Starting with Thursday Night fooball..
Boys vs. Vikings..
Isn't this the week where all the players can wear individualized cleats without having to pay a fine?
thursday games are just so boring. cowboys seem to be giving minimal effort. Bradford just go injured
for me it's all boring unless my Browns are playing...today I have Beasley on my FFL so Im watching off an on
straight up and down, this Vikings defense is looking legit to the tenth power.
You'd think Dak was a 10 year vet with his composure and poise ...
Also love how he keeps his eyes downfield when he's scrambling ...
it's a damn good game. this Vikings D is on it tonight. for the most part. so is the cowgirls D.
one thing that jumps out me all game long, is Elliot is a monster back. his change of direction is just sicking.
Vikes are fired up ... best there D's played since week 4 or 5 ...
Thought they were going to get slaughtered ...
Dang is Dak smart ... there's vets that don't go down and go out of bounds on that play .. he slide ...
Very impressed with this mans football IQ ...have been all year though ...
was a darn good game...vikes d is legit.
if this goes to OT I am grabbing another beer
wow...oh well was hoping for OT
These refs are F'N HORRIBLE .... they are so inconsistent ...
BRUTAL ...
was a bad bad effin call for sure.
The Cowboys are fun to watch with Zeke and Dak. That team is going to be good for awhile.

Yes they will. They're a very complete team as well ... especially on O
survivor league help wanted. toughest week to date, especially with dwindling choices and no Browns to pick against. my options:
1. Saints over Lions
2. Raiders over Bills
3. Falcons over Chiefs
4. Chargers over Bucs
Chargers over Bucs ....
There is one big game today IMO ..
Chicago at SF ... actually i would take SF over Chicago as i'm sure u haven't used them yet .. *L* ...
SF has been playing better the last 3 or 4 weeks ... and them getting a 2nd win would almost secure the 1st pick for us ...
Cinci wasn't that good to begin with ... we get them at home minus AJ ... we got a good shot at winning that one ..
GO NINERS!!!!
Go Bengals. They need as high as pick for that second first as possible...to trade of course!
So, in the name of better draft positioning, we have to be fans of whoever is playing the eagles, right?
Including the bengals?
Cincy is going to destroy us...yeah 0-16 is happening
saints look like crap today. Eagles do too
This looks like the Bengals of last year.
Philly losing again? Called it.
They played cream puffs early in the year.
I can not stress enough how glad I am that we don't have Blake bortles.
This dude is trash
It's not like we haven't had our share of Blake Bortles. Blake on our list of QBs would fit right in. We'll probably end up with the guy on our roster at some point.
Blake Bortles has more pick 6's than career wins.
I wouldn't be surprised if Houston tries to trade up with someone to draft a QB.
Brock should've stayed in Denver.
It's not like we haven't had our share of Blake Bortles. Blake on our list of QBs would fit right in. We'll probably end up with the guy on our roster at some point.
The difference is we never took our versions of Bortles at #3.

No we trade down and take guys like Gilbert and Big Phil and then with the extra picks we take guys like Cam Erving and Weeden.
Atlanta just shot themselves in the foot. Going for two after a TD and KC intercepts for a pick 2. So instead of leading, Atl is down by one.
Man guys.
Jared Goff hasn't looked good at all.
Ravens look like the division winner right now.
Atlanta is lucky they have the Rams / 49ers / Panthers as their next 3 games while TB has Saints / Cowboys / Saints...otherwise ATL may have had some major challenge making the playoffs - especially with TB starting to play better ball.
Sure was great to not have to listen to another loss today.
Unless, we lost to Bye, which we probably did.
Did Wentz toss 3 picks today? He's been on a bad stretch over the last few games...seems like his TD/INT ratio cannot be good.
Yea he tossed 3 picks, 1 TD, 36/60 for 308.
The Phily pick is starting to look much better.
i think if SD wins today it moves into the top 10.

Yep. It might be different if we need the Bengals to lose because we were fighting for a playoff spot.
It's a concept OSU fans haven't totally grasped. Maybe you do now? Had Mich. and Wisconsin been slouch teams, OSU may have been on the outside looking in today.
The only time I really root against a SEC team is when they play the Gators. There are some exceptions, such as cases where I need a team to lose to better my position.
In the end, you have to beat 'em all. In college, strength of schedule means a lot. If you lose against a really good team such as PSU, it doesn't kill you. It might have been a nail in the coffin had PSU lost 3-4 games this year.
I am glad you guys saw it play out in the Big Ten this year as it has in the SEC for a while. When you play a conference schedule that is strong week after week, a loss shouldn't kill your chances.
i think if SD wins today it moves into the top 10.
The Eagles run down the stretch isn't easy. Washington, NY Giants, Dallas.....can't remember the other, but it wasn't a easy game.
I think we Will have two top 10 picks.
We have lots of trade options with that 2nd pick.....either up or down. I don't want to trade what is looking like the #1 pick. No reaches, just take Garrett. It's all a gamble, but he is about as sure a bet as it gets.
When you have the #1 pick, you can't reach. It works out we need a QB but can take a DE that looks really, really special. I don't think we can pass on him.
I'm with you on no reaches, but I like Jonathan Allen better than Garret....would be okay with either though. The second 1st rounder can be the QB if they really do like Tribisky as much as rumored or another defensive stud like Hooker.
Eagles might not win another game, and we would have two top 5-7 picks...nice if we draft well.
i'm so jealous of Oakland. they did it the right way, and will be good for a decade

My wife is a Raider fan so I follow them too. You are so right on your assessment. Quality QB, who we passed on (shocker
), 2 Quality WRs, a decent O-line and a stud LB. The are fun to watch.
Oakland has the second best OL in football.
Crazy to think Thomas Rawls couldn't get playing time at Michigan.
Is it just me or does the SEA/CAR game seem to be awful long? I have been writing a paper for an economics class all day, but finally turned on football for this one as I couldn't take just staring at Microsoft Word any longer.
Kaepernick had more sacks than passing yards today.
Earl Thomas is contemplating retirement after his injury?

probably just his emotions speaking after a tough break ... tough loss for SEA
First time I think I ever rooted for the Bengal...lol
Jets looking like straight garbage on D.
Wonder if Bowles is gone after this year ...

Decent o-line? More like the best o-line in the league (besides Dallas).
Something else I will say about the Chiefs, they have a defense as equally talented as Denvers defense was in the super bowl last year. They just need Alex Smith to not blow it.
I don't think Alex Smith is the type to "blow it." He's not a dynamic player, but he is solid. The Chiefs main problem is that they don't have enough difference makers on offense.
they're hoping tyreke hill turns into one of those types. thus far he's been very good
I think the Chiefs finally have enough guys on offense. Tyreek Hill, Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce, and hopefully a healthy Jamaal Charles.
Charles and Maclin have been hurt.
Kelsey is the real deal.
Hill shows potential, but is young and unproven.
