Little to no pressure on Love is a big reason why it's working.

This is why the Simmons pick-up is so huge for us. 

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

After the Packers lost to the Falcons, I promised myself to not get excited about the season. I was convinced the OL was irredeemable. No clue how Love has played this well, and now the defense looks amazing, and BEFORE Parsons returns. This division is just sick. 

[PackLandVA]

The Packers demise this season will almost certainly be their horsesh!t O-line's run-blocking. Through 9 games, the running game is historically bad with no signs of improving.

Remember in 2024 they said Jayden was the best QB of the 2024 draft? Remember in 2025 they said Drake Maye was the best QB in the 2024 draft?

 

Yes, I know that Maye has 11 picks this year and that Caleb had 1 this year before today. Just thought the timing was funny.

Detroit struggling against a terrible MIA squad. Rams doing the same against a very mediocre to bad Washington squad.

West coast teams playing the 1:00 game on the east coast ALWAYS struggle.  I almost bet the Commanders in that game for that reason alone, glad I stayed away from that one.

How do the Packers get away with just throwing deep ball after deep ball after deep ball?

Because Christian Watson is an absolute menace on deep balls.  If Love is throwing to almost anyone else, I think the success rate is markedly lower.

I know power rankings are very subjective and overall worthless, but...Jason La Canfora has the Broncos #1 and the 49ers #7.  What?

Jags gave up their 1st this year and 2nd in 2029 for Jordan Davis. Can't wait to battle them.

[Banedon]

Flores better get a HC job next year.  Outside of the division.  Preferably in the AFC.

Wentz is completely cooked

So are the Vikings this season. 

They remind me of the 2005 Bears

Still mad they beat us, regardless of the weather

Does Vikings trade for a guy like Cousins?

Man things changed when Rex came along, but the Orton-led unit was unbearable for sure

they could try, but it would cost them a lot. Raiders want Mendoza to continue to sit

What constitutes "a lot". Cousins is 38 so it shouldn't take that much. Vikings have a really good defense but are a disaster at QB. Bringing in a decent QB could make them a Super Bowl contender. Just look at Seattle last year.

Raiders have no strong desire to trade him and the Vikings are desperate like you said. I doubt they'd take anything less than a 2nd-rounder.

I know Denver's WR group has been pretty beat up this year, but I don't think anyone can name any of the receivers the 49ers were trotting out there this past Sunday, and most weeks before that. Guys that were NOT on the field for the 49ers this week: Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Christian Kirk, Ricky Piersall, De'Zhaun Stribling, Brandon Aiyuk. 

[Brian707]

Isn't Murray just week to week? He is horsefeathers but better than Wentz. I agree, Raiders going to want a 2nd for Cousins 

Edited 14 hours ago by Brian707

[Tryptamine]

I don't understand GB and MIN being in on Jonathan Taylor.  For GB, your run blocking is still going to be horsefeathers and for MIN you still can't pass the ball. If anything I hope they splurge and throw a 1st or 2nd at Indy.

Looks like it only took a 3rd rounder.

The Raiders might have claimed they didn’t want to trade him but there also wasn’t really a point in keeping him either.

Major score for the Raiders. 9 games of clipboard experience from one of the most veteran of veterans in the NFL for Mendoza, and a 3rd rounder. Score!
