Biggest tank job?

Cowboys. Those guys have quit on McCarthy. Most overrated coach in the past decade. Should have gotten more titles in GB with Rodgers.

SOMEONE finally figured out how lucky Seattle has been
Fun win by the Cards
What a roller coaster
So tired of seeing Wilson win every one of those
This Murray kid is fun to watch.

Terrible INT after the holding call nullified the TD. 3 INT's for the Annointed MVP after a few weeks of the season. Fun game.

Both teams have it figured out. You need to score as many as possible to win. Gas pedal to the floor the entire game.

Play of the year fizzles if your team loses. Heck of an effort by Metcalf. Dude can fly, but they sure had him covered in routes, with only 2 catches. Lockett 200 yards and 3 scores. And they lose.

Still speechless on the Metcalf play
You see all the speed out there, most guys are just a fraction or two ahead or behind
This kid, he's like watching Usain Bolt. Its almost unreal. Plus he's HUGE

If someone is willing to pay a premium price for Thielen, I think they have to do it. The chances of the Vikings being relevant while AT is still at peak form are pretty slim,

Interesting take on the Vikings and trading from NESN and Ian Rappaport

One of the hottest names on the NFL trade rumor mill is Adam Thielen.

But is there a realistic shot the Vikings deal the star wideout before the Nov. 3 trade deadline?

Well, yes and no, according to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora. Minnesota appears willing to make moves — Exhibit A: the Yannick Ngakoue trade — but is less intent on moving Thielen, a two-time Pro Bowler.

From La Canfora’s column published Sunday morning:

While the team has tried to quell a sense that a firesale is afoot with its public remarks, the reality is the (Yannick) Ngakoue trade sent a distinct signal to other contending clubs and led to an outpouring of inquiries about the team’s roster. League sources said it’s possible that receiver Adam Thielen is dealt before the deadline, but not likely, while there was an expectation among other executives that Minnesota is very open to moving safety Harrison Smith, left tackle Riley Reiff and tight end Kyle Rudolph if they can find the right takers.

Added an NFL general manager: “They try to push Rudolph but the guy we want is (Irv) Smith. They don’t want to trade the young guys. But, yeah, they will push out more salary if they can.”

Thielen, 30, is in the midst of another solid season. He has 32 catches for 415 yards to go along with a league-high seven receiving touchdowns.

NFW you trade Irv Smith.

Definitely try to get value from any old expensive guys, even Adam, though it would pain me to see him leave.

Yep

And for the most part.

They use the pass to soften up the D to run the ball. The ol' play action drop back 8 yards and go long isn't a staple of their passing game.

Get in the shotgun, give your QB a little extra time and have skill players that can run.

its the creativity that we just don't get
KC still will drop back once in awhile and throw the bomb
Its all about WHEN
They still will hand it off up the middle
Its all about WHEN
We have always been the most easily readable offense in the league and it is showing

Maybe a team like the Ravens would give up a #1 for Thielen, their window is NOW. Soon they will have to pay their QB $40 million a year. A guy like Thielen with great hands would be a perfect match for Jackson, who isn't an elite passer.
