Welcome to Thunderdome

I don't know how much that will translate to TDs because Arthur Smith (the OC) has a hard on for Jonnu Smith, but Rodgers went to Freiermuth in key situations.

What a game!

I wasn't awake, but wow. Oh Ravens, how do you blow that?

Wilson went 17-of-37 passing for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the loss. He was especially ineffective under pressure, completing just 2 of 12 passes for 26 yards with two sacks and two scrambles.

Went to this game. Commanders hype is real, stadium was loud, pregame was full of energy. Man, that should have been a 35-6 game instead of 21-6. Too many mistakes by the Commanders.

You probably didn't notice, but last week I adjusted my prediction for their record. I dropped it 2 games. I still think they're a playoff team, but I think we are putting the cart before the horse a bit. I did not know that they're the oldest team in the NFL. I want them to knock off the Eagles, but I am concerned we overhyped them a bit.

Had a great football weekend. Steelers won. Buckeyes won. I beat Stranger in fantasy (sorry buddy!). Won in my bigger money work league. And the cheating scumbags lost.

Fair. But Deebo was a great add for that offense. Terry got so much attention Deebo could catch balls. Some ESPN(?) or other sportswriter picked the Commanders as "team everyone is hyping but won't make the playoffs" Daniels is awesome though.

Daniels is awesome and the real deal. You guys are set for a long time. Just need to make sure they surround him with talent.

Lamar shoved a fan.

I don't like how that headline is written. It implies Lamar lashed out after they lost. Not the case. Lamar shoved the fan after a score and after the fan initiated contact with his teammate and then him.

Even though I think Lamar was not wrong, he should get some sort of punishment. The NFL simply has to set a precedent for violent interactions with the fans. I wouldn't suspend him though. Maybe fine him his game check (amount negotiable) to the charity of his choice?

Man trying to keep his job won't commit to washed up QB.

We all know Dart is going to get the nod. I'd just make sure it's the right time. Week 5 versus the Saints looks very good...

The Belichick-Kraft rift runs deep, but has nothing to do with Vrabel.

Honestly, Kraft is the villain in this situation. You're the owner, not the coach or GM. You aren't why the team Belichick coached won 6 SBs.

If I was Olave, I'd stop playing for this clown show and demand an immediate trade.

0% agreement. If the fan was just mouthing off, sure. But the fan initiated the contact, and not politely. no punishment. Reacting just pushing him back? Totally fine. Fan was ejected (good), and I would support him being banned for a year or more.

I support the fan being banned for life and I should have included this in my point. Charges pressed and never come back. Fuck you very much. We don't need fans that do this shit.

However, you have to send a message to the players to not respond. Today it's a shove, tomorrow it's a punch. You don't want to be the NBA.

Then a warning, at most.

That's why I went with a financial fine going to a charity of his choice. I don't think he should be punished, but I think he should be punished...

You know he donates money every year, so just tell him to do it now and here instead of later.

Cool behind the scenes and all, but uh...what's with the corgi(?) ipad case?

It's cute?

It doesn't feel fair that we go from the Giants to the Packers, on a short week. Like couldn't we play some mid-tier team like the Raiders first?

Maybe they'll be hung over from beating the Lions?

As a fan, I love TNF. As a fan, I hate TNF.

Steelers get Seattle in Pittsburgh. I'm guessing we're favored.

I would pay money if one reporter asked McCarthy in the post-game interview: "So, do you find it a lot harder to do well when you don't know what the opposing defense is doing?"

Same old Bears.

Bears gonna Bear.

Maybe living out west does make people too soft.

That organization really needs to look into their strength and conditioning programs.

Shanahan said Jones had a strong training camp before a minor knee sprain kept him on the sideline for about a week at the end of the preseason.

Even their backup QB isn't 100%.
