Not only help the Bills but the Chiefs wanted him too. Double win for Buffalo!

Mike Williams for sure looks like trash. That is two games in a row where the games are essentially ended on an INT with a pass intended for Williams. Whatever it is it makes me happy as I think Rodgers is a tool.

Roger’s is a narcissist and not a great leader. A complete primadonna w a long history of calling out teammates. He was in EGYPT during minicamp. Brady or the Mannings would have been leading by example

at 2-4, they probably need to win 8 of the last 11 to squeak in to the playoffs, and unless Rodgers and Adams have one of the greatest 11 game stretches in the history of the NFL, I dont see it happening.

This move makes no sense from a team building position, a short term decision or a long term decision, and seems to only be to appease Rodgers, who I'm willing to bet isnt going to even be there next season.

They were not good enough 4 years ago in Green Bay when they played for a good organization

[DriftinG Z32]

Rodgers is only doing what the Jets organization will let him; and that’s mortgage their future for the present season…maybe next as well. The talent from Rodgers is still there, but he failed to put in the work in the off season to translate that talent out on the field with the Jets. Garrett Wilson has to be frustrated. Not only is Lazard trusted over him and preferred, but now Adams is inbound and will definitely take more targets from him. The Jets will probably make the playoffs but I think they’re one-and-done.

I don’t think Roger’s is nearly as good as he was a few year’s ago. He’s no longer mobile and his selfish ways have caught up. He was terrible against Minny and Denver. Nine points at home, please…..

Gonna be hard for the afternoon game to top the Lions-Vikes and the Packers Texans......woof.

Vikes let that one slip away...

That 3rd and 4 pass where Darnold smoked it too high over Jefferson with about 3 minutes to go......getting that first down could have sealed the game for the Vikes. Darnold missed some other opportunities too.

Our defense had some oh oh moments but goll dang the Lions offense is really good. Great game though.

[lakefront]

Vikes and Lions showed they are legit SB contenders. Who in the NFC is better than them now? Great game that could have gone either way.
Some really good defense played by Packers yesterday and I honestly can't remember thinking that for a damn long time. As the youngest team in the league and with a new D system, think they will only get better. Jordan Love needs to tame some of his Favreish instincts, but some great throws too.
Niners might get competitive if they get healthy but they just don't seem the same this year. The league seems as wide open this year as its been in very long time.

The path to the superbowl in the NFC does seem to be pretty wide open this year. The 49'ers might have a shot with CMC coming back possibly week 10. Tampa had some mojo going but with their injuries sustained last night to their top receivers who knows. Detroit is the best NFC team. In the AFC, the Chiefs and Ravens are on top.

Definitely agree lakefront . Right now I would have to give the edge to the Lions and Vikings as long as they stay healthy, and I also feel that the Packers belong in that conversation as well. Not so sure about the rest of the NFC. Eagles, Commanders, Bears and Bucs may be other contenders, but at the present moment the Super Bowl runs through the NFC North.

[JMcLellan]

I thought Cooper Kupp would be traded this week, or at least riding the bench while the Rams shop some trades. Not only is he playing but looks like Puka Nacua will also play. The Rams are sending all of it at the Vikes tonight.

Also, from a fantasy perspective I have Nacua but I think he will be eased back into the mix so I'm going to have him sit this week out. Hopefully I do not regret that.

[eliphil]

This year is wide open no dominant team. Someone has to prove they can beat Coach Fumblerooski…..

This surely didn't help! This ref should be investigated immediately, and if no dirt found, fired for incompetence. It's crap like this that is a horrible look when the NFL has chosen to get into bed with legalized gambling.

Lol. Yes, this should have been called and the Vikes given a fair chance to tie the game. Either way the Rams were the better team on Thursday night though.

[JMcLellan]

So Lions and Chiefs in the superbowl this season? The Lions might not lose again this year...... Aside from those two teams things look wide open.

Sorry to the Cowboys fans but Dallas looks broken. Something has to change to save their season and my vote is new coaching.

[MoeTE87]

Bengals are done. They need to fire Zach Taylor and rebuild.

JMcLellan …. Cowboys are definitely broken! Have been for some time now. There is so much wrong in that organization! No run game, over paid QB, can’t stop the run game, granted defense has quite a few injuries, but Zimmer has not been the answer! Time for Jerry to step aside and hire a damn GM! We can sit here all day and argue the fact that the Cowboys should have brought in Derrick Henry, but Jerry had other ideas! Jerry, Jerry, Jerry….the achilles heel! Should have kept his mouth closed some 30 years ago! Ok, rant over!! Lions definitely looking like a well balanced team. Would have to give them the current nod.

Kind of reminds us Saints fans of a pass interference non-call….

Exactly right. The owner decided after he bought the team that he was a better GM than anyone he could hire. Unbelievable.....and still won't admit he's whats wrong with the organization. Old Jer just gets to sit back and rake in the $$$$$ and blame someone else. Remember after last season, he was gonna be "all in?" No team got worse than Dallas....except the Jets?

I remember that one. That's the play that allowed coaches to challenge PI calls the next season.
