Peyton and Eli

I thought this was phenomenal TV on ESPN2.  It was so interesting and bringing in guests like Ray Lewis and Russell Wilson. It felt like you’re on the couch watching the game with them. The amount of insights and their ability to predict plays is amazing. I found myself glued to this and I usually get bored with MNF. So much better than a normal broadcast, I kind of wish I could watch football like this every time. The novelty will probably wear out eventually but if you’re a fan of the game, I would definitely try it.

I thought it was terrific

their insights were spot on

eli…hard count only at goal line right before rookie jumps offsides

payton…I prefer to play against man defense in two minute drill as Carr hits two bullets over the middle to get raiders a FG to tie it in regulation 

all 3 of them (Wilson) calling out what they see in defense every play

and that’s just a few I can think of

very welcome relief from the network mouthpieces

i watched them Q4 thru end of game

Ray Lewis was also great earlier in the game, calling out plays from defensive perspective.

It was amazing. If I wanted to just watch the game ... I could have. This was an alternative. It provided humor, amazing insight the schills can't give you, game knowledge former players who are in the booth aren't allowed to give, fun guests, and great brother back and forth. It was like watching the game with your buddies ... who just happen to be football genuises. Will actually watch MNF now. Kudos, ESPN.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
