That's enough of Cards for me. Wasters.

When you throw 3 picks your always gonna be up against it. The lions have blown leads, but have been competitive and it was only a matter of time, surprised it came v the Cards but I didn't think Murray would put in such a poor passing performance.

Or did the cards **** the bed ?

Murray shat the bed anyway.

Lions finally got one done, that game winning drive was superb. Snapped an 11 game losing streak did it?

Metcalf silencing the haters again :pac:

BonnieSituation · 28-09-2020 12:46am

That throw from Wilson was incredible.

StringerBell · 28-09-2020 12:48am

Wilson is something else

StringerBell · 28-09-2020 12:57am

Some finish for drama, dak saw his name in lights there and missed the 4 Seahawks he threw it at

Perfect throw and Buck says it floated a little.

Himself and Aikman went silent after Metcalf caught it. I'm sure they're devastated.

TheDoctor · 28-09-2020 1:02am

Nice for Metcalf to get the winning TD after that shocker earlier

StringerBell · 28-09-2020 1:03am

Redemption alright

Let them at it. Ha.

It was a 3rd and 3. I mean, he didn't NEED to do it, but the guy CAN so why the hell not.

Either Aikman had a massive head cold or something else as he sounded awful tonight. I don’t know who’s top of the NFC east tonight but for a division that prides itself on being one of the best in the NFL, it’s not living up to it in any way so far this season.

Might be a wildly unpopular opinion but I think Mike Tirico is far better than Al Michaels.

I'm sure the potential SNF job was part of the reasoning he joined NBC a few years ago for the Olympics job.

Ah al Michael’s is good but he’s been there a while. Tirico has a comforting air about him.

Why isn't Michaels in the booth?

Thought it was funny when Tirico apologised to Chris about him not being able to do his "slide".

EDIT: Seems it's a plan

I'm a big fan of both. A weird complaint but Tirico nearly seems too perfect at times. It is a waste to have him in the studio when there are so many poor guys doing games.

Saints had those initial big plays here but Packers seem to be on top since. Interested to see if those Saints plays were specifically targeting weaknesses they saw on tape and whether they can keep getting those looks as the game goes on.

I remember hearing/reading that he was going to take weeks off during the season to limit his travel. They pointed it to be COVID related but I'd say it might be a handy excuse so they can keep Tirico happy and/or give him exposure for succession planning.

Had a read around there, seems to be a bit of column A and a bit of Column B.

Itssoeasy · 28-09-2020 2:20am

Wait so why is Al missing tonight ? I’ve been trying to watch both wwe and the nfl for a couple of hours and failing so I clearly missed why Tirico is in and not Al Michaels.

i've only seen parts of this but Rodgers is looking ridiculously good, as good as I've seen him in years and years. Looks like the draft was the kick in the arse he needed.

If they lose tonight and the Bears end up on top of the division it will be as unjustified a lead as i've ever seen.

A bears fan complementing a packers QB ? 2020 reallyhas chucked all the rules out the window clearly.

He's been very good. But the Saints D have been equally as good as well tonight. kept them out a couple of times earlier on.

Turning into quite a game.

Delighted I have a late start tomorrow to get to stay up for it.

Bears fans have Stockholm syndrome maybe. Can't argue with what's on the screen in front of us. I was hoping the decision to replace him meant they felt he was in decline, and that the less spectacular play of the last few years and his tendency to throw tantrums and seemingly be in tension with his head coach would continue. No evidence of it right now.

Anyway can we get onto the much more important topic of Kamara's teeth?

Realt Dearg Sec · 28-09-2020 3:53am

Ludicrously generous spot on that for the first down. Very rare that these challenges ever get upheld though, which is weird because I always think the spotting is the most arbitrary and error-prone thing in all of football reffing, and that's saying something. Always seems to me that refs just pick a spot from very rough impressions (and often having seen the play at a strange angle), but they declare the spot and place the ball with total confidence and assurance as if they know. It's long past time to put a chip in the ball.

eagle eye · 28-09-2020 4:56am

Packers, well Rodgers wins. Imagine if they had used that first round pick on a wide receiver.
Saints I feel would have won that if they had Thomas, he is always available and it's clear Breed has got too used to that.

SupraSonic26 · 28-09-2020 10:09am

glad my dolphins won on tnf, dreading playing seahawks sunday wilson will hammer us but our d was really good against the jags offense so we might keep the scoreline down!

Itssoeasy · 28-09-2020 4:41pm

Well at least the eagles didn’t lose last night.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 1:17am

Here we go...

This genuinely has me giddy with how this could end up.

29-09-2020 1:24am

Decent enough first drive.

29-09-2020 1:31am

Piss poor stuff from Ravens on D. Far too easy for Chiefs.

May as well have not had the D on there. Poor.

29-09-2020 1:46am

Ravens D will have me asleep shortly.

29-09-2020 1:56am

If we don't get a TD on this next drive, it'll be a blowout.

29-09-2020 1:59am

A 93 yard return will certainly suffice.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 2:10am

It's bubbling under.

29-09-2020 2:19am

We'd be better off just leaving Calais Campbell out there on his own.

29-09-2020 2:26am

Snead and Boykin bouncing into each other in the middle of the field sums up our first half.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 2:35am

I think that TD sums up your half. Jeebus.

Xavi6 · 29-09-2020 2:35am

This Chiefs offense, weapons everywhere.

29-09-2020 2:37am

That'll be goodnight from me, before I burst every vein and artery in me head.

I was wrong. That turnover sums up your half.

This could get ugly if they don't make the stop. Chiefs get ball in second half too.

29-09-2020 2:40am

It'll be a bloodbath as long as the Chiefs keep their foot down. Calais Campbell the only fella doing a tap on D. Offence not much better aside from Lamar's early run down the line and obviously the 93 yard return.

DBs look live they've each had a half dozen Guinness before kick-off.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 2:44am

Needed that stop and miss.

Xavi6 · 29-09-2020 2:45am

27 points and it should be more, hopefully they keep the foot on the gas in the second half too.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 3:04am

To say the Ravens needed that turnover would be an understatement.

Xavi6 · 29-09-2020 3:23am

Ravens D has shown up, big stop there and a TD on this drive makes it very interesting.

eagle eye · 29-09-2020 3:33am

If the Ravens D step up here quickly vi can see this game being tied. Chiefs D have to be feeling tired right now.

BonnieSituation · 29-09-2020 3:43am

It's just astounding how Mahomes just seems to create space from nothing. Pleasure to watch.

Edwards-Helaire is having a game to boot.
