    Eli didn't take long to do what he does best:

    find a wide open DB and hit him for a TD pass

    14-0 Eagles

    Watching the Giants is so annoying. Their D is great, but their O is awful; by all rights they should be a .500 team, 8-6 at best. Yet week after week they'll shit the bed for 50 minutes, then Beckham will make some one-handed catch or take a slant 60+yds for a TD and they get the win and everyone pretends theyre an elite team.

    Wentz is an elite athlete. He may have excellent intangible football instincts, smarts, too. He's already way ahead of Petty.

    McAdoo goes for it on 4th and 5, then later kicks on 4th and 3

    disagree with the decision

    now they still need a TD even after kicking

    A td to win instead of to maybe, maybe just tie. It was a good call. Now they've got the ball back.

    Nice little mugging there. That's one way to stop a 4th down pass

    Awful no call. Completely held Sterling's arm.

    yes but either way they need a TD

    so not helping yourself as much as you could've by going for it on 4th and 3, where you're more likely to convert than not

    Good job letting them keep that timeout, Eagles.

    And down they go. This team is a paper tiger.

    The Giants are more fun to watch than the Jets.


    There. I said it.

    Definitely did. But the Giants got away with one on that 3rd down pass by the Eagles on their final drive. That slot corner (I think his name was Wade??) held the shit out of the WR. The Giants should have never even gotten the ball back

    Giants are last years jets. Smoke and mirrors getting by on people playing over their heads and timely plays. They even lost to a divisional rival in an extremely winnable game late in the year affecting their playoff chances.

    Buffalo defense looking bad against Miami. Can't see how Rex will survive this.

    Rivers with his 19th INT, leading the league. Could the Brownies actually win?

    Ridiculously brilliant scramble by Rodgers for the TD. I guess his legs are feeling better.

    Mariota hurt and carted off the field. Ankle was put in a boot, so it's likely broken or torn ligaments there.
