2024 NFL Week 8

[FootballDad]

Opening Thursday night matchup is a decent watchable matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams. We'll get to see Cooper Kupp back out on the field for the Rams, which is always good. For the Vikings Blake Cashman will be out, and TJ Hockenson practiced this week after being out since last December but won't be active for this game.

I'm not really rooting for either side, a good game with noticeable contributions by our guys is enough for me. Also want to see Sam Darnold continue his great play as the Darnold haters slink away into the shadows.

Darnold starts 8 for 8 with pinpoint accuracy and 2 TDs.

Now we need to see Stafford get Kupp involved. Jefferson already has 5 catches.

 

[Bucky]

Very happy for Darnold!

Very happy for Darnold!

Only $10m a year since he has limited upside.

Smart move by Minnesota. Good insurance policy for that price !

 

[Kaptain]

Kupp with a TD. Stafford looks sharp as does Darnold.

 

[Leonardfan]

Great seeing Kupp back out there. Darnold's comeback season continues!

 

[Snow Plow]

Darnold throws a perfect pass and Nailor drops it. Both QBs are playing great games and have avoided the pressure well.

Stafford needs to go back to Kupp this drive and put themselves up by 8 points.

 

[Snow Plow]

Kupp makes a great catch but was interfered with causing him to not get his feet in bounds. Stafford then found Robinson in the end zone. Both QBs continue to put on a show.

 

[Snow Plow]

Refs miss an obvious face mask on Darnold in the end zone. Rams get the safety and should win 30-20.

Ref was right there looking at it and didn't call it. Certainly does not help the leagues image!

 

[TwentyTwo]

3rd & 9....
Cooper Kupp 27 yard catch!

Accidentally posted in Cooper Kupp thread (will delete that) ...nice to see him back

It was as blatant a face mask as I've ever seen.

It was as blatant a face mask as I've ever seen.

Consider that the over/under was 48.5 and the Vikings were inside their 5 yard line with under 2 minutes left with 48 total points on the board. That’s the quickest way to ensure the over hits.

“Lost Wages” as Big Dixie Destroyer used to say

 

[Don Wassall]

Jake Funk promoted from Jacksonville's practice for the game today. Travis Etienne is unlikely to play but Bigsby and Johnson are ahead of Jake in the pecking order so don't expect much.

Drake Maye take it to the house!

LB Trevor Nowaske with his first career interception for Detroit! He’s been playing well the last couple weeks in limited duty.

 

[Freethinker]

TE alerts.

Cade Otton another good week. 5 for 55 with a TD already.

Mike Gesicki the receiving leader so far for the Bengals. 4 catches for 51 yards.

It was a great play! Damn the Titans line really sucks. Rudolph will be lucky to make it out of this one without getting injured.
