Well back at the ranch, the Giants with another epic fail. I hope they fire Schoen the guy that gave Danny dimes 40 million and let Saquon go. Back to the draft…..

If you lose to the Panthers, don't they throw you out of the league?

If ever an argument for European football/soccer relegation in US sports.....

I'm a life-long Bills fan, stuck in the middle of Jets/Giants country. I have no love for the Giants after wide right in XXV, and take great joy in watching former Bills coordinator Brian Daboll pretend that he's a good head coach and destroy the Giants for several years.

The only positive thing that big blue has ever done for Bills fans is crush Tom Brady twice in Superbowls.....

Sam Darnold is starting to look more like Sam Darnold. His regression throughout the season is concerning and statistically he is the strongest in the first half of games, and much worse the later the games go mainly looking at completion %'s. That's not a good mix as the playoffs approach. Lots of truth will be told when we play some good offensive teams coming up where we need to score more (Cardinals and Falcons in December). We won't be able to rely on the defense to always get turnovers.

Could the Steelers be the team that could beat the Chiefs in the AFC? Looking forward to their xmas day matchup.

Rounding into form? They almost lost to the Jags despite having Saquon

Wins are all that matter. I'll take being 7-2 and atop the division at the mid point (with the Saquon drop being the only thing keeping us from 8-1 and atop the NFC). The team is going in the right direction. Thursday will be a good test to see how legit our Defense is.

It's always fun watching Dallas implode.

It sure is fun to watch as a non-Cowboys fan. And this whole bit on the sunlight shining through one end of the stadium and blinding players....hasn't that always been a thing there? The culture is so poor in that locker room that they are complaining about things like that now.

Someone on ESPN was recommending that the Cowboys hire Deion Sanders as the coach. Can you imagine the entertainment value?

Hard to argue with that like Parcells says you are what your record says you are but I’d be concerned if I were you w the head coach after the way your team imploded last year

.

The game of the season didn't disappoint this afternoon.

You're welcome, Miami Dolphins fans.....

Bengals are a joke. Unreal offense, defense doesn't show up anymore. Horrible coaching. Should only have 1 or 2 losses. Such a shame.

Yeah things are out of sorts with the Bengals. I watched their last 2 games pretty closely and their offense is unreal. A coaching change makes sense, at least on the defensive side.

It's definitly coaching on both sides of the ball. The play calling and not being able to finish games is very apparent. I really don't think Mike Brown (owner) would axe Zac Taylor. I think they are besties and he won't make that move. Hell...it took him years to get rid of Marvin Lewis.

The defense needs a complete overhaul. Need better oline play.

They had KC beat..until the defense gave it up.
They had the Ravens beat twice, but the defense didn't show up.
First game of the season, they should have won against the Pats.

The offense can't keep scoring 30+ points a game to try and win it. The defense is just a huge struggle right now that has no quality players. I can only think of two right now. The rest...not so much.

They have 6 games left, in order:

Bye Week 11/24
Steelers 12/1
Cowboys 12/9
Titans 12/15
Browns 12/19
Broncos 12/29
Steelers 1/5

I can see them going 5-1 or 4-2 for rest of the year. Not sure if that is good enough to make the playoffs. Need the Broncos to lose a few and the Bengals to beat them in addition to the few losses I hope they suffer.

I'm going to be disappointed if the Lions don't win the big game this year. As long as the key players stay healthy they shouldn't lose.

My Vikes were on the good side of some sketchy penalties against the Titans yesterday. I guess we got paid back for that no-call facemask during the Rams game? I feel like the Vikes will have a let down game in Chicago this week.

The Steelers might be my favorite AFC team. I really like their coaches and they got some good vibes going.

Vikes have secured at least a .500 season!
Pretty clearly they have a wild card in the future

Seasonal expectation is complete!

Last week it was a sunlight issue. No problem. This week is a night game.

That was another brutal showing by the Cowboys. And there was that issue with pieces of the roof falling prior to the game. It was all pretty poetic.

The Cowboys are obviously Tanking so any comments about them this season is irrelevant. My understanding from a local reporter is they've been tanking the entire season.

Look, I feel for the Cowboy players. I feel for the fans too. The lack of success they have gone through this whole century-to-date must be heartbreaking. To be that good and then that not so good is devastating.

What I take great joy in is watching Jerry Jones when they turn the camera on him at the games with that "oh god, not again" look on his face. The way he treated Landry and Johnson, to name a few, is disgusting. His insistence on playing the role of general manager when clearly it's not working in terms of on-the-field success is pretty shocking at this point. To his credit, he certainly has built a valuable organization.

For the players and the fans, I wish the Cowboys well.

Speaking of General Managers, the Jets fired their GM today.

Jets = Just End The Suffering

I believe that finally.... A substantial amount of local fans who are normally season ticket holders, have tired of JJs bullshit antics and lipservice! Clearly the stadium was much more empty than ever before and local talk radio has folks completely unleashing on his sorry, Senile ass.
I for one have refused to buy any Tickets or Merchandise until this Team WINS something significant like a NFC Championship. Until then, I will watch on TV. Which I'm not even doing this season.
