At least you didn’t have to pay to watch the anemic game like the Rams fans at SoFi.

[Lamb18]

Dalvin Cook on fire this overtime. So is Jefferson.

[twoods]

Not looking good for the Bills. Their D is tanked. Wondering why the hell they are still playing. 

[Fukui San]

Pitch to Dalvin, get 10 yards.

[Lamb18]

Finally a pass interference call. Makes up for the freebie incomplete pass the refs deemed completed earlier.

I think Vikings should just go for the down and not the end zone.

[Salacious Kitty]

Bills going down.

Or maybe not! Huge sack.

Well, Kirk thought otherwise. What amazes me is thebreceivers getting in their two steps in before going out of bounds.

[Xeliou66]

Vikings take the lead with a FG after their first OT drive, let’s see what Allen and the Bills do.

[twoods]

Jefferson almost has 200 yards- guy is a beast. Good for him to play a great game again the team that traded him. 

[Lamb18]

This is like a playoff game.

I also can't help thinking, Super Bowl preview?

If the Bills don't pull this out, they won't even be leading their own division.

[Fukui San]

How do you even defend Allen?

If this game ends in a tie, it'd have to be the greatest tie in NFL history.

It's like he waits for all the defenders to swarm around him, then he runs ahead with no one to touch him.

[twoods]

Figured it was time for a Josh Allen untimely interception. Gah. Good game but this sucks. He needs to clean those up if they are going to do well the rest of the year.

Interception!

Did we really win?

I guess we did.

[Fukui San]

Wow! And it ends like that.

[Magog]

UGH!!! But, what a great game that was. 

I better see that type of effect from the Vikings next week against that certain scummy team.

[Fukui San]

Well, the Patriots get to play these two teams (BUF and MIN) three times in the remaining schedule. I'm not that optimistic.

[Xeliou66]

Allen picked off and the Vikings win it!! Holy shit!! What a win for the Vikings, and what a huge fucking choke job by the Bills. They were dominant for most of the game, and then they fell apart, McDermott electing to go for it and not kick the FG when up 10 was the key moment when things turned around, the Vikings managed to come back and get the win in amazing fashion. Allen is a great QB but he’s having some real turnover issues right now, and his mistakes cost the Bills the game, and I’m wondering if all of the media hype has gone to the Bills’ heads. Allen will have to cut down on the turnovers going forward, as the Bills are in an extremely tight division race in the extremely competitive AFC. Great win for the Vikings on the road, they have a very strong team all around and Cousins has shown he can pull out wins in tight games this year. What a game!!

Which scummy team is that? You have so many to pick from. 😂

[twoods]

I’m guessing Cowboys or Bucs?

As a Dolphins fan, I'm not sure my mind can comprehend being in first place in the division.

Ha ha, most of this board will be

cheering for the Vikings next Sunday. Then on Thanksgiving we play the Patriots.

Both--Vikings play both next week!

ETA: whoops! Vikings play Patriots next Thursday, not the Buccaneers.

Colts up 10-0 over the Raiders so far. I swear, Josh McD may not make it through the season.

Memo to the rest of the league: Please stop hiring our coordinators and coaches. They have all been booby trapped and will self destruct!

[Lamb18]

I still can't believe Vikings won and are now 8-1. Now time to visit some real lambs!

[stonehaven]

One of the best Vikings games I have ever seen. I love the Bills and they normally play tight but letting the Vikes come back like that? Not cool. Then again, where was defense from the Vikes on the final drive by the Bills that sent it into OT?

Vikings win in OT? CJ Ham (Duluth born and raised!!!) plays pivotal role in game. I'm all in. Now to watch the Packers/Cowboys and deflate my mood. Once you see a great game like that, nothing else compares....

[Lamb18]

I like it when guys do a flip or some other gymnastic move after they score.

[Xeliou66]

Colts up 13-7 on the Raiders at the half - I think the Colts made the right move switching back to Matt Ryan at QB, QB was far from their only issue and they just don’t have a lot of talent on offense and there’s no way Ehlinger would succeed with it so it’s best to go with the guy who has a lot of experience in Ryan, I hope he has some success the rest of the way. The Raiders are just god awful, a major disappointment, McDaniels is a poor head coach and the Raiders just have a lot of holes and I’ve never been impressed with Derek Carr.

Cards up 10-3 on the Rams in the battle of the backup QB’s. Both of those teams absolutely must have a win today.

Cowboys and Packers tied at 7.

