We didn't record in time for the Pro-Bowl but we don't mind. While not fully official, we know who the Cardinals, Bills, and Raiders head coaches will be, but not how it will impact the teams. For our main event, we hand out our fantasy awards to the best, worst, and most meh contributors this season. Finally, we give our last and final thoughts before the last game of the season.

We had a defensive standoff in Denver and a scorefest in Seattle to determine our final two teams. In the end, the Patriots outlasted the Broncos and the Seahawks outscored the Rams. We react to the games, more coaching decisions, a very odd Pro-Bowl schedule, and early Super Bowl thoughts.

It was a weekend full of fumbles and interceptions but the Broncos, Rams, Patriots, and Seahawks managed to survive to fight it out in the conference championships. Has this playoff field been inferior to the last few seasons? Will Bo Nix's injury make it an anti-climatic AFC Championship? Is Seattle the best team left? We look at the remaining teams and break down the coaching hires, fires, and updates. Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter

We return from our holiday break to break down the end of the NFL season.

The NFL Put Coal In Our Fantasy Football Stocking

2025/12/24

After a week of questionable calls, more injuries, fights, and both the #1 seeds in the league losing, we are wondering just how much crazier this season can get. We are also nearly completely wiped out of the fantasy playoffs with little hope remaining. I guess we'll just have to enjoy the holidays and look forward to the real NFL playoffs. We will be off next week, but see you in the New Year! Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter Bluesky: @ballsnthegutter.bsky.social

The first round of fantasy playoffs can be brutal, just like the NFL season. The playoff picture is getting clearer with more teams getting elminated with the Chiefs, Falcons, Bengals, and Dolphins all getting the door slammed shut on their hopes. We still have some fantasy teams alive after the first round but will luck be on our side going forward?

Every top team lost on Thanksgiving/ Black Friday, and now the Eagles, Chiefs, Ravens, and Lions are all struggling. Are we finally willing to believe the Bears, Broncos, Patriots, and Jaguars are for real? Well... maybe not real, but if every team has major flaws, someone still has to win. We are also already losing in some fantasy playoffs, but luckily the main slate is just around the corner.

The NFC is stacked in the west and primed for an Eagles implosion. When it comes to our teams and fantasy... WELL.... we are doing our best. Go Broncos and Go Raiders (according to Lane) and Go Chiefs (according to Lane's obiligations) and Go Panthers? The Rams don't need our help....

Not everyone survived week 11 in the NFL, with Michael Penix and Aaron Rodgers both getting injured. We also got a Shedeur Sanders sighting and Jacoby Brissett is setting passing records. The Chiefs, Lions, and Ravens are currently outside of the playoff picture, while the Bears, Broncos, and Patriots are division leaders. Needless to say, things are pretty crazy this season, and our fantasy teams are struggling to survive all this chaos but we still managed to make it to the playoffs in the Scott

We're in the do-or-die stretch of the fantasy football season, and we're trying to claw our way into the playoffs. We share our trials and tribulations of trying to keep our teams afloat. We also ponder why we're seeing odd injuries, mental health issues, trying locker rooms, and the craziness of how close the standings are for the NFL in general.

2025/11/06

We've passed the halfway mark of the NFL Season, and the standings are starting to fall into place. The NFC is as close as it can be from first to eighth place, while the AFC is starting to separate. We saw a few moves at the trade deadline with Jakobi Meyers going to the Jags, Rashid Shaheed going to the Seahawks, and the Jets sending Sauce Gardner to the Colts but getting Adonai Mitchell. We also examine the Seahawks success and figure out what to do with injuries to Jayden Daniels, Tucker Kraft,

We had our first coach fired in Tennessee, mass injuries to wide receivers, and a couple more upsets with Buffalo and Philly losing two in a row. We then get into some predictions in our annual pretenders and contenders segment. We'll be on bye for at least a week, make sure to watch out for bye-mageddon in week 8!

NFL Clarity or Confusion After Week 4

We're nearly a quarter of the way through the NFL season, and some teams are giving us a clear picture of who they are, while others are just confusing. The Patriots and Falcons seemed to find another gear with dominant wins, but the Packers and Ravens are shaky. Could the Saints and Giants not be as awful as we thought? We are trying to make sense of it all this week while keeping our fantasy teams afloat after injuries to Tyreek Hill, Malik Nabers, Jaylen Warren, and others

We are still trying to figure out this season. It's weird. We guess the Colts are pretty decent and the Saints aren't good, but what about the Chiefs... or Steelers... or Patriots... or Bears? And all the other weird teams this season? We try to make sense of the season so far. Also, kicking is even more of an issue, it's one thing to miss a kick and another to blow the game on a blocked kick.

QBs are dropping left and right with Burrow's toe keeping him out for most of the fantasy season, Justin Fields has a concussion, JJ McCarthy & Brock Purdy are out, and Jayden Daniels is banged up. We speculate about the continuing kicking woes across the league, why we have so many 1-1 fantasy teams, and which 2-0 NFL teams are the most legit.

We are ready to extrapolate the whole season from what happened in the first week of the NFL. The Chiefs and Lions are doomed! The Chargers and Packers are a lock for the Super Bowl, with the Bills and Colts not far behind. We may also quit fantasy forever after losing this week. Or we'll take a measured, rational look and slightly adjust our expectations. Well, it's us, so it's somewhere in between... Football's Back!
