So from a neutral perspective, rank these bad plays:

- Bostick onside kick (obviously as a Packer fan this one is the worst.)

- Williams whiff on Diggs

- Moore letting Jacoby Jones get behind him

Williams

Bostick

Moore

This was terrible. Don't even have to hit him, just hold onto him until the other guys get there and clock runs out.

both games today were wildly entertaining. Just wish the 2nd one ended on a funnier note with the Vikes losing a 17 pt lead at home. So close

Just wait till next week my friend. Losing to Drew Brees is acceptable, after Nick Foles picks them apart it will be so sweet.

Maybe / probably so - but for such a vaunted D - they've been giving up some serious points of late........

Pittsburgh reminded me a bit of our 2010 team. Great offense but no defense. They are a really good match up for NE. Now, having said that Bortles probably implodes and they get blown out.

Honestly, after thinking about it, I'm kinda glad the Steelers lost to the Jaguars.  When was the last time a team started talking crap about beating the Patriots and actually beat the Patriots?  The Steelers are literally the biggest trash talking team in football for a team that hasn't been able to beat the Patriots in like 97 attempts.  Jaguars have better cover corners, they have a better pass rush, they have better linebackers.  They have an actual shot at keeping the Patriots under 23 points.  Get a couple turnovers and keep running well and you never know. 

Hopefully the NFL gets involved.  Jaguars win, and a new team is guaranteed to win the Super Bowl.  New team as in a team that's never won the Super Bowl.  You know the NFL would milk that for the parity thing.  Patriots winning another one is very bad for the NFL.

Let's hope the NFL cheats the cheaters.

It's one thing to pay your quarterbacks 20 million for one year when half your starting defense is on their rookie deal.  It's another thing when you've got free agents coming up and won't be picking high in the draft anymore and you're losing coordinators left and right. 

Barr, Kendricks, Hunter and Diggs are all free agents after the 2018 season. 

That also doesn't account for the fact that Keenum isn't all that great. 

 

yea Vikes have a good bit of cap space now, but it's about to be eaten up big time. Mostly after 2018, but still some this year. Between T.Newman, T.Johnson, S.Stephen they're losing  1706 snaps on defense and 1762 snaps on offense from Berger, and McKinnon on offense. While not stars, alot of those guys played pretty well this year, and would probably cost ~$10 to buy that production on the FA market, unless they just roll the dice that internal guys can be good replacements, which is never a guarantee. 

Diggs, Hunter, and Barr probably will take up ~30m the following year. Then there's also Kendricks.

It's gonna be like Seattle where everyone thought they would just keep ascending, then the salary cap catches up and they can no longer be as active in FA and end up with eroding areas like OL.
