This article aged really well. After Monday - everyone was asking why are the Giants in prime time?

I heard Big Red gave the pregame and love it. Thanks for that post. And in first qtr I thought J Reed deserved game ball. Big Red one of my all time favorites (along with his wife’s husband “My man Jacob!!!!” (Yelled a lot in my youth being the sack man he was then)). Reed huge that game. Just loved it.

The Charbs hit took a little of the sting away I’ve been feeling since we drafted him over JMS. Bobo looks like he might be a real part of things. Can we please draft 2 players each of the first 2 rounds every year?

This roster is just going to be fascinating to watch develop. The obvious guys like JSN and Spoon who we all assume/hope will turn into big time players, but then the other guys like Bobo, Bradford, Hall, and Charbs. Throw in the development of the 2nd year guys like Mafe, Cross, big Abe, and Woolen. It's been a long time since we had this much developing talent. No idea yet what the ceiling is for these guys, but the floor seems pretty high on the aggregate.

I'll say it again, if we continue to get better (which I absolutely think we will) throughout the year, and can stay reasonably healthy, we could be a handful for any team to play come January. I love that the group has more 'nasty' growing in them as well. It will help us in the second half of every game, and maybe we've already seen that in the Detroit and Carolina games.

Enjoyed watching that Bradford film review. Whacks guys when he doesn't really need to......just cuz. D-lineman will notice that. If you're locked up on the center or the tackle, you gotta keep your eyes on the young man, cuz he might be sitting your ass down. Pete will love that and he might work his way into the starting lineup more and more.

As a West Coast native long tired of national media obsessing over all things eastern, I kept sliding into angry rants with each attempt at an incisive commentary on today's topic. So, re. NFL putting NYG in excessive primetime slots, I simply say: 🤮

Now I may need to find a good therapist and unpack some issues.

Wait, I just thought of a silver lining: at least kowtowing to the NY audience keeps the NFL from going all in on the Cowboys as "America's Team." That would be even worse. 😆

100 pts for throwing 'kowtowing' out there. Nice job.

I, too, suffered a Survivor 2KO week, stacking losses to Cards & Texans - I feel a recurring revulsion at Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy et al - how does Dan Quinn linger with those losers?!

I wish I had triggered SSJ’s cheat code, “Grayson McCall!”

It's surprising that the TNF probably has a better slate of games than MNF this year.

This one today should have been good, but Green Bay is really bad until now.

I've kicked out of the survivor league because I didn't know I had to put my bid before Thursday. I thought that I'd only be unable to choose that game. So I lost. Still alive at 2 out of the 8 survivor pools I entered.

Watching TNF! It appears the Lions are trying to replicate that big score Miami set! Had a feeling that was going to create a challenge to break records!

It apPears that Anthony Bradford is the real deal. Drafted in the 4th round via our buds, the Broncos. Thanks for all these videos, KenJoe, especially the one with Red Bryant

I'm sorry that you were knocked out of both Survivor leagues this week. That's disappointing, but not half as disappointing as not knowing which team(s) caused your downfall.

I really don't care if the NFL wants to slit it's throat by featuring the Swamplands teams. I don't particularly think the Hawks deserve primetime slots anyway.

The 49ers do for sure. Miami for sure. That beatdown of the donkeys was epic. Russ didn't play badly. Not Mr. Unlimited or anything. He's clearly in decline from what he once was so he won't be carrying Denver in overcoming a defense worse than ours. But playing lighter has returned some mobility and allowed him to shine at times. His accuracy and touch way down field is still excellent.

I'm excited to see what Russ can do with Marvin Mims once he starts getting more playing time. So far he's been dazzling.

Me too. One of the exciting new players in the league. Miami has that really fast and nimble running back who catches passes too. So dynamic.

Ahhh HELLO. Where do you live somewhere on the left coast? The "NY" Giants. There are more people in one of the boroughs than in the PNW.

Love the video breakdown of Anthony Bradford's game. If you're tl;dw, he said he has shown so much in this one game as a rookie that Phil Haynes will probably not be with the team in a year, or so. The tape looks awesome. His improvement from the preseason has been huge. He has even picked up new techniques already. Love this guy's knowledge of line play and his breakdowns. Great stuff!

🤣 I am also amazed by the teams chosen to play in London this weekend. Can’t imagine that’s generating a whole lot of excitement.

I only survived one week between the two survivor games and it appears fewer than 1/3 of those who started are still active. Odd season, for sure.
