I tragically picked the Vikings in an ill fated spin of a wheel which was rigged, but I didn't realise til years later when I was already invested in them. They will never win anything.

Therefore the Packers can **** off as can the Saints, but one of them will definitely be in the Super Bowl so I'm hoping the Chiefs destroy either in the Super Bowl

 

The Vikings making the play offs would've been a travesty. They already managed to **** it up enough to get a low enough draft pick to not get one of the top talents. They will be the Bills for the next decade, having 6-9 to 8-8 seasons for 10 years. Never making the play offs (though 8-8 might be enough some years with the addition of the 7th team) and never being bad enough to really get a top talent in the draft to help turn the franchise around.

Packers have won, Aaron Rodgers is a ****

 

Vikings were never going to make the play offs this year with their defence. However Jefferson looks a real steal at pick 22 in last year's draft and Cook is an elite RB. Get the likes of Hunter back and draft well again and we could have a very good year in 2021.

 

They didn’t draft well. They had something like 100 picks because of having a GM who has a fetish about finding value every year and moves around like a madman to get as mana picks as possible, most of whom miss. They took a corner in the first 2 rounds for the 5th time in 6 years or something because Zimmer is a defensive guru, the vast majority didn’t work out and are at other teams now. They don’t have a second this year because they traded it for a guy who wanted to join a contender, realised how bad the Vikings were and asked to be traded again after 6 games.

They have a QB who’s best moment as a Viking was when he restructured his contract so the cap hit wasn’t as bad. He needs everything perfect to win and the Vikings can’t give him that because of how ****ed they are with cap space.

They aren’t good, they will have a few good players because every team does in the NFL but there are way too many flaws in this team for them to be challenging in 2021

 

Watching the Chiefs-Browns game and Mahomes has gone off with what looks like concussion. It will be a disgrace if he's let back on the field - he couldn't stand up unaided after the hit.

 

Good, Mahomes has been ruled out with concussion. Well, not good, but the right call.

Who thinks the Olympics will be on this year?

 

Nope.

 

No, and it shouldn't. International travel = international transmission. Essential travel only with tests and isolations no exceptions for the foreseeable future.

 

This Bucs - Packers game is going to be special.

 

**** you Tom Brady

 

Although TBF that interception was effectively a punt.

 

The packers are going to win, just have to hope the winner of the AFC absolutely batter them

 

The Packers have not made enough of the three turnovers. The one turnover the Bucs got, Brady threw a 39 yard touchdown with a second left on the first half clock.

 

Just wait, this has got packers win all over it. Will probably be a Packers Bills Super Bowl just to annoy me

 

Nice run by the Bucs.

 

What are the Packers doing kicking the field goal? They’ve lost now thankfully

 

I guess with 3 timeouts left they're banking on their defence to stop Brady.

 

Which is a much bigger gamble than going for it and trying to tie the game, even if they don’t get it Buccs start from their own 7 or whatever. Absolutely idiotic, they won’t get the ball back I reckon
