>leaves TE in the back of the endzone uncovered for the easy go ahead TD.

Chargers are back to their old ways I see.

EDIT: McConkey using his white boy powers to try to save the game for us.

EDIT 2: Sorry jokers escaped with a win today.

That was actually a pretty good game.

Okay gentleman, it’s about that time again. Packers v Bengals. Yada yada yada, I’ll kill myself yada yada yads.

However, I’ve realized my follies from the game against the Cowboy. My chakras were misaligned and that issue has been resolved. I’ve also consulted the crystal and my spiritual guide for today's game.

So I expect SMOOTH SAILING today because if not…. If we lose to the GOD DAMN CINCINNATI BENGALS and JOE FLACCO…I don’t even know! Residence in a mental intuition maybe if they manage to catch me before I commit a self-defense situation against myself.

@DSP's Tax Lawyer, Are you ready?

Steelers safely win. 23-9 and are now 4-1 and 2 full wins ahead in the div.
Browns now at 22 straight fails in Pitt

It's confusing on where to rate the Steelers. Def didn't look good in the first few games, but has gotten much better. A few of their seemingly so-so opponents have turned out to be better than expected too.

The raisins fall again! yay

Poor fishes.. another heart breaker. Have a family member who is a dolphins fan. Not happy, but is used to it.

The cowboys go down.

Justin Fields vs the Broncos:
9 completions
9 sacks
-10 net yards (45 passing, 55 lost on sacks)

I remember people trying to defend this guy as late as late last season. The same types of people with the same types of arguments (and play from him) as kordell stewart.. So fucking glad we didn't stubbornly stick with him for half a decade this time too. That said, i'd take kordell stewart over him.

The browns playing a rookie with that line and has only been sacked ~6 times thus far today. And the rookie has positive yards!

Glad the Panthers are looking halfway decent. I do have a soft spot for them due to a powerlevel that I shall not reveal.

I mean........................they're going to win the IR North

I'm with you today. Go Packers!

I mean in general, against the rest of the NFL. but yeah, it looks that way at this point.

THAT'S IT. Jordan Love is demoted to double nigger. What an awful interception. The man can not be trusted whenever a play breaks down. His nog brain can't handle it.

We know the standard, 9-8/10-7?

I don’t trust them to not put together a winning streak only to completely collapse once they hit 9 wins.

Look, I’m not a fan of the Steelers, but goddamnit I want them to either prove me wrong or finally have the Bad Year that gets it into their heads that they need a Rebuild.

 

[pikachudidnothingwrong]

Damn it packers!

Flacco gets a second chance at besting the cheese. That can't have happened in this way many times before.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

I like how people are defending Fields (and Jalen Hurts) by saying they have no interceptions or have a low int count this season. YOU NEED TO THROW THE BALL MORE THAN TEN YARDS FOR THAT TO MATTER! YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY THROW FOR OVER 100 YARDS A GAME TO BE IN THE CONVERSATION FOR A SERVICEABLE QB!

Fields looks terrible and Gaylen Squirts has the excuse of a Super Bowl slump.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

By the end of this game I have a feeling it'll be triple nigger. Could be worse. I put my bet on the Raiders this week and Titans have decided to magically find their talent socks today.

 

[Nogg]

Some people might think the smart move would be to give a 40 year old QB who's been on the team for four days some quick, easy throws to offset the fact you can’t block or run the ball.
Then there’s Zac Taylor.

I'm just watching the boxscore but how are they struggling here?

 

[pikachudidnothingwrong]

The bengals have one of the worst defenses in the league does it not?

Both these teams offense reminds me of the packers vs cowboys game collective defenses thus far.

Also LOL ouch:

ROFL in fact:

Eh, it's less struggling and more not finishing drives. GB's offense was humming the first two drives, but Jordan Love's low IQ monkey brain decided it was time to throw an interception in the red zone. 3rd drive was a three and out, but 4th drive is going swimmingly so far because we were saved by Jordan Love dropping a dime to Matthew Golden. (That alone won't save Jordan Love from double nigger status, but it's a start.)

As far a defense, mean no turnovers or anything by the GB defense yet, but I think Cincinnati has only had one or two first downs so it's hard to complain.

Another thing to keep on mind that I PRAY won't matter much is GB's kicker (McManus) is out so we're using some XFL guy. You'll probably see GB avoid field goal attempts outside of like 4th and long. He did make one so far, so that's cool.

The bangles have one of the worst defenses in the league does it not?

They've been a lot better this year, still not great, but far from the dumpster fire it was last year. They have gotten multiple turnovers every game but one. The big problem has been the offense not capitalizing. For example, the defense had kept the Lions game close but then Browning decided to turn the ball over three times, twice inside the Bengals 30. Right now a lot of the stats look bad because we can't sustain drives and the offense has the lowest time of possession per game this season.

Makes it better then i guess. Offense certainly seems to have problems. You could see the QB literally just joined the team. So many route error throws and other mistakes of that nature.
