Week 8 kicks off with Lamar and the Ravens rolling down to Tampa to take on the struggling Bucs. Jackson is on course to break his own all time rushing record for a quarterback, and that's really been a key for Baltimore while their passing offence has hit a speed bump due to injuries to Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman. Tampa Bay are coming off two consecutive losses, including last week's bury the ball effort against Carolina. The Bucs offence is completely on the skids, Brady has lost connection with his receivers, they have no creativity coming from Byron Leftwich, and the run game is non-existent. 

After a week's respite, we get another standalone Broncos game as the Russell Wilson saga rolls on. Rumours abound that a Denver loss might be the final nail in the coffin for Nathaniel Hackett, which if true, would make him the third shortest tenured HC in NFL history. Jacksonville have handed the keys to their backfield to Travis Etienne after trading James Robinson to the Jets, and considering his recent performances that's an enticing prospect. They might have all been in losses, but in the last three games he has 34 carries for 271 yards - that's 8 yards per rush.

Robinson now teams up with Michael Carter in the Jets backfield as they attempt to deputise for the sadly lost OROY candidate Breece Hall. Jets vs Patriots has been one of the most one-sided "rivalries" in the league with New England winning 12 straight matchups, but with their QB clusterfuck and Gang Green coming off four straight wins, this is surely time to banish their Belichick demons. Elsewhere in the early window we'll see if Justin Fields can keep his momentum rolling against the Cowboys, whose defence will provide a much tougher test than he faced from the Patriots on Monday night.

In the late group of games, the only matchup between two teams over .500 this week is the Giants and Seahawks. Brian Daboll and Pete Carroll are the two clear frontrunners for coach of the year. Both teams are succeeding with a strong focus on their rushing attack, Seattle leads the lead with the highest YPC at 5.5, while Big Blue have picked up the most first downs by rushing. We also get the latest instalment in the 49ers/Rams rivalry, San Francisco looking to bounce back after getting their doors blown off by Mahomes and the Chiefs, by continuing their typical dominance over the defending Super Bowl champions.

SNF would have looked like a slam dunk for NBC in the preseason, but considering the Packers struggle, now appears like a potential blowout. Aaron Rodgers enters this game as a double digit underdog for the first time in his career, and coming off losses to the Giants, Jets and Commanders, Green Bay look primed for the taking by the juggernaut Bills. For as out of sync as the Packers offence has been, it's their defence which has been the biggest disappointment, and on their current form it's hard to see anything but another Buffalo beatdown.

Monday night rounds out the week with an intriguing AFC North matchup between two teams heading in different directions. After a decent start, Cleveland have slumped to four straight losses marked by some questionable game management from Kevin Stefanski. He's under the pump now to keep their season alive prior to the return of Deshaun Watson. On the other side, the Bengals have been going from strength to strength after a sleepy start. They dropped the hammer on the Falcons right from the jump, Joe Burrow throwing for 481 and three touchdowns in a performance that lived up to the preseason expectations of this offence. Chase, Higgins & Boyd all averaged over 16 yards per reception in an explosive showing. The Browns defence is allowing the fourth most points per game so this might be another big day for the Cincinnati offence. 

Can't believe NYG let go of Yung Joka to the Chiefs for a future 3rd and 6th round draft picks. He didn't fit in with the current Giants regime but he is really talented, him getting passes from Mahomes is scary.

Why didn't GB go after Yung Joka UT maturity issues?

Toney clearly just didn't want it. He looked electric in a couple of games, but the potential has to turn into reality at some point. People will project him for success in KC but they have a lot of traffic at WR, and it didn't work out last time they tried to reboot one of the Giants draft busts.

A good job by Schoen to get some decent picks back in return for a guy who hasn't even made it on the field lately, and we already have Wandale working his way more into the offence.

Seeing him on the field(Admittedly however little it was due to the nagging injuries), especially in that Cowboys game, I just don't know how you let that go. He's like a god damn Madden joystick with how shifty he was. There's levels of immaturity but man if the Chiefs can untap that potential and judging by Mahomes reaction, Chief fans have every right to be excited. Easily the most talented WR on their team now. IDK how long it will take for him to get used to the Giant offense but you just need to get him the ball and he will make people miss. I still feel like Yung Joka's swag is there still. 

There's a lot of faith being put on Galladay and even though his contract makes him far tougher to move, the Giants WR depth is lacking. Unless a move for Jeudy or someone is happening, IDK what to think of the Giants WR room. Maybe Beckham Jr?

