Tonight is going to be bad, I feel sorry for the Giants.

Trevon Diggs tore his ACL in practice today.

Yeah I posted that earlier but this is the appropriate thread where it belongs. Huge blow to them. That is why in football, nothing is a gimmie. A key player goes down, then all of the sudden you are not the same.

The Vikes signed Dalton Risner and Cam Akers. Hope we will win this week.

 

Enjoy the game tonight. I'm going to see a show but I may be home by halftime.

And what show would that be, also will you have buttered Popcorn at the show?

Sounds interesting, I like it cool actually but Hot can be good . Enjoy.

it is 3-3 in the 1st Qtr.

I see the game is now 17-6 Niners at the start of the 3rd Quarter.

Yeah I have been watching the Cubs game, they came up with another dud. 49ers up 11, not surprising. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

20-12 49ers.

How do the niners have running game so good?

 

They just imagine it's 1849, and it's Gold Rush and they're miners. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

23-12 49ers.

[NFLfan]

I hope he is okay. Deebo is one of my favorite non-Vikings player.

I just saw him go down after trying to get more yards. I think he is ok.

[NFLfan]

I read that Dalton may start for the Panthers this Sunday. Should I be worried after having picked their opponent, the Seahawks, in the Survival Pool?

 

[NFLfan]

Deebo is back in. So he is okay. He scores the TD. This game is over.

It's a bad joke...

 

But the audience is only few here, so that's what they get

I read Reich saying he's gonna use Dalton for some selected plays... I only read the headlines so I don't know other than that.

 

Anyway, you've lot of good guys to pick this week.. Bills against Commanders, Jaguars against Texans, Cowboys against Cardinals, Chiefs against Bears, Eagles against Bucs..

 

If you wanna be adventurous and not pick the big favorites, you can pick Steelers away against Raiders. Jimmy G struggled mightily against Bills last week, and I'd imagine TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith will school him this week and Jacobs has rushed for 46 yards in 28 attempts (last week, -2 yards in 9 attempts) this year! Not doing well at all, and it's not a good time to play Steelers. 

 

I wouldn't know when Carolina defense would show up and have a big game, and Seahawks have been down and up in first two weeks.

I cannot change my pick now. I had to change it before tonight's game. I feel pretty confident that Seattle will win.

 

I am holding off on picking the best teams like the 49ers, the Eagles and the Chiefs to use later on.

[NFLfan]

@VikingsFanInChennai I saw that Vikings fumble that you alluded to in the other thread.   They are the Minnesota Fumblers. 7 fumbles this year so far. 

 

Texans 7-0 over the Jags. Stroud looked pretty good. 

[NFLfan]

Chargers are driving against the Vikings. First and goal for the Chargers. Keenan Allen is a very good player. Underrated. 

 

Edit: TD for the Chargers. I am a big fan of Herbert. He reminds me of Luck. 

[NFLfan]

Stitches is busy watching the Colts but one of his favorite draft picks is the highest rated QB in the NFL. 

 

Packers down 7 to the Saints.

 

The Broncos are down two TDs to the Miami Dolphins. If I advance in my Survival Pool, I will consider the Dolphins in the coming weeks.

The Vikings got yet another fumble, right in the red zone. SMH

The fumble was overturned. I am not sure why. The ball was stripped from Mattison while he was still upright. I think his forward progress may have been stopped. 

[NFLfan]

Tua is having a great start of the season. He is 16 of 16 in the first half and playing very well. 

[teganslaw]

I have Tua and Raheem Mostert in one of my fantasy lineups.

[NFLfan]

Wow. Green Bay was the last to score. The Saints were leading 17-0 but then Carr was knocked out of the game and GB may win. They lead 18-17.

[NFLfan]

Justin Jefferson is hurt. It looked like a knee or ankle.

 

[NFLfan]

Hockenson took a huge hit too.

[NFLfan]

Both JJ and Hockenson came back but the Vikes lose.  

 

Had the Vikings won, I think Brandon Staley would have gotten fired.  He made the dumbest call I have ever seen. He went for it on 4th down on the 24 yard line in their own territory with about 2 minutes left in the game. Made no sense. They were up by only 4.  The Vikings bailed him out. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Denver is a joke. Dolphins put up 70 pts and had over 700 yards on offense.

[RollerColt]

lol... The Chiefs are really going to do it aren't they? They saw the Dolphins score and went, "yeah we can match that and beat that". Currently up 31-0 against Chicago. 

[RollerColt]

And how 'bout dem Cowboys? Losing 21-10 at the half against Arizona...
