Bayern starting to find their form, 16-0 over the last four league games since the scoreless draw against Hamburger.  Have not allowed a goal since the August 30th draw at Schalke.

 

Meanwhile, Dortmund loses again.  Still only a quarter of the way through the season but they are really making CL qualification look tougher and tougher every week.  Wow.

Standings updated (finally, haha)

 

Again it is early but as of right now Leverkusen, Schalke, and Dortmund would all be watching CL from their couches next season.

 

Still upset about Bayern's scoreless draw with Hamburger.  They are sitting in the relegation zone.

The first eight games of the second round of DFB Pokal were today:

 

*denotes second division team, **denotes third division team, ***denotes regional representative

 

***Chemnitzer FC 0

Werder Bremen 2
 

*Arminia Bielefeld 0 (4)

Hertha Berlin 0 (2)

 

***Kickers Offenbach 1

*Karlsruher SC 0

 

*VfR Aalen 2

Hannover 96 0

 

*Dynamo Dresden 2

*VfL Bochum 1

 

***MSV Duisburg 0 (1)

1. FC Koln 0 (4)

 

*1. FC Kaiserslautern 2

*Greuther Furth 0

 

*FC St. Pauli 0

Borussia Dortmund 3

 

Four second division teams (Kaiserslautern, Dresden, Aalen, and Arminia Bielefeld) and one regional representative (Kickers Offenbach) advance to the Round of 16.  Only Werder Bremen, FC Koln, and Dortmund advance.  So weird how Dortmund has been lost in the Bundesliga but is rolling in other competitions.

They are borderline relegation pace in the league, and in blistering form in UCL. Wtf.

 

Bayern hosts Dortmund this weekend so they could be there after this weekend.  They better keep up their CL form, it is starting to look like winning it is their only way back for next season.

 

I know they will not actually get relegated but can you imagine if they won CL and got relegated in the same season?

That would be unbelievable. A squad playing in UCL and not even in the top flight of their own country.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
