which offense is worse?
 
(to be fair, which defense is better, too)

Is it just me or was Jim Nantz a LOT more excited about Flacco throwing a pick six than when Peyton did it?
You are right. They are really really dreading the possibility that Manning might be done. They won't know what to do, especially at CBS

Double down on hoping Brady and the Pats stay as relevant for as long as possible and Luck and Indy manage to mount a credible challenge to them.

So is Tennessee that good or Tampa that bad?  Or a combination of both?
 
Having watched him from close proximity, I can tell you one good authority that Mariota is this good. And I suspect Winston is not as bad as he appears, but really... he's been extremely overrated...

Okay CBS, I think we've seen enough of the terrible Raiders.  Switch it over to DEN-BAL, please.

It was like the difference between Fred Cusick announcing that the Stastny brothers had worked a 2 on 1 into the back of the net and a Janney to Neely pass for a Bruins score.

This is really easy from a game plan standpoint for Baltimore. You have a great punter and very good kicker. You are trailing by 3 with > quarter left. You run the ball, and when you have to throw, you keep Flaxco out of the middle of the field.

It's funny how we all listened to the conventional wisdom about Cincinnati falling off a cliff this year, and therefore didn't consider them in our survivor leagues.

Just sort of a weird one to use this week on the road.

If this shows me what the denver offense can be like this year then I'm happy.
That December game at Pittsburgh should be a hoot.
