49ers for the Superbowl this year. I hope. Last year was painful.

Not with half the team injured, no chance.

Bosa and Thomas are huge blows.

Gale Sayers has died

Magnificent player, from what I've seen of him. Got injured and was never quite as good afterwards, although still useful. Good returner too.

RIP. That's allowed in this thread, I think.

We've too many injuries, otherwise I would fancy our chances. Bosa plus others put us back in the middle of the pack. Play offs at best.

Probably the best division in the NFC too

That Cowboys onside kick was a thing of beauty, but what on Earth were the Falcons playing at?!

Think if the game was being played by British players, someone would gave booted it into touch

In the North the Packers have started nicely, in fact better than nicely on offense. The Bears look decent, Vikings need to settle down yet and the Lions are shite of course.

It’s been good to watch. Glad it’s back.

Think the Vikes are struggling from losing a lot on the DL and Danielle Hunter being injured. Sure they will pick up a bit.

Disappoingly, the Packers are looking better than last season. Bears have done just enough to win each game. I worry about when we play a decent Defence

As ever, the Packers will win the division unless Rodgers gets injured.

Bears are 2 and 0 but have played two shite teams and only just survived in each game.

I'd settle for a realistic chance of the wildcard spot with a couple of games to go. Still, at this stage of the season you never know. Could do without Sky rearranging the Villa-Liverpool game to clash with Redzone 😡

[andrew08]

You guys shouldn’t be so down on the Packers. You know Wes Edens will one day invite Rodgers to Villa Park, He’ll become a minor shareholder, next thing you know half n half Claret and Blue/ Green and Gold bobble hats are on the Holte End.

*Green and Yellow 😉

[andrew08]

I think it’s called ‘cheese gold’ on one of those colour code things which always makes me chuckle.

[dubont]

Falcons do what they do best to gift the Bears a win.

[ADVILLAFAN]

We're not very good and have a perfect record.

Not sure why the Falcons, who had gashed us on the ground, kept throwing the ball when ahead of us. They had a total meltdown.
