Nice to take a stress break from Viking's football and relax with checking out some around-the-league action. The perfect Redzone Channel Sunday, especially with it supposed to be rainy here:

Some interesting matchups:

  • Chicago at Atlanta: please play Michael Penix, otherwise its a complete walk for Chicago and the returning Caleb Williams.

  • Carolina at Philly: Are the Panthers good and conversely, how bad are the Eagles really?

  • Chargers at KC: fire sale in LA with another loss? Jim Harbaugh gonzo?

  • Buffalo at Las Vegas: should be a shootout, a fun one to watch.

  • Dallas at Green Bay: the only time I'll be rooting for Dallas.

  • Washington at San Fran: hoping for an upset here, but I think the 49ers might roll.

First off, Redzone is truly a gem and I cannot get enough...crack for NFL fans and Fantasy Football watchers.

For some reason, I don't have the stress and I actually get a little irritated that they don't play every week. lol. I just want to watch my team week-in-and-week-out. 😀

I have stress, but still want to watch them every week.

Interesting to see some of these higher drafted RBs struggling (Jeanty, Henderson, etc.) a bit....

Jeanty and Henderson have been disappointments, there is no sugarcoating it. And boy was I all in for a trade-down for Treyvon.

I was right about the need for a Rb, just the wrong draft year lol.

Listen, I've been wrong plenty but I was never enamored with that year's class, including Jeanty. I did like RJ Harvey.

I have no idea where Panthers/Eagles will rank in wins when the dust settles...

ATL is sneaky good and will give plenty of teams a good Sunday battle. Love Bijan and Penix surprises me a lot of the time - but he's glass.

I am strongly feeling an upset in Vegas this week. Good move by Buffalo keeping the team out west all week???

SF is the media darling for sure. That game in Mex vs Vikings could have some big ramifications for seeding, even that early in the season

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

This one has me a little confused so far this season. Love is definitely the better back when out there, but his ankles have been giving him fits. He has received very little action, either due to his ankles or as a result to what LaFleur is saying about the blocking. Love has been fairly useless so far in this offense, but I'm curious if they can get it figured out, because he truly is a blue chipper, IMO.

Yeah, I liked him as a prospect way more than Jeanty. When the HC starts pointing out faults, you know he's underperforming.

Anyone else remember the era when you could pretty much plug and play a good rook Rb?

Great, at least there's a chance for an upset now with Atlanta and Chicago:

The Bears got 800 yards out of Monongai just last year. And he was taken in the 7th round.
