And it sounds like another black quarterback is going to be a high first round this year. Grier, Lock, Stidham, Minshew etc. are all being written off as afterthoughts in a weak QB class by the "experts". Once the QB position africanizes I am done with the sport. College football is already trending that way.

No reason why Will Grier can't run an offense - especially in this league. A few of the FCS prospects as well. I don't want any of them to end up in Blacksonville or a few other locales - however.

Caff already tied Forte's record! if he keeps going like this, he will pulverize it!

I totally agree. Same goes with Drew Lock.

McCaffrey breaks Forte's record on a 12 yard catch! 103 receptions for him on the season. (nice throw by Heinicke btw).

and then he pushes the pile like a power back... announcers said he was on the field for EVERY offensive play in last 6 weeks...

Lots of records set by white players this year. Thielen’s consecutive 100-yard games, Ertz’s catches for a TE in a season, McCaffrey’s RB catch record. Too bad Kittle couldn’t break Sharpe’s record a few weeks back.

Yes, all great achievements by our guys.

I guess McCaffrey is the first white 1000 yard rusher since Peyton Hillis in 2010. Hopefully his success will lead to more white running backs being given opportunities.

McCaffrey over 100 rush yards! Also, 10 catches for 63 yards. Nice game.

Now 11 catches for 71.

With Gurly out today, CMC will likely be the #1 ranked RB in FF for the season. This surely hasn’t happened since FF became popular about 10 years ago. Woodhead was #2 a few years back.

McCaffrey now with 78 yards receiving and 101 rushing. He could get another 100/100 game.

On that last 4th and 2 play where Carolina had the ball on Atlanta's 7 yard line, they should have just run CM and let him try to gain 2 yards on the ground.

Shoot. I thought LaGarrette Blout was going to be out or limited. Instead they have been using him more than ever even on passing downs where he is a horrible receiver as pointed out by caste announcers. Zenner should have been used more!

What happened to Wentz? Is he injured?

Adam Humphries continued his good season with 10 catches for 79 yards. With a good final game, he can go over 800 yards for the season.

Some good results:

The Eagles had a last minute win over the odious Texans. That moved New England into the #2 spot and a 1st round bye going into week 17. Since Minnesota won, the Caste Eagles are still on the outside looking in. Hopefully Seattle loses to Kansas City as that would put them into a tie with Philly for the #6 seed.

Typical Nick Foles, looks like a HOFer when he comes in relief, with little pressure. Outstanding game today with nearly 500 yards passing and a comeback victory over the Texans.

Foles has tried the full time starter thing a couple of times before, and it didn’t quite work out. Maybe third time will be the charm with the right team/system. But it’s also possible that high-quality back-up/occasional starter is his best bet. Wentz has now been injured in back to back years so if his durability becomes an issue, then Foles is in a great spot for years to come.

Nice results thus far. McCaffrey and Ertz set all-time NFL catch records today. Rudolph had an amazing game. Thielen continued to shine. Zenner had 67 total yards, despite splitting carries with Blount and Riddick. Burkhead had 80 total yards. Humphries with 80 yards and could get a nice contract via free agency. Foles and Rodgers both had 400+ yards and carried their teams to victory. Edelman had 70 yards and a TD. Kumerow with 70 yards and his first TD. Hopefully Kittle and Kelce can both have ankther nice game as the season winds down.

The only negative aspect of the Eagles winning is that the CF favorite Vikings will likely need to beat the Bears next week just to make that playoffs. No easy task, although the Bears could rest their starters if they have nothing to play for.

Edelman’s TD was really cool, as he rolled over two negro defenders trying to tackle him and scored...

Jake Kumerow broke out today proving that his pre-season stats were no fluke, flashing deep-threat potential on 3 rec for 68 yds and a TD! We could use the 6'4 Kumerow on the outside, a place lacking whites with Thielen, Kupp, Hogan, and an aging Jordy the only ones considered true outside receivers.
