Remember when you could count on a great announcing team on MNF?

Even if you didn't care for a personality, they were still good at their job.

It is really amateurish now.

Pat Summerall/John Madden - all others, Kneel Before Zod!

Like former WWL-4 Chris Myers to take over SNF and/or MNF; kick Witten to the sideline, ship Booger & the Booger-Kart back to Winnfield...

Say what you want, but Tony Romo is probably the best color commentator right now for NFL games and paired with Jim Nantz is about as good as it gets right now...

Yeah I watched some of that Vikings/Bears game last night and was quite surprised by the Bears. Howard and Cohen are a pretty good RB tandem. On defense they have playmakers at every level but also a few weak links. They are doing a good job of developing Trubisky.

Only team that still scares me most is the Patriots. Brady is Brees' lone peer intellectually and as a team leader. All other QB's in the NFL are on a tier way below (including the overrated Rodgers). Their defense can come up big at key times. Hoody coaches 'em up. They are often greater than the sum of their parts.

So glad we didn't keep Akiem Hicks... :neutral:

I'd rather have the Chiefs to beat just to shut up the simple-minded folk, but I'd bet a big batch of good gumbo (mine own), that Payton would love to win the Lombardi against Belichick and his dynasty...

Yup. The Chiefs are now the 30th ranked defense in the league, while the Rams have dropped below the Saints to 21st. The Saints are currently number 16.

Yep. It's not where you start, but where you finish...

After this game, Aaron Donald is a more likely candidate for mvp than Mahomie

That would p*ss me off and this is why - an MVP wouldn't have allowed his unit to get dragged up and down the field like a b*tch like they were...

Rams DST scores were impressive, but it wasn't Donald and they didn't shut the Chiefs down like Chi-town took down the Vikings...

They won’t give it to Mahomes as long as our record is better. The perfect story is for Brees to finally get a MVP and go on to win his second Super Bowl so it can guarantee his spot as a top 5 QB of all time. The NFL is WWE sometimes.

Don't underestimate the herd-stupidity of the talking heads Guido listed, but that is an damn fine apt summation...

New record for what? Combined TD passes in a game? Absolutely not. Brees and Eli Manning threw collectively 13 TD in that 52-49 track meet three years ago.

Nice catch, was thinking the same thing...

"1. New Orleans Saints (9-1, LW: 2)

Here was the offensive yardage from each of the Eagles’ drives on Sunday, and remember this is still a Philadelphia offense with a lot of talent: 9, 6, 0, 75, 19, 0, 16, 17, 9, 14, 31. And that last drive was meaningless (it was insane that Doug Pederson still had Carson Wentz dropping back to pass). So over the Eagles’ first 10 possessions, they had one drive with more than 19 offensive yards. If the Saints defense is going to play like that the rest of the season? Game over."

The Dome and Saints Defense literally imposed their will on the Eagles. We keep home-field advantage, we punch our ticket throughout the Tournament to the Big Game...

Guido, you caught that as well?
