2022-2023 NFL Season

[Dish]

Couple of things on that TD:

Tirico's call >>>>>>> Al Michaels yesterday

The officials on that play were ungodly slow. If you watch the replay, no official can stay within 15 yards of a lineman running downfield.

This clock management. Woof.

[MU82]

This clock management. Woof.

Couldn't have been much worse.

But at least Harbaugh has an extra time-out to take into next season!

I went 1 for 1 yesterday: MU lost a close one Giants win by a TD and each team still gets to play another day.

As a Giants fan even I think this is over the top. The Eagles are damn good and I would be shocked at a win next week.

"We choked." -- Chargers defensive lineman Kyle Van Noy

It's obvious they did, but it's still refreshing to hear the admission from an athlete.

Ryan Jensen activated for Bucs. Key development for Brady as his offensive line has sucked all year .

Uh.....the Cowboys' kicker is now 0-3 in in extra points.  None were blocked or close.  Is this a record?

He also missed one last week.

If I'm the Cowboys' player personnel director, I'm on the phone right now with the agents of a few kickers.

OMG!!!

Can't wait for the Raiders to pay Brady $75 million next season.

Can't wait for the Raiders to pay Brady $75 million next season.

Nah, the Raiders are saving their money to trade for Rodgers.

[Herman Cain]

Brady needs to find a better team next season.

[Uncle Rico]

Brady needs to find a better team next season.

He would.  In a tv booth

Brady is going to need a stellar OL and defense to succeed - like he did two years ago. Not sure where he is going to find that in a place that doesn't already have a quarterback. But he looked old last night.

[Spotcheck Billy]

In the Super Bowl era, the Vikings became the first team ever in either the regular season or postseason to complete at least 80% of their passes with no turnover or sacks and lose the football game. Until now teams were 47-0.

SKOL?

He has looked old all season. He had a few Bradyesque 4th-quarter comebacks, leading some observers to scream about his greatness still being there. But most of those comebacks were necessary because he was horrible in the first 2-3 quarters.

Brady obviously still has the ability to engineer a couple drives in a game if everything is going well, but he no longer can play well for anything close to a full game. Which shouldn't exactly be stunning, given that he's 95 years old.

I trust what you are saying MU82. Yesterday was pretty much the first time I watched him play extensively all season. I understand his greatness, but the narratives around it just get so over-the-top and hard to bear after awhile.

Brady will retire, get his exwife back, have some makeup you know what, then unretire again.

[4everwarriors]

Nah, he's got young stuff now like Rodgers. You go boy, aina?

Totally agree.  We were saying it before, a few weeks ago, and I cited some stats about how he's been in the lowest tiers of all starting QBs this year stat wise.  Its one thing to go after a former MVP who is in his late 30s, like Rodgers, and say maybe it was just a bad year.  But Brady is literally nearing 50 and has been mediocre even before he was awful last night.  Trading anything for him right now, or allocating a big salary, even for a year, is football malpractice.

Agree, Wags. And yet multiple reports indicate the Raiders seem willing to do just that.

He's a free agent, so nobody is trading for him.
It's all speculation at this point, but Raiders beat writers don't think they're terribly interested.

[Pakuni]

Brandon Staley found his fall guy.

@TomPelissero

The #Chargers fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
A big move by Brandon Staley, who should have candidates lining up for a chance to work with Justin Herbert.

True about no trade being necessary. And for the Raiders' sake, I hope their beat writers' sources are correct here.
