I hope Sunday's games are better.

Buffalo's D is terrible. Were any of them ever taught how to tackle? Their O line getting beat when Cincy is only rushing 3 is embarrassing as well.

Maybe they just don't know how to play in snow?

That Kittle catch was amazing.

The cameras made it look like the Cowboys had nearly left the field after that 3rd down to end the 49ers final drive, before the punt. They should have run to the line and run a play.

Last weekend: 4 blue teams (I'm including Teal), 3 orange/red teams, 1 green team. All the blue teams lost.

Half of me likes the trash talk, half of me thinks it's juvenile. I dunno, at the end of the day, I'd rather see some trash talk than this:
(insert comic I couldn't find of two fans of different soccer teams fighting each other, while the players on the field talk about whose yacht they're going to party at that weekend)

Panthers hire Frank Reich as their new HC.

There will inevitably be racism claims considering the success Wilks was having...although a losing record can't really be called success, can it?

Not a terribly exciting pick. But not a bad one...

Honestly, some of the best HCs were scoffed at when they were hired.

This is arriving with two trains of thought:
1- This is a ploy by the Bears to increase the price of the #1 pick because it makes it seem like they want to stay at #1.
2- Chicago, being one of the worst run franchises in the NFL and who just hired a guy with a grudge against Fields, really wants to draft a weaker armed, less durable, and less athletic QB.

Because their fans are complete shit.

That being said, Hurts won me my first(at least in this keeper league, i think 2nd ever) ever fantasy championship, so Fly Eagles Fly! :)

I do feel bad for the 49ers, though, 4 QBs this season.

I'm going to agree.

They have to really be regretting that Trey Lance pick. He's shown nothing. Justin Fields has a bigger arm, has more experience, can run better, and is more durable.

11 minutes left in the game, 28-7, 49ers QB is disabled... why is a not-100% Hurts still in the game?

That wasn't a game. That was just a very sad exhibition. Once Purdy went down it was over. Johnson was not ready and then once he went down it was an embarrassment.

You're right, Hurts should have been pulled immediately. The game was over.

Yeah. It was very sad. None of us got the game we wanted, except shitty Eagles fans :)
