Game of The Year so far?  
10-point underdog Bengals with their backup QB at Jacksonville.  

 

IMPRESSIVE.

Great game!

 

But you know, with the Bengals using a backup QB, even if they win their way through the season and playoff, I guess they shouldn't be invited the Super Bowl.

The entire NFL media machine would organize against the Bengals making the Super Bowl.  Shady men in black overcoats would be visiting the homes of game officials, making them offers they can't refuse.....

Was cracking up last night listening to PTI with Kornheiser and Wilbom slagging the game for possibly the lowest over/under in NFL history-30.  Oh yeah, I'd take the under on that!

Like the proverbial train wreck. On the NFL Twitter page they posted something about the game to which someone Tweeted, "Is this a threat"?

Nope.

The Vikings and Raiders watched it, then said, “Meh….we can do worse than that.”

The Packers are embarrassing themselves.  
Schmuck & Aikman are driving me up the wall.

I’m being forced to watch two games on a split screen.  
 

I need pain killers.

No I'm hoping we lose most of our games so our GM is forced to fire the whole coaching staff.

 

Thought of you when reading this, from The Ringer:

 

What a weird season for the Saints. They’re 6-7 and have a legit chance to win the NFC South, yet their fans seem to hate the team—and for good reason! Derek Carr got into a shouting match with center Erik McCoy during last week’s win over the Panthers. Those things happen, but they usually don’t happen this often. As this ESPN.com article by Katherine Terrell outlines, Carr went at it with offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael in Week 6 and was yelling at wide receiver Chris Olave in Week 7. Watching the Saints has been a mostly miserable experience this year. Rooting for them, I imagine, has to be even worse.

Carr has not worked out at all, he puts up yards and moves the offense but is hopeless in the red zone and when things go wrong he tends to blame someone else, sometimes everyone else. As for the coaching staff, Allen and Carmichael seem clueless most of the time.

Analytics are working overtime tonight!

 

 

Go Raiders!  Where's Earl?!?

[goose]

0 points last week, 63 this week?

I hope everyone took the over!

If the Chargers are wise, they will part ways with head coach Brandon Staley.  His Madden video game offensive philosophy is embarrassing.    

 

They will never go anywhere with him at the helm, IMO.

Done, wise man.

[treeduck]

Now can the SAINTS brass just fire Dennis Allen too?

If they were wise they'd have done it long ago.

The Bad News:  I completely missed the Bengals-Vikings game.  I missed it all.  

 

The Worse News:  Just to rub it in, the Bengals won a thrilling, come from behind victory, thanks in part to an all-time great TD stretch by Tee Higgins.

That was a sweet move, very smart!  How about Browning lighting up the Vikes for 300+ yds?  Bengals are looking pretty good right now.
