Looks like Rodgers might have torn his Achilles. Yikes. He will retire if that’s the case.

Rodgers is Resilient SO--

 

He'll be back to finish his career little more positively.

What in the hell is Josh Allen doing, they had a nice drive going. 

[RollerColt]

I’ve never been a Jets fan… never liked Joe Namath. But I feel so bad for the fans. This is almost criminal.

The fans feel the same way. One guy says

Dalton Kincaid seems to be ready for NFL already. He may have a good rookie season

I'd take Quinnen Williams contract from them and they can take Kirk.

This is not the game anyone expected tonight.

 

Not even close.  Such a downer

Josh is being Josh… 

 

What a weekend. A not so good weekend for nearly all the QBs across the league except Tua really. 
 

Jalen Hurts did nothing for me in fantasy.

I thought AR played well despite the loss. He just looked like a QB that has been there before. Purdy out in SF still hasn't lost a game.

He seems to play with the maturity of a veteran in his role in that team... A rare specimen.

AR netted me over 20 points… on the bench… meanwhile Hurts barely got me 14… and like an * I had Hall on the bench because the coach earlier said they’d be easing Breece back into the game… how was I to know Rodgers would go down and make Breece the only chance?

My 15 year old nephew came over today and was excited he had AR in fantasy. He is a cowboys fan and he goes how do they score 40 and dak got me nothing.

I remember telling Viking22 that the Vikes should draft him. Viking22 was a fan of his college team (Iowa or Iowa St). He did not think Purdy was an NFL QB. He did not think he would be drafted. Purdy almost was not.

Jets did Eaze him in the game... But he just Breezed past for 100+ yards in 3 touches.

 

Good that you at least have him for rest of the year.. I thought he would take time to heal and didn't draft him

Play Breece next week. You got a great find in FF.

@RollerColt You were at the game in which Damar Hamlin was hurt, right?

I was surprised to see Hamlin not even active.

What a sloppy game.

Lackluster.

Same with Dak last year too... I just missed all the QBs and had to draft Dak..

 

Even AR was taken very early in my league draft.. and they're Right .

Funny how it all works out.. SF is long due for SB win in this Century, they have great GM, HC, team, offense and defense.. and finally the kind of reliable QB they needed ..

Yep. An experience I’ll never forget. It really pushed me into a different viewpoint on football. I was already heading this way, but football is no longer dominating my life like it has in years past. There’s so much more to life.

So, looks like I'll be the winner of this week's NFL picks ...?

 

That will be sweet ... Just to not hear too much boasting from you 

 

[NFLfan]

@VikingsFanInChennai  I read that D. Hunter had a very good game yesterday. He and JJ had great games. Mattison was ok.

Why does Allen keep throwing at Jordan whitehead. Bills need a better run game and more weapons besides Diggs.

[RollerColt]

Okay what on Earth is Allen doing. This is just ridiculous. With Rodgers in there the Jets would have been blowing the Bills out.

JJ comes of the hibernation like a bullet.. how does he do it consistently... Good to see he's totally on track for a phenomenal career if he stays healthy throughout.

 

Hunter is all alone now

 

Mattison, I thought, was doing okay but they rarely ran him, and couldn't figure out why they even split carries for Ty Chandler...

 

Vikings HC was clearly over in his head, lack of game preparation for the opponent and in-game adjustment showed out.

 

As the Vikings were fighting behind, I suddenly remember that feeling of last year when Vikings were bad in stretches like that last year too, only difference was they came out winning by 1 score 10 times ..

 

It doesn't happen like that again, they are the same average team, and they better prepare for next games ..

 

This week will be a massacre in Philadelphia.

I am still surprised they didn't make a hard push for Taylor. They are in win now mode with that roster. What hurt them last year was not a run game in the playoffs. In cold weather you have to be able to run.
