MNF Game Thread - 7:15p PHI&TB, 8:15p LAR@CIN

If they insist of doing these early season Monday night double games I wish they would coordinate it smarter.

 

If I'm watching the Bills and they cut to that split screen they sometimes don't really ticks me off. Couldn't care less about the Bucs or Eagles during a Bills game, ya know?

 

If they want to do this better...double the divisional games. Let's say, Miami vs Jets is on with Buffalo vs. NE. Then, ok, I care a bit about the other AFCE games. 

 

Division games seem to be better and have a few upsets as well. Would make for better TV IMHO.

Talk about rolling the dice with Burrow. I am worried for him that that is an Achilles waiting to happen.

I'm sure they shot him up with whatever 

[Chicken Boo]

Will tonight be the night that Zac Taylor realizes he has an elite, all purpose back in Joe Mixon?  Or Sirianni realizes that he can give Swift more than 2-5 touches per game in favor of Kenneth Gainwell?

 

Meh.  Probably not.

A foolish risk. 

 

Now that 7 teams can make the playoffs, take the week's rest.

That would make 3 MNF games in a row with a disastrous injury. 4 if going back to last year with the Hamlin injury on the last MNF of the year.

Eagles look sluggish and unsure tonight

Hurtz is over hyped.

Baker is a guy I didn’t like in Cleveland. He just had/has this punchable face. 
 

But I find myself rooting for him to find some success and catch on. He seems to be a pretty gritty player who isn’t giving up on his career. 

[GoBills!]

Baker playing smart football. He has two great wr's here no reason not have some success.

[Scott7975]

Both would have been TD passes if Mayfield had a better arm

He seems humbled and less whiney to the refs. Like he has to prove himself, especially after replacing Brady. Its a good spot for him.

I forgot Chase McLaughlin was a Bill

[Mango]

That’s on Evans. It wasn’t perfect. But that’s still a drop. 

[Low Positive]

Which calf is hurt on Joey B?

[Roundybout]

Meanwhile, 49ers coaching legend Jim Tomsula has just won the European League of Football championship, leading the Rhine Fire to an undefeated season 

 

 

[Success]

There simply isn't a better name for a RB than "Gainwell."

 

[LeGOATski]

Ugh, those white tiger helmets are awful

Yeah it's still a drop but it's a drop because the defender got his hand on it and ripped it away.  If the pass had some velocity the defender wouldn't have gotten there.

[Cray51]

Hurts is a very overrated QB.  Not elite in any way as a passer.  Has the best OL in the league, and still looks shaky and indecisive in the pocket

[stevewin]

I am normally uniform-bllnd - but even for me the white helmets are ridiculous

Evans still needs to attack the ball and make that catch.  That's something Knox or Davis would get shredded on if they didn't catch it
