Enterntaining MNF game for the neutral, but not either Bronco nor Browns fans.
Jameis Winston of all QBs has shredded the excellent Bronco defense to the tune of 476 yards and 6 touchdowns. Problem for the Browns re 2 of those TDs are pick-6s.
Jerry Jeudy revenge game in Denver has been ridiculous.Bo Nix has done alright himself as well.
Game is not dead yet either
Edit: okay it is now. Denver wins -
Denver defence did enough in the end. Unsure why Payton was getting Bo Nix into a shootout with Jameis - some of those deep balls were questionable at best.
Nix looks the goods though. A lot of poise and can really sling it. No reason to think they can't win a playoff game.

did you see the throw for the 93-yarder? a fucking missile with zero margin for error

Even when 49ers are having a down season they are never dull
With their season on the line in the 3rd quarter and their starting linebacker Greenlaw getting hurt backup linebacker Campbell refused to play when he was needed and went to the locker room.
Absolutely insane
If we decided to quit before the game they could have made another linebacker active - instead he quits mid game.
The final nail in the coffin. Deebo is a complete shell of himself and Purdy's limitations were all on display. Was pleasing see Greenlaw look like his old self in the first half though.

Saw a theory that this season is basically where you're seeing the cost of the Lance bust. Because they were a good team getting good QB play from Purdy they'd been able to wear the damage but this is the point where they'd probably have another couple of contributors (from the traded away firsts) starting to establish themselves as part of the core, but instead you've got the same guys trying to do it year after year.

I'd have told him to keep walking out to the car park. DCM.

I believe he's been cut now

Cracking game between Broncos and Bengals. NFL throws out great entertainment week after week. Burrow is some player.

Should never have gone into overtime. The game would've been won early doors if we could catch.
Still, finals hopes are still alive.

Except for the 6-3 stinker earlier this week...
Now that I'm a Seahawks supporter, I had to watch an highlights package of that.
And yes, There was indeed an highlights package available. Over 8 minutes long. I know I'm new to this sport and still figuring it out, but.... What...? How...? -

My mate is old school Cincinnati... Went to the last pre-Burrow playoff game there in the 80s. I'm just a big Burrow fan, that dude is clutch.
Defence still can't stop the run though

Interesting sub plot in the otherwise meaningless yet entertaining 49ers Lions game today:
Purdy came out injured near the end of the game and has an elbow injury to throwing shoulder - noting that 2 years ago he missed 6 months from elbow surgery to the same elbow after suffering a torn UCL.
Purdy is eligible for a huge new contract this offseason but his play this season has been poor.
I like Purdy as a dude and generally as a player but you cannot justify paying him elite $. This new injury could throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

@KiwiMurph fun game to watch!
I would run through a wall for Dan Campbell. What a coach.

If you pay a guy max money you should expect him to be capable of carrying the offence. Not sure Brock can based on this season

Be interesting to see where the final AFC playoff spot goes. Broncos have the advantage, being win-and-your-in and the Chiefs likely to rest Mahomes and maybe more players.
Dolphins need a Broncos loss and a win over the Jets (who specialise in pointless week 18 wins long after elimination from the playoff race).
Bengals need both Broncos and Dolphins to lose and then a win over the Steelers. Toughest path, but would be an incredible recovery from 0-3.
On the Purdy contract, he's never looked like a guy that you could sustain success while paying him top of the market money. If the 49ers were better this year I could have seen him taking tier 2 money (say 45m per year), along with a long deal and good guarantees, since he's earned so litte, but with the 49ers a bit of a rabble this year you wonder if he might be tempted to test free agency. I don't think there's really any better landing spots though.
I'd compare him to Dak Prescott. A solid, reliable QB but not able to consistently take over a game in tough situations the way the truly elite QBs can. The cowboys have had some tough years and I think there will be more in the future because of the terrible deal they gave him.
