Everything going well for the Seahawks tonight. Lockett and Metcalf both in the game. Geno firing. Interception for Diggs. Can we play the Jags every week?

On Washington, Heinicke was far too slow and ponderous again, but the protection for him was also pretty piss poor at times.

So badly need a new QB, because Heinicke is not the answer and it's going to be a long hard season from now on in.

At least the defence looked a bit better.

Vikings outcoached again. Dan Quinn Vs an inexperienced (and unqualified) OC was mess.
Vikings should have won comfortably but Zimmer insists on defending leads rather than adding to them. 1980/90s philosophy no place in modern game.
Roster easily good enough - coaching staff not

Really thought they would win as the game drew to a close.

What a win by the Saints, especially after being without Winston from 7-7. Ingram re-signed, Thomas and Hill due back soon....think they could’ve been dark horses but sounds like Winstons done for the season

Payton is just a damned good coach. With all the roster shenigans due to salary cap issues he still puts out a dangerous team. That said going to be difficult without Winston.

Yeah, amazing how he managed to get to 5-2 with Brees retiring, thomas out and various other enforced changes over summer. Great game as well

Thanks Faz. Yeah, looked bad. Real shame. Taysom Hill should be back next week but not sure if that will be enough for Saints at QB...Cam newton ?!

It was a horrible bend to the leg. I'd take a gamble on Newton I think. There were rumours of Mariota coming in to the Seahawks in the early days of the Wilson injury. Could be an option.

I think they’ll go for Newton and then mix it up with Hill. They’d still be a dangerous team but a real shame about Winston who’d been pretty effective so this season

Ruggs just thrown it all away. Huge talent just pissed it away while tragically and unnecessarily taking someone's life.

Aaron Rodgers out at the weekend with Covid.

Aaron Rodgers out at the weekend with Covid.

That puts their result in jeopardy

So is Love good enough or do they start Bortles????

 

[Skybluefaz]

OBJ going to waivers. Where will he end up? Probably fucking Cardinals or the Rams.

 

[Otis]

They can't pick Bortles until he is mentioned again in another episode of The Good Place.

 

[tisza]

Vikings throw away another one. Terrible play calling at the end. Coaching sabotaging a good roster even with its injury problems.

OC only employed because of who his father is. Once scripted plays finished just collapses.

Some comical ref calls - seems to be an NFL norm.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Hell of a game by Josh Allen, yeah not that one the other one.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Chiefs are there for the taking if the Packers offence can get their shit together

Not going to happen. Love not been awful but clearly showing why we need to make sure we keep hold of Rodgers beyond this year.

I thought it was a given that Rodgers was gone after this season?

Best bit was after, when the Bills man went home and found out the other one's been sleeping with his wife.

Great coverage.

 

[Otis]

Great coverage.

Yup, and brilliant for her too, because she can still shout out "Oh my God, Josh!" with gay abandon.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Does seem crazy Russ has been able to come back so quickly from this. I love how they talk about him in the same way North Korea talk about Kim Jong-Un too.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Apparently this was a hold by Damien Lewis. Took the Seahawks out of field goal range.

Certain groups of officials this year are flag happy. Seeing some terrible calls every week. Bears - Steelers was atrocious in particular.

Huge inconsistencies between how some of these groups want to referee the games.

 

[tisza]

Surprisingly enough if you actually target one of the best WRs in NFL you can win games.
Vikings finally get aggressive with play calling and dominate the Chargers.
Unfortunately it's the Packers defense next which has been outstanding last few weeks.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I am finding the refs increasingly frustrating this season. Basic errors and calls given/missed almost at random.

It really ruins the spectacle. What's the point in watching a game dictated by referees. They need to sort it out this off-season.

The rules analysts are awful as well. No matter how bad the call they'll defend it.

Another ridiculous issue (with all the money involved) is that different games have different numbers of cameras at them. So exact same play can checked/reviewed differently in 2 different games

F*cking love football. Great game. This time Vikings kick the last second FG
