Snoop and the Double QB.Snoop needs to work on that band name
The show works best with Peyton and Eli or Peyton and Eli with a guest that can also break the game down or push the Mannings to answer questions. Most guests are a big negative but some were great (Aaron Rodgers last night breaking down the TD pass to Adams on Sunday or earlier in the season with Phil Mickelson come to mind).

I don't disagree... kind of a perfect world thing.
I assume the idea is for alternate programming, alternate approach. There's already the MNF broadcast team that is supposed to do what you describe above. Not sure ESPN wants two shows focusing on the same game with the same/similar approach. I feel like the intent here is comparable to if you were watching the game with friends, or in a bar (or something) where you don't necessarily hear the broadcast at all. The conversations are featured and "oh by the way... there's a game going on" kind of feel.
At least that's my take. I might miss bits and pieces of the game, but the banter is head-and-shoulders above listening to the MNF booth team. Then again - I don't really focus on the games when I am actually watching them anyway... usually a backdrop to other things I'm doing.
Different strokes.

Goodell was a poor choice for a guest. Absolutely no chance he would be anything but guarded with is answers. He's the freakin' Commish!
Good stuff with Cowher in Q1 though.

Eli: Let’s go to Peyton to break down that touchdown
Peyton: I can’t hear ####
Eli: Nevermind
Peyton: I can’t hear ####
Eli: Nevermind
I'm not much of a fan as I would rather the focus be totally on the game. But this was funny.

May we all be so self-aware.

Totally looking forward to this again.

Hoping it stays good, but can easily see ESPN causing this thing to jump the shark pretty quickly as they try to maximize their profit (i.e. weekly Stephen A. Smith guest spots, guests who are on for name only and don't really know football, etc. ).

Would have saved me some time last night to have known this in advance ...

Love avoiding Joe Buck because ManningCast 75% of the games. Thank You Joe Buck for moving to MNF.

Pretty boring and kind of annoying tonight, switched back over to AikBuck

Tracey Morgan is not that funny tonight. The Mannings look dumbfounded

Tracy Morgan is toasted out of his mind.

He's never funny off script. Great sketch comic, but never found him funny in moments like this. His best line tonight was not being able to remember the name of his favorite Giants RB...
Morgan: And I had the jersey of my favorite player, MIGHTY, JOE, YOUNG!"
Peyton: You mean Joe Morris?
Morgan: Yeah.
-------------------------------------------
Crack up moment was McAfee on there talking about the beauty of the SFF @ DEN game... Peyton complaining of course about the lack of offense, "DEN punted 10 times!"
Eli: Denver should have paid the punter $240 million instead of Russ.

Well let’s give him a pass tonight. He was clearly toasted beyond belief.
Dizzy
Footballguy
Was he? I just thought that he never fully recovered from his accident... kinda "punch drunk" for the rest of his life.

Thanks. I actually had no idea about that event.

Hate the guests, peyt and Eli doing the game between ball busting and breaking down the action is fantastic

I don't mind when their guests are former players, especially guys that played different positions than QB and they use the guest to help them discuss the game, strategy, etc. Any non-NFL related guest (Tracy Morgan, sheesh) has no business being on this show. And I'd be 100% fine with no guests at all and just let E&P go back and forth.

They need to bring on JB Smoove.

Agreed somewhat. I don't care who the guest is, but the guest has to challenge the Manning brothers. Talk ****, talk game..... push back.

I love the brother's chemistry, but I find myself watching the regular broadcast of MNF more often because I do not like how they cut down the screen showing the game (and I have a 65 inch TV) and when they have guests it distracts from the game. Buck and Aikman are dull, but I prefer to be hearing about what's going on on the field rather than what Tracy Morgan is up to.

The guests on this show from what I have see are seen as people they 'have to' include and tolerate while they rather just watch the game. Peyton actually seems annoyed with the guest as they have to ask them interview questions while he is solely focused on the game. Peyton is so much fun to see his reactions and how immersed he is while watching tho. I think the backgrund irritation adds to the entertainment imo. But agreed, its way more insightful when they actually talk about the game.
