remarkably entertaining Thursday Night game (well, Friday afternoon).
Bears win 20-19 over the Bucs with Brady. Brady sacked three times.
Bears turn over ball and drop easy passes. Foles has a noodle arm. Gronk isn't what he was. And yet, the game was entertaining, I enjoyed it, and now I have had beers.
Life is good people,
How about Tom Brady not knowing what down it was on the final play?
And the old age jokes begin.
@KiwiMurph I know, I chortled. who hasn't forgotten that ...
Still, he played well. Good throws.
KC lose to the Raiders?
Dak Prescott looks gone for the year
Texans get the dead cat bounce.
Things are getting ugly in SF
We were at least competitive against the Steelers today. Our defensive line still has massive issues.
@mariner4life SF are ravaged by injuries, and Jimmy G just got benched. If he can't turn it around SF will be back on the hunt for a QB. Maybe they should try to land Cam Newton if he chooses to leave NE at season's end

@nzzp the King is a beast. He’s a pretty big unit for a RB. Him and Cook have been the pick of the running backs so far I reckon.
His game to win the knockout against the Pats last year was a thing of beauty. Ryan Tannehill stunk up the joint before making a couple of key plays, but he was an absolute meast.
Rookie contracts though, it's good to see him finally get paid.

He can fucking move for a big unit too
how good would he be at 12 if he learned to tackle

I’d just put him on the wing.

Nice bounce back game from Jimmy G today. 49ers offensive line much improved too.
Anyone else think Caleb Clarke would make an excellent running back with his running style and physique?

Newton's season is falling apart. Patriots don't have too many weapons for him to throw to.

And Jimmy is getting stronger

Brilliant Seahawks-Cardinals game.
just watching now.
Wow.
Hawks chewed up the defence all day, cannot believe they didn't just walk away with the game in regular time. Remarkable.
Well done Kyler Murray - he did well to get the Cards down the field and set up the FG. Cards win in a crazy, crazy OT. Great game to watch.

How things change. Jimmy looked awful vs Seahawks - is now re-injured and there's talk Jimmy could have played his last game as a 49er. With Kittle also injured the season is effectively over for the 49ers - time to rebuild for 2021.

Jimmy is paid too much money to only be a game manager. Their best chance for prolonged success is to draft a great QB (Seattle, KC) so that they can save money to spend on other squad players. How far down the standings are they? Might be time to tank and try to enter the Lawrence sweepstakes
It's so hard to read QBs in the NFL. Goff and Jimmy G both played in the Superbowl in the last two years, and at times looked the winner. Nick Foles actually won. And yet all three look pretty horrible this year, while rookies like Herbert and Burrow seem much more assured with far worse teams.

Both were system QBs beaten by superior QBs. Jimmy is not required to do much in that offence, however when he is called upon to throw far down the field he is often found wanting. Imagine what a QB like Rogers could do with that O line. Get a top prospect if available and grab someone in like Fitzpatrick to run the cutter while the new kid is eased in
SNF is a big game, Saints v Tampa
Tampa have had 3 possessions, 9 plays, 18 total yards. NO have more than 140 and a TD already.
@mariner4life what a blowout.

On throws 15+ yards downfield today Tom Brady was 1 of 9 for 18 yards with 2 interceptions.

that explains the very weird box score of 26 completions for only 216 yards.
Tough season to predict from here, so many close divisions
Things we know:
The NFC East is dogshit.
The Steelers will win their Division
Things that are very likely
The Chiefs will win theirs
The Patriots won't make the post season.
I feel like pretty much everything else is up for grabs

that said, he rescued 3rd and long many times today.
Good fun game, I enjoyed it
@mariner4life said in NFL Season 2020/21:
Tom Brady is a bitch!
only against young QB.
OK, he's a bitch 
also, the two interceptions he threw yesterday were abysmal. No receiver anywhere near, and went straight to the Rams defenders.
