafra @gabsmafra.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
This Packers team can go head to head with any team in the NFL, but it's still not ready to be called a Super Bowl team. What's missing is a combination of discipline and attention to detail that is usually what kills a team on the playoffs. It's a very young team, so things should get better.

Hey, @adamrank.bsky.social, you cannot do this and try to reverse jynx your Packers’ expectations. This is not how this works!

Extra-special Sideline Talks episode, where we host @robertmays.bsky.social, from The Athletic, to talk about some less discussed NFL topics, from ownership to plays. His perspectives and approach to the game and his craft are incredible. So many insights here! open.spotify.com/episode/7lAZ...

These past few weeks were a great reminder of how we should be wary of proclaiming anything right from the start. Bryce Young has played well and looked the part. Anthony Richardson has played well and looked the part. Are they franchise QBs? I don't know. But you see things to build on top of.

Great victory by the Packers on Thanksgiving, a needed boost for this team to establish itself as a playoff team. Now, the greatest test, will be next week. The Lions are arguably the best NFC team and I'm pretty sure Campbell has marked this game as a must-win, regardless of records. LFG!

Would you prefer to have your team win the Super Bowl and then be less than mediocre for a decade (at least) or would you prefer the team to be a year-on-year contender, but no guarantee that it will ever get nor win a Super Bowl within the same timeframe?

For all the hate that Quay Walker had been receiving, he’s playing well today (almost had an interception to cap it all). He’s so good, but so, so inconsistent.

The fact that the BEARS have a chance for the #1 seed should tell you how competitive and hard the NFC North has been.

Everything happening on the Titans-Texans game is 100% the responsibility of @benjaminsolak.bsky.social. He called it. He has the script.

Titans-Texans is probably the silliest game of the season. But it’s been silly fun!

The Bears as a whole seem to be crumbling, but Caleb, maybe surprisingly to some, isn’t. Some really nice throws and decisions today, but you have everyone to be good against Flores.

Not sure where Daniel Jones ends up, but I do feel that the 49ers is not his best option, with or without Purdy being able to play from next week onwards. Steelers should be an interesting one, though.
