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

... and the Titans screwed up Seahawks, Colts, Chiefs and Bills. They don't win those without Henry I reckon.
Fark, what a loss. Loved watching him play. Hopign he comes back strong next year - if it's only a foot, hopefully no lasting effects.

It's fucked. Everything about it.
Can't remember an athlete in his prime throwing his career away in such a reckless, careless way. Aaron Hernandez I suppose.
He should do 10+ years in prison.
Jarryd Hayne says hi.

Yeah it's really sad for everyone involved. Young guys making terrible decisions isn't new but you do wonder how much the raiders were supporting him. He's a young guy who will have lived a pretty structured and regimented life in college suddenly living in Vegas with about $10m in the bank.
None of that excuses what he has done and I don't blame the raiders, but I do hope that internally they reflect on whether they're doing everything they can to support rookies on what must be the biggest overnight change in any career.

Aaron Rodgers tests positive for Covid19, and is revealed to be unvaccinated. He's hurt his team badly by having to stand down for 10 days. Along with Newton and Cousins among others, these rich QBs are bad team mates setting a bad example to the rest of their organisations
