KC's plan must be to lie low until all the Giants pass rushers get hurt.

[Grube]

Maybe the Chiefs are just nice guys and don't want the Broncos to be the only team to lose to the Giants this year.

Lattimore made it back for one play... out of the game again.

Better to miss him the rest of this game then have him make things worse I guess. Sucks none the less, especially if it turns into more than one game.

He had to be talked into heading to the locker room by Ginn, and he wasn't happy to go, Cam Newton style sulking as he left.

Saints premeditated helmet to helmet and noone was surprised ever.

[draynay]

Cousins and Thompson both obliterated on the same play.

[xskarma]

I haven't seen the Rams offense in the second half on Redzone channel. Are they struggeling that badly?



Oooooh, that looked nasty int he Saints-Washington game. Cousins and another guy injured it looked like.

[draynay]

oshit busting out the air cast, thats not cool

Premeditated? That's quite the stretch. Cousins didn;t slide and it looked perfectly normal with that in mind.

[draynay]

Some people just want flags on every tackle.

I rewatched it. I was correct.

Rams are shitting the bed tonight. It's the Vikings for God's sakes, if you're going to suck pick a team that makes sense to be poor against.

Edit: My fantasy hopes may be pinned on the success of Goff and Gurley

Do the Vikings not have 7 wins?

Vikings have beaten their fair share of good teams. They're not bad.

I think the people that say a player means to hit someone helmet to helmet outside of situations where the player is stood up and another launches themselves crown 1st have ever actually played. If you lower yourself to make a tackle shoulder first, and the other person lowers after (happens constantly with QBs being sacked/sliding or WRs bracing for hits) you can't avoid it. You see guys get flagged for late hits on sliding QBs all the time despite trying to avoid the QB and just clipping them purely from momentum for example. The only way to make sure you don't hit someone's head is to tackle low, in which case you get people complaining about knee hunting. There is no way to always tackle in a way that looks 100% clean.

Naw naw, characterizing an entire team as headhunters based on a single legal play makes more sense.

4th and 33 for the giants. That's almost impressive

While beating teams like the Bears, Browns and Niners along the way.

I'm still one of those of the opinion that Keenum is not a good quarterback and opposing teams make him look better than he is. Yes, I'm stubborn.

If we're going to be honest, the Rams have beaten

Colts, 49ers, Cardinals, Giants, Texans

Cowboys and Jags are OK wins, but the rest are pushovers.
