9/4 winner winner chicken dinner! Niece/nephew pull down $550 on final quarter. They should receive somewhere between $450-500 by the time I get it to them

Dude is lost....on the other hand, he has no receivers and a shell of an O line. Can't expect miracles. Question is, will he ever get back to that QB of 4 years ago?

So are the Giants legit, or Seattle undone by their offensive line....again?

Ever since his injury he hasn’t been the same. They need to overhaul that line and get a new head coach.

I watched the whole game and couldn’t believe how the Giants D were breathing down Wilson’s neck. Never in a million years did I think the Giants would win as it’s in Seattle, Wilson is near flawless at home and Colt McCoy has a terrible GOD AWFUL record but they managed to get the W.

This is a completely different team that started the season 0-5 and are 5-2 in their last se7en games. Just hope Dallas keeps shooting themselves in the foot and football team loses as well to give the Giants a little breathing room.

BTW, Jets tanked on that last play to remain winless.

its a lot worse than his WRs and O Line. hes middle of the pack in time to throw, but he holds the ball for way too long. His WRs are getting open, but he isnt finding them or isnt throwing accurately. Every week you can watch dozens of film breakdowns with wide open wrs and Wentz throws it into the dirt/defender, throws it to a tightly covered wr, or holds the ball too long and takes the sack. You have to wonder if something isnt right in the head after that concussion last year.

Vikings make it to .500, and the Lions beat the Bears to put us in second in the north

I personally feel for the guy and hope he can get himself right, preferably in Philly but if that isn't in the cards, somewhere. He'd be a great fit in Indy w/ Frank Reich if the Eagles give up on him.

I know its all excuses, but it is a textbook on how to destroy development of a potential franchise quarterback.

Drafted from a small school w/ the intention of sitting him a year to learn and develop. At the end of training camp, after not getting many/any first team reps (and breaking ribs in the first pre-season game), trade Sam Bradford and hand the team over to him. Had a decent 2016.

Starts the miracle 2017 year with MVP performance, only to tear his ACL and watch his back up take the team to the Super Bowl. The level of Wentz love during the first 13 weeks of the season was insane, only to have that ripped away and fall into quarterback controversy #1
2018 looking over your shoulder at the Philly Philly Statue Of Nick Foles and come back early from the ACL. Play decent, then fracture a vertibrae in your back and watch St Nick double doink his way to another playoff win.
2019 get the team back as undisputedly yours and watch all the weapons you were supposed to have get injured while you stay healthy for the first time for 16 games -> DeSean, Alshon, Miles Sanders... Lead a team of practice squaders to the playoffs while Alshon is chatting it up behind your back to ESPN about how Nick Foles threw a better ball. Get to your first home playoff game to get knocked out by a dirty late Clowney hit to the head... season over. Meanwhile your team drafts JJ Arthega Whiteside over DK Metcalf.
2020... Hire your fourth QB coach in four years. Go into the draft with a team that is old and majorly lacking at skill positions and draft Reagor over Jefferson in the first and a quarterback in the 2nd... Why, because it wouldn't be Phialdelphia without a quarterback controversy. Have the team destroy a relationship with your favorite target (Ertz) over a contract dispute so that guy gives no effort and no shits anymore. Plan on at least 2 of your starting receivers be rookies and the 3rd be last year's practice squadder, then have no ability for off-season training, a shortened training camp, no pre-season games and no ability for the offense to get on the same page. In an attempt to survive a season with a patchwork o-line, add about 20lbs of muscle and f up all your mechanics. Start the year with an o-line that gives contact on average in less than 3 seconds with receivers that routinely turn right when they're supposed to go left. Hold the ball too long, sacks, interceptions, fumble.... rinse and repeat.
Hurts plays a quarter of football, gets sacked 3 times and throws a pick (and a nice touchdown ball)... Where did I see that 13 times before this year???

The Steelers lost to Washington...a team so bad that they don't even have a NAME this year?!?!?

If they had European soccer-style relegation in the NFL, the Seahawks and Steelers would be demoted to Pop Warner league for losing to NFC LEast teams.....

Rumor has it they are considering keeping the name 'Football Team'. As a lifelong Redskins fan I am actually warming up to the idea. I like the new uniforms; they have a classy, simple, and 'old school' look to them. And let's face it, if you're really, really good it almost doesn't matter what the name of your team is.

Alex Smith, what a great story. Your thoughts on Haskins, think he’s already done in Washington?

I think it's game over for Haskins. He just doesn't have the goods.

I definitely think they can beat the 49ers this weekend. If they do, they have a legit shot to salvage an 8-8 season. I'd call that a success for this year.

Being a Falcons fan, I can't be critical of anyone. I am rooting for Alex Smith, the guy has fought back and then there's Ron Riviera's fight with cancer.

I'm not a fan of football anymore since politics got into it and inadvertent head collisions became penalties along with the defenseless receiver rule. I grew up a rabid Redskins fan; my dad had season tickets from 1962 to 2007.

But the world with social media the way it is and the idiocy that goes with it, all teams should be nameless, because most all can be found offensive to someone. My examples.

Cowboys - Misogynist (I'm okay with Cowpersons)
Buccaneers - celebrates criminals of the high seas who rape and pillage
Falcons - plays on one's Ornithophobia; it's just mean
Chargers - promotes energy production that causes global warming
Raiders - celebrates criminals of the high seas who rape and pillage
Chiefs - related to American Indians and promotes tribal warfare and the taking of slaves
Ravens - plays on one's Ornithophobia; it's just mean
Giants - insulting and not inclusive of people of small stature
Titans - insulting and not inclusive of people of weak nature
Texans - Misogynist (i.e. another name for Cowboy)
Vikings - celebrates criminals who invade lands of others who rape and pillage those persons
Eagles - plays on one's Ornithophobia; it's just mean
Jets - promotes world-wide travel via a carbon-fueled vehicle, which contributes to global warming
Broncos - Misogynist (i.e. another name for Cowboy)
Patriots - Jingoistic, celebrates the creation of the USA and represents the displacement of American Indians to the American Indian Reservation system
Packers - represents the meat packing industry, which promotes the killing of innocent animals for the sake of food, and contributes to global warming
Seahawks - plays on one's Ornithophobia; it's just mean
Saints - promotes the Catholic Religion
Cardinals - plays on one's Ornithophobia; it's just mean
Bears - implies a wild animal to be feared, thus promotes hunting and the slaughter of innocent animals based on unfounded reasoning

Rams - promotes head-to-head collisions, which is indifferent to NFL rules and policy against head injuries

Tampa Football Team
Georgia Football Team
California Football Team
Another California Football Team
Missouri Football Team
Maryland Football Team
New York Football Team
Tennessee Football Team
Texas Football Team
Minnesota Football Team
Pennsylvania Football Team
Another New York Football Team
Colorado Football Team
New England Football Team
Wisconsin Football Team
Washington State Football Team
New Orleans Football Team
Arizona Football Team
Illinois Football Team
Another California Football Team

Perhaps it’s best that the Falcons games are not available in Nashville, at least they were in the game till the last few seconds...this Super Bowl hangover is going on three years now.

I'm biting my tongue on posting anything right now, until I see if they choke against the Broncos on Saturday.....

[F30lolz]

Football team will win the NFC Least. Giants will get smoked by the Browns and get blown out by the Ravens next Sunday, lock it up. However, they’ll beat Jerry’s Cowboys the final game of the season.
