Listened to the match between Dallas & the Packers and both teams had their chances to win

So a tie was a fitting result in my view. I was thinking that the Cowboys might win so I'll take the half win

Sorts out the tie-break scenarios at least!!

Prescott was excellent for Dallas as he kept marching his team down the field for the 6 pointers

And more weaknesses exposed at Green Bay ... notably the defence and the passing game is iffy.

Jordan Love was good but not great ... he is what he is

Overtime in Big D !

Packers elect to kick off?

Both teams get at least one possession I believe

Great game. Very impressed with Dallas offence considering lamb is out injured. Pickens was great and Turpin made some important plays. Dak was excellent as well.

Your boys very nearly fluffed the second last play. Only left a second on the clock to kick the field goal to tie it up.

Yep, the clock & game awareness was poor by the Packers at the end ... got lucky

All in all, happy to share the win as I thought it was a real tough task to win in Dallas. Might be a handy half win for both teams when we get to the end of the season

The Cowboys probably have similar issues on defence (?) but when Prescott is on, you're always a chance. Top player

Watched the game on delay, was a cracker, both offences played very well and both D got beaten on the day.

I think Love would be copping a spray from coach for nearly blowing the time.

But a fun game to watch.

Jags 3-1. Should be 4-0. Have seen nothing of today's game but promising signs so far. Chiefs next week to smash the momentum though.

They were good, Lawrence looks comfortable with the new system and special teams did a great job.

However we did make it easy for them. Too much soft zone coverage and no-where near enough pressure on Lawrence. The interior D-line continues to impress me against runs but without Bosa on the edge they are seriously lacking.

Purdy was either not fit to play or just terrible. His two picks were awful, especially the one into triple coverage. On the other one he would have taken the short underneath throw to CMC in the past, now he's looking deeper a lot. The fumble on the last drive was really disappointing as well, to not even get a few plays just sucked the life out of everyone and that was the story of the day - defense doing their best, getting off the field and then getting straight back on because the offense couldn't generate anything.

Purdy has the contract now and whether it's fair or not it means people are looking at him through a different lens. He did a lot in this game you shouldn't do as a QB and for that money you simply need a better final drive than that.

Jake Tonges is the only real positive for our offense so far, been an impressive scrapping TE. Apart from that I see nothing on offense that suggests we can mix it with good teams. Strange to say at 3-1 but I'm really not feeling it from any area in the team. Defense maybe a little but there are big holes now.

Big game against the Rams this Fri and I'm feeling wobbly.

Saying Purdy might be out again with the toe.
I have Friday off and am looking forward to watching the game live.

Puka is one of 20 WR who have 500yrs in the first four games of the season, the other 19 have done it once only... Puka has now done it twice... and its his third year...

Bengals are cooked this year.
They look awful.

Yep, clearly not right. I hope Mac is ready to go.

Not gonna waste a day off on this one, think Stafford and Puka have a day out. I will watch after I finish though and report.

I'm hoping they can keep the run game going, Corrum and Williams have been a great one-two punch.
Verse had a bandage on his thumb/wrist and was in some discomfort but hope he is good to go.

Definitely getting some nice production out of those two.

We gave Demarcus Robinson 1 target for 1 decent 20 yard catch. If we're not going to use him in a team full of injuries then I don't know why we bothered getting him.

Clint was the only person to pick up a point in week 4, but it could turn out to be a valuable point by seasons end

My RDO a few weeks ago was moved from the Monday to tomorrow, I was a bit flat as I wouldnt be able to potato all da Monday and watch NFL and then relaised the Rams Niners game was that day. I was hoping to spend a few hours running the you yangs before but weather says to me to stay home and make popcorn :)

But tbh, its a div game, I am sure it will be firey and close. I think I'd be more confident with a banged up Purdy.

You gotta love it when a day off lines up with the schedule. Our industry always shuts down the Monday before Melbourne Cup so that is always my day where I chill out with redzone and games and just watch as much football as you can poke a stick at!

Do you do full on trail running? Would be awesome around there. I haven't been able to do a proper 5+ km run this year. Got a grade 3 Spondy (lower back) injury. It's actually been really tough not being able to run ☹️

I do old man trail running ha ha

Last sat was 8k run up and around table top, 95% running, next 2 ks was prob 30% zombie shuffling and the last 2ks 70% run, avg 8:01 per K so I was chuffed.

Vikings, Buccaneers, Chiefs

What a horrible defensive effort in the first.

Absolutely slaughtered all over the field.

Niners will smash us the way things stand.

8:51 left in the second and this game is over.

Last comment on this, two drops in a row then a missed FG.

Defense sitting back all day when Jones has thrown underneath in the middle all game and Shula hasn't adjusted once, like Jones has a cannon like Josh Allen. It's so frustrating and dumb. How the [censored] can't they see the problem isn't 15+yards it's 5yrd then run after.
