Week 9 Game Thread

Al is fine. A bit overrated, but he has called some iconic Boston sports games. The ‘86 ALCS, Malcolm Butler, and of course the butt fumble.
Is old friend Bill Simmons’s “Matt lulls the opposition to sleep Canada” theory going to hit again?
Levis isn’t as talented as Trevor Lawrence, but watching him is like watching Lawrence two years ago — there are lots of mistakes, and the results aren’t there yet as a result, but the raw material is all there, as is a sense of how to work with it.
Herbie is the best color guy in the biz. Just so knowledgeable about the game.
Mike Vrabel is the ultimate mid coach.
He'll get you 6 wins, but he doesn't have what it takes to really succeed.

I guess, man. Rookie qb, bunch of oline injuries tonight. His GM traded AJ Brown (don’t know if he approved).
I think he’s pretty good.
Couldn't believe the announcers didn't notice he was hurt like right when the play happened. Dude went limp.
Hoping, as shitty as it sounds, just a concussion and knocked him out and it's all precautionary.

he had absolutely loaded teams in a bad division then would get to the playoffs and turtle his way into losses. He's good at motivating I guess, but he's way too conservative.
Lost to Mahomes and Burrow, right? Seems good when your guy is Tannehill.
edit: also beat Brady and Lamar both on the road, iirc
He very notoriously did not approve.

his team came off a 1st round bye and scored 16 offensive points in a loss in 2021
In 2020 they scored 13 points in a loss (10 in the first quarter then they turned the engine off and hoped to ride it out).
He had an okay 1st playoff run winning 2 games, but the team underachieved the next two in large part because he didn't play to win. the re-set was probably good for him, otherwise we'd be talking about whether he was a DC candidate since he'd be on the hot seat much more than he is.
He's not terrible, but he's exactly the kind of coach you think of when you're thinking about guys who can win you some games, but not be real contenders.
If they’d only hired Matt US they’d have had a full OC instead of 0.73 of one
Having that many one score wins since last year, second to….Minny, screams inflated record. They’ve been outscored by 30 points yet are 5-3.
Levis looks like Mac with a new spec sheet. 3" taller and a canon arm. His footwork looked a bit iffy. Saw a couple Mac specials off the back foot.
yeah he really makes a ton of the same moves/throws as Mac, but with more success because of the arm.
Burks alert and moving after that scary few minutes last night.
