If you want a reason the game would be safer without all the hard plastic see the last tackle in the TNF game
Kick off return, the defending player has run flat out head first in to the returning player. It's really really nasty.
Its not high, he hits him in the thighs. But the returners knee may be destroyed, and i think the tackler knocked himself out. No pads there is no way the guy tackles like that.
It's really gross
-
the game itself is a ripper
first half was a great display of defense from both sides
now the offences have taken over and are shooting it out
-
1st and goal at the 1 and the Packers get zip
Cardinals need to go the absolute length of the field to win
-
and then the Cards wideout sort of gives up the pay, and gives up an endzone interception so the Packers win
Seriously, he turns around the Cardinals win. Crazy end.
-
@mariner4life tremendous game, really enjoyed it.
But htat kick return is just nuts. Sickening to see, and when both players go down from a routine contact, you have to ask if it's the right thing in the game.
Still, so many good games this year. So many good teams. It's been great for a semi-neutral fan

Yeah would love to know what the play call was. Green looked liked we was focused on blocking the defender so perhaps was expecting a run or QB sneak or draw. The RB didn't seem to be expecting a handoff though so my guess is that Green mixed up the call and was expecting something else.

Here's a fun fact: 5 teams won games this week with qbs that are current or former jets. For those keeping score at home that's Broncos (Bridgewater), Seahawks (Geno), Panthers (Darnold), Saints (Siemien) and Jets (White).
Not really anything significant about that other than a rather neat curiousity.

I see that the Cowboys come back to win without Prescott.
The Vikings. A franchise that are masters at the close loss.
Really impressive win by the Patriots over the Chargers in LA.
With the extended playoffs now (3 wildcard teams) the playoff race is going to be fun this season. The last wildcard spot in the NFC looks wide open right now whilst all 3 wildcard spots the AFC look open.

I wanted the Cowboys to win after the last Vikings drive was just a bunch of bullshit penalties

Except that playoff game vs the Saints....

And the Bucs lost.
Bucs game was fun, if you like rooting fro underdogs. Bucs D gave away so many penalties it wsn't funny, right when the toothless Saints needed them. It was crazy.
Bad injury to Jameis Winston knee, too, wasn't good to see at all.
On another night, Brady wins by 20 ... but that's sport
-
Winston out for the season, Henry looking likely to be out for the season. Titans season is basically over at this point, Saints will be interesting to watch, Payton reckons they have their QB already but I don't think Hill or Siemien is good enough to lead a serious play off team.

Rams really targetting the Super Bowl to played in their new stadium.
Can you imagine coming up against him AND Donald. Aaron is just insanely good.
in side notes, JJ Watt out for season; may be a dick, but was amazing for a long time on a shitty Texans team, and I kinda like the guy
-
This rams team is looking pretty complete right now, doesn't feel like a bad decision for them. Especially since Miller probably signs a decent deal somewhere else next season and they'll get a compensatory pick back.
Rams first pick in the draft will be in the 5th round... If they don't trade that away too.

I like it - good to see different models than just 'stockpile picks'. Belichek loved lower round pick, thought that was where the value was. Trading down is a thing that can work -- this is taken to the extreme, going to the free market and picking up people replaced by drafted folk i guess!
-
From memory even first round picks have about a 50% bust rate. It's pretty understandable why the rams have gone this route.
The real value of a draft pick is the cost control and the rams have done well to find decent late round picks who can contribute and allow them flexibilty.
-
fucking devastated Von is gone. I understand it, but i'm devastated
Rams defense is loaded with scary people.
Henry being out fucks the Titans. AP is not going to fill that hole
