Some games are possibly make or break time

Rams are in need of a win or they could be thinking of next season. Vikings v Packers could also be do or die for both teams. Eagles have a difficult match up v Washington while the hapless Niners entertain the Bengals.

Thursday
Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills

Sunday, October 29
Rams vs. Cowboys:
Vikings vs. Packers:
Falcons vs. Titans:
Saints vs. Colts:
Patriots vs. Dolphins:

Ravens vs. Cardinals:
Bengals vs. 49ers:
Bears vs. Chargers:
 
Frustratingly the Giants defeat of Washington has got the team into win mode & all talks of trading away expensive & underperforming pieces to acquire draft picks appear to have been shelved.

If we beat the Jets (will there be a TD scored by an offense in this game?) the tank is off, no way the Panthers will win 4 more games than us between now & the end of the season, and the stupid and futile hunt for a wild card spot begins.

Aha for Chicago!
It’s always a 4 hours apart week and 5 weeks the rest of the time for me in Toronto.
Come to think of it, we‘re never in sync for a week or so in the spring either. I agree it’s a pain in the ass.

Makes the Boro game a 10 a.m kick off and slightly more respectable for a beer. Each year we say that we'll get together as a group of Boro fans in the Chicago area for that week's game for a few beers, but we've never done it.

This year I've spoiled it by being at home for that weekend!
 
It's amazing how quickly the script can change in the NFL!

3 weeks ago 49ers were crowned early SB champs. All of a sudden they're looking vulnerable.

Dolphins can't beat a +.500 team.

Chiefs and Eagles continue doing what they do.

Ravens and Lamar Jackson are looking very very good.

Not looking forward to the Eagles Commanders matchup. Should win, but it is always a close game.

Washington stopped Philis unbeaten run last year, and took them to OT earlier in the season.......but can't see anything other than a Phili win.

Think if Washington actually run the ball, and the OL actually shows up and doesn't concede double digit sacks then.......nah, still be a defeat.

Still, there's always a wasted top 6 draft pick to look forward to🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Division record always critical in the AFC North. Agree with Lamar Jackson being special.
 
There’s only really one confident team in the NFL that’s goes out every weekend thinking it’s another W, and that’s the Chiefs. Confidence is a coin flip in the NFL it seems as many teams are evenly matched although there’s still the teams which are very much several levels above the others when they have all their key players in place.

Yes there will be.

Currently 7-3 to the Jets at the end of the 1st Q.
Jets have 3 1st downs but none back to back & scored a 50 yard TD from one.
Giants got 1 1st down from a defensive penalty, made a fumble recovery in the red zone & turned it into a FG.

Woot, 2nd 1st down due to a facemask.
