College basketball-level clock management and bungling down the stretch here. Borderline unforgivable. Wow, LMAO

Is Penix ever going to stay healthy?

Man, I would have had issues pulling the trigger for him at 8 overall...

3 - #8 overall picks on that offense; Bijan, Penix, Pitts.

All I can say about around the NFL after yesterday is, I will not bet on Justin Herbert again this year. My God he's terrible. All I needed was for him not to turn it over twice in the last 8 minutes allowing Denver to somehow overcome my 10.5 point cushion. 😡🤮

When fans show up on Viking social media with these derp takes about trading for him I just throw up in my mouth. Guessing the Chargers would be thrilled to unload this 50 mil/year disaster.

My goodness, what happened to the Bears? Yes, Bagent wasn't good, but their D was also bad. And what was with the Packers Unis, they looked awful. Like an old TV tube going out.

Of course the game is easier when the refs let this type of holding go

Source: Packers lose DT Javon Hargrave for season to torn Achilles


GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For the second time in as many games, the Green Bay Packers lost a defensive player to a season-ending torn Achilles. This time, it's veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that tests on Monday confirmed that Hargrave suffered the same fate as linebacker Edgerrin Cooper did a week earlier.

Hargrave was injured in the final minutes of Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. At the end of a pass rush move, he came up hopping and couldn't put any weight on his right leg. He was eventually carted off the field.

The Packers signed the 33-year-old Hargrave to a two-year, $23 million contract in free agency this offseason. It included a $10.5 million signing bonus. Hargrave played in four of the first five games this season, missing Week 2 against the New York Jets because of a knee injury and a concussion. While he did not start any of the games, he played 123 defensive snaps and was credited with four tackles.

There's no way this guy plays in October and I said as much way back when they forecast he'd be back by Week 6, lol. 🙄 Week 9 or 10 is way more likely and he'll come back slowly.
