Just to go you how weird the NFL is.

3:20 left in the 1st Quarter, the Lions just forced a FG attempt in a 0-0 game.

There's no way in hell the Bears are winning this game.

I don't know which game is worse.
Bears-Giants or Broncos-Bengals

QB stats are really starting to baffle me. They don't make sense anymore.
They don't because the rules have made it so much easier to rack them up.

It used to be that DBs couldn't grab receivers. Now, they can't even blow them up if they catch the ball.

What it really results in is a slap fight for contested passes because if you hit them, it is a penalty.

Passing statistics are way up and accuracy is really only a consideration if it gets low. Don't praise one that gets very high.

Look at Dak Prescott. He had an 85% completion rate. That used to be elite. Now it is common place if things break right.

I don't even think that there is a popular passer metric that makes much sense any more.

You are such a hater.

Of course all the Giants need to do is stop the Bears running game and they can't do it.