What happened to Kyler Murray?

[twoods]

Hamstring injury from last week, but they don’t seem to be missing him.

[mojoween]

After 49 years of intense research, I have discovered the two grossest words in the English language - touchdown, Dallas.

[Xeliou66]

Colts beat the Raiders - I’m happy to see Matt Ryan get a win in his return as the starter. The Raiders suck, I don’t even know if McDaniels will survive the season but they have a lot of issues and their recent drafts have been terrible for the most part.

[BlueSkies]

It was a classic Bills/Vikings game today.

I kind of like the Bills but admit there's a good part of me that found the ending funny.  Many Bills fans act like Allen is in fact their savior on Earth...  yet he can't even field a snap to ice the game.  Inexcusable.  That situation reminded me of the movie All The Right Moves 

Edited November 14, 2022 by BlueSkies

[DrSpaceman73]

Wtf bills???

Well criticize colts if you want for the Saturday hire but they got the win today. Sure it's the Raiders but still a win. And the team is 4-5-1. Not horrible.  You'd think they were 0-10 the way the media discusses them. 

Also o line was much better today. 

And a 39 yard run by Matt ryan!

Jefferson wasn't traded, he was the Vikings' first round draft pick. What was traded was Buffalo's first round draft pick in exchange for Diggs, and we chose Jefferson with that pick.

I still recall the last Vikings/Bills game in Buffalo in 2014.  Had a very exciting finish as well.  Only that day the Bills pulled it out when they had no business winning that day with the way they played.  Sort of like the opposite of today

[Xeliou66]

Rams lose to the Cards, I never remember a reigning Super Bowl champion playing this badly ever, they are pretty much already out of the playoff race. What a trainwreck of a season they are having, I figured there would be a drop off given what they lost and the draft picks they traded, but I didn’t see it coming that they would be absolute shit. 

[Lamb18]

Why didn't Green Bay go for it on 4th and 1? 30 seconds left.

Because if they had failed the Cowboys would’ve had the ball and would already be in Packers territory, they would only have to get a few yards to kick the game winning FG. I didn’t get why GB didn’t run it on 3rd and 1, that way if they failed the clock would either run out or Dallas would have to call a TO, and they’ve had some success rushing today. And then Dallas calling timeouts and the end and apparently trying to win it in regulation from deep in their own territory was weird. Strange ending to regulation, going to OT in GB.

[voiceover]

Just watched some clips of the fans at the Munich game belting out “Country Roads”.   I’m sure tons of locals were involved (per social media, it’s often heard during Oktoberfest), but there’s a number of U.S. military bases in Germany, so undoubtedly there’s Americans singing along too.

I burst into tears at “…to the place/I belong…”.   I’ve been in that situation — far from home, spontaneous loud singing of a song you knew when you were younger (one memorable time it was “Smoke on the Water”🤣), the yearning makes the miles fall away.  Such an awesome moment I don’t even care that it was at a Bucs game.

[twoods]

I don’t like the Cowboys but man do I hate the Packers and wish they lost in front of their fans.

This will hurt Dall-ass's season a lot more than it will help Green Bay's.

Eat shit, Dallas!

[mojoween]

Only the Giants winning the Super Bowl could make me happier than I am this very moment.

[Xeliou66]

Packers win it 31-28, they desperately needed that win. Rodgers looked much sharper today and the Packers clicked more on offense than they have all season, and Christian Watson had a breakout game with 3 TD receptions. I think it was a dumb move by the Cowboys to go for it instead of kicking the long FG, very strange decision that came back to bite them.

Over, and over, and over.

I've resigned myself to the fact the Rams suck this season, so I'm not terribly upset by the loss to begin with, and when that's followed by the Cowboys losing, I feel a whole lot better. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Lifetime Raiders fan here. I'm calling for McDaniels' head on a pike. The team is a mess and gets worse every week. I can't even watch them now, they're that bad. 

Glad the Cowgirls lost. At least something went right today.

That Air Force did an awesome job with the anthem before the Chargers/49ers game.

A long FG is no gimme on a cold November day at Lambeau.  What they should have done is punt and try to pin the Packers deep. 

As much fun as it was to watch Christian Watson do a back flip after his first NFL TD reception, it freaked me out.  He's been very fragile in his very short NFL career and as he was in mid-air all I could think was don't tear your ACL on the landing.

[Lamb18]

Did the ball just bounce off of someone's head? Before the punt?
