Maybe he found some hot DPT that he wants to spend extra time with rubbing shoulders.
 
In case you're wondering, here are the next five games for the Denver Broncos:

  • 10/22: GB Packers
  • 10/29: KC Chiefs
  • 11/13: at BUF Bills (MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • 11/19: MIN Vikings (SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
  • 11/26: CLE Browns

And after the Browns, I see the Broncos will be at my Houston Texans on December 3 (and watch the Texans end up losing to them... >_<). Denver now 1-5 on the season after their latest fail.
 
They're going to have to flex one of those prime-time games right? It'll probably be Minnesota because that would be an awful game to force on the nation, especially since Tampa and the 49ers are playing and that would be way more entertaining.
 
Whether the game you are interested most in happens in the United States or the United Kingdom, it's time to play some NFL football! This Sunday begins with the Tennessee Titans vs. Baltimore Ravens in London. It ends with the nightcap of Jump Ace's New York Giants at the Buffalo Bills.

Enjoy today's games!
 
Dem Texans beat dem Saints! Dem Texans say dey gon' beat dem Saints, and did! It was 20-13 the Texans took down the Saints and the "Who Dat?" Nation. The Texans will have their Bye Week next week. Once the Bye concludes, though, they will be at the Carolina Panthers. CJ Stroud finally got intercepted in his NFL career. If he didn't get picked off today, he would have been the first NFL QB to not be intercepted in his first six starts as a QB. His team still won to improve to 3-3 on the season.

UP NEXT: [In two weeks,] We're at the Carolina Panthers.


Congratulations to all winners from this week's games! How did your beloved team(s) do this week?

That's the first week (11) of unlimited Sunday night flexing. The problem is there isn't a whole lot of Sunday afternoon games that look to be worthy of flexing in. The only 2 games where the teams are both above .500 right now are Pittsburgh at Cleveland and Tampa Bay at San Francisco, and Frisco is the late Turkey Day game later that week.

Edit - Both Fox and CBS can protect a game each week, so if Pittsburgh/Cleveland (CBS) and Tampa Bay/San Francisco (Fox) remain the most compelling games after Week 9, they'll likely be protected.

Edit part 2 - That MNF game can't be flexed because that starts Week 12.

Great win by my Jets. Unbelievably they are 3-3. Defense was lights out without both starting CBs. The gameplan was atrocious and Hackett needs to remember that Zach Wilson is not Aaron Rodgers. So far the Jets are proving what I said earlier in this thread if they can get average QB okay they can make the playoffs. The last few games Zach Wilson has been very close to being average. So there are no more undefeated teams and Detroit is looked very good. If they keep playing the way the are playing you're have to put them up there with SF , and PHI. I think the Dolphins are really ( though I really hate to say that) but I won't put them yet because Tua hasn't been to make it through a season without being injured . But if he can be healthy and they can play in the cold weather they have to be up there with KC right Input behind them slightly

If the Jets figured out how to score touchdowns, this game wouldn't have been as close. Eagles were gifted the first TD.
 
Note to self, when I’m at the 2 yard line with 10 seconds left….never audible to a running play in a 6-0 game.

If they had just kicked a field goal to close the first half, they could have done so again at the end of the game instead of having to go for the touchdown.

Buffalo arguably got away with a penalty on the final, untimed play. Either way, it stinks. It's still early in the season, but a Bills loss would have helped the others in the AFC.
 
Worst start to a season for the Panthers since 1998. At least they have the #1 pick in the draft next year to fall back on though.

Oh wait...

The Panthers should have kept Steve Wills but no they hired the guy whose team quit on him last year because he was an offensive genius and leader of men. But I can't put it all on him the GM is not good either he traded away his no.1 wr and they need one. Franchise malpractice is being committed by those 2.
 
Another week, another useless set of power rankings. I like the NFL with parity. So many good games, unless you play on Thursday.
 
Cowboys at Chargers TONIGHT!

Second-place in the NFC East meets third place in the AFC West in the greater Los Angeles area.

  • DAL Cowboys at LAC Chargers
  • FAVORED: DAL (-1.5)
  • OVER/UNDER: 51 points

Both teams each have two losses on the season. Dallas has the better record with 3-2 while LAC is right at 2-2.


Enjoy tonight's game if you'll be watching and/or following!

