Vikings fire offensive coordinator John DeFilippo. Maybe the lime green uniforms were really too much....

Not surprised one bit. They were talking about it last night during the game. Zimmer doesn't like the dude and clearly shows it on the field. We need the vikings to dump 2 of the last 3 and a little help from others and the Packers are in the PLAYOFFS!



















If we win out of course...

The Steelers lost to a 2-10 team, Gronk is going to catch for 300+ yards and like 8 TD's this weekend...

And he won't have to play defense against our team either

I wouldnt go that far. The Pats have been awful on the road and the defense has been average at best

The only thing that gives me confidence is that Tomlin is too stubborn to change his defense, which Brady seems to tear apart every year

Our defense blows, and our kicker is a headcase. Should be easy pickings for Tommy boy

Must still be pretty good gash, if he keeps going back for more.

EDIT: Sorry, stress fracture in back.

Its just coming up on a year. I think they brought him back too quickly. But he's had injuries in each of his 3 seasons and hasn't played a full season yet.

Indeed...caught bits and pieces of the game as we had my wife's friends and their families over for a Christmas get-together (our turn to host). But, looked like Bears D harassed Rodgers all day and Mitch was efficient and played a good game.


Bears are going to the playoffs!

What a lousy fantasy week - seems like everything was down, not just on my team. Dallas and NYG crapped the bed, Pats get 10, lots of low-scoring defensive struggles, lots of usually consistent scorers getting half what they normally get. The highest scoring position on my roster was the Atlanta defense for crying out loud. Haven't lost yet - I have McCaffrey and he has Rams def and we're tied - seems like should have that one but I trust nothing this week. And the Hawks lost. Double

First 49ers win against the Seahawks in 5 long years!!!

I don't even care about the draft pick anymore, the guys needed this. If anything, to win it against Seattle makes it worth it.

I couldn't make it to the game today and I'm pretty salty

I hear ya. I had a 75% chance to win coming into today, even though Lamar Miller shit the bed.

So far, Hopkins and Fairbaianainairainn have half my points.
I still have 2 Eaglets and Brees though so hopefully they blow up. Only problem is my opponent has Michael Thomas and Kamara. So hopefully Brees throws to everyone except Thomas and never hands off to Kamara

And those fucking Cowboys...

I'm torn here. I want them to win and make the playoffs. But 99% of me wants them to fuck up so FINALLY, HOPEFULLY, IF JERRY JONES IS HUMAN, JASON GARRET WILL FINALLY GET FIRED.

They lose to a 2-10 team and then beat the Cheaters, I don't know what to think anymore...

I think it's less about Carson Wentz's ability and more about the fact that he's been playing injured. He's a fierce competitor always wants to be on the field. I'm sure Nick taking the team to their Superbowl win just added to it.
A friend of mine who's an orthopedic surgeon actually thinks his vertebrae fracture is result of him favoring his good leg while he recovered from ACL/LCL surgery.

This has officially been bizarro-world this week in the NFL. 3.5 quarters played and Christian McCaffrey has more throwing TDs than Drew Brees. I can't even....

Welp, almost knocked out the undefeated guy but FML lost by 4. Giants kicker shut out by the mighty Colts D. Thielen got shut down even though they scored 12351234 points on the shitty Fins. And I should've started NO D over Chicago D. Playing for 3rd I'll probably lose that as well.

I think a ton of people got screwed this week. Normally on any given roster some people hit and others don't, but this week seems like only 10% of the players "hit" meaning they at least scored what they were projected. Nearly everyone seemed to be below their projections this week, and some (like your kicker) had these inexplicable lapses. Brees got like 4-5 points in our league, and the Rams defense got -2. On what planet does that happen?

Through no fault of my own, I won so I get to play for first-round pick next year. So that's something. Had I made the playoffs, I'd have won both as well and would be playing for the championship. I have the second highest Points For, and only second by 12 points.

I noted in that game, TB did not have his usual 9812734231 Mississippis to count in the pocket. The Steelies had a nice passrush and oh look, he's no longer GOAT at all, is he?
