i had planned to pick the vikings so glad i forgot to put my tips in yesterday

packers chiefs ravens

Stafford passes Dan Marino into outright 9th all time completed passes made.

For all the fools that have said he isn’t that good nor should be a first ballot HoF QB….

EAT A GIANT BAG OF THEM!

Nice win by the Rams today, bad call at the end but realistically would it have mattered? Vikings hadn't scored a TD since 1st quarter and had to go the entire field with about 1 min 40s and no timeouts. Not impossible but unlikely

Rams with Nakua and Kupp back are a whole different ballgame, NFC West up for grabs and they hold a tiebreaker over SF already.

All these people picking the Jets, you crazy. I mean we should win running away with it but I've watched too many Jets games to get too confident. In fact this has the makings of a Drake Maye breakout game just to officially kill our season off and add to the misery of Jets fans everywhere thinking the Pats have found a QB already.

Hahahahahaha what did I say? This franchise is a [censored] clown show, I don't know how you ever fix this, send them to England, London Jets has a good ring to it (nice Red Dwarf reference too).

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

The bears Corner celebrating to Washington fans as the play starts, he then runs to the pile and he is the one to hit the ball to the Washington player... karma bus just smacked him hard!

wow

With a 2nd string QB (Jameis Winston) ... but to be fair to Jameis, he had a fine game throwing 334 yards and 3 TD's (no interceptions)

The Eagles look to be back in form as well

Quite a few talking points in the NFC with Washington & Green Bay continuing to win (Love injured again but Malik Willis is a ready replacement)

Although, Detroit are likely division winners in the NFC North ... Vikes, Packers and maybe the Bears playing for wild-card spots

And any of the 4 teams in the NFC West could win that division with the Rams & Niners getting their starters back

Atlanta have a great chance to win the NFC South with their next month to tell a story

Winston should have been picked the play before the winning TD, Ravens player flat dropped it.

Yeah sure and that dropped catch draws the focus ... but I see numerous dropped catches in every game 

They are like free kicks in footy

As an aside, are there ever any holding calls on a hail-mary?

Of course, but when its at the end of the game its more of a focus. 
But Winston flat balled out. Ravens offense is always decent but the run game was no where near as good and the Ravens D is the weak spot for the team.

The focus should always be on the whole game 

For instance, years ago a team was seemingly gifted a SB berth on the back of a bad call right at the end of the NFC Championship game

But that same team copped a couple of bad calls in the first half

[Macca 17,113]

Dropped catches should be a stat ... as should non-attempts!!  

I'm damn sure the coaches would keep stats for those sorts of misses

That wasn't a bad call, it was a good call :P

And I agree with you, but its what we do.

Ha ha!

The yanks should get it right with their stats as what we see doesn't present the right picture

Especially the dropped catch howlers!!  

Where as Baseball goes the other way.  The stats in that sport are almost too meticulous!
