So that tackle by Witherspoon....totally lowered his head and led with his crown. It just hit into the RBs chest so....no flag.

Update from the stadium, a TSwift ad was just soundly booed.

Also, Negan is here somewhere.

I watched most of the Eagles-Commanders game, and that was pretty good. Even though Rivera cheesed it at the end of regulation.
I did not. I think there's a massive issue with the random nature of officiating, and I don't know how to fix it.

Call fewer penalties. The refs all act like they're trying to pass a test rather than managing the game. There's a reason the playoffs are better with the more elite refs and much fewer penalties.

I 100% agree in theory, but there needs to be some acknowledgment of fouls when they impact the play.

I kinda enjoy Drew Lock... he may not be 100% sure what the play is, he probably can't figure out what the defense is doing, but.... fuck it, gonna wing it 120 MPH and see what happens

Eli may be the least charismatic person alive. Why do I have to see him in commercials and on halftime shows?

Just curious. If BB should be on the hot seat for being mediocre the last few years (after the greatest run in NFL history), given his age as well, why isn't Pete Carroll in the same situation?

Last 3 seasons: 7-10, 9-8, 2-1 (18-19), 0-1 in the playoffs, and he's 72 (a half year older than BB).
Because Pete was right to dump his future Hall of Fame QB. ;)

I get that it’s subjective so I can’t say you’re wrong but I find Eli to be very funny. He is super dry with his mocking of the extremely type A Peyton. Like Eli is in on some secret with you about what a dork Peyton is and takes pleasure in how easy he can get him worked up.

Because he beat the Patriots. People like that sort of thing.
Believe it or not like 99% of the population couldn't care less about how anything affects the Patriots.

That's fair. Maybe he's better on this broadcast and I admit I haven't watched it. But his perfomances in the Lays commercials, the Corona commercials, and when I've seen him interviewed make me cringe.

Why don’t teams take the points. Make it make sense.

Not to mention running a dumbass rollout to your backup RB.

Have I ever told you guys how much disdain I have for ESPN’s production. The flag notification and down and distance being so similar is such bad design.

Usually I'd agree with you but Pete rarely takes chances like that, so I was happy to see that.
Giants are inept so it’s a moot point. Can’t pass-pro at all right now. Jones under the gun every pass. Think they need to try more designed runs just to get him moving.
