That would be an impressive line for Rodgers the last 12 months :D

He had a TD and 75+ yards dropped so the stat line would look much better if we had receivers. But, really, they're gushing over how much poise he's showing and how in control he looks as a rookie literally two games into his career. He's been impressive so far.

It's the Bears and Browns.

I saw parts of his game last week and watched most of the game tonight. Wentz has impressed me, even more so that he missed a bunch of time in training camp.

He has great size. Is athletic. Seems smart and hasn't been forcing passes into coverage as many rookies do. Wiling to stand in the pocket and take a big hit so a pass can get out. I like this kid's chances to at worst become a very solid starting quarterback and i think he'll become better than that.

Come down the road, unless the Browns land a franchise QB in next year's draft, i think they'll regret not drafting Wentz and the Rams will wish they picked him instead of Goff.

Well ... all of the crowbar-swinging, meatball mouths around here are awfully quiet. Which is spectacularly great. I hope Josh Sitton is enjoying his time, getting swallowed down into the abyss.

I'm kinda high on McKinnon so I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing (for the Vikings). They do have a near-elite defense so running the ball is very nice, but generally in 2016 you want to throw the ball. Lynch, CJ Anderson, and other "elite defense" running backs didn't force the offense to go into the I-formation and batter into the back of the offensive line 25 times while not contributing in the passing game.

Kahlil is also out for the year. Not sure if that is good/bad for them. He was playing like **** the past year+.

His career as an impact RB is basically over considering he will be 32 next year.

The division is literally right there for the taking. All of this injury karma coming back to the other NFCN teams makes me believe that anything short of a 1st-round bye should get McCarthy's ass canned.

The schedule still favors it and all the other "elite" NFC teams look very beatable (Panthers, Seahawks, Cardinals), unless people are really buying the Giants, Eagles, and Vikings as serious contenders (I'm certainly not).

Well if nothing else I am 100% confident they can get a bye, next weekend in fact.

This.

If we don't crush every division game at Lambeau, McCarthy can GTFO.

Vikings lose starting Qb/RB
Lions top WR retires and lose starting rb for the year
Bears let go of their best player (Forte) and lose their QB for an extended period of time...along with some of their defensive players.


That mixed with how weak of a division we have and our easy schedule saves the front office and coaching staff again.

Exactly, crappy schedule saves MM and a 11 win season and a lame division crown keeps his job.

Vikings put LT Kalil on IR too. Losing your QB, LT, and franchise RB, wow. They have an easy schedule like GB does, but that's tough to overcome. They have @CAR, then home vs NYG and vs HOU before their bye. Will be interesting to see what their record is at the bye week.

Holy hell. I don't think I can remember a season of injuries like this for one team.

I remember thinking to myself...Jeez this could be a really costly win for them on the injury front.

On another round nfl teams being sick of a talented players **** the buccaneers released ASJ after his recent dui.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.
