I, too, thought Renfrow looked fast and wondered about his 40 time. He timed a 4.59 40, which is considered on the slower side. Clearly he plays faster than that.
I'm a numbers man but they don't always tell the whole story and aren't always completely accurate. "Tape," as always, trumps everything and Renfrow looks fast.
Mayock and Gruden deserve credit for trading up in the 5th round to get him.

I feel so bad for Kirk Cousins. He is now 0-9 on Monday Night Football. Most of tonight wasn't his fault. He was sacked 5 times and hit what seemed like every few plays. The
guy was running for his life back there. Never see the Minnesota Vikings offensive line play so bad. I felt horrible for Cousins as he was like a punching bag but he never complained
and stood in there like a heavyweight champion. Hoping the Vikings will learn from this and make adjustments. They were undefeated at home until tonight. I'm really worried about
Adam Thielen as he is not at full speed and doesn't look comfortable out there.
As for Greenbay, another great win. Fackrell and Martinez were all over the field along with their whole def. line. Defense wins championships so you can't count them out. Especially having
the great Aaron Rogers at quarterback. Huge win for the Packers as now they can probably rest some of their guys and they won the division tonight.

Pretty pathetic performance by the Vikings snowplow o-line, which was dominated all game. Cousins looked a tick slow and it never felt like Minnesota was going to make a comeback.
The play calling was also unimaginative. I had Mike Boone going on a fantasy team for the league championship and all they did was run him right up the middle every time even though he was stuffed every time and he's fast enough to get around the edge, the same complaint we often have about how White RBs are used.
Fortunately my team still managed to eek out a very close victory.

Cousins had six or seven great games in a row. The law of averages says it has to come to an end sometime, and it did tonight. He's still having a great season overall, though of course that fact will be ignored by the media (((sharks))) who will play up this loss, and the DWF sheep who follow them.

Agreed poor performance by Vikings OL. Though GB Defensive Front 7 is very formidable. It sucks Fackrell has been demoted and his replacements(The "Smith Bros" )played lights out along with Kenny Clark. Both of GB's overachievers along the DL have been solid in Lancaster and Lowry, doing a lot of the dirty work. Martinez is underappreciated and great.
What Fackrell's future holds is anyone's guess. You'd think several teams would at the very least have him on the radar as a rotational pass rusher, though I view him as a Starter .

It looks like the road to the SB in the NFC will go thru either GB, NO, or SF and that’s totally fine.
This assumes the 49ers beat the plantation on Sun and get the #1 seed. If they can’t beat an injury depleted plantation after what AZ did to them, perhaps they don’t deserve to win the division and the top seed.
Too bad “prime-time” Cousins showed up tonight, I wonder if his record of futility in these games is getting in his head somehow. He’s had a solid season otherwise after a slow start, but if MIN is going anywhere in the playoffs, Cousins has to take his game to the next level.

This game was one of those foul cesspool affairs. It was a typical caste fog game where white players were rendered invisible for the most part apart from a flash play or two from S Harrison Smith and a solid performance from QB Aaron Rodgers. Hell when OLB Fackrell was zoning in on a sure sack he got held. Funny that the Viking OL didn't consider doing that to one of the "Smith brothers" who were wrecking havoc all night? The white defenders on the Packers played solid ( as mentioned above) but did the anonymous dirty work that doesn't get recognized. Hell you know Booger wouldn't go out of his way to say something.
This game was the opposite of that Bills-Pats thriller where white players like Burkhead, Edelman, Josh Allen, Dawson Knox, Beasley and the M and M brothers (Murphy and Milano of the Bills) all shined.
The Vikings HC Zimmer , to his credit, has built a winning team in Minnesota. But I can't be the only one here at CF who feels he is just a tad too stupid to actually win a Super Bowl.
Without question the most worrying sight last night was WR Adam Thielen. As mentioned above we can't just assume he will get back on his horse and proceed as normal. We have witnessed abrupt downfalls from talented white wide receivers before as names like Eric Decker and Brian Hartline readily come to mind not to mention the way the Packers summarily dumped Jordy Nelson. NFL teams keep white wide receivers on a very short leash no matter how big of a star they are.
Hopefully Adam gets his legs back and the last thing we need is to add more bad news to an already semi hellish downward trend infecting white wide receivers from college on up of late.
That said I'll finish on a positive note. So called washed up Jordy was the Raiders best receiver ( better than A Cooper who got traded to Dallas) in 2018 under Gruden. And it is too bad their TE Moreau is out for the year now because all three ( including DE Maxx Crosby) of their white draft picks have performed admirably. At least their white wide receiver pick Renfrow is gaining momentum and coming off a fabulous game. Can't say the same for the likes of Isabella and Miller who are dying a slow death with their caste teams.
It will be interesting to see if the Raiders can string together two nice drafts in a row. Since teams like the Jags, Colts and Browns just to name a few won't likely draft white players the Raiders should be able to pick up guys like S Tanner Muse and LB David Woodward in the 2020 draft. Most teams don't draft multiple white skill players back to back but Gruden and Mayock have been moving in a positive direction ( it would be a hoot if they made the playoffs but as laid out in a post here too many things have to fall into place) so you never know. Time will tell.

