Mr. Scot

Also, during the game this happened... That's number 26 if you're keeping count.

Jack Del Rio

Said the exact same thing…

Quite the exchange

I probably got the date wrong.

If Fields is still walking by the time this game is over...

I could get behind this...

Sooo Lady Cowboy Fan was looking at some of the crappy games coming up on the Thursday Night Football schedule when all of a sudden she yells out "OH MY GOD!!! ON OCTOBER 30TH, ITS THE FALCONS...AND THE PANTHERS!" before descending into a fit of near maniacal laughter I love my wife...I really do

What do they call one of these things where somebody gets in the end zone?

NFL sent me an alert that the Bears and Commanders were coming back from halftime. I responded "Thanks for the warning."

What happened to Matt Rhule leading us to the playoffs?

So when Lady Cowboy Fan heard Al Michaels say "Herford", she thought he was saying "pervert" and proceeded to ask me if Deshaun Watson was at the game

Holy sh-t... POINTS!!!

Al Michaels sounds like he's ready to kick a baby seal... And in the middle of it all they choose to replay a highlight of the Panthers losing This Thursday night football on Amazon Prime thing is just friggin' great!

Okay, so is anybody brave enough to watch Commanders - Bears tonight, or are you still suffering PTSD from last week's Thursday night game?

Which is funny when you remember that he was hired because of his skills as a "program builder".

Speaking of Robbie... That remind anyone else of the kind of things players typically say right before they get traded?

I've probably said it a dozen times, but my biggest issue with Tepper is his tendency to trust the wrong people.

That's probably fair. I think it was our resident shogun who suggested more wins might have just gotten us more Rhule, and hence more suffering, before leading to the same eventual result.

It's always hard to judge by players. They're way more prone to take the blame themselves than they are to throw anyone under the bus. That said, Robbie looked like he'd been shot with a tranquilizer dart.

There is that theory...

Well, you can't discount the teams they were part of either. Brady landed in what was probably the best situation he could have between Charlie Weis and later Josh McDaniels. Brees got the same when he joined up with Payton. Some of the current guys aren't in situations as beneficial as those. Imagine, for example, Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert being coached by Andy Reid.

Yeah, sure dude. Whatever makes you feel smarter Christensen's handling makes perfect sense if you say so. I'm sure the quarterback competition wasn't really that bad an idea either. Hell, it brought the locker room together, right?

Agreed. More topcoat and fedora, less tinfoil hat.

Intangible wise? I'd argue Rodgers and Mahomes are equal on a mental level, superior on the physical. I'd probably also have thrown Russell Wilson into that mix before this season. Herbert might be but I don't know that we've seen enough of him to say that yet. Ditto Joe Burrow. Some of the other guys I'd most closely compare to Brady have retired in the past few years. Brees was arguably the closest, though others would likely put one or both Manning brothers above him (or even above Brady for that matter). Andrew Luck arguably could have gotten to that level but probably didn't play long enough. Wentz had potential too but God only knows what happened there. Hell, Matt Ryan is the same style of quarterback, though definitely nowhere near as close to Brady's talent level as the other guys. Bottom Line: There are plenty of quarterbacks out there with more to offer than just athleticism. Brady isn't the only guy with superior brains.