They've got to 6-1 without a receiver going over 200 yards, no depth needed! No cap room so there won't be a veteran signed, but I wouldn't hate Jeudy, Daboll would know him from his brief time at Alabama.

Pushing the jammer back into the returner is the new special teams trend.

Ravens should be so much better in the redzone than they are. Obviously they want to make up for last week but Lamar too locked in on Mark Andrews there.

Giselle throwing that ultimatum out in the open knowing Tom Brady is going to play on national TV is just ruthless.

You either get a pissed off Brady tonight or a deflated(no pun intended) one that you've seen go on for weeks already. It's the Ravens so I think it is the former. 

Kyle Hamilton has fallen in the Raven doghouse already, not seeing him out in the field...

Happy to see I’m the only one who picked Tampa to win tonight in PW Pickem!

Brady and Evans connection all but evaporating is one of the weirder things I've seen. They are just completely out of sync.

Something tells me that next Thursday's game on Amazon Prime won't be the bigger viewed game between Houston & Philadelphia next week.

Lamar has 30 passes in the first half and one carry on an RPO - what on earth are they doing?

First play of the second half is a Lamar zone read that he runs for 25 yards - you don't say!

I’m not outgrowing football right? Like these games have kind of sucked this season right?

Well I don't know what Baltimore were thinking in the first half but credit where it's due, they've adjusted and are just running it down their throats now.

Linderbaum is eating Devin White for lunch. Bowles called him out the other day for living off the Super Bowl and it has not worked.

This is fucked up

Final score is very flattering to Tampa, they are a completely disorganised mess. Ravens could have killed that off much earlier if they'd held on to one of the many interception chances they were presented with. There is some schadenfreude seeing Brady so frustrated, but it's also a bit sad to see. The coaching is disastrous and running back this team for a third season hasn't worked, they are totally lifeless.

Baltimore took some blows with Bateman and Andrews not making it through the game, plus Gus the Bus getting injured again, but getting Ronnie Stanley back is big, and preseason icon Isaiah Likely stepped up in Andrews' absence.

And yay there's some Pac-12 after dark to keep me entertained the rest of the afternoon.

I thought it was "loljetslol" when people excused why Todd Bowles could not work in NYJ. "He needs a quarterback" "It was a situation no one could make better" "His general manager ruined any chance he had".

Now people wake up and smell the coffee that Todd Bowles is a bad head coach and has little to no pulse on running the entire team.

When people tell you flat out for FOUR YEARS that he is a terrible head coach(Great guy though), maybe listen to them media instead of hiding behind lazy narratives.

Our social media team has the energy of a 1990’s Gushers commercial and I love it:

Breaking news: The Buffalo Bills social media team has been suspended for violating the leagues's substance abuse policy after they were found snorting cocaine off a first-down marker.

CIRCLE THE WAGONS *snnooooorrrt*

Bills mafia likes the booger sugar.

Embarrassing this Broncos/Jags game is tied to a paywall, said it last week, will say it again. If you are paying for sport channels such as ESPN, you should not have to double down 9.99 to watch this game.

Trevor Lawrence threw a pretty easy TD on Denver's pretty good defense, pretty surprising.

Thought Denver would put a better effort today, Hackett should not get the full season the way Denver is playing out there. So many mistakes. 

Russ should have done more high knees.

Ill advised throw by TLaw, its 1st and goal at the 1. Throw it away instead of trying to throw into a tight window for Jones. Like you have Christian Kirk and his tallframe, use him.

Denver just needed to get it in a manageable spot for McMannus to give you a shot for a long FG to tie it before the half but Wilson holds onto the ball and eats a sack...

Had Dulcich available to get some yardage for a kick, absolute detractor for my keeper league team given I have both Dulcich and McMannus.

Yeah man. I got Dulcich started in my main league and my opponent had Jeudy. Not a good start for me either.

Hilarious that NOW the Broncos offense is moving when they are targeting Dulcich, what the fuck was Hackett doing in the 1st half?

Lawrence threw another bad one man....you are what your record is as a starter. Jags have talent and got better coaching at this point but getting 5 wins thus far in your first 2 seasons is a bad indictment. Maybe he gets another crack but man that last throw.

Needed dub for the Broncos, glad I rolled with em in the pick em. Lone person who did, this is what will be talked about if I capture 1st. 

I can see the Eagles winning by at least three scores today.
