The spirit of Mark Sanchez still haunts this team

Cam benched for PJ Walker.

Who gets sacked twice and throws a pick on one drive

Seems like an improvement

Tua has a 90% completion rate (27/30)

Lmao at Texans choking against Jets

This is a truly impressive meltdown by the Colts

Meanwhile Titans looking *not good* again

touchdown tom has done it (touchdown) again

Whoaaa

so close

rodgers looks like a hungover hobo

Jfc that throw to Cobb was nuts

Lamar Jackson is such an enigma, you really never know what's gonna happen one second to the next

on the other hand you have the Browns who seem to have reverted to the form we all remember, they picked Lamar 3 times and currently have 3 points

obviously they are missing Difference Maker OBJ, whom the packers scandalously low-balled

that TD catch quickly becoming the NFL equivalent of the blue/gold dress pic, everyone's using the same photo to prove it was or wasn't a catch

Mayfield sucks

I know he has good games here and there but most of the time he just looks like a shittier version of Kirk Cousins

Ravens had no run game and Lamar tossed 4 picks, how do you lose this one

everyone's using the same photo to prove it was or wasn't a catch

On my mediocre, non-HD 36" LCD television I could see grass clippings bounce off the turf from the camera angle that looked forward from behind the end zone to the front of end-zone. My conclusion: it hit the turf.

Ravens put nine in the box on some plays, they dared Baker to beat them and he couldn’t do it. FML

baker looked incredibly hobbled to me, both upper and lower body. they have a reasonable backup i thought so not sure why he was out there.

well its arguably their most important game of the regular season and the Browns already dropped several "Mayfield is feelin' fine!" stories so I guess you can't just start your backup, even if it's abundantly clear that Mayfield is not, in fact, feelin' fine. coaches do that cowardly shit all the time where they just throw their hands up and say "look, you gotta play your best players in the big ones!" knowing the shit they'd catch if Case Keenum couldn't deliver them a win in Baltimore. even though he probably would have.

this game was 7-3 and then I put the kids to bed and now it's 9-9. TD Washington then Seattle blocks the XP and returns it for 2. didn't know that was an actual rule lol

have I mentioned how much I love those nonsensical 3D MNF animations yet?

xpost I didn't either til the Fins did it against the Cards a few years back. it made a diff in the game too!

never thought I'd say this about a team with Wilson and Metcalf but the Seattle offense looks legitimately terrible. its one of those Jon Bois Breaking Madden things like "what if an offense was terrible at everything except QB scrambles?"

also I love how whenever Washington gets a penalty it says "Holding - Football Team" at the bottom instead of "Holding - Washington"

boooo to these refs. I know this is technically rigging sports but on a 50/50 call like that you gotta do what allows for the cooler outcome. that was about to be the craziest Russell Wilson magic ever

yes refs hate fun

i'm just occasionally looking up at this game and it feels like there's been a turnover every other play? who is this Saints quarterback? he's so fucking bad!!

LMAO and just like that he throws a 70 yard touchdown. well just a little 3 yard pass that Deondre Harris somehow managed to evade the entire Cowboys defense with

Stupid Vikings down 20-6 at the half to the winless Lions. Maybe a combination of a loss this embarrassing and missing the playoffs will be the impetus needed to finally shitcan Zimmer and management, but I just don’t know any more.

Five in a row.

Fins up!

Awww, happy for the Lions

As soon as that drive started I thought “if the Vikings blitz even once this game is over”, lo and behold the Vikings blitzed zero times

puntfest

Vikings running a three man front while dropping everyone back into a zone has never worked but by all means do it

Pretty brutal loss for the Ravens, they got exactly what they wanted on that 2 point conversion but Lamar threw it too far out

he seems wildly inconsistent this year

as someone who has him on my fantasy team, he sure is

yea he seems to oscillate a lot between Johnny Manziel and the greatest offensive player in NFL history

Teddy Bridgewater is quite ungood

nothing more fun in football than the long interception return, where the defense gets to block and the offense gets to play defense. you got ball carriers holding the football with one hand as far away from their body as possible running backwards to find a hole while tacklers are pulling wrestling moves on the blockers drawing flags for "well you can't fucking do that"

otm

This Chiefs offense is like last year's going through Seth Brundle's teleportation machine.

Idk why Mahomes sucks at home this year

Bailed out

Xxpost remember the time Warren Sapp basically murdered Chad Clifton?

Jesus, Chiefs can't even get a TD on a drive that started in the red zone

when you don't have a rooting interest in either team those muffed punt turnovers feel kinda weird

in most years this would be a more entertaining game than what we're getting
