Dolphins put up 70 points. :shock:

[MadtownPacker]

Shit is that a record?

[MadtownPacker]

Nevermind thought I had seen the 72 before.

[texaspackerbacker]

Nice to see the damn Vikings lose too. Trust Cousins to throw it to the other team with the game on the line hahahahaha.

[MadScientist]

Bears took 8 minutes longer than I expected before going down a touchdown.

[King Friday]

Cowboys shitting the bed. Always fun watching that.

[red]

how the hell are the bears in the "game of the week"?

gave up 34 in the first half

that whole team needs an enima

and theres another TD

There must be some mandate that a team gets a game of the week. And there was a lot of hype before the season started. Plus Taylor Swift was there, and at the mom she is more popular than the NFL and NASCAR combined.

I'm sure the Bears will do another housecleaning after the season, to try and turn the corner. They've been turning the corner so much they are going in circles.

[pittstang5]

Watching Sunday Night Football. I miss D. Adams. I still don't know how he's always open.

[Joemailman]

Broncos gave up 726 total yards to Dolphins. Or 140 more than the Packers gave up in 2012 playoff game vs 49ers.

[Joemailman]

Not sure if we can say The Bears suck. To suck you have to be breathing.

In honor of rbaloha.

[MadScientist]

Raiders offense is runs for nothing and Chuck it to Devante Adams. Why does that sound familiar?

[MadScientist]

They look like a very bad team that was deflated by bad news all week. At this point they should just give their backup QB a chance, move Fields to RB, and steal McGough from the Packers PS.

I'm surprised how bad they are defensively. Eberflus had some very good defenses at Indy when he was DC there.

[King Friday]

The Bears front office is a joke. They don’t have any impact players on defense. They made a couple second tier FA signings and thought that would be enough to fix a putrid defense?

In any case, I still firmly believe everything comes back to the football gods punishing Chicago for the monstrosity they made out of Soldier Field. You can do that sort of shit to an art museum (i.e. the Louvre) but the football gods are not going to stand for that kind of crap.

[Joemailman]

Bears and Broncos play each other next week. A bad team will get a win.

[King Friday]

Devante has to be kicking himself for going to Vegas. I’m sure he likes living there, but the losing football has to be eating him alive. Jimmy G is a less talented Kirk Cousins, and isn’t any better than Carr.

[MadScientist]

It's the classic moveable object vs the resistible force. With those crappy teams, a tie is still possible, either 0-0 or 49-49 depending on which side of the ball is crappier.

[bobblehead]

Sitting at Red Rock book watching end of Raiders/steelers. Pitt trying to give this away. LV fans getting annoying.

[Fritz]

Wouldn't it be wild if the Vikes and Bears got the #1 and #2 overall picks next draft? We'd have two new hotshot QB's coming into the NFC North. And while the Jest defense is too good for this to happen, what if they end up drafting so high in the first round that they have a chance to draft maybe the third-ranked QB in the class?

Does the Woodenheimer pick up the phone and call Aaron to see if it's okay if they draft him? (If he did, I'll guess Rodgers will, this time, be all gracious and shit, just to show the world he really is a great guy and him fuming over Love was really just talk.)

Or does Woody puss out and just draft the best offensive tackle sitting there? Or does he dare to draft a rookie wide receiver in the form of Marvin Harrison, Jr.??

Oh, it's so different trying to run a team when you have an aging HOF QB.

Davante can’t do it without 12.

[Joemailman]

Davante can’t do it without 12.

He had 170 yards and 2 TD's last night.

[RashanGary]

He had 170 yards and 2 TD's last night.

Yeah, and ridiculous numbers last year. He’s pushing for a HOF induction at this point

[MadtownPacker]

Enough clownspeak, the real question is what could Davante have done with number 10?….

Won a bunch of games this year and last, probably.
Also would have absolutely screwed up the salary cap, cost them Quay and Christian Watson (picks from the LV trade), and blocked younger WRs from getting live snaps to help them develop.

I love Davante and he's a great player, but I'm fine with how things are shaking out. I think he's getting a bit of a raw deal in LV with losing his BFF Carr, but he's still a top 5 WR and probably loving being close to the West Coast.

[run pMc]

He can do just fine.
Here's a better one: How much do you think Lazard and Cobb are enjoying playing with Zach Wilson?

The man was perhaps the best Packer wide receiver I've ever watched, and that goes back to being a kid and seeing Dowler and Dale, James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, and on and on. He might be better than Sterling Sharpe, I think.

Rodgers needed Adams way, way more than Adams needed him, though as we can see from the quote above, he's got no patience with whatever it is that's happening in LV. I do think, though, he really really wanted to play on the west coast, so if LV is going to try to make a trade, he might push them to keep him on the west coast somewhere. SF? San Diego? Seattle?

Who knows. He doesn't sound happy, though.

I don't have any interest in giving up more than a 3rd for a 31 y.o. WR who wasn't happy here before. I might even insist he take a pay cut on the next 2 years of his deal. I don't think we can win an Owl this year even if we were to bring him home, so I wouldn't want to give much up. Doubt it happens anyway.

You really think they are the miserable ones? If I'm Wilson I gotta be asking "who signed these snail fossils?"

[Joemailman]

Saw some replays of Wilson's struggles. He usually has had some time to throw. He's either not seeing guys get open, or guys are not open. It's probably some of both. It's the perfect storm: A bad QB playing behind a bad OL with mostly slow receivers.

[MadScientist]

There must be some mandate that a team gets a game of the week. And there was a lot of hype before the season started. Plus Taylor Swift was there, and at the moment she is more popular than the NFL and NASCAR combined.

So, viewership for that crappy Bears-Chiefs game was 24.3M, with lots of women tuning in. For the opening week Packers-Bears game it was 16.3 M. Expect every Chefs game to feature a lot of Taylor Swift. Networks and the NFL know how to milk a cash cow.

[Freak Out]

Davante is not better than Sharpe was.

[Fritz]

Davante is not better than Sharpe was.

Hmm. Of course that is a valid point of view but I am curious as to what your reasoning is. Maybe I need to go back and watch some Sterling Sharpe film.

[bobblehead]

I'd say both were dominant and even similar in style. Sharpe had his career cut short, so D would get the nod from that standpoint. As for "at their best" I'm not sure I can pick a winner.

I just took a quick peak. Sharpe actually didn't miss a game through 7 years by the looks of it. D missed plenty. Through 7 years its super close, but D kept playing and had back to back 1500 yard seasons for career highs.

Prior to Adams playing longer than Sharpe I would easily have went Sharpe. Those last 2 years have been special, and for a post 30 y.o. WR, he is still balling big time.

[smuggler]

Some of Davante's best seasons will have been in Raiders colors. He was amazing, but I will take Sharpe if I can only have the one.
