Well, here we are. TB sucks.

This is embarrassing:

With a win Sunday in Atlanta the Panthers can force a three-way tie for the NFC South lead and own the tiebreaker with a 3-0 division record. Could even be a four-way tie. Current: Atlanta 3-4, Tampa Bay 3-5, Carolina 2-5, N. Orleans 2-5

I mentioned elsewhere, that the Bill B/Greatest Living American is a combo we might never see again. That was pure harmony as far as domination in a sport. I may hate both of them, but mad respect for their accomplishments. 

Related: I had 2 things to say at the beginning of the season: 
1. I was/am more afraid of MIA than NE
2. IF there was a year to settle it all, re: MN-BUF SBs, this is the year. 

Stop it.  The Vikes are 5-1 but haven't beat a decent team all season and haven't looked good in any game outside of the Packer game.  I'll give you the first half of the Bears game they looked.

There will be no "settle it all" opportunity this year.

By the time the playoffs roll around, the Niners are gonna be a tough out. It’ll come down to injuries but I could see a KC/SF Super Bowl

Rodgers is the worst of worst to have as a teammate. Blames every teammate and coach and won’t take any responsibility at all. The front line, receivers and running backs should treat Rodgers like in the movie ‘The Longest Yard’. Take one or two series off and let the opposing defense just destroy Rodgers. Bring his ego back to being a teammate and not somebody who throws everybody under the bus besides himself.

They already do that when they’re trying their hardest ?. Between the O line and receivers they gave themselves no chance to win the last two weeks, not exactly like he was wrong in that assessment.

Packers have worst run D in the league (24th overall D in DVOA), a D coordinator of an 0-16 team, no above average receivers, O-line playing out of position, it’s a mess.

Von Miller shoving the entire Packer offensive line two yards left was pretty fun to watch.

If I were them I’d just run it every play with Allen or Singletary and never leave the field until they score, the packers can’t stop the run. But I get that Josh Allen likes to throw the ball and is really good at it.

Next week will be interesting. MN vs Wash, and Bills vs Jets. Trap games, IMO, I think both teams might be looking ahead to Nov 13...that will be one hell of a matchup.

The trap game for Buffalo was last night vs. Green Bay.  The Bills are a -13 fav at NYJ.  Don't see it being a trap game unless you're looking at the division rival part of it.  The Vikings at a -3.5 at Washington.  I swear every game is a trap game for the Vikes... LoL!!!

-13 is exactly WHY I think it's a trap game for BUF. The game last night was closer than it should have been. 2 of Josh's INTs were sloppy and careless, IMO, and wanting to admit it or not, the Jets are playing well right now.

Normally the NFL trade deadline is a snoozer, but WTH is going on this year?

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

Feels like the NFL has been moving towards this for a couple years trying free up teams ability to trade. There used to almost no trades in the NFL ever. Among other things they moved the trade deadline back from week 6 to week 8. That may be the sweet spot or maybe they move it back further. No league works the excitement level like the NFL.

The Bears defense is… …not NFL caliber. 
I mean, not even close. Tua is 9/9. Miami may put up 50.

Seems like Justin Fields is starting to put it together. 

 

Or maybe more accurately, his coaches are finally realizing he's an incredible athlete and are letting him do what he is capable of finally

Bears take Miami to the end, 32-35. Had a shot, but a non-call on obvious PI leads to a turnover on downs and Miami holds on. 

If the Bears can shore up their defense in the off season to replace Mack, Quinn, and Smith they may have a chance.

Erin Rodgers throws 3 interceptions and the Packers score 9 points. Well in their defense this is what happens when you are facing a shut down defense like the Lions.

Oh wait the Lions came into the game having given up the most point (33.4 points per game) in the league. ? 

The Erin lead Packer train has clearly gone off the rails. #ThatsAShame

Unfortunately. That being said, BUF is gonna be PISSED next week. I feel sorry for the beatdown that is going to happen. Josh was sloppy again today. I think after watching film, he's going to double his focus, and get back to being Josh. They slumped a bit last year, also, and came back with a vengeance.

I didn’t say they weren’t good but if you think they’re gonna stomp a team with a better record than them you may be overconfident.

It may be true, but the fact remains, the Vikings have the 2nd best record in the NFL so far this year.

My heart says 41-17 Bills next week, my head says 24-21 Bills (for the gamblers, you know the difference 😉 ). 

The Vikes are a good team. They find ways to win, period.
