Week 8 Matchup and Game Discussion

The real Sam Bradford is back.

All it took was a shell shocking from the Eagles to bring him back.

[RaoulDuke79]

Another super exciting MNF game.

So Chicago is carving up Minnesota...just like everyone expected...

Vikings would be pissed if they don't take advantage of the GB loss.

Up by 2 in fantasy now with my opponent having Cutler, Asiata and Walsh. Looks like I lose but I figured at this point Chicago would mostly run while Minnesota would pass and not kick field goals. All this while leaving Carr and Prescott on the bench in favor of Stafford, who scored 13 fantasy points, while the other two scored 35 and 26.

Tough to miss that one...

I ended up with a tie, which I'll take.

Pretty crazy after 8 weeks no one with a losing record in the NFC West. No one with a negative pt differential in the AFC West, and the Chargers at 3-5, have a better pt differential than the Raiders, at 6-2.

That's cause the Chargers can rarely finish a close game.

Once again...ball at the 2 yard line and Chargers have Melvin Gordon who has been amazing this season and they don't even give it to him once and rather throw the ball 4 times against Denver's prolific secondary.

Sums up the game

Also, with McCoy being conservative I was shocked he went for 2. Typically I go for two in many similar circumstances, but I thought for sure they'd miss it, and that Denver would kick a FG to put them up by 8, and the Chargers would lose by 2 at the end. It didn't happen but it should have.

I'm not entirely sure Rivers doesn't audible out of runs because we were often running on 1st and 2nd down most of the game. He's even said once that he prefers to pass with 1 play on the one, because there are more options, but against that pass rush it's ridiculous. I would have rather run 3 times.

Going for two dumb there only cause we were going 2 from like the 10 yard line rather than the 2.

And Rivers said after the game that he didn't audible out of anything and that he ran the plays that were called. So they were all pass plays.

So after week 8, it looks as of right now, everything in the NFC must pass through Jerry's Palace to get to the big dance !!!!
