Minnesota clawed back into the game on its final drive, but it wasn't easy

To win the close ones at the end of games, it's just another identity of a good football team being able to close out the close games, especially on the road."

I was hoping for another blowout, but as the article says, games like these are needed.

A win is a Win!!!! This one on the road and in the division!!!

The Packers are right on pace for a 12-4 record, 5-0 at home 3-3 on the road.

Gonna be a Bear fan on Thanksgiving Day, if somehow The bears can pull off the upset, that gives The Packers just a little more cushion.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

It was a gritty performance. They can't score 50 every week. It is good to see a lower scoring win.

Unfortunately, we DO expect them to shit themselves against inferior opponents. But who knows, maybe they'll get hot in the playoffs. That's our hope, since we can't rely on consistency.

A game like that is a good dress rehearsal for the playoffs. I can't see this team getting to the Super Bowl without one or two performances similar to what Lacy did yesterday grinding down a defense and milking the clock in the 4th quarter.

Under Construction!

Mucky Tundra (10h) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (11h) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : database is on new host, eventually website will follow

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Sadly, this might be our life for awhile. I could put it on another host, but seems it was slower, although more stable

beast (30-Jul) : How long will it be down?

beast (30-Jul) : RIP site 😭

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site will die, I have to restart it.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Quinn stinks. Lot of underthrows. (my guess)

beast (30-Jul) : How did Quinn Ewers effect where Golden was drafted?

dfosterf (30-Jul) : All I've experienced was late at night or early morning. I just figured you were doing something in the background

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site sure seems to be down more than up

dfosterf (29-Jul) : 50 cent hookers? I'm moving to Green Bay. I thought it was just real estate that was more affordable there. 😂

Zero2Cool (29-Jul) : Sure seems site going down more than 50¢ hooker
