I like Justin Fields for fantasy purposes, but the dude needs to go. Way too many 4th quarter turnovers by him. The play calling by the Bears was embarrassing tonight. Some High School shit. Screen pass, screen pass, run the ball, run the ball. Just an awful team to watch. Luckily for them, Minnesota played worse.

Not to take more joy in Minnesotas misery but this Dobbs performance is spectacular. After the Atlanta game there was so much insane love for this guy and legitimate talk about him being better than Cousins and extending him going forward. How he’s actually really good. Yeah so good. Dude is a backup at best. Please extend him Minny. Your homerism is showing here because he was a nice story, and celebrating fun things like that should never be discouraged, but yes tonight was rough even if he was a bit unlucky with all those tipped interceptions. The ball he threw out of bounds when Addison was wide open was a total diaster. KOC was already talking post-game about potentially making a change at QB - so I think there's a real possibility that Jaren Hall is back in next week now he's cleared concussion protocol. I like Justin Fields for fantasy purposes, but the dude needs to go. Way too many 4th quarter turnovers by him. The play calling by the Bears was embarrassing tonight. Some High School shit. Screen pass, screen pass, run the ball, run the ball. Just an awful team to watch. Luckily for them, Minnesota played worse. I've been as big a Fields defender as anyone but I think tonight was definitely the nail in the coffin for his time in Chicago. Like you said the coaching certainly hasn't helped him, I have no idea what they were thinking with all the short game stuff, the Vikings defence was able to just sit on it because that was all they were calling, but the two fumbles almost cost them a game they had no business losing. He has streaks where you see potential but it's just not there consistently enough. The Bears defence has forced 8 turnovers over the last two games, and the offence managed to turn that into one sole touchdown. That's just not good enough - it should be a complete reboot for them next season with a new QB and coaching staff. On another note, the one positive for Chicago is that Montez Sweat trade was a home run, he was great tonight. I will never understand people who complain about trading away draft picks for good players.

I can't believe the Panthers fired Josh McCown, he is a universally liked player/coach and if anything, wanted Stroud at QB but was cool with Bryce Young. They can't possibly think it was on McCown for Bryce Young not developing at QB? I can't believe Evero wasn't made interim HC, he did a great job in Denver last year and kept Carolina in games with the defense. They're gonna lose him after this season. #6 defense in the league but the special teams coach is made interim? Now that the weekend is over, I wish Jets would inquire with McCown to have him as the QB coach or shit play QB. He can't be worse than Boyle at this point and time. He was a phenomenal mentor for so many QBs. Evero probably said no. He gets no benefit from taking over a dumpster fire.

Celebrating it I agree , calling him the future of the franchise and best or 2nd best quarterback in the division is delusional and ignorant. And it wasn’t just the fans , we are talking about Vikings professional broadcasters. So homerism maybe but I’ll take joy in being right when I promised it was a fluke and he’d turn back into a pumpkin.

The main issue is under Saleh and co., they refuse to bend their system even if it means catering to the strengths of a player. Zach Wilson got drafted as high as he did because of the gunslinging ability at BYU, having him play as a game manager goes against any logic of letting him do anything at all. Of course he makes terrible decisions and can't process but having him just checkdown passes and trying to make him a pocket passer when he's shown in 3 years he is better on the run is the same shit they tried with Sam Darnold and saw more failures than successes. I know Darnold was Bowles/Gase but it's like rinse/repeat, if you are taking a QB that high, it's because you think they have the ability to make big plays. It's just frustrating to see Hackett try and instill his offense and refuse to work with what he has on the team. Saleh with the cornerbacks staying on an island or him going til death of the belief that his DLine work best off # of snaps instead of letting your top guns play a full series of plays. This isn't a Boyle issue, Boyle should not even be on an NFL 53 man roster on a decent day. This goes so far beyond QB, it's a completely broken team. You can say snakebitten on the O-Line with health or that the Corey Davis/Allen Lazard retiring/bust moves sunk the WR2 onward. You can say trusting Dalvin Cook off injury would be the same was a miss. It's just the Jets truly thought an elderly Rodgers was going to get all his starts in and when that blew up Game 1, the Jets had no plan. Joe Douglas sitting back and not making any kind of move, forget a QB signing was also a blemish. The Jags traded a mere 6th for Erza Cleveland! You can't tell me that he would have slotted in RG and been better than Newman or Glaser! We needed WR help, was Arizona or nobody willing to deal?! Like I said in the past, what this tells me is Joe Douglas & Robert Saleh are safe for 2024 because of the Rodgers injury. Same with Nate Hackett as long as Rodgers gives him the vote of confidence. This year is a wash and punt. I just don't trust this regime in their ability to assess talent. Saleh lets his coaches call shotgun too much with little to no influence and for him to be a truly great HEAD coach, he needs to get involved more on offense, especially if he lets Ulbricht call defensive playcalling. Hey Blindy of last Friday, you nailed it...

Can't really be mad about the Texans loss to the Jaguars, I just hate that we looked ridiculous with those all red uniforms/helmet in a big game like that. Nothing about that color scheme was Texas, that is the name of the team the TEXANS the color scheme is of our state flag. Don't fuck with that, I don't even care for the idea of them trying to incorporate Oilers blue into the colors, stick to the state flag, add the actual flag onto the uniforms or the pants idk, it's the only thing missing to me. I'm not a fan of this swapping and experimenting with uniforms when we are seriously having a chance to go after the division. And is it just me or does it seem like it would make it easier for a quarterback to read our defense when they are solid fucking red all the way?
But Doug Pederson is legit, that was asking a lot of this team to beat them 2 times. They looked like rookie head coach and quarterback in that game. I expected them to win 3 or 4 games this year so I'm not allowing myself to get hopes too high or get mad or disappointed just grateful to see them playing with some heart finally.

I think the red looks great. All the other teams in the division wear blue so they should lean into it more.
The candy red helmet is especially beautiful and fits with the slab car culture of Houston.

Did I put in a keeper league waiver claim on two TE’s this week? Yes. Did I do it mostly to try to fuck with Kid? Yes I did.
Only got Goedert, optimistic he can’t be worse than the Kyle Pitts/Dalton Schultz pairing I’ve had in time for the playoffs.

Von Miller is being investigated for domestic assault. I thought he had that issue a few years ago late with the Broncos. Bills season just has had so many bumps over the past 12 months really.
Hopefully BUF has some out clause on that large contract Miller got a few seasons ago if this is deemed to be true.
