You can have our #1 pick, Bryce Young. He even won the Heisman. Who you got?

ok well...that game against the Cowboys could have gone a bit better. Now we get to debate whether Jones or Zappe is going to start the next game.

Ravens had a good day while the rest of the AL North didn't. But we lost four more players to injuries. I don't know how they can keep this up with some many starters out. O line is struggling already as it is. But I'll take the 3-1 start.

Gah, that Jets result burns me up, and I’m not very invested in many NFL games.

They had the Chief’s number, and the absolutely ATROCIOUS holding call against #1 on the Jets changes the outcome of that game in a big way.

Also, so happy I’m not a KC fan. You can tell the NBC production team/management told everyone from the cameramen to the announcers to REALLY make a big deal about Taylor Swift, gah. The fawning and coverage was over the top IMO. Going to be a long season for anyone who’s not a TS fan, but follows the Chiefs. :D

The Bears currently hold the top 2 picks in the draft. The first is from their own incompetence and the second is from the Panthers' incompetence (from the trade that allowed the Panthers to pick Bryce Young first!).

This game was much better than the prior ones. If the Bears are going to lose, I want them to do so in spectacular, entertaining fashion.

I took the boy out to lunch. We left with the Bears up 28-7 against the lowly Broncos. We had a 0.4 mile walk home. When we got home, the game was tied. That's some impressive losing.

TS does nothing for me in appearance or music. You would think she was going to perform at halftime the way they hyped it up. Buncha creepy old men.

I’ll give the benefit of the doubt this time that’s it not them being creepy old men, and instead being overly excited that they can tap into a huge fan base that might not have had a ton of overlap with the NFL before. Kelce’s jersey sales spiked 400% in the last week or two.

There’s money to be made, and the networks and league are going to do their best to hoover up every dime.

And while I enjoyed joking about it with my wife and family before the game, the amount of times they cut to her last night quickly got old.

There was reporting last week that the KC game was the most watched program of the week by far and I forget how many additional estimated viewers there were, but it was a lot.

I just got a push alert that the game last night was the most watched TV event since the Super Bowl, due to Taylor Swift.

I cannot believe how bad the Giants are right now. Jones looks awful. How could the Giants have invested so much money in him? But in his defense, the Giants O line might as well not even be on the field. Jones is getting pummeled. That's 11 sacks now. Not sure why the Giants haven't pulled him. Like it or not, the Giants invested in him. It would probably be best not to leave him out there to get killed!

Terrible game. But I loved the Aikman comment after one of the Jones sack when he referenced getting sacked himself by the Eagles 11 times in 1991. What a great day that was!!!

I have no idea what you were looking at, that was clear defensive holding. Sauce let MVS run up on him, and then MVS attempts to cross his body. Sauce reaches out and grabs MVS’ left shoulder and alters his exit. That’s defensive holding.

Seems like the ghost of Butkus got into the Bears defense last night - they actually looked good for much of the game and got 5 sacks (they had 2 in 4 games coming in).

Fields also spent the last two games looking like a QB you could build around. Granted, one of those games was against the Broncos the week after they gave up 70, but progress is still progress.

Plus the Bears still have the No. 1 pick in the draft! (Keep losing Panthers!)

Again, I will happily trade you our #1, Heisman-winning draft pick.

Take our #1 draft pick, PLEASE. :D

so... we're not going to talk about last night's game? The total dismantling of "America's team" LOL

Man Purdy is the real deal. The guy exudes confidence, he's accurate and just carves us anything that is in front of him.

I rarely watch the game live and last night wasn't any different as I had to take the kids places. I managed to watch the first 2 niner drives on my phone using YouTube TV. Came back around 830pm to watch and the recording was all black and no video was playing. I restarted the roku to no avail. I tried the phone and same thing.

I went to peacock with hopes of being able to watch, but unfortunately no go. It gave me an option to watch live. The game was over but I was hoping to be able to hit start over, instead it took me to the post game and saw the score.

My only option was to watch the game on Telemundo. So I learned a lot of spanish, and learned that Cowboys Suck is a universal language :)

Yeah this 49ers/Browns game hasn't been much fun to watch. Close game though.

Didn't get to watch the Ravens game, but it also sounded like the usual ugly football they've been playing all year. At least they didn't get blown out like the last time they played London.

Missed a 41 yard FG to win it…oof. Can’t blame that on the refs.

Ended with 25 total penalties. Ridiculous.
