I'm a little over 2 points up with that big run. Even a Rams pick can't win it for him.

Rams right on top now. Oakland stopped dead.

Yeah. Oakland secondary is doing a job.

You picked it. All on the Gurley man.

Agree on all points. I reckon the hurry up they're doing generally gets corrected within the second half. Chip Kelly used to do this. It works here and there but not for a whole game.

Well THAT helps.

Bloody hell Cook should be making you feel more sick. Who are your linebackers?

Well that gives me hope. Tell you what, nothing's changed. Rams still great to watch.

Gee whiz... phew

lol... See? Man that hurts me. I'm against Rams D... And I have Gurley... and am 10 points adrift now. Need 100 yards from Gurley plus a score I think.

I'm still not too worried. The hurry up they're doing to interrupt Donald ans Suh won't last forever.

IKR. ALl those names and that's the one they go for? This is Rams D for goodness sake...

Settled down now. This is the inverse of the Eagles Falcons game that started the round. Seeing some pretty damn good football from both sides.

Some of the fan-made Youtube clips reviewing the bad times reminded me of what he did back when he took over. He sat next to Neeld in the presser after he fired him and said we're dragging the competition down. He was there for arguably the worst time, just before he got Roos and the new Dawn began. He's gonna be missed in his role.

This. Something's missing now that he's changed jobs. The cynic in me suspects it's to do with his new employers pulling strings. It also probably doesn't help that now he can sense he's the go-to-guy for footy media now. When he sets an agenda he sees it play out over the media landscape in a way other footy writers only dream of. Maybe it's gone to his head? I know when he was climbing the relevance ladder he was much more impressive and reasonable minded, especially when it came to sifting through complicated issues that made people too passionate to see a solution. Now that he's on the top of the tree though, there's been a shift. I reckon if he drops a few of his gigs things might improve. That many sports and that much air time... it's gotta dilute your product.

Definitely. And the quality was there to see. Loved seeing him get furious at himself and everyone around him after one of his picks. Kept taking the game on too.

I somehow ended up with Garroppolo in every league. I'm not jumping off him just yet. He did some good things. 250+ yards against Vikings is nothing to sniff one's nose at.

With Rodgers, one of two things happens. Either they scan and reveal minor bruising and soreness that calms down, everyone is relieved and says wow what a performance, how tough is he.... OR.... it's something more major like a strained MCL or whatever, in which case that game takes on even MORE mythical proportions. If it turns out to be the latter... then my god, how did he DO that?

Chargers should be disappointed. They're stacked. Dallas I think will fall away a bit. Dak and Zeke were really mediocre, and i can't see where they turn it around. Hawks losing surprised the hell out of me too. That news will likely get lost in the Bucs/Saints and Packers noise.

I have the mother of all close games in fantasy. Gurley to come for me, then Kerryon Johnson and Rams D to come for my opponent and I'm 6 points adrift. It was game over until Cobb caught his 75 yarder and suddenly I was alive. Cobb = old faithful for me.

Thursday night I was thinking 4-0 would look good. But my goodness, Tampa just smashed a team many have picked to play in the superbowl. Eagles spluttered too... Lots to play out here, and what was an easy win is now nothing like that. Ravens and Vikes, yeah... Vikes everyone knew were good. Ravens looked awesome... But for me it's KC I was most impressed with. Second year QB playing like that. They look a bit scary.

lol Classic demonland NFL tipping comp.

Yeah just saw his post game presser. He said he'd have more answers on Wednesday, but that if he still feels ok he'll play. Half time, with no news, and seeing his face as he was on the cart coming off, and seeing how Kizer was playing, it was season over for Packers... Now it's the complete opposite. I can't remember a game that had such wild swings in implications... from doom and gloom to the best comeback of his career (I think... in terms of score).

A lot of us picked the Steelers, right? Doesn't get much closer than that.

Rodgers adds to the legend.
