The Packers game is crazy today. Not good football, but an entertaining game; now in OT.

A-Rod is having a monster fantasy day (40p so far).

The Bears won't be resting their starters either, they have their own Playoff seed to play for. At least the game is in MN and not at Solider Field.

Maybe. They do need to beat the 49ers first if they want a shot at the bye. 3-0 in the second.

If they do lose today the 3/4 seeds still won't be set until next week.

I don't think they'll care which one they get. It's a complete unknown whether Nagy is even interesting in resting them in the first place, though.

But they’ll definitely care about the 2 seed.

Now that they won yesterday, yes.

I want more Pat McAfee commentating on games.

Vikes look dead on arrival.

 

[NHL1674]

Total yards right now....124-2 favoring the Bears.

This team is straight up bad. Cousins is a flop - I've changed my mind on that one. I hope they lose today so they're not embarrassed in Chicago next week.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Cousins is straight G A R B A G E

LMFAO

 

[Wild11MN]

Are you kidding me Zimmer? What a horrible challenge.

 

[57special]

Hate to say I told you so.

Hopefully they will finally realize that their offensive line sucks. Its absurd how badly they have been at identifying good linemen. It has been the weakest part of our team since Teddy's first year here.

So what are the feelings on Cousins after 1 season?

I wouldn’t not draft a quarterback.

Sorta like my feelings about Nino at the moment, but worse.

 

[Lapa]

So what are the feelings on Cousins after 1 season?

I feel like he's very inconsistent.

 

[Wild11MN]

One game he looks incredible, the next game the offense can't even get a first down. I don't get it. Is it the offensive line woes? Is it something with the gameplan? Does he wilt under physical and/or mental pressure in big games?

What happened to Diggs/Thielen over the second half of the season? Why could we suddenly not even get them the ball?

One more thing - he almost never fumbled or had any tipped passes in the second half of the season. Was he tired of that criticism and change his game because of it?

 

[57special]

There is no doubt that Cousins isn't helped by a mediocre to bad O line, but he just isn't that good of a QB. Never was. He is relatively athletic, yet is unable to escape a rush. For all his vaunted "arm strength", he falls apart under pressure, and guess what, that's what happens when you get into the playoffs- pressure.

I said it was a bad signing at the time, and unfortunately I appear to be right.

Raiders hire draft analyst Mike Mayock as general manager

Anyone watching the Seattle-Dallas game? Allen Hurns broke his ankle in horrific fashion. Fox showed the replay, and honestly, I think they probably shouldn't have. It was bad.

I don't suggest watching it if you can't take viewing serious injuries.

This image is all you need to know.

I figure a far off shot with spoiler tags should be ok... better than the gruesome closeups that can be found online for sure...

Thibs fired from Wolves!

Thibs fired from Wolves!

Strange, right after a decent win. I'm not an NBA guy, but it's probably for the better. There's already a rumor they're interested in Hoiberg.
