They couldn't find a better room to take those pics? :lol

Another win for the Patriots!

What a turnaround for the franchise compared to the last two seasons.


Coach Vrabel has done a great job.

Very sleepy game, neither offense looked good. Justin Fields is not an NFL QB, and no serious team would ever start him, or play a system that requires him to make reads or medium or long passes. They have to gimmick it up to even have a chance, but that would ruin the tank job he's running.

As expected, Ravens/Browns was an ugly, sloppy game on both sides. Bateman haters (yes they exist) will have learned what the offense is like without him taking the top off the secondary, and Browns still have one of the best defenses in the league and Myles Garrett. Ravens gave up 2 INTs including a pick 6, though neither were the QBs fault as one was a dropped pass into the air, and one was a tip.

But you can't beat a team when your rookie QB just sits in the pocket eating sacks whenever there's pressure. Dillon Gabriel was getting booed after every incompletion, and booed for short completions, and people were chanting "We Want Sanders".

Well they got their wish, as Gabriel went out with a concussion to end the first half, after giving them 3 scoring drives (FGs). Instead they got punts and interceptions for the rest of the game, as the Ravens D just went full blitz mode most of the time and scrambled his brain. The only time Shadeur could make a completion was when they didn't rush 5.

So yeah as I always say, there should NEVER be a heavy favourite in an AFCN game, and this was proof why

BTW since trading for Alohi Gilman (and thus moving Kyle Hamilton to Star), Ravens have allowed scores of: 17, 16, 6, 19, 16

Also

CHIEFS LOSE :awwyeah: :awwyeah: :awwyeah: :awwyeah: :awwyeah:

Was hoping for a Steelers loss, but the Bungles defense is beyond useless. Rodgers also went out at the half, with what looked like a wrist or elbow injury.

Seahawks/Rams also very close. Seahawks defense is insane for keeping the Rams to 21 points, but Darnold had a shaky game himself

Week 11 notables for me, the wheat is separating from the chaff:
1. Denver is rising to the top, solid D, and competent O. Nix is cool as a cucumber, coming onto his own. Also makes me happy that KC lost.
2. Bears 19 - Min 17. Da Bears are 7-3 ?? Could be 1st in their division if Eagles win tonight and Det loses, really?
3. Flacco magic only lasts for one divisional matchup, Steelers 1, Cincy 1 in Div play. Rodgers injured left wrist ... heard update that it could be fracture. No a huge drop off if the Red Nose Reindeer QB plays, for those who didn't want the Steelers to pursue Rodgers, you'll see how this unfolds.
4. Watched a bit of the LAR vs. SEA ... good close ending. Was a bit of a test for Darnold against a top tier team ... 4 int's, no TD's, not good enough.
5. Brock Purdy is back ... for a W.
6. Bal vs. Cle - just watched scoreboard and boxscore on this one, both teams looked pretty bad on paper but it's the W that counts. Finally, the Sanders era begins?

Top 4 teams right now:
Den and NE top of AFC
LA and Philly top of NFC

Philly's defense is a problem for opponents. Holy shit

The aura is gone in Kansas City.

Who thinks that the Chiefs will not make the playoffs this season?

I don't think that KC is going to make the playoffs.

I certainly hope you are right. They look old and slow on the field yesterday.

Ja'Marr Chase got suspended for one game after spitting on Jalen Ramsey (which caused Ramsey to punch him, getting ejected for that game)

Dammit why couldn't he wait one game to do that FailFish

Guess he really did spit on him ... which was obvious on the replay.

Poor Shedeur. -victim of house burglary:


Approximately $200,000 in property was stolen from the home of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders during a break-in Sunday, according to police and ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi. Three suspects entered Sanders' home at about 6:46 p.m. ET, according to a news release from the Medina County Sheriff's Office. Surveillance cameras in the home captured video footage of the suspects entering and exiting different portions of the home. The suspects were wearing masks and gloves and were seen exiting Sanders' home at around 6:58 p.m. ET with property belonging to Sanders.

Hahaha what the heck... that's gotta be some shady friends of his tipped some dudes off and they're like let's go rip this fool's shit. No way that's random.

Anyone surprised that Bills lost to Houston ... I'm not. Bills are erratically inconsistent. Ripe for the upset. They didn't even need Stroud, the backup QB did enough to get the W.

pastarocket is flying high ... NE Pats will win division easily.

Lamar is playing this Sunday.


In other news, the 49ers voided the guaranteed money in Aiyuk’s contract because he failed to attend team meetings and other mandatory team activities. That is 76 million U.S. gone haha.

wtfffffffffffffffff

He's not fighting it either, just going to get cut at the end of the season and sign with someone else

I wonder if his knee is still fucked and he's just cooked?

FIRST PLACE IN THE NORTH :awwyeah:

Top seed in the AFC for my Pats. Yesss!!

In Drake I trust.

Anything interesting this week?
1. Shedeur Sanders gets his first W
2. Yes, Ravens grab AFC North.
3. Dallas > Eagles ... must be disappointing for Hurt and the team.
4. KC pulls one out of their arse in OT
5. Yes, the old NE Pats are back .. top of the NFL standings!
6. LAR taking it to the TB Bucs.

MNF might be interesting to watch.

I don't think I've watched a game in recent memory where 1 team dominated another team so badly a the Rams dominated the Bucs in that first half. The Bucs couldn't stop any play on defence and the offence looked like it had never even played before, was ridiculous.

I don't know that I believe in the Pats yet, their schedule has been ridiculously easy. The Rams are in that mode where all they have to do is try a bit and they destroy other teams.

Coach Mike Vrabel is a strong contender for coach of the year. He helped turn the Patriots season into a winning season.

The big test for the young Pats is the playoffs. Can they play well and execute in the post-season?

-just told a co-worker that his Niners will play against Sanders. Sack that rookie haha.

Browns naming Shedeur as their starter is such a dumb, fun, entertaining, Browns thing for them to do. He basically did nothing in their win yesterday, and had a rating below JJ McCarthy's. Every time they got to the red zone, they basically took him out of the equation, even going Wildcat for their first TD of the game.

He can throw a lot further than Gabriel though, so he should be starting over him anyway, but the whole thing will be such a circus. And I am here for it KEKW

Skinny, what is going on with the Ravens in this game against the Bengals??

Burrow is picking apart the Ravens’ secondary.

Multiple turnovers from Baltimore tonight.

Lamar with a fumble in the first half. He threw a pick in the fourth quarter.

Burrow isn't really picking apart the secondary, they are just doing a great job of picking up the blitz, which gives Burrow time and leaves the Ravens secondary on an island against whatever receiver is downfield. They did nothing in the red zone for the most part. I'm not worried about the defense. Something I've noticed them doing is using a TE in FB position, so basically have 6 linemen, plus another TE plus their RB. Ravens should have gone less aggressive after that adjustment

Lamar is obviously not right physically, something I have been saying since game 1 when the claim was "cramps" but he still didn't move well against the Browns the following week. Bad game for him, but the last pick was a tipped INT, not his fault

I noticed a lot of tipped/blocked balls in that game yesterday, somewhat unusual for Lamar.
