This. Passing in this situation isn't the issue, Eli not taking the sack was the killer.

yup.

It was a strange strange game last night. It felt like the Giants were going to steal the game from the Cowboys, but in reality the Cowboys stole the game from the Giants. In the end, it feels like the better team won last night.

LOL at the Mariota vs Winston game...

wow..

Eli Manning told Jennings not to score on the 1st 2 plays of that fateful drive last night.

just wow.

now you know why I say 1.5 months till Thunder basketball

IMO Eli is one of the most overrated players ever. If his name was Eli Smith he wouldn't have gotten the chances Eli Manning got.

The man's won 2 Super Bowls, one of which was over arguably one of the best teams in NFL history.

I don't think I have ever seen these all black SF 49rs jerseys... I kind of like em but...

I don't know, I tend to agree with stever. He spent way too many years with completion percentages under 60%, while the rest of the league was greatly benefiting from the rule changes making it easier to pass the ball. I'm not going to complain about Eli because 2 super bowls is 2 super bowls, but he probably was overrated

49ers look pretty good tonight. better than I expected.

Falcons got a new head coach, but retained the porous O-Line. The fact that the Eagles didn't win the game I think speaks more to Chip Kelly's philosophy. ATL is a mediocre team at best, the fact that Philly ran 68 plays and could outscore the Falcons doesn't bode well.

Also, the refs were flag happy in the 1st MNF game.

team that I think could unravel is the Colts....

They have almost a must win type game on Monday vs the Jets. lose there and 0-2 heading into a game @ Tennessee that looks a lot tougher now than 48 hours ago. Then an easy one vs Jacksonville before Thursday night game @ Houston. I wouldn't want to be 1-3 heading into that. Oh and after that, Mr Brady is waiting to kick their butt.

Even if they win the division, they're going to be like normal worst division champ and have to be on the road for rounds 2 and 3.

wow what a win for the Broncos. or more like it.... what a loss by the Chiefs.

and for the Chiefs- who do they have next? Green Bay in Green Bay.

Dat ending was crazy considering how the beginning went...

from ESPN:
This is the 1st time that a team won in regulation after trailing by 7+ pts in final minute since Raiders beat Bengals in Week 11, 2009.

just looking ahead for Broncos....
next 4 games- @ Detroit, Minnesota, @ Oakland, and @ Cleveland. then bye.

they could easily be 5-1 or 6-0 heading into the bye.

Peyton's arm looked serviable last night. In the 2nd half he threw one or two deep balls but mostly relied on his accuracy and ability to manipulate to the defense to move the ball down the field. The Broncos are still throwing the ball a lot for a team that was supposed to be looking for a more balanced approach.

But as the temperature starts to drop, DB are simply going to let WR go free beyond 15 yds and start squatting on the underneath stuff IMO.

well looking at the schedule- the road games in Nov/Dec-
Nov 8 @ Indianapolis(dome)
Nov 22 @ Chicago
Dec 6 @ San Diego
Dec 20 @ Pittsburgh

got 6 home games after the bye.

The schedule is real back loaded though. Green Bay, KC, New England, Cincy, and San Diego 5 of the 6 home games in Nov/Dec/Jan. Only easy one Oakland.

just saw- Romo Fractured left clavicle.

Extra Point rules having their impact.
2014- 8 missed extra points all season long
2015- 9 missed extra points 1st 2 weeks of season

lol, Dolphins fans are on suicide watch. Thank God I never had big expectations for this team.
