How was that not a face mask pull? At least the Dolphins got a pick 6 the next play

Is this Mattingly related?

I like that stat that this team beat opponents whose combined record is 5-24 so far. And it shows. Go. Birds.

I don’t hate the chiefs, but JC, mahomes is in a lot of commercials!

it’s kinda funny he shares the subway spotlight with that loser herbert.

Jason Kelce is in a local commercial for a car dealer or something. He splats over some teenager in a pickup game. It’s hilarious.

I think the Ma-Auto commercial is kind of funny.

If you think you see a lot, try watching in the Kansas City area with the local businesses.  You're hard-pressed to find any commercial that doesn't have him in it.

That one is probably the best State Farm commercial they've done since Aaron Wroggers.

I hate all insurance companies.  Could be for many reasons, but really,  it is for clogging the air during games with the same few commercials all year, every season.  Uggghhh
I know advertising is vital to support the scale of the leagues but it drives a person insane.

It just makes you think how much of this insurance premium is paying for all these damn commercials.

I give State Farm credit. They were a dying brand,  associated with your parents and a local agent.  They've really focused on changing the perception and I think it's working.

I've used them forever (thanks Mom) and have always had good experience with them. I'm amazed at how many people drag on them.

Holy crap we need to re-name this thread from the National Football League to “Insurance.”

I just can't stop trashing this year's NFL schedule. The Bears. Literally the worst team in the league last year. Like, they had the #1 pick. How is that team in a prime time game? I remember when the Eagles would go years without playing a single night game. You had to (sort of) earn it - at least go 8-8 or something.

At least it was a good night to catch up on streaming shows.

I'm still not clear why Underwood gets the SNF spotlight but whatever...or why there needs to be a spotlight

They like to have Bears due to market-size.  The New York teams also have a ton of games on primetime.  I would think Philly would be locked in to several PT games even when they go on a downswing again.

Also, remember, that the days of the SNF game being the primo top-shelf game with Al Michaels and John Madden are over.   They have good games in all 3 slots now for the most part.  The 'day' broadcast partners also get to protect games (I remember CBS claimed the Buffalo/KC playoff rematch last year and it couldnt be put on primetime).  So much money spent to carry games, they have to throw bones to everyone.

I would like to see the NFL experiment next season with a staggered schedule and have a day of football.  Do something like:

Germany 8AM x2
London 10AM x2
12PM Start x2
1PM Start x2
2PM Start x2
3PM Start x2
4PM start x2
5PM Start x2
6PM Start x2
7PM Start x2
8PM Start x2
9PM (central/west) start x2
10PM start (west) start x2

You would have 2 teams on Thursday

Then MNF
7:30PM Start x2 
9PM Start x2

Make all games available 1 week only streaming on their app or just have all the blackout restrictions lifted for a week or something or have the games available with a free trial of youtubeTV or something.

there’s so much football…SNF, MNF, TNF…..that nothing is special anymore.

back in the day…MNF with Howard and Dandy Don? we used to go to the bar (the brass monkey) nearly every week.

#2 - Cowboys
#3 - Dak
#4 - Prescott
#5 - CeeDee
#6 - Lamb

Re: primetime and stuff. Apparently the big 4:25 games are getting the highest ratings of all.

And yeah the Chiefs were awful.

Eh, Mahomes was sick and MaAuto's good luck charm didn't show.
That was a blip.

Bengals looked great against 49ers...hoping they start kicking ass

Offense is really tough when they get rolling.  
I admit to being annoyed when Mixon celebrated like he'd won the superb Owl scoring that rushing TD, when in actuality it was his only his second of the year.
It is more of a combo of my hatred of women beaters and being sore watching 49ers get smacked around as well....but Mixon is a pieceashit and he makes it tough to root for Bengals even though I like their QB and WRs.

Dunno about the “blip.” I haven’t been sold all year.

I stopped watching pregame shows over 20 years ago for this reason.

Well, The Broncos finally beat the Chiefs.  That was odd.

its super wide open this year....Eagles cut above, but not by a ton....should be fun 2nd half

Yeah.  Seems wide open, but I can see the Eagles hitting the gas and rising above.  Maybe the Bengals as well... although I can picture about 7-8 AFC teams who can get hot and go on a run   

Even with their recent troubles, its hard to imagine anyone other than the 69ers or Eagles winning the NFC.  (Cant picture the Cowboys or Lions winning the 3 requisite games.)

Good move by Seahawks.   Big Cat can be a good addition.
