    This team is downright scary…. Absolutely dominating on both sides of the ball … I’m becoming a fan…

    Germ I get it you are all in but do you really think that the Lions can get it done when the playoff road is probably going to go thru San Fran or Philly?

    I have no idea and injuries will decide those games IMO.

    Healthy Lions vs those two healthy, well I believe the Lions would have shot, and that's all one fan can ask for.

    Lions fans are excited not crazy like the Cowboys

    Any given Sunday , Thursday, and or Monday.

    All you want is a shot.

    But fellas it's to dam early to talk playoffs now. It's only 5 games. Lets give it 10 weeks. Then we can bring this back up.

    Isn't that what the entire season is about? Playoff seating, divisional wins for winners, and draft position for losers.

    Not to complain but the horse collar tackle was banned for a reason, because of the potential injury. Yes the penalty was called and some called it a good penalty to take given the situation. Based on the player's comments he should expect his next game check to be $25,000 lighter.

    The only reason Dak Prescott is still in the NFL is because Jerry Jones owns the Chokeboys. Change my mind.

    The Jets would take him in a second. I think the Bears would too. Don't get me wrong both teams think they could "fix" Dak, not sure what it would look like if he was out of Dallas?

    Down go both remaining 5-0 teams.

    On paper today looked like a lackluster match-up day across the board. That's why they play the games.

    That was a good football game to watch. Dallas defense won that one

    Steelers keeping me from shutting the TV off for the season. Canada has got to go, they need creativity in the play calling.

    Pickett may not be a true franchise QB, but there is enough talent around him that if they can shore up the O-line he can manage games. He's a smaller version of O'Donnell.

    Warren needs to be the starter at RB, Harris needs to just shut up and earn back his starter role.

    Friermouth going on IR really hurts voming off the bye, if they had him back healthy it would open up so much more with Pickens and Johnson back together.

    Still think they can win the division, might come down to a tie breaker, but need to see a lot more improvement and cohesiveness to have any optimism they can win in the playoffs.

    You've got some really solid points there. The Steelers are indeed a mixed bag this season. Totally agree about the play-calling; Canada's playbook needs some sprucing up to say the least. It's like watching the same movie over and over and expecting a different ending. Interesting you mention Pickett. I was looking at NCAAF consensus picks and Pickett often had quite the backing in his college days. Seems like a lot of people see potential there. I do think he could manage games well if given a solid O-line. Can't make a QB shine without a line to protect him, after all.

    The 49'ers pass rush was not getting home.

    Flying into Green Bay Saturday night from Tampa, WOO. First class flying, NFL team owner flying over the lit up stadium before I land, tickets at the 50. To be honest humbled my son got the tickets from a business partner and we are staying at the hotel on points. It is funny I used to squirrel away $ to buy tickets on eBay and stay 40 miles outside of Green Bay when my son was young for his birthday, now free tickets free hotel free shuttle to the stadium. Blessed.

    Cousins looks like he tore his Achilles. RIP to the Vikings season.
