My fantasy leagues are starting to do drafts and I realized I have not really checked up on how players are doing this year. Oh well, I just do ESPN's suggested pick 80% of the time anyway even when I do research.

Things are looking awesome for the old Vikes as usual (rookie QB they burned an early draft pick on destroyed his knee in his first game). Ah well, wasn’t expecting much more than a rebuilding year, we’ll see if Sam Darnold does anything with them.
I hate that I can't even celebrate my team winning when they do so thanks to the foot of an absolute clown.
The league should step in and ban the Bears from drafting first round QBs

Narrator: Sam Darnold did in fact do something with them.
Best they’ve been for as long as I can remember. Ridiculous team. Never can get a read on them.
Wins are wins no matter how you get them, but the Vikings success feels unsustainable. I mean, history suggests that at some point Darnold is going to turn back into a pumpkin.

Oh I can’t imagine it’ll last too much longer. Did their damndest to lose this one after racking up a 28 point lead.

My husband has Amon-Ra St Brown for fantasy and we were both so confused at the stats tonight as we missed watching the game. Caught highlights later, hilarious.
The officiating was wild, to be fair. Detroit definitely got away with some shit, and Seattle got that 2 point conversion for sure, but at least two of those defensive pass interference calls we got were BS. Though that critical offensive pass interference call Seattle got looked like BS to me too.
I keep replaying Jared Goffs slow ass catching that ball for a touchdown in my mind lmao. The Lions did that. I almost can't comprehend it lol. They've sucked since before my dad was born, it feels like a law of nature is being broken. Crazy!

I cannot figure out how to watch the Vikings Jets game. I have student access to Redzone/Sunday ticket but that doesn't seem to have the London game, I seem to need another subscription on top of that? Bah. I did manage to find a stream that was someone recreating games in Madden which was amusing.

NFl network only if you aren’t local to one of the teams, I believe. Big early lead followed by a frustrating second half. They seem to be making a habit of those.
I was at a conference this week. Didn't have any access to the streaming services that was showing the Niners game. I hate this new era of television. They somehow made a worse model for TV than all the past ones. I hope this greedy alignment with streaming services comes back to bite the NFL in the ass.
We kept the Cowboys to single digits, zero touchdowns, forced turnovers several times, and absolutely went bananas on offense. Losing Hutchinson to what appears to be a really bad injury sucks, but the Lions are incredible.
See you next Sunday, Vikings fans...

Oh we gave you plenty to work with. We never pull off a 2 point conversion and that 3 and out with 3 minutes left on the clock was pretty embarrassing.
The Chiefs are the last remaining undefeated team, and there has been exactly one week where I feel like they played well. Champagne problems.

Damn it!
I follow a frustrating team.

The weather, of all things, helped us a lot (and didn't seem to hinder us at all, wildly), but we looked good today. Don't agree with the Branch ejection (even though it was clear he was rightly penalized for that play), but we didn't even start panicking.
The Detroit Lions are 7-1.

Yeah they've been super fun to watch. I ended up with the Lions defense on one of my fantasy teams which feels weird, but it's working out for me!

Vikings were pretty damn fun for a few weeks there but now Darnold seems to have thrown one too many INTs and lost his nerve. Defense won the entire game yesterday.
Lions defense played fantastic today, especially in the second half.
I haven't slept like crap like that due to being amped up from a football game since my college days, watching Dan LeFevour and eventual asshole Antonio Brown destroy the MAC in the mid-2000s. I am going to be in rough shape at like 2 PM lol

Winston just practically pile drove himself into the endzone and then Njoku practically did a backflip? This game was kinda boring to watch at the start but ever since the snow ramped up I feel like it's become very fun.
Snow makes bad football good
