A couple weird scores at the moment, GB over LA 10-8, and SF over Arizona 5-3.
 
Bears defeat Jets 24-10, improve to 4-3 and guarantee the Lions fall back to the NFCN cellar all alone again. Packers w/slim lead 10-8 over @ Rams @ halftime. Vikings play tonight @ Saints. Panthers defeat Ravens 36-21. If the Lions had heightened aspirations for making the playoffs this season prior to today, their chances have dimmed in the worst way so far, and could even become much worse if the Packers and Vikings win this evening. Even if they were to split vs the Bears and Vikings, but lose vs Panthers and Rams, means they are done, no matter how well they might play the rest of their schedule.

Talk about a bad play at games end.

Packers lose because they also have an idiot who thinks it's a good idea to try and return the kick off instead of just take the ball at the 25 and give your all world QB 2:10 seconds to get you a FG. He fumbled and the Rams get the ball back and end up running out the clock. Conversely, Gurley had a chance to score a TD in the closing moments but chose to get tackled inbounds so they could just run out the clock...to the dismay of gamblers and fantasy owners everywhere. Closing line was 7.5 points (earlier in the week it was as high as 9.5) and that would have put them up 9 with the extra point.

We were watching the game and couldn't believe he brought it out of the endzone. Then he fumbles. What a dope!
 
Just like that Van Noy gets a sack and and fumble for the Pats. He plays so good for a New England.

12-6 end the the third quarter. Bills hanging in there.
Pick 6 New England. That will seal the game . Man the Patriots play hard. Wish our team played like the Patriots.

I know im like 30 minutes behind in this game, but wow edleman is a dirty player. Another example on the punt return. As the returner after fair catch launches head first in to the helmet of a coverage guy
 
The way the Bills defense is playing that game will not be easy for Detroit.

On the other side Minnesota seems to have a boat load of injuries. The Lions M.O. - win vs a team we expect to lose against, hopes go up and then get smacked by a team we should beat .. We've seen it 1000 times over the years. Sometime next year we'll be calling for Quinn and Patricia to get canned. Too soon so far on Patricia but expected more, an Quinn blows. I'm tired of 9-7 seasons.

I think Quinn is making some pretty sound player moves with his trades, free agents and draft picks. His biggest blunder was not cleaning house with the coaching staff the day he was hired. Then he kept JBC when he hired Patricia.
