  1. It’s a good Sunday, as my youngest son is home for fall break. He’s the only other immediate family member who watches football. I’m trying out a Tik Tok trend. It’s a version of the French Dip but you include a jar of pepperocini peppers in the slow cooker with your roast. 
     

    Let’s see those eats!

    I have to do cooking for the week anyway. Probably a tagine of some sort with the fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions and Moroccan sausages I found at Eastern Market yesterday. Some California wraps and some Sichuan green beans, most likely.

    Carne Asada street tacos on corn tortillias with homemade pico and guac.  Black beans as the side.  When I put the flank steak on the grill this evening, it will be have been marinating for near 24 hours.

    I only cook like this for non-1pm games. 

    That all sounds amazing.

    Gyros are criminally underrated. Gyros and Banh mi - hard to beat! 

    Agree. Haven’t made homemade bahn mi but there’s a place nearby called Viet Sub that makes great ones. They make these fresh crusty baguettes to serve them on. Delicious.

    I know traditionally they are made with lamb, but I prefer gyros with beef or chicken.  Yes, they are delicious.

    Yeah, I just use shaved ribeye like you’d normally use for Philly steaks.

    I was trying to do multi view also but I just figured out it doesn't work on a mobile device (Tablet).  You have to have a smart TV with that function.

     

    Also, some of those other games I found by using the search bar.  They're not all listed under the YouTube home screen.

    Are you using a custom live guide with those channels, not selected? Just spitballing.

    Matt Ryan had a good debut performance (albeit on 13 attempts and carried by Michael Turner), then the next week followed it up with 13/33 (39%), 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 158 yards.  Newton followed up his electric debut game with a 3 INT game.  

    Look, maybe Bryce Young isn't the answer.  I think he is, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    However, regardless of how he ends up, I feel as if some of you are wildly reacting to a "bad" Week 1 performance from him. Rookie QBs making their debut typically don't play well unless they have superb athleticism that they can rely on and that the play-caller can build around off jump.  Young can make plays outside of the pocket, obviously, but he largely lives and dies by making plays in the pocket.  Today he gave us plenty of reason to think that his football IQ is as good as advertised.  He was a willing and aggressive passer.  Even on his INTs, I'd argue he was making the right reads or at least we can see what he saw, he just didn't account for Bates breaking on the ball as fast as he did.  Stuff like that improves with times.  There is a reason rookie QBs tend to throw picks early in their career.

    Again maybe Young isn't our savior but for a QB making his debut?  He didn't have a game out of the ordinary.  When you ask a rookie QB to throw 38 times with Adam Thielen as their best WR, well it probably won't lead to pretty numbers.

    Thank you
