He said on air “nobody is watching”.

Near the end of the game but I still couldn’t believe he said it.

Honestly, that was one of the better/more interesting games that they've had on TNF this year.  Most of them, especially the early ones were absolutely miserable, and IIRC, had almost zero offense.

All that being said, I also found it interesting that they elected to have absolutely no one at the post-game desk like they usually do.  They showed like a 30 second interview with Foreman coming off the field after the game and then went into their usual "coming up this weekend" stuff.  I've never seen that before, so it was clear they just wanted to be done with this game and move on.

Also, I don't think this quote is real at all, even if that's how he felt...  the internet has gotten carried away with these memes trying to go viral.  I really don't find them funny anymore.

And finally, I really wish Wilks and McAdoo would stop hamstringing the offense by limiting PJ this much.  He can hit big throws, as he's demonstrated each game outside of the Bengals, you just have to scheme it up to make it about as surefire as you can.  They also could do a lot more with PJ in the read option game - a lot more.  They are really limiting the offense's potential.

Yeah gotta say this especially being a rain game was much more entertaining than that Broncos/Colts game where it went to OT off 4 field goals each or whatever horrendous stat that was. Mariota doesn't throw the ball when it's dry out and it was obvious why. The only thing missing was getting Ridder to start the 2nd half and looking even worse

PJ literally threw it into the hands of the defenders like 3 or 4 times last night on his already limited amount of throws, and you want him to throw it MORE?

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
