Are you ready for some Football (Americano)!

NFC north (with exception of the Bears) is interesting. Some really rough games by all teams, but finding ways to win.

Let's hope the bears are bad for at least one more week....

The NFC West is a high-class dumpster fire, with all the teams in a circular standoff. Three 5-5 teams, and the Cardinals leading at 6-4. It's likely that only one team will make the playoffs. A healthy SanFran is scary, the rest? Not so much.

I don't know; I could see a scenario of the 10-7 3rd seed Cardinals surprising one of the Minnesota/Washington/Green Bay group at home. The defense isn't great, but they're young and learning, which makes them high variance.

True, but there's a difference between a threat in a single playoff game (heck, the Rams are a threat in one game) and playoff run.

Of the four teams, only a healthy SanFran actually makes me think that they are a viable playoff run candidate. Although they are doing their best to disprove that theory.

They're the biggest threat to go on an actual run, I would agree. I'm just seeing some signs that their emotional core is tanked after the last 2 years of "so close".

Also, right now, if you gave me the choice between "the Lions" and "the field" to win the NFC, I'd probably take the field, but it would be really close.

Fortunately for the rest of the NFC, there actually is no such thing as a healthy San Francisco football team.

KC, who is helped to wins by the refs

There has been quite the speculation on that and I agree. But Sundays game I thought was fairly called. This rivalry is going strong, like 1990 when the Bills were locked in with the Dolphins and The Sabres and the "Chowder Heads" the Bruins were going at it. Those were fun times, dipping your Red Solo Cup into a cooler of Slammers,

Sad Jerry Jones is the best Jerry Jones!

Sad Jerry Jones is the best Jerry Jones!

It'll be curtains for you ya see, curtains. They put up curtains for the Tyson - Paul fight (which I had more fun watching paint dry) to block the sunshine but not for a football game. Jerry Jones seems to think he's a Mayan Soothsayer able to predict the suns location any given Sunday. SMH

Every year, I hate fantasy football more and more.

I scored (up to now) the highest point total of the year in my money fantasy league. But I lost because of Joe Mixon, and because my opponent happened to score the new highest point total for the year.

Literally, if I had played any other team this week or any other week, or that team any other week, it's a W. But instead, I lost the game.

I hate Joe Mixon. I hate Fantasy Football. And I hate the desiccated corpse of the Cowboys and the lich Jerry Jones.
