What a decline in the quality of football between the morning and afternoon games.

No McCaffrey sucks, but there have been some good performances.....I saw the Hunter Renfrow catch that was nearly a TD, really awesome.....Flipping channels, rooting for the Lions....Josh Allen has become my go to athlete.....Win the division son.....
Puking at the anti white commercials, can’t help thinking about is a 29 year old Zenner not better than a 35 year old APeterson? Or ZZ vs Drake? Or the fact that crappy Miami cut him......Ugghhhh....

Scotty Miller nearly hauled in a 70+ yard TD. The DB was beat and held his arm with no call. The announcers said zero separation and matched him Step for step. .

Finally Isabella is unleashed and is having the game we all know he's capable of. He could have had 5 or 6 games like this last season if the coaching staff had used him correctly.

Problem is, he's playing more today only because Christian Kirk is out for this game because of injury. Kirk didn't do squat the first two games so we'll see how Andy is used next week after today's performance.

Iron man Philip Rivers leads the Coalts to a dominant win. Too bad he doesn't have more White players around him.

Cowboys take the lead over the Seahawks. Not that I'm a Dallas fan but it would be great to see Pete's Plantation choke.

I'll have to check to see how many snaps Logan Wilson played, as he finished with an impressive line of 5 solo tackles, an interception, and a pass defense.

Cowboys 1-2. Eagles are only a game behind. I will say the Eagles have some work to do - build up a running game, bring in every white OL FA possible, perhaps bring in a fullback for run blocking and pass protection, bring in Switzer for a look while they are at it. They need to totally revamp the offense and actually come out with a game plan.

It really says something that Edelman and Burkhead have stuck so long with the Pats. Belichick is notorious for changing out even his productive players frequently.

Along with their skills I think Belichick values their mental toughness, which can really set the tone for a team to play to its potential.

And those types are not that plentiful in the NFL.

Good point. Edelman has been more productive, but Rex has battled more nagging injuries I'd say!

Just as crissy was criticizing the run defense of the Packers and the cameras zoomed in on Lancaster the Saints score on a blown coverage by one of their "athletic" LBs.

I’ve been saying Burkhead has star quality but just doesn’t get the carries. Part of that is due to his injuries but a bigger part due to his lack of melanin.
But boy oh boy, he sure can turn a handful of touches into magic. Here’s hoping he has earned more carries next week.

Burkhead is a solid back - he's very good at everything. Fun player to watch.

Just as Isabella's increased usage was the result of Christian Kirk's injury, Burkhead has benefited the past two games by James White not playing after his father was killed in a car crash. Between White, Michel, and Damien Harris when he comes off IR as soon as next week, the number of snaps Rex gets will likely decrease. Enjoy games like today's because barring injury they're going to be exceptions.
