I'm getting absolutely savaged on my picks this week. If the Rams can score again I'll be pretty happy. Otherwise, I really need Carr to come through against the Chiefs tomorrow.
Cooper has 17 catches on 43 targets this season lol... Watson should be benched, not sure what other scrub they have behind him though. They need Flacco back haha
Wasn't as bad as it looks. There were some positives. The refs absolutely handed the Vikings a TD with 4 PI calls on one drive. I think the Jets should have won that game. Jets need to get the run game going though.
Vikings got a lot of calls go there way. @Public_N_M_E says no but I think the refs handed them that game. I agree. If you are going to call PI on all those ones on JJ, last play should also be PI.
There were definitely calls that I wouldn't expect to have seen called. Were they legit calls? Yes, by the book and the letter of the rules. But would you expect them called? Nah. Some favourable calls. Honestly it's kinda nice to be on the recieving end for a change.
Garrett and Breece are so used to having the ball forced to them and then having to make something happen. Aaron isn't going to do that but he hasnt seemed super accurate coming off a year layoff either. Same old Jets.
Maybe it's the Packer fan in me, but I don't think the Vikings are legit, I think they will come back to earth. A 5-0 start will ensure they probably end with at least 10 wins, but watching their games the past 2 weeks they haven't looked super sharp, especially this second half after Aaron Jones got hurt.
I think their coaching staff and scheme is legit. Losing Jones is big for them. Even if they come back down to earth, other than the Lions games and remaining Packers game, their schedule is very easy.
If they keep pulling wins out of a hat they might get the first round bye. But we saw the Eagles start 8-0 last year and win a few games they definitely should have lost and then come back down to earth in the second half. Lose the first seed and get smacked in the first round. I think the Vikings are better than I thought they were. I still think they are the 3rd best team in that division and maybe the 6th or 7th best in the conference.
Hey @Public_N_M_E, JJ is getting better treatment from the the refs than Mahomes. You guys could win the super bowl if you just throw to JJ every play because he either catches it or they call PI.
I had seen some of those calls. Even I was like... Cmon, it's hard to play defense at all. But.. but.. they are legit calls, sauce is very handsy, just most refs wouldn't bother calling it.
That was a PI on the final play if it was on JJ. I don't think it should have been but gotta call the game evenly. Held him and prevented him from making a play on the ball.
Great job by the D to hold up but this win was an absolute gift.
