Troy Reeder interception.
He’s got a great nose for the ball as it’s already his 2nd on the season. It’s a shame and a crime that his snaps seem to be limited now to that of a rotational linebacker.

I thought the Rams were the new Patriots. No CF interest in tonight’s game? It’s a dud anyways. Seems like the Rams are trying to lose.

Rooting hard for the Rams....
Kupp needs a big second half, Stafford needs to shine....
Get Funk in there!

Reeder, another white all state RB in high school moved to linebacker. Can you imagine that big monster 6'3 245 running with the ball? It's a shame so many big white athletic young men never get a shot at RB.

I guess no ones watching.

Kupp up to 7 catches for 92 yards. Higbee has a TD. For the Blackhawks, Wilson is hurt so the illustrious Geno Smiff is in. To his credit he looked very good, orchestrating a long TD drive.

Rams up 9 with 6 to play.

I just got home. Was with family all day. Looks like I missed some action. Glad Kupp is close to the century mark again. It makes me angry that they don't
seem to want to give Funk much of an opportunity yet. I thought maybe at least a few kickoff returns or an occasional handoff here and there. Maybe in the
latter half of the season. Either way it's Seahawk Hunting Season. Let's finish out this win to get back on track after last weeks loss.

I remember in 2014 when Geno Smiff was inexplicably captaining the Jets. On their road trip to San Diego, Smiff went missing and skipped the team meeting the day before his team mustered up a 31-0 loss. He couldn't be found in his hotel room, and calls to his cell phone went straight to voicemail. Smiff's explanation was that he was in a movie theater and had turned off his phone, and that he was just confused over the time zone difference. But here's the thing: the west coast is three hours earlier than New York. How can you be late for a practice when you are squeezing in a flick that is actually three hours earlier than you claim to have expected?

Incredible that this indelible leader of men has continued his career at professional sports' most esteemed position.

Geno Smiff with a pick to lose the game. They just got the ball, down 6 with a chance to be the hero. Looks like the bumbling receiver tripped himself up making for the easy pick. Hahaha. Plantation Pete’s squad losing on national tv is always enjoyable.

Geno Smith kind of highlighted russell Wilson’s flaws. He’s able to see over the line so he threw good passes down the middle and Geno also properly stayed in the pocket unlike Wilson who gets himself sacked.

seattle needs a good balanced traditional QB after the Wilson era. Wilson is good but his horrible tendency to get sacked by his own fault and inability to throw down the middle holds the Seahawks back.

Nice to see the Plantation lose! Rams bounce back from last week. Too bad Funk is not getting carries.

Love to see a patented Geno Smiff performance too. Vintage mediocrity!

I forgot all about that. My second favorite Smiff story is when he was sucker punched by a black teammate and had his jaw broken because he would not pay off a debt.

Not a bad start to the week. Stafford bounces back and gets the win, Kupp 92 yards receiving, Higbee TD, Troy Reeder INT. I always enjoy seeing white defenders make interceptions but I'm not gonna lie, it's that much sweeter when it comes off a black quarterback.

Apparently Robert Woods approached McVay this week and demanded to be targeted more in the passing game that seems to happen every time a white player leads his team in receptions. Like Diggs crying his way out of Minnesota over Thielen or the Eagles' locker room demanding that Zach Ertz stop being the team's primary receiver.

Woods is a pretty good possession receiver but he’s not the big play guy that Kupp is, if they continue to force the ball to him I think the offense will start to decline. Woods doesn’t score many TD’s or produce big plays he just catches a lot of passes.

Pretty sure that same scenario has played out with the Rams for the past few seasons. Hes's never been a true #1 WR and his production in the pros came at the same time Kupp joined the Rams. Another overrated black player with a fragile psyche.

Adam Thielen, who had been ignored all game, made two huge clutch receptions on the Vikings' final drive to set up the game-winning field goal.

It's been a quiet weekend without the board here. Especially last night for the fight. Then add in college football and most of the nfl today. Thanks
to Dons Tech guys and Don Wassall for getting us back online just in time! Sunday Night Football.

Darnold had a dud of a game...it's obvious the offense runs through McCaffery - let's hope he is back sooner rather than later.

I watched most of the Patriots-Texans game and it was entertaining. Davis Mills bounced back from a bad performance against a very good Buffalo defense. Mac Jones was really good too, it was great to see the game came down to Hatie Smiff's defense blowing the lead late.

Browns-Chargers was a fun shootout. Herbert and Mayfield both played very well.

Bengals/Packers game definitely had it's share of Special Teams Drama! Crosby missed 3 FGs and an Extra point, but ended up with the Winner in OT!

Bengals rookie kicker also had a couple of misses that will haunt Cincinnati fans Tonight! He had an opportunity to win in Both regular time and OT.
