I think Wentz was efficient, in control and overall played well - the offense looked the better 4 it too
Turner flashed out there some today
Greenard is really a playa! 
Hope Rogers kept those balls from today
Mason really is a #1 rb on this team
Nobody ever let me forget how important #71 is
Good to see TJH catching passes and not chipping edges and DL
Kudos to Harry for making a play with that tip 
62 yarder from Reichard? Where were you in 98!?

Anyone hear what happened with Donovan Jackson?? We really need to get some continuity going for the OL

I see this now...

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The offense looked better with Wentz? He did what he needed to do. Be a good back up QB. This Cincy team is hot garbage. Also, guessing Darrisaw made the biggest impact.

No doubt having 71 back was huge...D held-up their end, running game worked and Wentz contributed too. He had a nice and efficient game. 

What a league; Panthers win 30/0 over ATL today and Browns beat Pack. 

I'm starting to wonder how bad Dallas may be in 25?

Jackson ended up with a bloody nose, he tripped and his helmet shifted so I was thinking that was when it happened. Having Darrisaw, Smith and Van Ginkel back was huge. Rodgers had a major impact on the game.

Its so unpredictable the first half of a NFL season. Penix and ATL looked horrible. Drake Maye is on a bad football team. Hampton and Jeanty averaged 3.7 yards a carry yesterday. Washington cruises without Jayden Daniels. Nix throws for 153 yards. Its such a week to week deal. New Orleans is hot garbage, fans should have sued for allowing Spencer Rattler to be your starting QB...they are obviously tanking for that top pick. 

I forget he's only started 6 games....benched for Kirko:

"This was the sixth start of Michael Penix Jr.'s career and it was definitely his ugliest. The Falcons QB completed just 50% of his passes on an erratic day where he threw two interceptions, including a pick six. Things got so bad that he was benched in the fourth quarter. It wasn't just Penix, though, it was an ugly all-around performance for the Falcons offense. To add insult to injury, John Parker Romo missed two field goals and the Falcons ended up getting shut out for the first time since 2021. The Falcons lost this game by 30 points despite outgaining the Panthers by more than 100 yards. That pretty much sums up how things went for Atlanta on Sunday."

Yep, just a couple days after I put Penix on my fantasy team to replace JJM as QB2. Gotta love fantasy. Maybe I'll trade for Jordan Love to guarantee his demise. No matter, Mason, Reichard and the Vikings DST ensured a blow out victory for the Flamin' Groovies. In my league, a good DST score is double digits. A great one is anything over 15. Vikings DST scored 29 points yesterday. LOL.
