TNF Discussion: Vikings at Rams - Week 8

[Mike FF Today 703]

Puka and Cooper Kupp expected to play. It remains to be seen if Puka is limited or not...

 

[HTH 82]

I'm leaving him on my bench. Starting Amari Cooper and Mooney.

 

[polecatt 466]

Good!

Puka can't get healthy fast enough for my team

Are You Starting Him?

[nobody 2,446]

Reeder out.  I wonder if my guy Omar Speights will finally get a shot.

The jury is still out on that one...

I'll probably make a final call about 8pm est or so.

If they say he's starting, probably so.

I'm set at my 2 RB spots, my 2 WRs, but my flex is up in the air. He would lock it down

[HTH 82]

OK

Please update here at 8 if you can.

He's active. The Q has been removed from his name.

He's been moved to the flex spot of my starting line up. Chris Olave is moved to the bench.

[Mike FF Today 703]

First two passes go to Nacua. Dropped the first one. Caught the 2nd.

[Gratefulegg1973 255]

Playing against JJ and Williams.

I started Kupp.  

Awesome start to the week.

Ditto except Stafford and Williams. Hopefully he looks for Kupp some on this drive.

[Mike FF Today 703]

So far, no real limitations for Puka...

 

[polecatt 466]

Kyren Williams scores TD for the 10th straight game!

 

[Gratefulegg1973 255]

Well it's obvious McVie and Puca are having an affair, and Kupp slept with Staffords wife

[polecatt 466]

TD Cooper Kupp

[Hardcore troubadour 14,008]

We need to start drafting refs.  Point per flag, points for yardage assessed , 5 points for wiping out a td

[RareN64Dream 18]

14 to 14. 3 minutes or so, left in 2nd. False start on Vikings; most likely due to crowd noise. Now 3rd and 25, after Darnold threw the ball away to avoid a sack.

[Law 233]

Refs working hard!

You're either onto something, or on something! 

[nobody 2,446]

Kyren is 4 yards down field before anyone touches him every time he touches the ball.

They could just run every down if they want.

[nobody 2,446]

That pick by Stafford had to be a miscommunication on the route somehow. That throw makes no sense otherwise. 

Looks like Stafford was expecting a corner route and the guy flattened it out and ran an old fashioned out route.

He's well on his way to surpassing the century mark

[kutulu 1,600]

Started PN in the flex spot but it wasn't a tough decision. Just lost Aiyuk. Benched McLaughlin in Trevor oh PNuk 

[polecatt 466]

Justin Jefferson, goes over 100 yds with a ridiculous catch!

I know they said it was a catch, but I don't think it would've held up. 

[nobody 2,446]

Stafford has a long one to atwell if he just throws it 2 yards farther.

[Chickie 71]

Flores has taken Kupp out of the game and left everyone else open. 
 

[gcmmidwest 129]

Yall do realize that Vikings are shadowing him with their best corner and when they are not shadowing him they are using bracketed coverage. Stafford is doing what a good QB is supposed to do and throwing to the guys who are single covered. Eventually that is going to happen to Puka and then Kupp will get easier targets too. 

 

[easilyscan 694]

Have a drink on me if you started Stafford tonight.

[Law 233]

Is Minny coaching this bad or is LAR's that good? The Viking offense basically stopped after the first two drives while the Rams kept on scoring.

[nobody 2,446]

Geez.  Refs called every ticky tack call all game and somehow missed an obvious facemask.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,008]

Unreal. Two refs looking right at that facemask both a few yards away. Darnolds head spun like Linda Blair. What a joke.   Both those refs should be fired tonight.  Nice job NFL

[Super Cubs 149]

I got tired of waiting on Puka to return in my keeper. So I traded him Tuesday morning before there was any new news of him returning.  Then the news was maybe next week. This morning I see he has 7 catches and 100+ yards. 

[Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 50]

I put Puka in just before gametime.  He is looking great.  Now my WR guns are back to double barrell with St. Brown and Puka.  Got a few other backups but Puka looked great Thursday night.  LAR are going to need him if Kupp is expected to last.  Robinson even grabbed a TD with the guns blazin' in LAR offense.

Puka     

Ground game:  Mixon, Kamara, Achane, Hubbard (and Brooks), Mostert, Guerendo, Akers

 

 

[Ramrock 16]

All this talk about that missed call last night takes away some of the joy of that win.

I put him in at the last minute and glad I did!!

The NFL has done nothing to improve officiating.

Why should they,   The money keeps rolling in.

Nope, but they have done a lot to make it worse...
