[rockaction 22,965]

I love how MNF has an obligatory LeBron tweet every week. Do they have a hush-hush contract with him?

Last year versus Miami, AB and Brady were in perfect sync on 10 to 20 yards patterns, after just 2 practices. Sure, it was Miami, but I'm wondering if Arians is the best match for Brady's skills. Or maybe there's just too many weapons in TB.

I watched that game. They were running really basic routes, the announcer pointed out. They were getting one-in-one coverage and running a limited tree. I think Brown living with Brady must be helping things, but yeah, Arians and Brady, even though 7-3, are not the best match for each other.

Brady excels at quick drops and releases. Arians likes deep drops and big chunks. As you know.

I roster Godwin in several leagues. He may very well have been a creature of Jameis' recklessness. Even though he's a 4.4 guy in college, he's gotten bigger and doesn't look as fleet of foot this year. 

[rockaction 22,965]

Yeah, Coca Cola, I gained the COVID 19 by not leaving anything on my plate. Ugh.

[rockaction 22,965]

Good coaches. That's why they're tops in margin after the first half.

Like the reverse Jets.

[The Frankman 3,281]

Goff got scared there and threw it early.

[Pigskin Fanatic 570]

QB plays not living up to first half so far.

[SoBeDad 2,237]

AB, Evans, Godwin and Gronk available. But let's throw to Fournette to get 10 yards!

There was a hard helmet to helmet hit. Not sure it's a penalty doe but they do tend to call it intentional or not.

good call. it was both players lowering their head, really can't penalize either

[rockaction 22,965]

Just now, The Frankman said:

Yes, it was. No foul because of simultaneous head lowering. Need to throw a flag for each and a fine if you want to get rid of that.

They usually flag the D and never call it on the O. Really BS that the refs do that, actually surprised they picked it up.

[modogg 4,681]

really don't like to run unless it is an obvious run down? kind of have to set that up a little more

Yeah, they do.

Gay is a terrible kicker, by the way. Inaccurate as all get out. Arians knows that feeling all too well. 

[fred_1_15301 5,396]

Yup with Gay as kicker, I’m kind of surprised the Rams didn’t go for it there.  They e been moving the ball well.

[The Frankman 3,281]

Cut that out.

Tom with a couple horrible throws tonight

Witten every single play: “The tight end is open!!! He’s got X open!” *shows replay, 3 guys are draped all over X

I’ve watched that replay 4x

i have no idea what Brady thought he was looking at on that play. 

[Capella 29,441]

Rams are just eating this zone up in the middle of the field. No adjustments at all.

There's so many QBs that would do better than Brady in this system with these weapons. Goff, Wilson, Mahomes, Rodgers, Watson, Fitzpatrick, Prescott, Murray, Ryan, Allen, Stafford, Big Ben, Bridgewater, maybe Taysom. But Brady has a $50 million no cut guaranteed contract for 2 years?

Brady has been excellent this year. Like half those QBs on your list are legitimate LOL. No cut? Are you serious?

Perhaps but many of those guys were not available and at least he’s not Jameis Winston

AB usually makes that catch

[Hot Sauce Guy 8,910]

This is why I think Arians is a terrible coach. In tied games or down 3-7, he plays like he’s down 40 and completely abandons the run. 

It’s dumb; and I think it makes them predictable. Play action only works if the threat of the run is real. 

Yet Arians has refused to establish the run. Shooting himself in the foot. 

i’ve seen him do this way too many times. 

[modogg 4,681]

ugh, do we really have to pass every friggin' play? both these coaches have their QBs in fantasy?

[SengerCJ 960]

Never thought I’d see an all gray vs all off-white uni matchup. This is not pretty. 

[Stompin' Tom Connors 4,241]

I have decided that this is the game with -- hands down -- the worst uniforms on field this year.

TB is tolerable but they look like the Browns -- tell you what, that's NOT pewter.

And the Rams bone jerseys just make all the other crud -- candied numbers, the weak highlighter pinstripe on the pants, the even weaker highlighter curve on the shoulders, the helmets -- stand out as being that much worse.

Drek, everywhere I look.

Overall, Brady may have been good. I've seen 3 games from start to finish - the 2 versus NO and this one. He's been below average in those games, and obviously better than Jameis. I meant no trade clause. 

[The Frankman 3,281]

No dog in this fight, but ridiculously quick whistle, right?

[Joe Summer 9,489]

Empty hand. Refs blew that call.

[Pigskin Fanatic 570]

think it was the right call but damn close

[The Frankman 3,281]

That's a fumble recovery and TD. Hand was empty when it started going forward.

Edited November 24, 2020 by The Frankman

[fred_1_15301 5,396]

Wow that’s definitely a fumble

[Hot Sauce Guy 8,910]

Oof. That’s a fumble. 

i’m a little surprised they didn’t blow it dead as “In  the grasp”  for a safety. 

[SengerCJ 960]

You can overturn this but there’s no clear recovery with the whistle coming that early. 

[Pigskin Fanatic 570]

what happens if it's overturned, spot possession? whistle blew as soon as the ball hit the ground.

All game it's been a quick whistle. They called Goff delay of game before it even hit 0

Spot possession. They blew the whistle way too fast.
