What game is objectively better though?

the Sunday night game, no matter when it would be played....would draw the most eyeballs this week.  

I think Carolina is tied for the 2nd best game of the weekend.  Tied w/ Rams/Cards.

Based on the people involved maybe. But that game itself will probably be lopsided. The Patriots are not good this year. I would not say that will be the best matchup of the weekend.

The Rams vs Cardinals may be a notch better, the Ravens vs Broncos will probably be as equally entertaining as the Panthers vs Cowboys.   The Buccaneers vs Patriots will probably be the most watched this weekend for obvious reasons.

Rams/Cardinals is probably the best, but Tampa is going to smash the Patriots.

They put Buck and Aikman on the best match-ups of the week.  Dallas vs Carolina isn't the best match-up this week, so the second tier announcers get to call this game.

You heard it here folks.  The Jags vs Bengals game is THE best match-up of the week.🤣

I don’t even hate Aikman, he’s not that bright sounding and he’s biased, but Buck is god awful. No charisma and too obviously sounds like he’s trying too hard to put on a voice and play a role. He’s like a bad actor in a good movie, just stands out in the wrong way. 

I could do without Buck.  There is something punchable about him.  I like Aikman.  But sometimes it becomes clear he played in a simpler time.  I think the difference between Aikman and the Manning's jumps out already.  If the QB seems to look at 3 different receivers on a play, Aikman gives the detailed replay analysis that "he found his 3rd read!  Way to go thru your progressions!"  The Manning's look at the play design and defense and know where the ball is designed to go...and can give you the insight that the QB was only looking off defenders with the first 2 so he would have enough room to fit the ball in to his primary target...that he knew would come open because of the initial read.

Aikman actually did this during our game.  And when you went back and watched the film, the QBs feet were aimed right at the primary and the "looking" at other receivers was just to freeze defenders.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
