One way traffic in Arizona so far this morning. Sounds like the Broncos have more fans than the home team.

It was like watching the Rams under Fisher...

Strange... sure their bac’ up is getting more yards on a lot less carries but that will change when he is the only back and in obvious carry situations that Hyde would have taken and for only a 5th round!!! Jags got a steal in my opinion.

Agree, I think that's a big win for the Jags, given they know their offence stinks without Fournette so they need someone to be able to capably run the ball.

Funny trade, signs a 3 year 15mil contract with the Browns and then he’s gone. Granted Chubb is performing better than expected.

Very good get for the Jags. I think a power runner will suit them. As long as he stays healthy, can be injury prone.

Jags stinking it up so far.

2 minutes after writing that Jags bench Bortles!

But still stink. Worse than one of Van Houtens'.

Looks like nearly everyone (possible everyone) is getting points this week. Barring a disaster in San Francisco.

How about the end of the Dallas game? Crazy stuff with the snap penalty and the FG smashing into the upright. Made quite a noise too.

A few great finishes actually... Ravens one blew me away. And the Browns one.

[Macca 16,173]

Yeah,  there were a number of standout moments today ...

• Titans going for the win instead of taking the game to overtime with a converted point after.  In such a tight division that decision was quite questionable.
• Rams & KC careering away from the rest .. both look morals for the 1 seed in each conference.  Saints & Pats are close enough but the top 2 will need to start losing.
• Eagles lose again ... 3 & 4 now and in a bit of trouble.  Panthers staged an excellent comeback though and they might be alright too.  Washington keep winning.
• Vikings are well and truly back on track and they should take out the NFC North unless they slip up or unless the Packers can win against the odds in the next 5 weeks.
• Chargers win again and go to 5 & 2.  They should be able to secure a wild-card but a division win will depend on KC slipping up.  With Mahomes playing lights-out as he is,  that's not likely

Just finished watching the highlights, suicidal snap penalty. Pushing it back to a 52 yarder. Hits the upright, Cowboys lose, all is good in the world.

By the way I’ve officially had enough of Cris Collinsworth. I will be watching all Sunday night games with the sound down from now on. 

[Clintosaurus 6,463]

Amari Cooper traded to the 'Boys. For a first round pick it seems.

Really? I like those two.

I miss Mike on MNF.

[Gorgoroth 12,325]

The browns found a new way to lose a game, I truly feel for their fans.

Love Al. Used to not mind Cris but all I ever hear from him now is the following line:

"Here's a guy who *insert point being made here*".

I also miss Mike. Underrated.

I don't so much. They've got a lot to love about that team now. They're in much, much better shape already. I'll be watching them fondly over the next 3-5 years. Chubb taking over at RB a good move too. And I really like Mayfield.

Very pleased with this as an Eagles fan. A bit worried about what it does against NFC East oppo this season, but he wasn't as big of a deal to the Eagles going forward as he would be to Cowboys. Howie offered a second rounder, which is as high as I'd have wanted him to go... With Alshon, Ertz and Agholor I don't think he'd have made enough of a difference. Force Cowboys to give up a first for him... I reckon everyone wins in this one. NFC East is a dumpster fire this year, but it got interesting, at least, with that signing.

Just did a lazy ladder predictor. A bit too early probably, but I still like to get a rough idea... based solely on what we've seen so far...

NFC:

North: Green Bay win the Div over the Bears who get the wild card. Min a wasted season on 8-7-1

South: Saints all the way 14-2.

West: LA go 16-0 (they probably don't but it won't matter). Gurley to be rested for last 2 weeks. Seahawks get the other Wild card with 10-6. Redskins and Panthers probably the big challengers there.

East: Eagles and Redskins are two months away from a week 17 fight for the NFC East crown. Winner goes through 9-7.

AFC:

North: Ravens clinch. Steelers get wild card. Or the other way round. Cincy struggle as the season goes.

South: Houston will play Jax for the crown in week 17. I take Houston.

East: Patriots... yawn...

West: Arguably the best Div in football.. KC 13-3, Chargers 12-4 for the wild card.

Hard to argue with that Dappa, except we won’t go 16-0

we will drop a few games, have Packers, saints and. Chiefs in the coming weeks. Can’t see us winning them all.
