I watch my fantasy stats more than the actual games these days to be honest.

Just turned into a drama queen show of penalties every other play - and there is no other sport I've seen where someone does a celebration dance (or ball spike, or yell, etc...) when they are down by 4 touchdowns. It makes zero sense to celebrate that you are still losing lol - yet I see it all the time.

I was having my greatest fantasy football season of all time as I loaded up on Cowboys in my leagues this year thinking they were going to have an all time scoring season. It started perfectly, but things are not going well anymore...

Zeke sucks in pass pro. Watch the first reply to that tweet too to see how Ionidis threw him like my 5 year old son last year.

In that instance (and lately?), sure. He used to be quite good at pass protection :( Fumbly bumbly lately too. Maybe I'm just remembering his tOSU glory days where I watched him and the team far more intently.

Lions were doing a halfway decent job of footballing. Unfortunately Stafford was struck with a malady in the 4th that caused him to forget what color jerseys his team was wearing. Kept giving the ball to the colts players

You should know by now not to get your hopes up! ;)

Also the Colts are better than their record indicates.


Meanwhile WTH has gotten into Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins!?!

:oops:

Oh no hopes were up. I watch to see what new and innovative ways they find to lose. Just wish we weren't locked into local games as I'd rather have some other game options

Vikings must have a split personality. They looked great today and beat Green Bay. The previous week against Atlanta they looked absolutely terrible.
The running game was going great today, though, so that took a lot of the pressure of Cousins. Just reinforces my opinion that he has talent, and can play well when everything is going well, but very rarely if ever is able to take the team on his back and elevate them when things are not going well.


BTW, If "Indy Colts fan" sees this, I may have to take back what I said about Rivers. He has played well the last couple of games. Lets see if he can keep that up at a consistently high level.

You're not going to hear from ICF about Rivers...dude hates that guy, so I've always been curious about his ability to bear this season (maybe the next 2?) with Rivers leading his team, in whatever sheepish tolerance that he can muster, lol.

As for Rivers, he's definitely not having his worst season so far, so that's awesome. (I call them the Indianapolis Wolfpack this year, because of so many NC State dudes on that team right now: Rivers, Brissett, Hines...and I feel like I'm forgetting a DL or something. hmm)

The Packers have a knack for losing to the teams with the worst records.

What in the world was going through the Saint's head there at the end?

They had 1st down, a 34 yd FG to win in OT, 1:40 on the clock, and no timeouts for the Bears. And instead of kneeling to leave like :05 on the clock they went ahead and kicked it! I get having confidence in your kicker but that is stupidity on an absolutely epic level.

They didn't want to risk getting punched anymore.

OMG .... and the Eagles are supposed to be the BEST team in the NFC East? The entire division is just bad.

How embarrassing. :confused:

Sean Payton is probably one of the worst 4th quarter coaches ever. He just is.

yeah it was ridiculous. wondering what that dude said about the Bear's guy's mom or...more likely, what Saint's dude told Wim (Bears guy), that other Saints dude said about Wims mom.

whatever it was, it was all personal and only the Bears guy was in on it, lol.

I love how the Saint's player just stood there in shock. It doesn't really hurt to get punched in the head with your helmet on. It's more of a surprise than anything.

I laughed pretty hard watching the replay.

I tried to post a vid of the saints player poking the other guy in the face before the fist was thrown...didn't post.
It's in this story:

Bears-Saints players fight in middle of tight game

A fight broke out Sunday night in the third quarter of the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears game.

uh, why does he go after some dude because he sorta poked a teammate in the face mask? This makes no sense. Teammate shmeamate, you still don't go after someone else for anything like that.

True that.

But to do it completely out in the open, after the play is over, at a critical time in the game, at a critical point in the season for the Bears????

There's something really special about that guy. Astonishing.
