I still don't understand the Packers management. Keep drafting 1st round defensive players some of whom just plain suck and hire one of the worst coordinators in the NFL who helped the Lions go 0-16.

Last night showed what happens when you think you the smartest guy in the room. Defence getting carved up, offence has zero weapons outside Aaron Jones and offensive line in shambles.

Wonder if Rodgers will be going on McAfee this week to call himself out for having 70 yards passing before garbage time inflation. They look pretty cooked right now, and unlike the Bucs they don't have the luxury of winning a crappy division. Well, the NFC North is pretty bad, but the Vikes have an effective four game lead right now, which I don't even think they can screw up.

Never doubt Kirk Cousins if anyone can do it, he can.

But yeah, the Packers are cooked as is Rodgers. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires, maybe mid game like Vontae Davis and Antonio Brown.

Boy it'd be nice to see the Vikings win a Super Bowl

The Packers played the second half like they desperately needed to cover the 10.5 spread, and come in under the 57.5 total.

The Bill's D Line is very formidable and they were killing the Packers on passing downs. Any QB is going to struggle in that situation. So I don't want to discredit the Bills here.

But I don't think it's offside to suggest Rogers and his persona are contributing to that really dysfunctional culture that is currently emerging in Green Bay. If he's honest and direct either Management maybe that don't waste a pick on Jordan Love. The guy seems non-comittal every off season about his future.. its like they have to ruffle his bonnet to get him so mad that he comes back to try and prove the world wrong about him. A Rod has shown himself to really have that I'm way smarter than anyone else in the room attitude in the past 12 months. So maybe that condescending tone and flakey commitment caused Management to not engage with him as much as he wanted on personnel moves.

I hope he is full blown A Hole tomorrow and cuts his interview short because they're not pumping him ul as much as he wants. McAfee isn't going to come at him with the knives out, but asking him anything about that state of that team right now could be volatile.

He's miles ahead of Russell Wilson...but I do wonder if some teams are looking at Seattle and thinking....maybe we're better off with a group of guys who will take to coaching.

Bears firesale continues, they just traded Roquan Smith to the Ravens for 2nd and 5th round picks, as per Adam Schefter.

Sad day but also not surprising.

Roquan wanted highest paid LB money this offseason and I think that helped make thisbdecision for Chicago

11.picks I believe in thisbyears draft.. lets see how many they trade to move up

His contract situation is the same as Jackson's. Going to be a challenge to sign them both in the offseason. Sign one and franchise the other maybe.

Pretty terrible game for divisional matchup.

GirlySports · 10-31-2022, 07:41 PM

I know I witnessed it, but I do not believe the Bengals and Rams were in the Super Bowl last year.

Zach Taylor is not a good coach. Gameplan has made zero sense.

Senator Clay Davis · 10-31-2022, 08:09 PM

It's also not like either team were dominant on their way to the Super Bowl. Bengals nearly lost to the Raiders, and they needed the Titans and Chiefs to choke big time to make it out of the AFC. Rams played a terrible Arizona team, tried as hard as possible to lose to the Bucs and should have lost to the 49ers too. Not surprising both are on track to miss the playoffs.

Erick Estrada · 10-31-2022, 09:21 PM

This season kind of sucks. There's just no rhyme or reason to anything. It's just randomness from game to game.

devo22 · 11-01-2022, 10:27 AM

woah, you rarely see those big trades within a division

NFL trades are always so random to me.

25 year old tight end former top 10 pick with 1.5 years left on his deal, who probably has 1000 yard potential with a better QB only returns a pick upgrade from a fourth to a second, and a fourth to a third.

Doesn't feel like much to me.

Seems like a great deal for the Vikings as Hockenson is on pace for a career season. Seems like the Lions are selling a bit low here and I'm also not sure why they would move him in the first place. Is the plan ever to win?

Senator Clay Davis · 11-01-2022, 10:55 AM

If they've decided they aren't gonna sign him long term then it's better to cash in now while his value his high and before he gets hurt. Lions obviously now in full tank, beating the Texans for that #1 pick is gonna require a completely commitment to crapiness.

Senator Clay Davis · 11-01-2022, 10:59 AM

Also, apparently the Rams are still all in on "#### them picks" mode as they are allegedly the team that offered two first rounders for Brian Burns. The 2026-2029 Rams are gonna be the worst team in NFL history lol.

Still it seems like a pretty shabby return upgrading two picks by a few rounds especially considering they are trading him within the division.

Senator Clay Davis · 11-01-2022, 11:04 AM

Just might not have been a big market for him. If he was still in year three maybe they get more, but he's due an extension this offseason and it'll probably be more big money, so that will always limit the market.
