Gross choices for New England by the networks. Why do we want to see bad to mediocre games just because they're in the AFC or the Giants? I'd much rather see Houston at Green Bay over Tennessee at Buffalo and the same for Detroit at Minnesota instead of Philadelphia at the Giants.

I understand that. That doesn't change the fact that that game will probably suck and there are better options for people that like football.

Two Monday night games. . . .again. What a darn waste to throw Arizona Chargers on Monday night and not Sunday afternoon.

There is a lot of Giants fans here from when the Pats sucked and were blacked out.

Like it or not, an NFC East Matchup of PHI/NYG is gonna be televised here. Ratings will dwarf the other options.

A bit confused by the love Bo Nix seems to be getting in the press. Strikes me as thoroughly underwhelming, and that was somewhat confirmed reading this:

Will Bo Nix begin hitting his targets?
Nick Kosmider’s report explains that Nix’s downfield accuracy is his biggest concern. On passes five or more yards downfield, his overall completion percentage (41.1) is 13.7 percent below expected, worst among all qualified passers, per TruMedia. We shouldn’t be surprised; Nix rarely threw downfield in college, with his average pass travelling 6.3 air yards, ranking 119th of 125 FBS quarterbacks in 2023 per ESPN Stats & Info.
The Saints defense is awful, so maybe this will be a breakout game for Nix. If not, though, really don't see him as having been worth his draft slot.

A little surprised the Broncos aren’t attempting a 58-yard FG indoors.

lol, Kirk waxing poetic about Bo Nix's ability to hit a wide open slant 8 yards away when his feet are set.

He doesn’t even hit throws on time.

‘He can even run!’ Dude has to thread those hitches/sit downs on time, instead he ate the ball and flushed out of the pocket.

Did the reference to Bo Nix’s “adoptive brother” strike anyone else as weird? Isn’t he just his brother?

he give me tebow vibes but we are winning but i think peyton has a man crush on him the scary part is IF nix does not turn the ball over and Denver Front 7 keeps this up we might be the reason Hou or the Ravens go to the super bowl we match up well with anyone in the AFC but Hou

Remember the heady time after week 2 when the Saints were 2-0 and averaging 45 points?

First 2 games: 91 points
Last 5 games: 86 points

They beat Dallas by 25 and lost to Denver by 23.

WTF.

The players hate Dennis Allen. It's a toxic situation and there is no hope it will get better due to injuries. Allen has never been good. But now it's going to get ugly.
