Classic.  16 point win, did not complete a single pass.

And Baker wasn't the worst quarterback on the field.

Woody Hayes was watching this game from beyond and saying, "What is going on with these formations?  What is the team with the red shirts and black helmets doing?  Those guys in white at least seem to understand the game a bit, if they only could figure out how to line up in proper formations."

Meanwhile Bill Walsh is just rolling in his grave.

LOL How bout them Cowboys...and Cardinals?

[HarryDoyle]

LOL Dallas!

[HarryDoyle]

Stay of execution.

[HarryDoyle]

And they thought Mike Pettine would save that defense.

[HarryDoyle]

So the Chargers have not won a game since this happened.

They luck out next week as they get to go to Indy and play the Colts.  That is a smelly game, it's like two giant out of control manure spreaders barreling towards one another.

Hope there is good news on Jack Campbell tomorrow, but I fear that it’s not good.  He clearly went limp on contact.  The Lions update basically said he’s resting and staying in the hospital overnight.  The fact that they didn’t state that he has feeling or movement in his extremities is concerning.

It’s so depressing to see kickers regularly hit from 40-50 like it’s nothing, and our kicker makes his last 3 extra points on Thursday and our HC says “oh yeah, I love the way Smack responded.”

Extra points are supposed to be a given.

Is it just me or is FG and PAT percentage down significantly this year? It's been a pretty ugly week for kickers this weekend.

Looks like the Bears are a legit Super Bowl contender. Darn. I guess it was going to happen at some point.

Some kickers missing short kicks in good weather, and then McLaughlin goes 4-4 kicking in  weather conditions just shy of a hurricane.

Your eyes do not deceive you...85.6 FG% and 95.9 XP% in 2025 versus 83.7 FG% and 94.4 XP% so far this year.

Bills release safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson - ESPN

Figured that was going to happen. What a clown.

[JosephC]

Early Sunday games this week is just a pile of poo.  Really, really bad.  Have the early rating sunk so the NFL just aren't putting anything interesting into this time-frame, or have they spread themselves too thin with all the "alternate" time spots?

If I still liked the league enough to watch and had my pick of all these games, I'd probably watch that Cowboys/Colts game in what I could only describe as a morbid curiosity.  That's how bad it is.

Yeah, if the Cowboys lose this game, and as of right now are down 7-3, they've really got some serious issues. Of course, they've really been a mediocre team for a few years now. If they were wearing Titans uniforms, nobody would be thinking about them.

[JosephC]

Go Colts!

[JosephC]

Stupid Colts choke.

[HarryDoyle]

Will the Chargers win a game this year?

Jets, Dolphins and fading Raiders all still on the schedule, so I say yes.

To be fair, you could call the 49ers, Lions, Bears, Vikings, and Packers all Super Bowl contenders, so basically 1/3rd of the conference, and that’s assuming that the Rams and Seahawks don’t figure it out at some point.

Even so, I wish the Bears were still one of the worst teams in the NFL.

[adambr2]

Tampa’s offensive line is horrific.
