So a common prescription for Gronk in SoSH -- put him in bubble wrap through week 12 -- may come true for Watt.Anthony Hitchens suffered that injury in late August and the reports have him out for 8 weeks.
Rapsheet already has him out for the year, so, 3-4 weeks out I'd say?So Watt reportedly has this --
tibial plateau fracture.

Season ending?
I have never see a guy so often -- and deliberately -- misled by sources, with no consequence.Rapsheet already has him out for the year, so, 3-4 weeks out I'd say?
Three guys out with concussions.
Come on man.. His ankle is fractured. This injury is legit.Can't spell drama without Odell.
2008 is enough for me. I wish the ex-Pats went somewhere else.Because they're not the Patriots and pose a legitinate threat.
I don't hate them, but definitely rooting against them at every turn
My first thought is that Dallas has been better than GB historically, but then I got to thinking about it and realized I needed to look this up:Aside from the 1995 NFCCG, the Packers have owned Dallas for 50 years, they just keep finding new and inventive ways of beating them.
I guess I had a bit of tunnel vision, specifically over the past few years and how they find news ways to win; did anyone in that stadium yesterday other than the guy standing in the owners box under a dead animal on his head think Rodgers was not going to march them down the field and at least tie the game up. Then to top it off, after nearly throwing an INT in the end zone, he goes right back to the same play for the game winning TD...................My first thought is that Dallas has been better than GB historically, but then I got to thinking about it and realized I needed to look this up:

GB leads the all-time series 19-17, they are 4-4 in the postseason.
Dallas got three of those postseason wins in consecutive years from 94-96 which is obviously what I remember most vividly. And Dallas had a pretty dominant run going 8-0 from 91-96 (including those playoff games), and winning 15 out of 19 from 78-08.
GB started the series winning 8 of 9, and they have now won 7 of the last 8.
So remarkably even throughout their histories, with each team having crazy dominant streaks.
I guess I was playing you this week. Sigh.These garbage time DeAndre Hopkins touchdowns have swung my fantasy week in my favor. Nothing gets you into garbage time football on SNF or MNF like having a receiver on a trailing team.
I think the same percentage of games probably sucked back then but there were only like 2-3 games per week that you could actually watch and the networks could pick the best of them. These days there is so much coverage you're more likely to be exposed to some real shitIs it me or do more and more games just suck in the NFL then say 5 to 10 years ago? Maybe it's revisionist history on my part but it's seems 70% of the games are unwatchable. Not a lot of quality in the NFL these days. Maybe it's just me getting older and having less patience.
When has that ever happened?but there were only like 2-3 games per week that you could actually watch and the networks could pick the best of them.
Spent the whole game setting up that touchdown throw. They hadn't thrown the ball once out of that set, and this time, they bootlegged Trubisky out, and he had a receiver wide open in the end zone.What offense is Chicago running? This is two weeks of games where they've basically run Howard into the line or on a sweep for most of the game it seems.
Week in, week out. Ticky tack calls away from the play in HUGE spots. You'd think King Goodell would get up on his throne, and instruct these clowns to eat their flags unless it's egregious, like NBA refs eat their whistles.Refball is going to end the NFL before anything else. Just a brutal call by a Boger crew yet again to determine the outcome of a game.
Just the accepted ones. If you add the offsetting and declined penalties, it's probably closer to 25 and 200.17 penalties for 134 yards.
Nobody seems to care.Week in, week out. Ticky tack calls away from the play in HUGE spots. You'd think King Goodell would get up on his throne, and instruct these clowns to eat their flags unless it's egregious, like NBA refs eat their whistles.
You're probably right. I think anyone who watches a lot of college football notices it all the time. I watch parts of 20-30 college games a weekend, and it's amazing how much less the refs are involved on a weekly basis, especially at the end of games. Let the players decide these games. That's all most of us want.Nobody seems to care.
But when there is only one game on, no red zone channel, and your favorite team is not playing, you get a real sense of how shitty the product is.
Lacrosse? Water polo?Is football the only sport where if you lose the ball out of bounds you get to keep possession?
Is football the only sport where the last minute or two of the game is usually the least interesting (victory formation or placing the ball for the game winning FG)?Instead of a thrilling last min of football we get a ticky tack call followed by 3 runs and a FG. Fucking stupid
There’s nothing worse than the last 3-4 minutes of a basketball game that isn’t close — at least the end of a non-close football game is over quickly.Is football the only sport where the last minute or two of the game is usually the least interesting (victory formation or placing the ball for the game winning FG)?
What does that mean though? Gronk goes down the seam for a game-winning pass and the defender grabs him and keeps him from catching the pass. The refs "let the players decide the game", but I guarantee you this place would go bezerk.You're probably right. I think anyone who watches a lot of college football notices it all the time.

Exactly. This place was near-bezerk on Thursday over f’n uncalled offensive holding, for heaven’s sake. And everyone promptly forgot that a Pats’ scoring drive was kept alive by a ticky-tack defensive holding call.What does that mean though?
