I may advance once again in the Survival Pool. The Chiefs are beating the Broncos 10-0. It is almost halftime.

Good, that's a great choice.. I didn't have Chiefs in my pools as TNF gets tricky sometimes, and there are other options like Eagles and Bills, but only Chiefs will have to lose the game.

 

Denver have 22 seconds to Chiefs, and they advance 24 yards and kick a 60-yard FG...

 

They wasted 3 more points earlier going for TE rush on 4th down at 3 yard goal line, otherwise they'd now be 16-0.

[NFLfan]

It is 13-0 Chiefs at halftime.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

I voted Chargers because I'm not going to trust Dak anymore on any high scoring games. Easy.. 

 

Their defense is very good but now Diggs and Leighton Van Esch are in IR, that's two very solid players out and they're inevitably going to give up points to good QBs.

 

Only way Cowboys could win in such tough games is if they get early turnovers and scores that they are able to ride on that momentum to crush the opponent.

 

Dak isn't going to fight high shootout games, and Pollard isn't doing at elite level.

 

Of course, the genius Chargers coach could lose any game by his poor decision making, so that always makes it tough to root for them and trust them, unfortunately.

 

@NFLfan did you see the chargers game a week after the Vikings game, chargers coach tried to go for 4th down at LAC 34 yards line, while leading 24-17 with 3:30 minutes left in 4th quarter and gave Raiders a very short field to score. Raiders rookie QB ended up throwing and interception at 3-yard line. If they had scored, it could've gone to OT. 

 

Chargers need to fire their coach even if they have a great season this year, because this is just putting Herbert repeatedly in worse situations week after week.

I did not see that. He makes poor in-game decisions. It has not hurt him yet.

 

O'Connell is not thay much better. His game and clock management are horrendous. 

[RollerColt]

Another Wilson pick. The game is about to get out of hand for the Broncos.

Yeah.. that rookie QB didn't look good. He was okay in few plays but when the pressure is on, he was just trembling.

Cowboys former OC Kellen Moore is now OC for Chargers, and Cowboys offense isn't looking that solid either.

 

I think Chargers have benefitted with new OC that they were able to have solid offense even when Ekeler was injured, which used to be their Problem with previous OCs. 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Cowboys HC McCarthy fired their OC just to save face after losing the season last playoffs, I think he will hide behind injuries as excuse this year. 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

I think Patrick Surtain will want to be a free agent after '24 season, he'll be wasting his talent in Denver if he stays.

I've got Kelce and Butker in couple of fantasyu lineups, they're doing great today.

 

Denver only seems to be giving up turnovers to KC defense as the game goes. Russell Wilson has lost it. 

 

When can Denver get out of his contract? 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Easy win for the Chiefs. Wilson looks washed up!

[2006Coltsbestever]

I voted Chargers.

I meant our head coach (O'Connell).

I don't know, last year he was 11-0 in 1 score games. He was pushing a lot of right buttons last year in crunch time. Kirk was also pretty clutch too. This season, the Vikings have had some bad breaks IMO.

They can possibly cut him in 2024, but it would be at ridiculous costs. The most likely is the following year in 2025… so they’ve got basically 2.5 more years of this crap…

I never thought we were a good team last year. We did not play good fundamental football but we seemed to win. I said it was not sustainable. I think we have a better team this year but we are losing.

Losing Cook was a massive blow. I think with him, you guys would be 3-2 instead of 1-4.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That is all she wrote, 19-8 Chiefs. Wilson 94 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT's! Damn, Mahomes was 30-40 on his passes for 306 Yards.

Sean Payton looks like he's aged forty years since he stepped down from the Saints

- this will be him soon, give it about 3 or 4 more games.

At least Don Hector Salamanca is in control of what's going on around him

Not sure I want to watch this early London game. I'm conflicted about which team I want to lose more

Thanks. How do I put up the other ones (Fox and the late games)? Please post them if you have them. Thank you. Your link shows what the colors stand for. Mine below shows only the map.

You gotta do a cropped screenshot then upload to an image sharing server

I love it when they sing the anthem about beating England in the Revolutionary War on British soil

This is a real photo? Wow?!

 

He was looking very fresh when sitting at home commentating games last year... Ha ha! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Ravens/Titans game is on the NFL Network. Great. Watching it now. Ravens lead 3-0 early. Go Ravens.

[2006Coltsbestever]

1pm, I get Colts at Jags on CBS and Vikings at Bears on Fox. 430pm = Eagles at Jets. @NFLfan, I get the Vikings again  

[shakedownstreet]

If the Titans lose, Vrabel should go ahead and book airfare to Foxborough

Lucky you. Lol. I don't get any game that I wish to watch. I get Seattle and Cincy (not bad) and 49ers at Cleveland as well as the Jets game. I may not watch anything. I have someone calling me in an hour and then I am going out. I will follow Red Zone on my phone.

My brother in law who lives in Indy is from Minnesota. We (Indy) get Vikings games a lot more often than one would expect

 

Today it's courtesy of the Bears having the secondary market & the Colts playing on the road

I would love Vrabel as Vikings head coach. Does Vrabel call the plays on defense? I need a coach that lets the DC and OC call the plays and the head coach could focus on game management.

I just like looking at his big red face when he loses 

[shakedownstreet]

That's a bad call

Seattle/Cincy will be a great game.

I agree, that was a pile of bull.

[NFLfan]

Is this Indy? I was going to post it on the Colts at Jags game thread but the Bulldog made me wonder if it is Indy.
