      I don’t think I’ll ever really understand how kickers can just lose it all of a sudden. I can be one of the most consistent kickers in the league for five six years and then just something snaps in his brain and he can no longer win the job for his own team

      They’re leaving with 4 minutes left and three timeouts in only a nine point game? Damn Minnesota fans ain’t real ones huh?

      I’m not a fan of either team, but the Falcons D is looking solid so far

        Same. It’s home game for Vikes, figured this is a beat down. 1 quarter not yet but, I got no faith in Falcons.

      A defensive struggle between these 2 teams. Who would’ve guessed!

    28 points in the first half, that looks more like the Lions I know and love. And it looks like TeSlaa’s just going to be a highlight reel every time he touches the ball.

      Yeah Lions weren’t going to follow up last week with a dud this week. I knew Bears and Johnson were in a tough spot.

        52 points is certainly far from a dud. It was kinda freaky last week that they were that bad with all of that talent in the offense. Now I look forward to the rest of the season. But it’s going to be a rough season, starting with the Ravens next week.

            They crushed the Lions the last time around, so it’d be the ultimate test. Considering how they looked against the Packers I’m managing my expectations. At least they’re not going in 0-2.

              I’d be surprised if it’s the same kind of result. Lions are also a physical team.

    My Jags just cannot put away a Burrow-less Bengals team. On the plus side, we’re going to save SO much money not having to pay Brian Thomas Jr.

      Maybe Kelce should’ve retired. Football isn’t like music. You can’t keep playing into golden age.

      Mahomes cannot do everything all the time :’) We need some receivers who can get open…

      This was an impressive win. Eagles went into Arrowhead and took control of the game.

      My god Eagles with another busted coverage at the end of the game. Mahomes isn’t going to miss twice.

      Allen’s stats don’t look great in the half so far.

        Well, they did kind of break his nose. (Not confirmed broken, but I wouldn’t be surprised…)

        But his stats got better after that

            Yup. He ran off the field and was out for a few plays. At one point they zoomed in on him on the sidelines and broadcasted a big dripping bloody goober to all of New York State.

            Nantz even said it was a good thing they already took their wedding photos lol

            And of course, Mitch came off the bench and threw a nice completion

        I was watching Redzone while chatting with a bunch of people. So I saw it, but didn’t hear the explanation.

        Were they shoving the center down or something?

          Yeah it was the center. you can’t touch them during a kick. It was a missed FG. Huge mistake. That’s the margin of wins and losses.
