Willis with an absolutely clutch 51 yard pass on that last drive. Good on the RB to stop before scoring the TD as well. Defense was starting to cave in.

A few weeks ago I would have called the RB a dumbass for stopping and putting the game in the kickers hands.

Willis is going to get paid next year by a QB desperate team after what he's done in GB this year.

GB might want to hold onto him with Love looking a bit injury prone.

It's up to Willis if he wanted to stay and be a backup or go somewhere else and be a starter.

He's only 25 so I think he'll take the chance to be a starter rather than be stuck in the backup role for another year. The next 2 QB draft classes are reported to be weak helps him (any fringe QB really). He'll probably get offered more money by other teams too.

If he was a longterm vet then I think he'd stay in GB as a backup and chase a ring.

He’s under contract next year for $1.1M.

Who wins the tiebreaker for Chicago vs Minnesota? Minnesota might be in last place in the division in a few minutes.

Im concerned that all the draft picks Kwesi has made seem mediocre at best. Will Reichard is the only one who stands out.

His free agent signings have seemed solid but you can't live on that.

Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor also are pretty good picks. Jury still out on Mekhi Blackmon (injury) and Ed Ingram.

At some point they need to turn Dallas Turner loose. Look at the packers. They are starting to play their rookies a ton. Edgerrin Cooper (2nd), Javon Bullard (2nd), and Evan Williams (4th) have been playing big roles and succeeding. Yet, Dallas Turner doesn’t play more than 7 snaps total against the Lions and Rams and his snap totals per game have dropped as the season progresses.

This is also the problem with trading a bunch of picks to move up to get Turner. They don’t have a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th or 7th round pick in the upcoming draft. Current pick selections are a 1st and two 5ths. Likely a 3rd round comp pick as well. I expect this is a year that they trade back to get more draft picks.

Ivan Pace too he wasnt drafted but still should be considered "drafted", Ty Chandler as well but hes sorta meh.

His first draft you can pretty much just forget about. Probably goes down as one of the worst draft classes ever. lol

I havent been following it the Vikings that much this week but we might get to see more of Walter Rouse now that Darrisaw is out for the year whos a rookie. Also would like to see Levi Drake Rodriguez at some point this year as well.

Would not be surprised if Ed Ingram gets replaced by an IOL this offseason for someone like Trey Smith or another top of the market guard.

I actually feel bad for the Yankees at this point. And NYC?

Knicks haven't won anything in this lifetime
Jets haven't won anything in this lifetime
Rangers have won once in this lifetime
Mets haven't won anything in this lifetime

If the Giants are a New Jersey team, well, NYC hasn't done a whole lot at least in this century. But I still do get a little perverse enjoyment in watching the Yankees lose, I must admit. That game was absolutely wild last night.

Also, that game seemed to take forever last night. The pitch clock and the asinine throw-over rule haven't really sped up the games that much.

I heard more people in Japan watched the World Series than Americans. That's pretty crazy.

Have you met any Yankees fans? They're beyond obnoxious. I have no sympathy for them, at all.

Additionally, we have very different definitions of "this lifetime" lol