THE CJ INT was then fumbled and turned back over to Houston on the same play. 6 plays later its a TD. In my book that's a big brain play to get a fresh set of downs. :lol:

On the rushing front it was good to see Pierce lose some of his reps. He was not finding the gaps in the first few games and spitting his time with Devin Singletary allowed the run to sparkle a little more. Still and area that needs to be addressed in FA or the draft.

Matt Rhule was supposed to be a leader of men too and look how that turned out. 😖 And yeah, Steve Wilks was done dirty by them, big time.

I'd say trading away McCaffrey and not even getting a 1st rounder in return, was a bigger blunder than the Moore trade. At least they have a fairly competent QB there now. Panthers are definitely the worst run team in the league now though, now that Snyder is gone from Washington. A genuine embarrassment on many levels.

I thought they got a 1st round pick for him. Well I'm not surprised. I do agree about Bryce Young I think he is going to be really good eventually.
 
Seven, count 'em- seventh week of NFL Football is here! Let's go through the games coming up this week. The Sunday Night and Monday Night games involve the last two previously unbeaten teams:

* The week will be started as South teams meet. AFC South's Jacksonville Jaguars will head down to the Big Easy for a tough test against the New Orleans Saints of the NFC South for Thursday Night Football.

* The Las Vegas Raiders will get some Midwestern hospitality as they travel to the Chicago Bears.

* After un-undefeating the San Francisco 49ers, the Cleveland Browns will mix things up at the Indianapolis Colts.

* Jump Ace's New York Giants will try to take command of the visiting Washington Commanders.

* Joey D's Detroit Lions have been ballin' this season, but can they take down the equally ballin' Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore (or "B-More")? NFC North meets AFC North in this one, not to mention both teams leading their respective divisions.

* Birds of different feathers will clash in Seattle as an NFC West battle ensues between the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks.

* The Green Bay Packers will face a Mile High test when they go to Denver to meet the Denver Broncos.

* Omnis' Miami Dolphins are ready for prime time! Or will they be, when the Miami boys go up the Atlantic coastline to play at the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles?

* Monday Night Football this week is in Minneapolis as the Minnesota Vikings will host the recently un-unbeaten San Francisco 49ers.


BYE WEEK TEAMS (Wk. 7): Cincinnati, Dallas, Tennessee, New York Jets, Carolina, and Houston

Since my Texans are off this week, I won't be talking about how we did this week because... we're not playing this week. I may just check in and talk about other games that happened.


Speaking of the Houston Texans, I read an article suggesting that Texans fans are praising former coach, Lovie Smith, for the coaching Houston to a win at the Indianapolis Colts, giving Chicago the No. 1 overall draft pick. This has resulted in CJ Stroud becoming a better talent so far than most of the other rookie QBs drafted this season. I personally loathe the idea of, "I want my favorite pro sports team to lose just so they can get a high draft pick." I don't want to do that, the teams and players themselves don't to hear that, play to lose, or anything like that. I'm still glad the Texans are doing better so far in 2023 than they have all of last season or even the past two or three seasons.


I may check back into this thread to offer an assessment. Otherwise, enjoy this week's games!

SF gave up like a 2023 second round, 2023 third round, 2023 fourth round and I think a late 2024 pick for CMC. Nice haul but in hindsight, not getting a first was maybe a bit of a mistake for a player of that caliber.
 
Running backs have been devalued so much that it did seem like go deal at the time. It's kind of dumb though versatile backs like CMC, Barkley and Taylor are not a dime a dozen and they open up the offense

Time to kick off a new week of NFL football. Doing the honors is an AFC South meets NFC South match as the Jacksonville Jaguars will meet the New Orleans Saints. Who dat?

Enjoy tonight's game!
 
It's time for the National Football League to provide another solid Sunday of action. Enjoy all of today's games, including the Dolphins at Eagles Sunday Night Football game!
 
Only 2 teams have scored fewer points than the Steelers so far this season, and yet we are somehow 4-2.
Defence wins.
Thank god, we're paying them enough.
 
Did the team just forget to board the bus in Detroit?
I have no idea what went on. The officiating was garbage and the refs missed a ton of holding calls on Hutchinson and straight-up ignored OBJ lowering his helmet and hitting Kerby Joseph which resulted in Joseph getting a concussion. The Ravens were false-starting all day too. However, even if the Ravens had been flagged like they were supposed to, I still don't think Detroit would've won. The WR were dropping passes left and right and the O-line looked tired.

The Lions will bounce back though. Next up is a primetime game against the Raiders at home. The same Raiders team that let the Bears, led by an undrafted rookie QB, hang 30 on them.

Plus, there's an omen here:
