2021 NFL Week One

[Don Wassall]

Crissie has been pretty restrained to this point, hopefully it stays that way all season.

 

[Extra Point]

WR Justin Watson is still on the team. He's out, though, due to knee surgery.

 

[Extra Point]

I didn't watch the first half. Usually in a game Collinsworth will:

A. Single out a black player to say how smart he is.

B. Give credit to a black player when a white player makes a play,

He may have done one or both in the first half.

If not watch for it.

 

[Bucky]

Tampa Bay DBs dropping like flies. Too bad only a handful of Blue Collar DBs allowed to play.

 

[Extra Point]

Former Boise State QB Kellen Moore is now the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys. He seems to be doing a good job.

He's only 32. He must have a great football mind.

See post #26 above, he hasn't been himself and I mean that in a good way.

Elliot did not look very fast or explosive on that option run at the goal line - have to wonder if his best days are behind him already. Not to mention the Cowboys offensive line is not the same as it was during those first few years with him in the league. The Pass to rush ratio is way off tonight for both teams.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

TD #2 for Gronk, the Cowboys defense simply has no answer for him

 

[Don Wassall]

Elliott looks to be another of those running backs who fade prematurely. He's apparently a party animal who skated by on his ability. I've heard and read a number of comments about what "great shape" he's in this season. Oh really?

 

[Leonardfan]

Another TD for Gronk!

Dan Quinn comes from the same school of thought as Gus Bradley - eradicate the whites on defense, bring in your own players. Keanu Neal was beat by Gronk earlier on that drive. LVE no where to be seen.

 

[Henrik the Swede]

Yes! Those two guys… Great.

That has been the narrative this offseason. Martin and Smith are the only two o-linemen left from their dominant 2016 season.

 

[Don Wassall]

Dalton Schulz is under-rated, even here

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

Dalton Schulz is under-rated, even here

Agreed, he and Jarwin have played a pretty solid game today. McGovern has also done an admirable job of filling in for the inactive Martin.

 

[Bucky]

Dalton Schulz is under-rated, even here

Definitely. Schultz up to 5 for 42.

Jarwin 3 for 20

 

[Henrik the Swede]

That pass deserved a better fate.

 

[Don Wassall]

Crissie just fell off the wagon -- he referred to Antonio Brown's "million dollar smile"

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

So much for the reform of Aunt Crissie, who just referred to Antonio Brown as "the man with the million-dollar smile." The jokes continue to write themselves.

 

[Henrik the Swede]

Nice to see Gronk is having a good game. Both with catches and blocking.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

Whoops, ninja'd by Don

 

[Reinhardt]

The DB play on both sides has been absolutely atrocious on both sides tonight. Too easy for receivers to torch them nowadays. Part of this has to do with the difficulty of the position, yes, and the rules restricting defenses from doing their job, but there is a definite oversaturation of mediocre talent in this league. Great job to Gronk and Schultz, once again showing the absolute revolution at the position in recent years. Just as I'm typing this Brent Urban's in on the pass rush and Scotty Miller appears! Brady's receivers need to step up, however.

 

[Extra Point]

Collinsworth says that Antonio Brown has a "million dollar smile." To black supremacists such as Collinsworth only blacks have "million dollar smiles." They never seem to say it about white players.

How much of his "smile" did he lose in the law suit settlement?

 

[Bucky]

Crissie was also making excuses for Godwin when he dropped that bomb from Brady.

I have tremendous finger swivel for a White man when it comes to typing
