Not too surprising. Rodgers career is all washed up and we know how bad the Giants are by default.

Not making any pics but can't wait to watch the New England/Jacksonville match up. Seems to me they just need to move the Jacksonville to London since it seems like they have more games there than any other team.

The battle of the losers there! I read somewhere a year or two ago that the Jags ownership were buddies with the folks in London. You know how the NFL and Roger Goodell are.... if there is money to be made let's do it!

Ditto with the goofy kickoff rules. They keep making rules favoring the offense and when the defense adjusts and outsmarts the new rules, they make up new ones for the offense. Some of these rules remind me of rules we would make up as 13 and 14 year olds playing in a pickup game in a friends spacious backyard , back in the day

No doubt! We are one step away from it being flag football.

Some coaches get it

I love Dan Campbell and the Lions GM, Brad Holmes as well.

All the reasons he gave make perfect sense and he explained them so well . Compare that to how awful the Bengals start every year. This ain’t rocket science……unless your name is Zac Taylor

Exactly... I watch his pressers with the media on You Tube all the time and how he answers their questions is great! Like with Hutch being down for the season, a lot of "fair weather" fans are jumping off the band wagon and there are a lot of trade rumors going around, blah blah blah. You know what he said? He said that we are in no big hurry. If the right player comes along who we think will fit into our system, and if all of the pieces come together then we'll act. They only want players who work hard, have grit, and want to win. Period. That's what I love about this guy and his style of coaching!

How 'bout dem Lions?!?!?!?! 31-29 over those undefeated Vikings in MN! We are now 5-1 on the season and in 1st place in the NFC North. Since we beat the Vikings we would own the tie breaker too! The Packers won unfortunately, was hoping Stroud and company would beat 'em but that's ok. So happy for My Lions! What a nail biter!!! We're at home against the lowly Titans next Sunday at 1pm.

A nice win by the Bengals today too. The Thug for Cleveland got injured, Achilles, and was carted off so after that happened, Cleveland really had no chance in the game IMO.

Les's Lions going STRONG and with the Bengals and Colts having also won makes it an even more fantastic weekend!!

Vikings lost 30-20 to the Rams! So that helped Les's Lions stay in the lead of the NFC North!!

I wonder if their loss to us shook 'em up a bit? I was also surprised by this and no, I'm not complaining that my pick was wrong.

I saw the highlights, Stafford is a beast and still a top 5 QB

Agreed. It also helped that Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returned from injury to give Matthew some folks to throw too that are excellent at getting yards after the catch. Here's a cool stat that I read from a sports writer out of Detroit this morning. Teams are 0-5 so far on the season after playing the Detroit Lions!
