Just an open page for me to drop notes/ideas/things I'm hearing/seeing/working on or just caffeinated or lack of sleep thoughts on football items.
12/15 MON
(5:27amET)
-- Today's Agenda...
Week 15 TNF game report will post Monday midday.
I’m working on the Executive Report all day ahead of MNF...planned to post 6-8pmET.
MNF Betting overview and my bets will post ahead of MNF.
-- Injuries from Sunday roundup...
Patrick Mahomes (ACL) = Done for the season. Should be ready for Week 1/2026.
Davante Adams (hamstring) = Very likely out for Week 16 because it’s TNF...then Week 17 is MNF, but likely not back for that game MNF at ATL either.
Christian Watson (chest) = Fractured clavicle? Collarbone dislocated and fractured. Scarier than you’d think. Taken to the hospital in an ambulance. It can be a little life threatening depending upon where anything broken has shifted/moved to.
Rome Odunze (foot) = Stress fracture...likely down for the rest of the reg. season.
Luther Burden (ankle) = Tweaked. Unknown status for Week 16.
Javonte Williams (chest) = Was out for a while in-game, then returned. Likely skips practices this week and is playing Week 16.
RJ Harvey (ribs) = Unknown severity.
Woody Marks (ankle) = Missed the rest of his game. Unknown severity or status for Week 16.
Devin Neal (hamstring) = Strain...possibly out ROS.
Devaughn Vele (shoulder) = Left game in a sling. Sprain or break. Potentially done for 2025.
Ricky Pearsall (knee) = MRI needed...could be done again.
Bam Knight (ankle) = Unknown severity but it happened very early and he never returned. Potentially a season ending sprain?
Bhayshul Tuten (finger) = Fracture/dislocation/sprain
Micah Parsons (ACL) = Done for the season. We’ll see about his 2026. Could be a choppy return.

-- In advance of tonight’s game...
Miami Dolphins record this season when they throw 30+ times 0-7
Miami Dolphins record this season when they run 30+ times 6-0
-- The Chiefs have fallen, and the world is rejoicing...because we hate sustained success and love to kick football characters when they are down...

I do kinda enjoy the Nick Wright torture online, not gonna lie.
-- Betting streaks broken...
A 5+ year streak was broken Sunday: https://x.com/sbbreakers/status/1999899619208380520?s=43
One of the two broke this streak: https://x.com/toddfuhrman/status/1999872333289578918?s=43
-- Betting streaks continued... https://x.com/bfawkes22/status/2000363617086996529?s=43
-- This picture and comment makes me laugh every time I see it...that one college QB’s size is CRAZY...and I have never seen him play one snap, yet: https://x.com/5footnothinpod/status/1999996761616810377?s=43
And now the more I look at Tweets/Xs, the more I see that this little QB is a Grade A a-hole. Shedeur Sanders is like, ‘Dude, chill! Show some humility’.
This Pavia guy seems like Johnny Manziel personality, only worse...

---------------------------
We’re only a few weeks away from our NFL Draft scouting season beginning...
I watched a few plays of the OSU-Texas opener, and I have not watched one single play of CFB since. Soon, I will be submerged into the 2025 CFB season...but we’ve still got plenty of 2025 FF season to knock down!
-- More Heisman stuff...

-- DAILY ITEM: For some fun, I’m going to do another QB Hierarchy...like we did this summer, updated for what I’ve seen in the 2025 season. One QB added a day in the order that I would place that QB, and I keep doing it each day in alphabetical team order. This is an NFL performance/talent list, not for FF, based on their talent assessment today...my personal feelings on it. We’ll add one team a day’s QB/s to the list in the order where I would put them.
*changed up/updated some the QBs and their placement since yesterday/last week*
Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Matt Stafford, Jalen Hurts
Drake Maye (not ready to put him in the upper tier yet), Jaxson Dart, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Dak Prescott, Jordan Love, Bo Nix, Lamar Jackson
Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, Joe Flacco, Trevor Lawrence, Jacoby Brissett, Michael Penix
J.J. McCarthy (is trying hard to get to the next tier), Tyler Shough, C.J. Stroud (I don’t recognize this 2025 QB), Geno Smith, Tua Tagovailoa, Shedeur Sanders, Bryce Young, Riley Leonard, Davis Mills, Dillon Gabriel, Kyler Murray, Kenny Pickett
Anthony Richardson, Kirk Cousins, Spencer Rattler, Tyrod Taylor, Deshaun Watson, Justin Fields, Philip Rivers (I guess we should put him on?), Brady Cook, Adrian Martinez
