Second blowout in a row on MNF. Next week should be good, but NBC really gets the best games. No idea why the Bears and Giants are on MNF twice this season.

Well Eli just flipped off the camera. Maybe the live broadcast not such a great idea.

The Eagles suck. The line is pretty bad, the QB is bad, only thing that looks decent in the WR.

Looks like Hurts is gonna have the 2nd best CMP% of his career tonight (he's currently at 59%)

Why are apostrophes so fucking difficult for so many people?
I get a thousand apostrophes in a row correct and does anyone say “Hey , Lucky, sick apostrophe game!” no, I get no respect. But I mess up one apostrophes in a game thread at 11:30 pm and here comes Captain Sunshine to take me to task. You’re a rascal, Bergs.

Listen, it was a non-Red Sox game night, so the number of pedantic assholes logged in was perilously low. Someone had to do it.

This has been the case pretty much since MNF was moved off of ABC and to ESPN. With SNF going to NBC, that game is on a far bigger network and will be seen by more people, so it's pretty much consistently given one of the best games of the week while MNF seems to just get random games.

They have basically flipped spots wth the old SNF on espn back in the 1990s/early aughts. That old espn Sunday night game was a lot of “bleh” matchups with only the occasional blockbuster matchup. That’s what MNF is now.

Who was the third in the booth (pbp)? I remember Paul McGuire and Theisman. Those matchups were bad yet I loved SNF back then (not as much as the NBC one currently).

Mike Patrick was PBP in those booths I think.

That’s correct per google image. God my uncle(RIP) hated Theisman so much it made me like him. I don’t know why I am the way I am. To this day if I hear Theisman’s voice I smile.

I hate to say it but I enjoy the Manning brothers. I like the guests, and I learn things. Plus Peyton getting annoyed at poor play is funny.
