What a fucking tool.

[TAC]

Bucs 55-40 at LA? Wow!

[Cool Chris]

The Gardner Minshew legend grows!

Also, no dtf.org buzz about Jennifer Lopez and Shakira headlining the SB halftime show? I... have heard of them. One I believe is dating Alex Rodriguez. I know the other is a singer though could not tell you one thing she has ever done.

[TAC]

What Shakira has done is not important.

[T-ski]

Shakira is known for her hips, not her hits.

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?!!!

[Anguyen92]

Aren't they both known for their hips or other assets that looks like they curve?  I'm so out of touch.  The NFL can't afford T. Swift or someone else just to bring someone more modern rather than two women that peaked 15 years ago?

Most NFL fans peaked 15 (or more) years ago, so I find their inclusion rather fitting...

[Cool Chris]

Since when was the halftime show act been designed to appeal to NFL fans?

Don't call me racist, because this is THEIR marketing not mine (J-Lo said it in one of the commercials on the NFL Network), but they are tapping into the "Latina" aspect of the artists.  They're not there because of their music, their legacy or their achievements.  They are there to show how "woke" the NFL is now.   

[TAC]

Well, it makes sense if they are celebrating the culture in Miami.

[black_biff_stadler]

Then get Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.

[TAC]

Makes total sense.

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?!!!

Pfff...both teams sucked on offense.  No matter who won, the game was ugly and didn't deserve a primetime audience.

[T-ski]

only took 13 suspensions and fines to sit Vontaze Burfict for the rest of the season.

good things the NFL cares about its players.

[cramx3]

I must say I have really enjoyed watching the Giants the last two weeks since benching Eli.  Always was a big Eli supporter, but Jones seems to have lit a fire within the team.  The redskins are garbage and I won't take the win as more than beating a team that is really bad, but to see the team grow and be competitive is what I wanted all along.  Didn't see any of that in games 1 and 2 and felt like this year would be a waste, but even if we lose the rest of the games, as long as they compete and grow like they have in the last 2 games, I can at least watch and feel better about the team. 

Having said that, we are getting hit hard with injuries and while it's been fun to go from 0-2 to 2-0, this team really isn't going to go anywhere.  I just want to see them build upon themselves and set themselves up for a good future with Jones/Barkley on offense and draft up to build that defense for the years to come. (sucks our rookie LB Connolly is out for the year now  )

[hefdaddy42]

Glad the Panthers are starting to play well.  Kyle Allen has really given them a lift (despite his 3 fumbles yesterday).  He joined Patrick Mahomes and Jeff Hofstetler as the only QBs in the Super Bowl era to win their first 3 starts, all on the road.

Allen also joins Carson Wentz as the only two QBs in the Super Bowl era to go 3-0 in the first 3 starts with no interceptions.

Also, Christian McCaffrey is a beast.

[DragonAttack]

I enjoyed seeing a commercial with all those people in the jerseys of the Potatoes, with the voice over of a 'Hail Mary' failing, whilst an individual off camera goes 'Whoooo!' because he'd just bitten into a spicy McD chicken something.

Appropriate ad.  Appropriate team.  Waiting for DC owner Snydlee to sue for copyright infringement or slander due to ....the truth.

The Saints pulled this off with a middle of the road backup QB. What's Dallas' excuse?

[TAC]

Wow, the Bengals suck.

[PowerSlave]

Wow, the Bengals suck.

It's not just the Bengals. The entire AFC North is probably the worst division in the NFL. If they had the Dolphins then the vortex of suck would be complete...

[mikeyd23]

Yeah, making the Steelers look good is hard to do, the Bengals are pretty rough.

[El Barto]

Hey, Kev. Is this the best D of the Belichick era? I only have a vague recollection of the early 00's teams. I expected them to be a top D this year, but they've exceeded my expectations by a considerable amount.

[TAC]

Bart, it’s hard to tell at this point. They are excellent though. But remember they’ve played 4 of the 5 worst offenses and QBs with 4 of the 5 worst QBRs.
That’s not likely to change this weekend either.

[King Postwhore]

Yes, Tim is right.  I would say you need to play like that against terrible offenses though.

Next 3 weeks are below average teams.

[Stadler]

I'm waiting to see how they scheme against a decent, well-thought out offense (as opposed to 11 athletes winging it). 

I do love how they seem to be a big play unit.  I am spoiled; I grew up watching LT, and I can't tell you how many times me, or my dad, or the announcer, or someone, would say " the Gints need a stop here" or "the Gints need a turnover here" and within a play or two LT comes up with a backfield tackle, or a forced fumble.  That guy was magic, and while the Pats don't have an LT, they seem to have a knack for the right play at the right time.  That's not all coaching, although coaching sets the stage for it.

Probably the same excuse the Saints used last year with Brees.   QB's had nothing to do with it.  All defense.  Both games were ugly because people don't want to see defense.  They want to see an offensive shootout.

Bruh, Dak played last year as well. Your reasoning would be a lot more sound if their win last year had come with a backup QB so without that it ain't apples to apples. Each team won a defensive struggle at home over the last two seasons except the only reason this game was as close as it was was probably because Bridgewater has shitty pocket awareness and holds on to the ball like it's velcroed to his hand. That made the O-line have to protect him way longer than if they were protecting Brees and that led to a lot of holding calls. It's pretty unrealistic to think the offense would've sputtered like that under Brees regardless of what happened last year.

[Dublagent66]

You're missing the point and putting all the focus on the QB's.  QB's don't win or lose games.  The team as whole wins or loses games.  It's a team sport.  Last year's game was almost an exact duplicate of Sunday night's game.  The fact that you didn't have Brees this time has no bearing whatsoever because it was a battle of defenses.  Brees would have struggled just as much as Bridgewater did.

[Stadler]

And bear in mind, Bridgewater is doing what he's told to do:  a holding call or two is far better than a shitty interception while he's doing donuts in the backfield.

Lol. There's no way in hell that Brees and Bridgewater would fare equally against the same team in just about any circumstance. If he had that ability, he'd be starting somewhere right now and would've scoffed at whatever contract the Saints offered him.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but he was offered - guaranteed - the starting job in Miami, and turned it down to stay in NO.
