This is kinda surreal watching TB12 in a different uniform. Like i recognize the line calls, but he 'looks' different in that TB uni.

Like an awesome ex GF that went elsewhere and decided to show off her new bf a lot on social media and act like things are awesome, but Arians will never be BB.

I know most of you are watching Tampa Bay, but did Chris Spielman just say, "Chris 'circle jerk' McKinnon" in the 49ers-Cardinals game?!?

I hope Kittle is okay.
Horrible throw from Jimmy under no pressure caused the injury. It's only been a half, but this is the same guy that Shannahan handcuffed in the playoffs last year - not seeing any improvement. I know he's down the WRs, but that doesn't change the pocket presence or iffy accuracy. He's been fine, but they need more than fine.

Someone should tell Tyrod Taylor that Ekeler is a really good pass catcher. He's a check down weapon and Taylor would rather scramble then throw to covered receiver.

Well as long as they can run the ball like they do, Jimmy will be fine. I do agree that he should be better.

Hard to believe the Chargers passed on Cam.
They drafted Herbert, so I guess maybe they feel like, they need a while to get him ready, so they're softening the ground by playing a terrible QB so he can have zero expectations or pressure when he takes over?

49ers just got bailed out with a DPI when Jimmy G threw into quadruple coverage.
Jimmy did do a great job avoiding a sack.

Edit - it was intercepted

You have to give Bill O'Brien credit for getting rid of Hopkins for a bag of doughnuts. Clearly he peaked years ago.

Why on earth did Houston trade him for David Johnson?
Because Hopkins’s contract is going to be terrible in 3 years, and you can’t carry an overpaid WR when you’re paying market rate for a top-10 QB and expect to build a competitive roster around them.

I’m assuming that they decided that keeping Hopkins and not paying him was untenable.
