In Survivor Leagues, it feels almost too easy to simply pick the team that's playing Buffalo. They've got the Vikings on the road next week.
But Arizona look inept too. And the Pats play the Lions next week; when was the last time they lost two in a row (just assuming they lose today in Jax)?

Bortles has absolutely picked apart the Pats today, they haven’t stopped the Jags at all, while the Jags defense has shut down the Pats offense, this is one of the worst Pats performances I’ve seen in a while.
Rams destroying the Cardinals 27-0, Rams are looking like the best all around team in the NFL.
Raiders up 19-7 on the Broncos trying to get Chucky his first win in his return to Oakland.
49ers up 27-13 on the Lions, Garappolo is looking sharp while the Lions continue to struggle.

Holy shit, I’ve never heard of that before!! What a bitch, quitting at halftime because he can’t take being on a shitty team. Fuck Vontae Davis. The Bills are a disaster, by far the worst team in the NFL. They are the worst team, and everyone but management could see it coming. I do think Josh Allen is a long term answer at QB. Small sample size and his number weren't all that. But with what he had to work with as receivers and linemen go, it was respectable. They are probably a lock for the first or second pick in the 2019 draft. Problem is, the top two prospects, Joey Bosa and Ed Oliver, are edge rushers. Having one would be nice, but it isn't the most pressing need on the team. Do they draft one, and still struggle on offense, trade down, or reach for a lesser need player? Knowing the Bills, they'll draft a kicker.

You mean Nick Bosa? Joey plays for the Chargers.

You mean Nick Bosa? Joey plays for the Chargers. Yeah, the other part of the set of Bosa speakers. At least they could have names with different amount of letters, like Joey and Methuselah.

Van picks off Bortles. Patriots ball with over 13 minutes left in the game and they trail by 11. Getting SB 51 vibes here!
Edit: Brady sacked and fumbles it away to Jacksonville! This game is nerve wracking!!! I can imagine the anxiety the fan bases are feeling.

Just as the Pats were getting back into the game, Jags get a strip sack of Brady and have the ball back!!

That was dangerous and ill advised. Bortles running with the ball and he dives forward and hits helmet to helmet with Stephon Gilmore. That's all you need in this situation, having your starting QB get knocked cold.

Very bad loss for the Raiders, their defense shit the bed in the 4th quarter, they should’ve won.
Lions/Niners was good, I think the Niners are going to put up a good record this year, I’m unsure about the Lions now.

I wish I was excited for Giants and Cowboys. I'm into seeing Barkley vs Zeke.

Posted this in the wrong thread, meant to post it here.
This tweet summed up the Vikes/Pack game perfectly. NFL should be embarrassed by the officiating in that game.

I’m surprised at how good the Broncos have been, I expected them to be one of the NFL’s worst teams but Keenum has done a solid job, he’s a massive improvement over what they’ve had since Manning retired, as a result they are massively improved. I still think they are the weakest team in the AFC West but I’m impressed they are 2-0.
I cannot be excited about this Giants/Cowboys matchup, extremely mediocre matchup for SNF, it’s only a primetime game because both teams are media darlings. I will root against the Cowboys because I hate Jerry but I have very little interest in this game, and tomorrow’s game is even worse.

Referee Tony Corrente said Clay Matthews was penalized because "when he hit the quarterback he lifted him and drove him into the ground."
That explanation pisses me off more because that's just a blatant fucking lie. It was a flag for playing football plain and simple.

I wish there was some sort of official in the booth somewhere that can over rule bad officials like Corrente and tell them in their ear to pick that flag up and quit being fucking idiots.

I.agree it was a questionable call. But the Vikings had a questionable one called on them too. Dungy said it best. At least they were consistent. The officiating was bad all game. Bad holding calls and non calls on pass interference's. Also while I didn't think it was a TD for Adams within the 2 minutes the officials SHOULD have reviewed it yet didn't. The Vikings call from my knowledge was a penalty based on the new "full body weight" rule correct? Clay's wasn't because of that rule according to Corrente apparently. So whether or not that Vikes call was a penalty or not idk. Because I just don't understand that new rule anyway so I can't really judge whether it was correct or not. I just know that the new rule is dumb.

Also, to join in some of you. I too do not give a shit about the Giants/Cowboys game. I'll be watching Hell in a Cell instead.

I don't watch the Broncos much but I felt that they would be good as long as they had mediocre QB play. They still have a top defense don't they? Case I figured would be mediocre at worst. I also thought they'd be run heavy with Royce Freeman but apparently not. Why do you think Denver is weaker than the Raiders? If I were to rank the AFC West it would be KC, LAC, Den, Oak.

Cowboys are dominating the Giants. An absolutely lifeless joke of a performance from the Giants so far, Barkley has only 7 carries, Eli has done nothing against a mediocre Cowboys secondary, the Giants O-Line looks like shit and they look all around lifeless. What a dull, weak SNF game.
