Ankles are funny.....once the swelling goes down, you can walk on them. But it takes a bit to do other things football related. He looks bummed he's not playing, I'm sure he's chomping.

I hope his confidence is intact...
That was an ugly 7 qtrs of football, worse than I could've imagine given how prepped (I thought) the nest was.
I could see someone that young taking it all on himself.

This is where he shines, when the doubts are there. I have zero concerns about his confidence. I've said this before, but JJ just views this as how fun its going to be to come back and win. I guarantee he's gagging on the bit to get back in there.

I'm exactly torn on this.
On one hand, I want him to get the reps to get the poise to get past as many of the rookie tendencies as possible. On the other hand, we're sharing first place in the division right now and I'm starting to see the kid as kind of fragile...so, I want him as healed up as possible before throwing him back into the deep end.
If Wentz shows more of the same ability and poise he showed last week, I doubt JJM takes a snap until after the bye.

6:30am kick off for us out here. MB- haven’t had a drink in 45 years so it will just be coffee, maybe a muffin, the dogs and me cheering our boys on. The dogs (all 4 are Viking fans) have told me they want to see a couple of RODGERS TO RODGERS COMPLETIONS!

I like overseas games better then Monday night games thats for sure!!
RE: Vikings @ Steelers - purplefaithful - 09-27-2025
local tabloids are saying Steeler fans look to be well represented in Dublin...
Not surprising to me at least. That is a fan-base that travels well, even after years of mediocrity on the field.

Didn't Isaiah Rodgers say before the season that his career-long goal was to pick off the other Rodgers? Love to see that. 6:30 am is even better. I come from a family of farmers and my dad used to get up at 5 every morning. I'm finding myself doing the same these days. 7:30 is practically mid-day.

On its face, yes....it might seem a Guinness at 7:30 am is adventurous, but I've done this at the airport where time doesn't exist. And it is creamy and smooth, resembles coffee in color and I would give you a thumbs up to do so. I envision zero regrets in doing so, but you can't go wrong with an Irish coffee.
I will be having Baileys and coffee until I transition into Prosecco and orange juice for kickoff. A nice asiago cheese bagel and cream cheese at halftime to soak up the beverages and the long day of football ahead is attainable without a nap.
Good idea on the Baileys. That's probably a much better idea than the Jamesons I was planning on. Like an old friend used to say, why ruin two perfectly good drinks?

It'll be 7:30 am here. The Trophy wife and I are going to the Montana-Idaho late game (on ESPN 2...kickoff at 8:15 pm tonight). So it's gonna be a late football night and an early football morning. Her company is hosting a big corporate tailgate party, and she has been asked to step in for the CEO who is in Vancouver til next week. They got her a hotel down there (2 1/2 hour drive home). Both Griz and Idaho are ranked in FCS, should be a good, tough game where the crowd will make a difference. I'm queuing up for mimosas in the morning with my coffee in the hotel room.
