Despite the Rams losing today Goff and Kupp made a little of a comeback. The 2 interceptions must have bee huge as Tua had under 100 yards passing for Miami.

A question for anyone that saw the game. Kupp had 11 catches for 11o yards which is very good. One problem. It said he was targeted 21 times. That's hard to believe. He has such good hands. Did he really
drop almost half the passes thrown his way or were many of the passes uncatchable? Thanks to whomever can answer this question. I'm glad they are getting the ball to him more.

Foles made the mistake of throwing a pass into running back Montgomery's hand's. The Bears are lucky Ryan Nall wasn't in there. He might have caught it. (sarcasm)

21 targets is a lot. There might be a backlash going forward since they lost the game meaning he will never see the ball for the rest of the season. Still I'll have to remember not to bitch about their usage of Kupp anymore . Ha.

Worried about Humphries. A poster said he was skulled and I noticed he had zero catches. Any updates on his condition?

I can't speak for the rest but I am getting the Bears game and they bore the living shite out of me. At least Taysom Hill has had a couple of decent runs so far.

I wonder if the Pack media will get on their linebackers as the hopeless Vikings ran through them like butter? Meanwhile Ty Summers sat on his hands on the sidelines the whole game trying to keep warm. The Pack have two good young tight ends. Sternberger had his best game as a pro. But that receiver St. Anonymous from ND is beyond bad. I got that game and the Pats.

Kupp had zero drops that I'm aware of. Targets simply means balls thrown a receiver's way, it doesn't mean all, or even any, of the non-completions were dropped. Goff was under heavy pressure all game and a lot of the passes he threw Kupp's way were uncatchable.

Trust me if the Steelers go undefeated there will never be another pale face new hire at q coaching position(which tbh probably wouldn't even alter the racial make up of the NFL)

If anything, it could help...

Foles screwed up again! He threw it into RB Montgomery's hands.

Oh and actually was watching Rams and didn't see any drops by Kupp (possible I missed it as I was talking to my wife).

Spillane may have had the best game by a defensive player yet this season -- 10 solo tackles, 1 assist, 2 pass defenses, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 pick six!

Iron man Philip Rivers quietly has a great game and another win.

Credit to Miami's defense, their efforts are what beat the Rams.

The way young White linebackers have been treated this year, it wouldn’t surprise me if he gets benched next week....
We’ve seen Cody Barton rack up 10+ tackles, then get benched; Troy Reeder had a 3 sack game, only to be benched the following week; Blake Cashman, cole Holcomb, and Ryan Connelly emerged as team leaders last season as rookies, and are now afterthoughts, relegated to special teams...

Goff had 61 pass attempts, which is an indicator that a lot of them were made out of desperation. Miami's effective defense combined with Goff perhaps having an off day were the reasons. None of it was really Kupp's fault.

Herbert does look good. Early returns on him have been more than I expected.

49ers look bad today. They should of ran at the Plantation's defense and controlled the tempo of the game

Jerks making fun of Van Ginkel's last name. I think it was Bradshaw. With all the bizarre black names you'll never see them making fun of a black player's name.

Bradshaw and his ilk are what I like to refer to as "liberal hicks." Common traits of this group include ignorance of the world around them, a lack of scientific knowledge, a smug belief in the absolute "superiority" of liberal democracy, blindly believing anything as long as they saw it on CNN, a creepy love of homosexuality (these are the left-wing Christians shrieking "Lawdy Jeebus sez to love the homos and anyone who disagrees is going to hell!"), selective anti-whiteness ("them other whites are horrible racists, but not me and my white neighbors"), strong anti-European sentiment, and a strange, leftist-flavored American jingoism ("our black basketball players can beat anyone in the world! Go U.S. of Gay!")

My maiden name (from Croatia) was hard for others to spell or pronounce ("Van Ginkel" would have been way easier and way closer to "mainstream") and I got a lot of ignorant comments from those liberal hick types, including some blacks who thought that being named Jones or Williams made them "more American" than me. Of course, the (((media))) never call out those clowns or even acknowledge that they exist, because according to CNN all leftists are brilliant scientists, insightful philosophers, and kindhearted souls all rolled into one.

Yes Hill. Just as I was thinking of bottling this game and selling it on the market as an insomnia cure something fun happened. The guy is an unbelievable athlete yet he gets a couple of corn giblets thrown his way a game. Put him out there and utilize him.

Why the **** does rodent even keep Ryan Nall on the roster? He has 2 career carries. David Montgomery is 3.7 yards per carry for his career. Even the best running backs have backups that get a handful of carries per game.

I really hope two teams can step up and prevent a Caste nightmare Seahawks-Chiefs Super Bowl. Wilson and Mahomes have been playing very well this year, not going to deny it. I'm also going to honestly and unapologetically state that I hope they come crashing down to earth. Every success they have is another blow that the powers that be will use in the Great Replacement of not only White quarterbacks, but White Americans. (Yes, guys like Mahomes and Wilson are not the real evil, they're just being used by those who are, but we still shouldn't feel guilty for rooting for them to fail. They're set for life financially no matter what, they'll have millions of adoring fans no matter what, they're better off than 99.999% of Americans and 99.99999% of the people in the world - they're not ever going to be victims).

If it is a Chiefs-Seahawks Super Bowl, and Biden wins, and they decide to pull his plug early so they can have a black quarterback Bowl AND Soviet Amerika's first black female president - we'll never hear the end of it.

Dung Beetle gets the call when he was trying to fake the slide. Loved seeing him get his clock cleaned anyways.

Except when APeterson was with Minnesota and Gerhart was there,

Another Anthony Lynn special - blown lead resulting in what looks like a loss.
