here are the stats just past the mid-point of the 2nd Quarter

Denver/Browns

Yards 67/201
Time in possession 7.38/16.37

Denver haven't converted a 3rd down

just dominated and it's astounding it's only 10-zip

mariner4life

Chiefs are cooked.
Henry is awesome
The Ravens got blown out by the Bengals who go to top of the division
Oh, look, the Jets still suck, flogged by the Patriots today

Tom Brady has absolutely signed a pact with the devil, and at some point will have to pay the price.

everyone involved in reaching the decision that Teddy Bridgewater was the answer deserves to be fired.

clean out imminent at the Broncos. They fucking suck. Browns are dominating us with fucking Keenum under centre FFS

Keenum is still in the league? Good for him!

A solid backup QB. Won't win you many games, but won't be the reason you lose too many either

@mariner4life Henry threw a TD! Great fun

Pretty fair to say talk of a KC dynasty was very premature

surprise fo the season there!

they'll be back, I have no doubt. But not this year - but Mahomes and Reid are too good to stay down forever.

Turnovers are just killing them this season

defense is rubbish, o-line not providing the protection, no run game, and that's leading to Mahomes trying more and more, but not pulling it off. Also defenses are not allowing them those big plays.

49ers are a mess right now.

For all Kyle Shanahan's offensive genius, his teams are not switched on, they are Injury-prone and ill-disciplined.

49ers must be getting very close to the point to pulling the pin on Jimmy G and putting in Trey Lance. There's really bugger all difference between them right now performance wise so you might as well let Trey learn by playing - he badly needs game reps. Of course Trey Lance is injured right now as is half the team seemingly every week......

Must be a problem with their conditioning coaches

If you want a reason the game would be safer without all the hard plastic see the last tackle in the TNF game

Kick off return, the defending player has run flat out head first in to the returning player. It's really really nasty.

Its not high, he hits him in the thighs. But the returners knee may be destroyed, and i think the tackler knocked himself out. No pads there is no way the guy tackles like that.

It's really gross

mariner4life

the game itself is a ripper

first half was a great display of defense from both sides

now the offences have taken over and are shooting it out

mariner4life

1st and goal at the 1 and the Packers get zip

Cardinals need to go the absolute length of the field to win

mariner4life

and then the Cards wideout sort of gives up the pay, and gives up an endzone interception so the Packers win

Seriously, he turns around the Cardinals win. Crazy end.

@mariner4life tremendous game, really enjoyed it.

But htat kick return is just nuts. Sickening to see, and when both players go down from a routine contact, you have to ask if it's the right thing in the game.

Still, so many good games this year. So many good teams. It's been great for a semi-neutral fan

Yeah would love to know what the play call was. Green looked liked we was focused on blocking the defender so perhaps was expecting a run or QB sneak or draw. The RB didn't seem to be expecting a handoff though so my guess is that Green mixed up the call and was expecting something else.

Here's a fun fact: 5 teams won games this week with qbs that are current or former jets. For those keeping score at home that's Broncos (Bridgewater), Seahawks (Geno), Panthers (Darnold), Saints (Siemien) and Jets (White).

Not really anything significant about that other than a rather neat curiousity.

I see that the Cowboys come back to win without Prescott.

And the Bucs lost.

The Vikings. A franchise that are masters at the close loss.

Really impressive win by the Patriots over the Chargers in LA.

With the extended playoffs now (3 wildcard teams) the playoff race is going to be fun this season. The last wildcard spot in the NFC looks wide open right now whilst all 3 wildcard spots the AFC look open.

mariner4life

I wanted the Cowboys to win after the last Vikings drive was just a bunch of bullshit penalties
