That’s some cheap bush-league bullshit trying to run extra seconds off before kneeling. Not a fan. ETA: Gotta punt this deep. Do not run around in the end zone. Go for hang time. EDIT: Oh, duh, intentional safety gives you a free kick. But now, a Packers touchdown wins it. ---

Um, Giants, you needed to actually run a couple of plays there instead of taking a knee. Now you have to run a fourth down play. ---

Say what you will, in the end the Giants D won that game. Gutsy play on the entire NY squad, of course. ---

2 huge bomb TDs to Gabriel Davis, second one is kind of bonkers. ---

Gabriel Davis has two catches…for 160 yards and 2 touchdowns. If he was on your fantasy roster, I hope you started him today. ---

Kirk Cousins of the Vikings begins the game 17 for 17 passing against the Bears who suck really, really badly. ---

For whatever reason the Browns and Chargers consistently have exciting games. ---

Bears have taken the lead in Minnesota. They’ve outscored the Vikes 12-0 in the second half. A short time ago they showed a graphic that stated that Chicago has allowed 18 points in the second halves of all their games this year. Six field goals. ---

Yeah, but you know what they say about statistics. The Vikings, for instance have converted like 5 3rd downs on this drive alone. I’m a Bears fan, and am tired of them sucking. Their run defense isn’t merely bad, it’s pathetic. Their pass defense is a little bit better than pathetic. ---

And of course shortly after my last post, the Vikes score a TD. Their defense holds and Minnesota wins the game. ---

I was screaming at the TV “Run out of bounds! why are you cutting in?” before even realizing the turnover. I mean, come on. ---

I had to watch the replay on that one. I was all like “First Down!”, then I was like “How in the hell did he take that ball away???” Then I saw the replay and realized, oh, he just took it away, that’s all. Gimme that. ---

Holy shit the Chargers coach is trying to out-choke Kevin Stefanski in the 4th quarter. ---

I know it’s old school, but the Chargers going for it on 4th and 2, when they’re up by 2 points at their own 44 and a minute and change on the clock is insane. One fucking completion and the Browns are in field goal position to win. What the hell was Staley thinking? ---

Oh, I see. He knew the Browns kicker would miss. Makes sense now. ---

Browns have had a lead deep into the 4th quarter in all 5 games and came out 2-3. That was the easiest part of their schedule so that’s probably it for this season. Browns-Chargers games are always good for no apparent reason.
