Yup, agreed on Dallas. They're not unbeatable like last year. But they're still pretty good. Look out for Lawrence.

Who are we tuning into tomorrow morning? Obviously Eagles for me, but i'd really like to see Giants and Chargers. They've got interesting if sputtering offenses. I feel like it'll end up being Rivers throwing for 350+, Eli throwing for less, but Giants getting a running game going. And one side goes to 0-5...

Pats, Vikes, Seahawks

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Feels a lot like the demons midfield. Send someone to Tracca, Jones, Oliver... then Viney gets loose.

Heh. Yeah. I get that totally, I'm doing the same with my boys. It is worth saying every year the Rams do a little something, like Gurley's first year, or when Donald started producing... I took one look and would yawn and say "next." Not this year though. You literally couldn't ask for one more thing from the offense. The OC, QB, RB, wideouts, slots... OK maybe you could use a bit more from TEs... But tbh, how are you supposed to give them the ball with Gurley getting 90+ receiving yards... in a game where he topped 100 rushing... AND you have Kupp, Watkins and Woods who need to feed? And not only all that... but they were clutch too. Against last year's NFC East champs. Looking at the power rankings... Eagles at 3, I laughed. Rams at 10, I stopped reading.

You said the same thing about Dallas. lol Fast forward to the superbowl, Rams vs KC, and you'll say "Gee I dunno, KC are good... win that and I'll start to believe a little bit." Yeah that's true, we're all a bit spoilt right now. Although, it is early days. Last year Eagles were 3-0, then lost to Dallas badly and went 2-9... So early days.

From NFL.com: "Sean McVay is a stud. And he has the Rams (3-1) playing brilliant, winning football. At the quarter mark of the season, the Rams are clearly the team to beat in the NFC West. Yes, over the Seahawks. Forget preseason picks. I truly think the Rams can win the West this year. And this is what happens when you replace a bad coach (Jeff Fisher) with a good one." They make a lot of stuff up, and get behind any team who has a good win like they're a superbowl team. This time though, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Rams are the real deal. And their defense still hasn't gotten going. Settle in Gorg. For this season and probably a few more to come. You're going to be having a lot of fun.

Wow. One team ever. Chargers in '92 went 0-4 then went 11-1 to make it.

All depends on who turns up. Bad Skins, they lose. Skins from last weekend, they'll edge them. What a weird and wonderful NFC East this year. Skins and Eagles supposed to be afterthoughts, third and fourth... They're now 3-1 and 2-1 (could be 3-1)... with Dallas and Gianst 2-6 combined. Crazy. Actually, if the news isn't how good the Rams were, it's how bad the Giants are. Has anyone ever made playoffs from 0-4?

Hunt will add his name right at the top of that list tomorrow.

Oh for gods sake... You shouldn't be listening to MMM or SEN at the moment. Just Tigers nonsense. And yeah. Beating Falcons that way, keeping Ryan ineffective... that has to jump you into a position of respect. I still thought Falcons had them at the end too. NFC just got nice and messy. No more undefeated teams. KC the only one left league wide.

Oh man. I'm gonna miss my 3 successful picks with a FG to end the game here.

He looked even better than he did in weeks 1-3... Didn't panic, made every decision a winner. He'll probably be the biggest story this week.

Gorg you should be a proud Ram. They were absolutely superb. Goff has come of age. Gurley is a star again. And your D was good when it needed to be.

Gee whiz the Rams are fun to watch.

Anyone pick Buffalo?

That's what was weird. They didn't really make a big deal at all during the game. But yes. You'd expect if it's the new norm that players will finally get the message.

As in, I sort of assumed they might let it slide or give a fine tops... But you got it right. Good thing too. Tick, NFL. Well. You know... I will try... but I have to be awake to set my side at 3:55am... SO I might not make it. lol I'm picking Eagles though.

You picked it though. They're obviously going on the heavier end of the penalty, despite it being the first really bad one this year.

Seems there's some noise being made about it now. Often those are a big fine, like 5 figures. Yeah the offense just moves it so smoothly. Very pretty to watch. Ryan is the same as he was last year.

Yup. I have them #1. I still like Dallas to go a long, long way. Green bay is a top 4 side for mine though, even though they can't even spell Offensive Tackle right now.

Yeah they get that part right. Don't tell anyone over on the main board though. NFL isn't a popular term there. I think you'll be ok. Not enough respect given to the Dallas D. I know they're not perfect, and might only flirt with being top 10... but they've got good players there. Playmakers too. I think they'll be alright. I don't see Lions and Vikes being miles past them even on their best day. Bradford and Stafford aren't Rodgers. Lions D isn't all that great. Vikings probably the stiffest competition. You're right though, beating other potential wild card teams will go a long way. 3-1 though is a good place to be... and it's not like the one team they lost to are scrubs.

Each to their own Macca, I guess. There's about 50 things I think need changing in the NFL incidentally. We could do this topic for a long time. For now though... you must be a happy Packer.

Playing devils advocate here, as I agree with you philosophically. Don't you see plenty of those hits every year? DJax used to take one every few weeks nothing changed. Should it be policed? Sure. Will it be? I doubt it a lot. Not even any outrage really on Twitter etc which is where you usually see it. So yeah. I think you're right. It'll take a paraplegic or death to make a change.

The culture is fairly broken. Did you know that they have discovered a better helmet that reduces the risks definitely, but the players never use them cos they look bad? Says it all. Actually a Pack fan should know. A year or two after Rodgers took over from Favre, he had concussion issues and used one of those goofy helmets.
