Opps, didn't mean to quote myself twice. Sorry. Too late to undo the more recent version.

Hmmm....Kaaron didn't play in the second half.

Great minds, you beat me to it. He should have gotten the wrist vaccine.

Well this NFL day went down the tubes quickly. Wrong lady sang at the end.

1-0 this week.

LOSER BOWL
Go DC (3-7) > Dolphins (3-7, -2.5)
O Really, serás aplastado.
Honolulu is the hometown of both starting QBs - Marcus Mariota and Tua Tagovailoa. The local time is 0430, ouch.
It was fine earlier, but dumb of the Dolphins to run a play on 4th and goal from the 2 in a tie game with less than 2 minutes left and DC out of time outs. They should have kicked the short FG. If Miami goes on to lose they deserve it.
Never mind, the DC kicker isn't good enough, OT.
13-16 final.

Panthers > @Falcons (-4 ). The Panthers should be favored.
As I said.
Panthers TD + 2 with 1:08 - 4th, 27-24.
ATL drive and 45 yard FG with 0:16 - 4th, 27-27. OT
ATL punts, TE Tremble makes the stadium tremble with an angry 54 yards catch and run. 30-27 on the subsequent 28 yard field goal, 30-27.

Bryce Young overcomes ankle injury, sets Panthers record in win

... Young returned -- and then turned in a career day.

The No. 1 pick of the 2023 draft, with his ankle heavily taped, passed for a franchise-record 448 yards and three touchdowns. He drove the Panthers in position for the winning field goal in overtime thanks to a short pass that tight end Tommy Tremble turned into 54-yard gain. Young almost single-handedly helped Carolina improve to 6-5 and move a half-game behind the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4).

Afterward, Young didn't hide the amount of pain he was in.

"'Pain' is an accurate way to sum it up,'' Young said. "You just breathe through the pain.''

Teammates marveled at Young's return and performance.

"I saw him come back into the game,'' said wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who had eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. ''I'm like, 'Hey, you good?' He's like, 'Yeah!' I'm like, 'Well, next time get your ass up.' ...

Buccaneers vs @Bills. Go football. Should be a good game.
It was a good game. 9 (I think) lead changes. 32-44 Bills.
Good thing the Bills didn't need my support. Carolina is only 1/2 game out of the Division lead.

4:25 PM CBS
@Broncos > KC (-4.5 ). The Broncos should be favored.
As I said. Denver walkoff 35 yard field goal, 22-19 Honorary mention to KC's misogynist RWer Butker for getting a PAT blocked.

GO:

1:00 PM

Bears > @Vikings (-2.5)
Gotta hang on to that Division lead, Chicago Dog.
Big MN comeback in the 4th. Bears walkoff 48 yard field, 19-17.

Packers (-7) > @Giants. 27-20

Bengals > @Kaarons (-5.5). GORavensGO 12-34

@Jaguars > LA Traitors (-3). GoHunterGo!
Hunter is on IR . Jags are kicking ass, though.
35-6 final. Congrats, O Really!

Seahawks > @Rams (-3.5)
Seahawks started slow but crept back into it.
19-21 final Sad wife = sad life

49ers (-3.5) > @Cardinals
Burned 'em like a hummingbird in a Useless backyard, 41-22

Ravens (-7.5) > @Browns. GOBirdsGO

Browns' Shedeur Sanders debuts after Dillon Gabriel concussion

Once upon a time we would have celebrated the hit on Gabriel.

Sanders finished 4-of-16 passing for 47 yards and an interception. He also had three carries for 16 yards as Cleveland, which led 16-10 at the half, fell, 23-16.

The Browns drove to the Baltimore 25 in the closing minutes, but Sanders threw three straight incompletions. Cleveland turned over the ball on downs, allowing the Ravens to run out the clock....

I'm sorry Shedeur did so poorly, but he was playing the Ravens defense and I'm happy for the win Vegas nailed it.

8:20 PM NBC/Peacock
Lions vs @Eagles (-2.5)
I like both. Go football. Should be a good game.
8:05 ET. Changed my mind after looking at the standings. Philly is a lock and I'd like to see both the Lions and Bears in the Playoffs. GoDetroitGo.
Shouldn't have changed my mind, 9-16

8-4 today, 9-4 for the week
