NFL 2015 / Week 5: "Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy"

Giants 3-2 leading the NFC lEAST, kinda funny considering how it started.

Cowboys are proof how big a drop off you get after losing a good QB. Doubt it will make much difference with the mouthbreathers who lay in that Romo is the reason the Cowboys are not a dynasty.

Giants could've won the two games they lost if they hadn't bumbled around and given them away.

Hard to lose vs. NO the way they did but even with Romo I dunno if they're beating the Falcons or the Patriots. Worst thing about the Romo injury is it comes at a really brutal point in their schedule. Either way NYG is gonna run away with this division, which as a Packer fan scares me. As JF mentioned they could easily be 5-0 right now.

if they were 5-0 we'd be talking about how easily they could be 2-3, so let's not get carried away. a poor niners team crossed coasts and got made to look competent in this game. as a packers fan you should be pleased that this is the kind of tam you are supposed to be worried about, pack is considerably better on o and d.

Oh yes GB is the better team but NYG have delivered two pretty rough playoff losses to us. That 15-1 year followed by a first-round home loss really stung.

Not convinced that the 49ers are that awful. If Kaepernick is playing decent I think they could be 8-8. I don't wanna suggest the Giants are a top-5 team but the East is theirs to lose, and obviously they have that history of playing better as the season wears on. Denver is the team that I have no idea what to make of right now, Peyton looks terrible, though you can feel confident as a Denver fan b/c I don't think he can play any WORSE and they're still 5-0. Nov 1 vs GB should reveal a lot.

Oof! Daniel Fells's MRSA infection was so bad that the doctors have removed parts of his foot and may have to amputate it. His career is over. :(

jesus

holy shit :(

Really awful news. I just hope it doesn't get any worse for his sake. MRSA is scary

wow, is the suplex a legal tackle in the nfl

sure.

you know who is not impressing is melvin gordon. chargers line is a mess but he hasn't made any individual plays either.

soooooo many steeler fans ugh

that was p sick. wheaton murdered flowers and jammer. jammer looked like he gave up and sat down.

miller hanging on to that was amazing

jeeeeez

dramatic finish wow

he got it in but that was really really close

yeah gotta be a touchdown

sick

terrible play call btw

didn't tirico say run a qb sneak then call time out and kick if it didn't work? there's no way you can do that in six seconds

gruden said sneak i think. bell had too much time to dance, gotta run something faster.

yeah I'd worry with a QB sneak since the refs usually take a second or two to figure out when the guy's down given that they're such a pile. I was thinking snap and quick throw.

yeah quick throw is a low-percentage play given how inaccurate vick is but it's maybe the only safe choice

Pittsburgh's schedule is pretty brutal. I can't see them hanging with the Bengals for the division at this point. Other than a beat up KC, which really isn't a nancy, their schedule is nasty as heck especially with Cleveland and Oaktown playing competitive.

Cincy right now looks pretty good, they really don't have any part of their game that looks weak. I wish they were playing Green Bay or NE to really 'know' how they are doing, but they look good.

I feel like Dalton's turned a corner. yeah, he did make a dumb throw against Seattle but it really tells you more about your QB when he can rebound from that and lead a nice 17 point comeback.

I mean plus it's the Bengals - they've gotta be fuckin' due to advance this year

bengals do look like the real deal. after taking a step back with zimmer's departure the defense looks at good at it has been. and the offense, the perennial paper bengal, actually looks ok, with both talent and depth/redundancy that they haven't had in recent memory. overall they just feel different from the team that has always been 1-2 injuries away from unraveling in previous years. there is a v reasonable chance they won't even play a wildcard game to lose in, which could be the secret. i like them more than denver right now, and if that pass rush holds up through the season i'd be p uncomfortable about the pats playing them in a single elim game.
