Quite the offensive shootout lol.

Has A-a-ron got Covid hangover?
Wilson and Rodgers both seem to be having trouble finding their rhythm. They traded picks in the opposing end zone on back-to-back drives.

Packers just scored though.

Appears to be snowing in Green Bay. Hopefully it blankets the field. That always makes for an awesome game, at least visually.

The Raiders really need Ruggs. This is how they will look the rest of the season if Jackson doesn’t work out.


Also, have they said anything about Ruggs toxicology report? Curious to know what cocktail of shit he had in his system.

Add in the Dolphins beating the Ravens,
I'm peeved we had to lose 7 (arguably 6) games before our defense woke up. Now we have to win every remaining game to have even a small chance of making the postseason. I mean we have an easy schedule but we're bound to lose at least one of the remaining seven.

The two Buffalo losses and the loss to the Bucs would've happened anyway, but there's no reason we shouldn't be 7-3 right now.

A defense that relies on blitzing and man coverage as much as the Dolphins can't afford to lose two exceptional cornerbacks and still perform. I see that as the crux of the issue, injuries at other positions would not have had such a great effect.

That being said, given that the Dolphins aren't Super Bowl material offensively right now, a losing season gives the (slight) silver lining of earlier draft picks. Until the QB problem is solved, I don't see the Dolphins winning the division, let alone going deep in the playoffs.

The Rams have really played like shit lately.

No offense Lukewarm Carl @Willthiswork, I'm not watching. The Niners might just be playing really well.
It's a little of column A and a little of column B.

Jimmy having Deebo (who is ridiculous), Kittle (the best all around TE in the league), and Aiyuk (who looks like himself again) combined with Kyle just trying to ram the ball down the throats of the Rams to set up the play action was crucial. Made a HUGE difference. It's also the first game where all of them have been healthy this year.

I'm definitely cautiously optimistic after last night but still not expecting miracles.

I have renewed faith in Tua.
