Go Jags. Big brain play with 5 seconds remaining. Great for the kicker on activated this week and wasn’t even in the sport two weeks ago.

Second longest losing streak in NFL history broken.

Bears (sort of my team) getting stomped by Tampa. Fields having a hard time again. He’s got to start learning or not.

My boys finally got it over the line against Detroit. Always give us a game for some reason when we should be smashing them.

Cardinals go 7-0. Looking tasty.

"Ruggs’ lawyers have asked the public to “to reserve judgment until all the facts are gathered.”

I'll pass, thanks. I hope they throw away the key. The lady who was driving car he drunkenly rear ended at 127mph was still alive when the her car burst into flames. She got roasted alive.

Yeah I saw that. What a total ****.

How can an athlete be so thick? Drink driving, showing off. He's ended his career and put himself in prison for a long time.

Idiot.

As I've stated to others, it wouldn't have been a bigger tragedy if Ruggs himself had died as well. A shame he didn't, the ****ing dick head.

Some terrible officiating in the MNF Bears screwed over time after time, i've never seen so many mistakes in an NFL game (I've only watched in weekly again since Covid). The taunting penalty in the 4th qtr was total nonsense.

Fields starting to show some of his promise.

Not sure how I feel about Akers out and Odell Beckham Jnr in. 2 losses on the spin now too.

McVay has some work to do.

Never known a season like it currently. So many surprising results. Vikings, Texans and Colts to name three.

Also - makes doing the spread on the Pigskin Pick em up super tough.

Not sure whether the unpredictability of the season is really affecting my performance …. as largely they are random selections - although I don’t think even I would suggest a Lions win!!

Super Bowl up for grabs this year. No outstanding candidate imo. If the Cowboys had beaten Arizona yesterday I may have said they might be a good bet alongside Green Bay.

Everyone is beating everyone this year, so really tough to call.

My boys the Rams have gotten over their mini slump and got over the line just against the Ravens yesterday. 12-4 with one to play and play off place confirmed so I have hope. We have the best WR in Kupp, and the beast that is Aaron Donald. If Stafford can pull the strings we have an outside chance of the SB.

One of this lot for the W. Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals, Bills, Chiefs, Patriots, Titans, Packers, Buccs and Bengals.

Who do you think are going to win it?

Gren Bay look consistently strongest and have home field advantage, anyone who wins a Lambo will have to be taken very seriously.

However there are a number of teams on their day how could pull something out of the hat it is really close to call. Bengal's yesterday where fantastic and Burrow is on fire, I don't think KC are done either.

Main issue seems to be keeping players healthy and free from injury/covid.

Anyone see the Hawks V Lions game? I found a dodgy stream and watched it all. Blood hell what a game. It had almost everything!

Fumbles/interceptions

70+ points.

Hawks were well in the lead, then the Lions fought back only for the Hawks to go into overdrive and make a comeback.

Succesful onside kick for the Lions! Well played and they nearly had two!

Main ref gets injured and goes off.

Lots of sacks.

Penny (Hawks) Rushes for 170+ yards and two TD's

Metcalf (Hawks) throws a hissy fit, looks like he is gonna do his conkers because he has been out of the game then BLAM he gets 3 TD's and is a very happy camper.

with 20+ secs on the clock and the Hawks on the 1 yard line of the Lions, Carroll chooses to go for the victory formation and kill the ball. Cue crowd going wild and booing the Hawks madly.

50+ yard field goals

Wilson setting more records.

The big question is: Is this Russ's last game at Lumen field?

Detroit such an odd team. Seems like they either get tonked, or lose narrowly by somebody who should be tonking them. Then throw in the very rare win, which will usually be against somebody good!

Scoring points doesn't seem to be the main issue, it's definitely defence. Conceding that amount of points to an also ran Seahawks is very poor.

We've seen perennial losers Cleveland and Cincinnati improve over the last few years, would like to see the same for Detroit, and The Jets for that matter. I have a soft spot for Jared Goff. Whatever you think of him as a QB he played his part in getting the Rams to the SB a few years back. For that I'm grateful.
