My bold strategy didn't pay off 

It has for some, including this season already

There is often a trap game, but predicting those occurances is tricky

Last year (and the year before) we had 2 x 4 week stretch's where no one gained a point

In fact, 2 seasons ago 2 participants failed to gain a point at all! 

But we've changed things a bit where 1 point is awarded for 2 out of 3 (ain't bad)

Yeah the meatloaf should stop the zero points happening again.

 

Talk of Stafford being traded is being whispered around. And I've even heard Kupps name.

Tua has been placed on IR. 

So Miami down their QB for 4 weeks minimum, I think this could end their season as a serious threat. (not that I thought they would win the SB)

Will he be forced to retire though?

That would definitely get the Dolphins down the pecking order very fast.

They said they have done it so he doesn't have to feel like he has to rush back and he can take time to consult specialists in concussion and not have media asking when he is back etc.

So as for retirement i assume that will depend on the advice, I mean this was a innocuous hit, I mean he hits Damer in the chest/arm so its not even helmet to helmet. 

If he does go on, he needs to slide when he runs, this was an avoidable hit and one he should have slid on.

No tipping the Niners again this week, another shock upset would be trouble but Gorg hanging it on me would be double.

It never ceases to amaze me how few QBs actually know how to slide properly. I used to think it was a basic fundamental of being a QB but there are quite a lot who don't do it well consistently. Guys like Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray are naturals but it almost seems like if you didn’t play baseball as a kid or in college it’s just something you have to learn on the fly. I get it that players are competitive and want those extra yards but you’ve got the slide rule to help you, why risk it?

As Aaron Rodgers once said: “Slide, you’re too damn talented.”

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

Yeah I would be learning that technique for protection but if you start and they hit you its also 15yrds! And when you watch that hit, Tua just runs into him with his head down. He essentially knocks himself out.

Have you seen Jayden Daniels attempts at sliding? Next Tua waiting to happen.

They are seriously suggesting we give up Stafford and a third rounder for young… who pays these fools?

Media across all sports are getting dumber whilst being paid more.

Rams have missed 33 tackles so far... Most in the NFL, niners have the least missed with 6. We play each other this week... Ha ha oh boy.

Kittle out for the Niners helps a lot, I honestly think this game will be decided by the defence, and the Niners have a clear advantage there.
