Dolphins winning. 

Makes our result that much more important.

Pitt-Balt getting chippy

Ok, we are now on to the Baltimore v Pittsburgh game.

[Ann]

That was a good stop for Pittsburgh. Let's see if they hold on.

Oh, and KC is still a 20 point favorite over the Jets.
 

The Chiefs are favored by 20 points against the Jets this weekend, a number so large that it’s been reached fewer than a dozen times in NFL history.
 

The most recent? Well, that included the Jets, too — they closed as a 21-point underdog against the Patriots early last season, a line they actually covered in a 30-14 loss.

 

And the final was 35-9, KC. Wow.

● Pittsburgh @ Baltimore -  Baltimore? My thought is someone needs to beat Pittsburgh if they aren't to run away with the #1 seed.

 

Pittsburgh wins, 28-24 they are now 7-0

Why wasn't time added to the clock for the defenders injury time-out?

[Mahoney]

Two years ago that's not a game we win. I'm trying to keep it positive today so... there it is! 😉

Did you see the stats on that game? Rams had almost 500 yards offense vs. the Fish with 150. Tua under 100 yards...rough day, it seems.

How'd those style points work out for the Rams?

(I am gonna remember that game for the "ugly win" whiners.)

This was messed up.

Jimmy G out with an ankle issue. Mullen going in.

Really? Ya think? They need to suspend him. You can't have players going around punching other players during a game.
 

From NFL.com:

</snip>
 

Chicago Bears receiver Javon Wims attacked New Orleans Saints defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson midway through Sunday afternoon's match and was ejected. He could face a stiffer penalty soon.
 

</snip>
 

Midway through the third quarter of the Bears' 26-23 overtime loss, Wims, unprovoked, approached Gardner-Johnson from behind and proceeded to punch the DB in the helmet twice, the first time with a closed fist. Gardner-Johnson seemed stunned and just stood there as teammate Janoris Jenkins jumped on the WR's back to break up the fight.
 

Wims was immediately ejected.
 

"I am really, really bothered by that third-quarter incident," Bears coach Matt Nagy said after the game, via NFL Network's Stacey Dales. "It bothers me. I'm proud of the guys that played hard. The guys that were selfless."

so funny, i first saw this post and said yep, bookies clean up when the under hits..then remembered..oh yes, Vegas has a team!

 

I usually am a pretty active gambler BTW, have not made a single bet on the NFL this year.

Bucs vs Giants tonight. Now lemme see, do I want to hear the booth drool over Tom Brady as the Giants get stomped?  Hmmm decisions, decisions.

When I ask myself such questions, I always arrive at the same answer: There are 16 regular season games. The pause between seasons is insufferable because I don't follow any other sports. So I'll watch any game the NFL puts on. I'll watch Week 4 Preseason. I'll watch the freaking Pro Bowl. I'll watch a Marsha slobberfest. I take it all because it has to sustain me.

Giants putting up a fight so far.   But honestly, if they have a shot at one of the 3 big QBs in the draft, they have to pull the trigger, right?

 

Admittedly I don't watch the Giants much anymore, but I just don't see it with Jones.
