    Looks like the Queens have traded for Captain Kirk. The same “You like that!” Kirk.

      Justin Jefferson the happiest man in the NFL. Cousins has been playing well for Raiders.

        Didn't the damn Vikings start 6-0 sometime in the past and then end up 9-7 and not even make the playoffs? If so, I wouldn't bet against it happening again. We all know the old line, "the Bears still suck". I think we can add to that, "the Vikings still choke".
        What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

          I hate watching scheme breakdown videos because they always trigger the Chicken Little in me.

            I'm usually the same. But I'm thinking here, my gosh, if they can't figure out blitz pickups by the tenth game of the season, then the team is well and truly fucked and heads have gotta roll. Steno and Butkiss - you know what's coming, and now you've got two veteran guards who know how to play the game. Sure, Williams at center is the weak link, but man, you better have the blocking schemed up correctly and you'd better play your best two guards out there. Having Brooks back for this one would be nice but doesn't sound likely. Whoever the RB is, they'd better know the basics of picking up blitzes, and be able to execute.

              Did you ever think you would be excited to hear that TyRon Hopper would be available for a game? I really hope his is. If Franklin returns, he and McDuffie can play the Mike well. But Hopper is the one who can handle the Will in space.

                Packers signed a TE to the PS Tuesday. They could have had Zack Kuntz and his perfect 10.00 RAS score, so never let it be said Gute is just assembling a track and field team.

                Fletcher is a converted DE.

                    I have little faith in our coaches, but Love has seen Flores defenses a number of times and he played well early on in game 1. That said I'm benching him for Purdy in fantasy and I'll be thrilled if Love puts up a huge line and makes me regret it (as long as we win).

                      Actually Gutes tried to make it Kuntz, but he kept giggling when saying his name so he said fuck it, and picked up Fletcher

                        Way back when the Detroit Tigers had an outfielder named Rusty Kuntz. I kid you not.

                          You do not want a Rusty Kurtz, but it's far worse if your Zach Ertz.

                              The Packers have opened Skyy Moore’s return-to-practice window. Zaire Franklin, Sean Rhyan still DNPs. Javon Bullard a new DNP. Trey Smack has a calf injury, seemingly not ideal for a kicker. And more on the first injury report of the week:​
