I’m sure the polite thing to say would be “oh no it would be such a shame if we don’t get the ROTY Bowl” but I don’t care and have no shame. I want to stack wins, so if he’s out or weakened for our next game, 🤷‍♂️

First of many injuries for that frame.

Future HOFer Davante Adams just got called “a new piece” by Al Michaels. Lol it didn’t even take 10 seconds for an NFL broadcast to just bug me 

Michaels has lost his fastball, but that was Tirico

Just when you think you have seen it all...

A coach clumsily dropping the challenge flag prevents him from throwing it onto the field before the snap, and the play ends up going for a touchdown.

Get Russ out and give the Bears that 4th rounder please 

He is playing nowhere near his stat line. He's been bailed out 3 times on highlight catches for big yards.

It seems Daniels injuy isn't that severe 

Maybe not, but it's only a matter of time. I've been watching all of their games. The way Quinn is using him is blatantly stupid. Even after Daniels got hurt, Mariota was playing the same damn way. Now, Mariota has some bulk and seems to be able to take a shot better than Daniels, but why are you scheming plays with your QB being the runner so much, especially in a 37-0 game. Mariota got lucky he didn't need to go to the blue tent a few times. Daniels got hurt on back to back plays where it's hard to even see what got him hurt. He hasn't really been decked the way Justin Fields took hits his first 3 or so years in Chicago.

Washington QB's led the team in carries and yardage. And that's not to say the RB's weren't getting it done. Robinson Jr. and McNichols were averaging 6 yards a carry. Ekeler was averaging 4.3. It was the Carolina Panthers and they just hung their QB's out to dry rather than taking the safe route and letting their RB's control the game. Daniels is nothing like Jalen Hurts physically. He's just not built to handle continuous contact from opposing NFL defenses. He's fun to watch, no doubt. But, like RGIII, he won't be here long if they continue using him the way they are.

I absolutely love seeing that final score of the Pitt/NYJ game. Ahh, Aaron Rodgers still loses even with his shiny new toy. It's kind of funny that Adams missed the last several games because of a "hamstring issue", but as soon as he is traded, boom, he's ready to play. I think I saw a graphic in one of the games yesterday between two teams that were both 1-5 that 1-6 is a 0% chance at playoffs and 2-5 is a 6% chance. 

They really only have 3 super tough games the rest of the way, but I'd be surprised if they came back to make the playoffs.

I woulda thought the Jets would have been more cautious about acquiring a washed, curmudgeonly former Packers QB after the last time they did it, and yet here we are. It wasn’t even that long ago!

In what way? He was missing dudes by 20 feet. And had a lot of help from circus catches 

Yeah several of them could have easily been picked off. The former Jeopardy host turned the game with his pick before half. It was 15-6 they were driving to end the half with the ball to start the 2nd half. Instead its picked, Pittsburgh makes it 15-13.

It's interesting how that magic dust from Lambeau didn't follow Rodgers to NYJ.  Well, actually it's not surprising.  It rarely does.

Daniels got hurt on the play where he ran for 47 yards and got tackled by two guys from behind and landed a bit funny. 

That's exactly why I didn't mind Williams sliding at the logo last week when he could have had more yards.

Meanwhile, Fields' weird online cult was going crazy early last night and then got real quiet

Caleb could have run to the right sideline and gotten 10 more easy FWIW

I hope he continues not to try that.  He knows he's going to have more opportunities.  It shouldn't feel "critical" that he maximize the yardage on a run.  It should feel like he's going to come back and make another great play so it's better to not take any kind of risk.

There will be some situations where he has to push it but most of the time it's totally fine to stay out of danger.

The Steelers wrs went from widely villified to having a great night this week. So mysterious.
