I liked the Mannings, the game does at times get moved to the background, but especially if you're not completely invested in the game and hanging on every down and distance I thought they came off well and it was entertaining. I also feel like after having one or two under their belt they will work out some kinks and the whole thing will get even better

Only thing better would have been if Peterman ran out in his street clothes to chuck it up to Zay

Just enough to take a pee and eat oranges

Manning "haltime adjustment" discussion was gold

Daboll's 2021 version had a receiver out wide to the left, who then came into the back field, bringing an extra defender down on the edge right where the play was going to go (vs the 2004 version which had the TE shift from left to right - drawing attention to the right side) - then in 2004 version Bledsoe takes the snap and does a hard fake sneak to the right (whre the TE had shifted - presumably to block), drawing even more attention to that side - while 2021 version Josh barely takes a 1/4 step "fake" then stands back and chucks it. For trick plays the devil is in the details - if they actually practiced it in OTAs and TC they should have gotten the design/details right (the biggest thing was why change the design of the play that worked perfectly to have a receiver bring a defender down to where the fake was going to go - just stupid)

This was genius - Bravo

Don't know how Daboll watched that play then drew up and practiced whatever the hell that was yesterday - was like how can we take this play that worked and change it just enought so that it will be a catasrophe

Just super slo-mo'd the EZ shot of the punt block on GMFB - the guy who blocked it #28 just totally blew by Matakevich (who was lined up to the left of Ferguson) - #28 lined up straight across from Matakevich and at the snap got a little sideways and got initial leverage and just blew by him on the inside like he wasn't even there. There was a Steeler who was looping from right to left towards Matakevich, it looks like he got Matakevich's attention for the millisecond he was "engaged" with #28 - which helped #28 blow through. Jaquan Johnson was the protector on that side - not clear if Matakevich was thinking he was passing #28 over to Johnson - but unfortunately Johnson ran to the line first for the guy looping (who Matakevich was now blocking) and then the guy Ferguson was engaged with, and #28 had a clear path to the block. It was a great effort/skill play by #28 - got there straight up the middle almost as fast as if there literally was no one blocking him (and took the ball off Haack's foot while positioning himself perfectly to avoid contact in case he missed it) - but definitely seems between Matakevich and Johnson one (or both) of them messed up.

Baker looked like Tua on that one

Cmon Maker

Victory formation in Cheaterboro👍

Suck it Cheaters

The entire day continues to unravel

Tua JFC

100% want QB sneak 100% of the time there

This feels like a long game - guess I'm not in mid-season form yet

Bend don't break

That was like an EJ Manual throw

Tron saved a huge gain there

They earned that TD - that was a crazy good resilient drive

Man - guy flying for Josh's knee almost gave me a heart attack

Love the QB sneak

Would have like to have seen the play full screen

Yeah I was holding my breath hoping for no flag