Who do we turn to to turn Don into the authorities for having a 4th string black player on his FF team? I didn't want to harp on the Vike's o-line but they made V Smith into a HoFer last night and in conjunction with the play calling by MN. I suppose the black player that WOKEsportsnetwork was hyping pre game and his seven second sack on Rogers will feel entitled to a huge, huge contract extension. Speaking of Clark it is his 4th year of his rookie contract so I expected a huge year and IMO he has probably delivered.

Well another week down. I kept half an eye on it.
One image that stands out is a puzzled looking Brees throwing up his hands at a receiver that wasn't where he was supposed to be.
Some of these guys obviously don't do their homework. But who need to study that much when you are so electrifying?

I remember watching a game well over a decade ago, after Steve Smith, excuse me Steve Smith Sr., made a big play the hyperventilating play by play announcer (may have been Ian Eagle) blurted out, "There he goes, electricity on wheels!!" It was so over the top it was funny and always stuck with me.
can you imagine what Brees numbers would look like if he had a Welker or an Edelman? Or God forbid if Mike Hass had gotten a legitimate shot like many of the busts they had over the years. Robert Meachem Joe Morgan. A few more slower possession type receivers I can't remember the names off the top of my head that we're giving multiple years to develop and were going to "break out any day now".
I read that the only reason the Saints even drafted Hass was because Reggie Bush talked to the executives about getting him. He also requested that he become roommates with Hass during camp which they didn't do. Can't have them becoming best friends when you plan on cutting Hass all along. He reportedly caught everything in training camp and preseason but never got to see the field in the regular season.

You are correct on Mike Hass dwid. He was the straw that broke the camels back for me in terms of going all in on fighting the caste system.

Booger's response was too much when Joe T. said Blake Martinez led the NFL in tackles. He said the defense was designed to funnel everything too him.

Amazing. Just because he's black they think he's good. I remember before the 2018
draft he was considered a non-prospect and rightly so.
It reminds me of when the DWF Vikings fans wanted the team to start Joe Webb over Christian Ponder. Ponder was a much better quarterback. Unfortunately his career was derailed by injuries.
Wanting Webb to start over Ponder was ludicrous. The sole reason the DWFs wanted this was that Webb was black and Ponder was white and DWFs think all blacks are better than whites.
That's the only reason they want Barrett. He's black and the DWFs worship blacks.
Paxton Lynch has been on the Steelers roster since October (before that on the practice squad), but hasn't played a snap despite the problems of Rudolph and Hodges. He's the one they should have turned to after Ben's injury, or at the least made him the backup to Rudolph. He struggled with Denver, but only started four games before being (apparently permanently) written off as a "bust." There's no reason he can't be another Josh Allen if given a little TLC.
Hard to believe a recent first rounder can be treated like that, to the point that he's not even in the conversation despite the Steelers' obvious and glaring struggles at quarterback. Totally ignored by the coaching staff and by the media. If he was black, Pitt DWFs would be protesting outside Heinz Field, demanding he get a chance to fulfill his "unlimited upside."
