Prediction Winner for Week 9 goes to @Iggles25 for predicting a Chargers win 27-23. This is his third time correctly predicting the score for the season so I'm just going to assume at this point he's somehow cheating.

Bonus Prediction Winners:

@BigEFly Jalen Hurts pass completion over the middle (!)

@FranklinFldEBUpper A kicker will miss a PAT

@Iggles25 Eagles D forces two turnovers (I'm iffy on awarding this one but it's literally called "Turnover on downs" so I guess I have to)

@SB52 Herbert 350+ yards

The Canadian national lottery has a $41M jackpot tomorrow night; can you give me 7 numbers between 1-50?  I'd like to retire later this week. 

6 16 17 25 28 34 41

Ruggs doesn’t really count as a "bad” pick against the GM.  He wasn’t a consensus character concern guy.

Here's the thing with Dickerson, those reports that they had him rated as a top 20 pick if not for injury concerns seem pretty credible, now that we've seen him in action

He basically missed the pre-season, moved from center in college to LG, and after a couple weeks, has hit the ground running.

Mailata, Dickerson and Driscoll is a pretty good start for an OL rebuild, Herbig is looking better after losing weight.

Lane is only 31, if his ankle is OK and his head is on straight, he should have 3-4 top seasons left in him as the grey beard on the line.

No one ever questioned dickerson’s talent. Everyone believed if he didn’t have like 4 season ending injuries that he would’ve been a first round talent. The issue is and still is will he hold up. He’s played 5 games. Get back to me in tow more seasons if he stays healthy. If he does that’s awesome. However if he has some of the same type of injuries pop up it’s the exact reason teams skipped on him until 37.

I would suspect that Rodgers is aggressively antivax and just went looking deep into the fine print with his agent and a lawyer for one of the innumerable obscure allergies that contraindicate the vaccine.

Right.  Easiest way to "bust him" would be to find out what toothpaste he uses or if there is a pic of his toothpaste (possibly in his locker)  prior to all this nonsense coming out.  The vast majority of toothpastes  contain propylene glycol. 

Driscoll is a good start for an OL rebuild?

Whats the most consecutive snaps he’s ever played without getting hurt OR getting trucked?  3?

If we still care about opposing teams’ injured corners.

True.   Arnette did.   His chickens coming home to roost is fitting.

Driscoll hasn't been able to stay on the field. He does look promising. Herbig has been a decent spot starter.  I still think they need to add depth with a day one or 2 pick at the IOL.   Dickerson looks to be an above average starter.  I am not sure either Herbig or Driscoll will be the same.  Assuming Kelce retires, I would much rather the team have another viable starter in the mix for G/C.  I think 3-4 seasons from Lane is optimistic.

I know others loved him on here cause if his speed and big play ability. I liked him but i much preferred lamb in that draft. I thought he was the best WR in that draft. 

Pretty amazing that lamb and Jefferson have identical yards receiving and tds on the year so far 

Lamb: 41 receptions 632 yards (15.4 yards per reception) and 4 tds (long 49 yards) 

jefferson: 46 receptions 632 yards (13.7 yards per reception) and 4 tds (long 50 yards)

interesting question is if you could pick either one today which would you choose? I probably lean Jefferson but i really love lamb if he didn’t play for Dallas

Nope.  We are a power running team now.  Passing is just a fad in the league.  It won't last.

Lamb and Jefferson were the 2 WRs I most wanted to avoid in round 1.  So there’s that.

Well, maybe. Then again, the J & J vaccine doesn't contain propylene glycol.

I mean losing surtain is a big loss. I’d argue he was playing better than darby and fuller. That said i thought Denver’s corners played way better than at any other point in the season.

Very.  But hey, this is from the same guy who said that older players don't get injured more frequently.  Who could have seen Peters breaking down year after year and have expected to happen again?  Or who could have expected that Brooks would go down this year?  That was such a surprise!  Graham getting hurt?  Never could have expected that.  Desean last year?  Just so unexpected.

Could be worse people on here loved Denzel mims enough to take him at 20. He’s been worse than reagor.

She apparently uses clay for all sorts of things, and eats it as part of a detoxification diet.

I’ve said this before but I wouldn’t be surprised if those two are in some sort of cult.

And if he bothered to research it (as he claimed) he would know that he would have a better chance of contracting Covid AND getting a blood clot from Covid then getting one from the J & J vaccine.
