    I'm with @Capt. Andrew Luck and really like when they play the games early in London, so that it's a 9:30am ET game here. Though I can't imagine the people in Seattle were too happy the other week when they had to get up at 6:30am to watch the Seahawks...!

    The Seahawks game was played 7PM so it kicked off at the same time as the rest of the Lunch time games & as both teams where from the west coast that probably one of the reasons plus they also wanted to see how popular a London Night game was.

    Cam versus Rodgers would be so great.

    NFL Combined Power Rankings for the midseason are here and it's looking interesting:
    1. Los Angeles Rams
    2. New England Patriots
    3. New Orleans Saints
    4. Kansas City Chiefs
    5. Los Angeles Chargers
    6. Pittsburgh Steelers
    7. Carolina Panthers
    8. Washington Redskins
    9. Chicago Bears
    10. Minnesota Vikings
    11. Philadelphia Eagles
    12. Cincinnati Bengals
    13. Baltimore Ravens
    14. Green Bay Packers
    15. Houston Texans
    16. Seattle Seahawks
    17. Atlanta Falcons
    18. Detroit Lions
    19. Dallas Cowboys
    20. Miami Dolphins
    21. Jacksonville Jaguars
    22. Indianapolis Colts
    23. Tennessee Titans
    24. Denver Broncos
    25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    26. New York Jets
    27. Cleveland Browns
    28. Arizona Cardinals
    29. Buffalo Bills
    30. New York Giants
    31. San Francisco 49-ners
    32. Oakland Raiders

    One more win and we might escape the dreary twenties for the first time in years. Some other interesting changes:
    • Baltimore has the highest delta this week, moving from the 5th place in the league to the 13th. Looks like there was some leftover voodoo from that New Orleans loss last week.
    • Despite their loss to Philly, the Jags actually haven't moved at all. Their tank began 2 weeks ago and deservedly so. In the last few weeks they got 99 problems and they ain’t won.
    • The Saints beating the top defense and Cousins in away games in back to back weeks has given them a spot above KC.
    • The NY Giants are trying to prove they can tank with the best of them, overtaking the Cards and Bills both. Tank Bowl Thursday this week pits the 2 worst teams in the league against each other. 49-ners are running a tanking gauntlet by going vs Oakland and then the Giants in the wake of their Arizona loss. If they succeed, they could clinch the number 1 pick.
    • Worst division in the league is the AFC South (yay). Though if you exclude the Pats, the worst would be the AFC East by a large margin.
    • The division with the most parity is the NFC North where most teams are closely clumped together with the Lions being a slight outlier. Despite this, their ceiling seems a lot higher than their ranking might imply. The AFC South is hot on their heels but mostly because we all suck.
    • Sleepers are the Chargers and the Redskins. Rivers is having an MVP season and with the Chargers having the easiest schedule this season it is guaranteed they will take a WC berth. Redskins are a top 10 team that doesn't feel like a top 10 team... yet here we are. Someone has to win the division and with the Eagles having their Super Bowl hangover this is the year for the Skins to do it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend.
    It seems we f*cking suck again.



    Golden Tate just got traded to the Eagles. He was one of the chief playmakers on the Lions offense. Detroit receives a third round pick from the trade.

    Adding to this, apparently only two teams - the Bears and the Rams - currently have a top 10 offense and a top 10 defense both:

    Los Angeles Rams
    Offensive Yards per Game: 443 (2)
    Offensive Points per Game: 33.0 (3)

    Defensive Yards per Game: 331 (8)
    Defensive Points per Game: 19.4 (6)

    Chicago Bears
    Offensive Yards per Game: 383 (10)
    Offensive Points per Game: 27.7 (9)

    Defensive Yards per Game: 330 (7)
    Defensive Points per Game: 20.6 (8)

    We used to be on this list, but then we decided to crash and burn in glorious style this week.

    He's a wide receiver, though. Sure - there's Golladay who I'm really starting to love - but it won't be the same. Tate will be missed.
    Collins fumbles a lot more than I'm comfortable with, but he manages to make plays pretty far and pretty well. On the other hand, it's a 7th round pick for a draft that's not even next year. I wouldn't undersell this move. This is a good, useful player. The Packers just didn't use him right and we're basically getting him for free. He has a chance to be legitimate impact player for us in our playoff push, maybe even a chance at becoming our main running back.

    Most Packer fans thought very highly of him until a few days ago. He can run between the tackles and he's elusive in the open field, and most importantly - he has four fumbles in four seasons compared to Collins having nine in three. We'll see where this takes us and what happens with Ty in the end, but I'm optimistic about the move.

    I don't like this kind of hope. It's backed by statistics.

    Not gonna lie, though, it feels AMAZING having a QB that could possibly be more than league average for once. ^^

    Don't let this trade deadline craze distract you from the return of Nathan Peterman.



    Or the fact that the Thursday Night garbage game somehow got even worse. San Francisco playing Tank Commander against the Raiders.
