@mclaincausey no doubt Mayo had to go! (will always be grateful for the BB years but holy hell is he doing his best of late to overshadow past accomplishments)

Flacco shooting out the lights

Two old QBs put on a clinic tonight. Fun game. Nice win for the Bengals. @Alex Bet they knocked a lot of guys out of their survivor pools.

Tough loss for my Steelers. Hard not to root for Flacco, after all he is a Jersey guy.

I’ve hated the Ravens since they were the Browns

@Denimhead-0 haha at this point in the season I am only here to talk smack about the Squeelers.

@flannel-slut of course you mean the Pats

That game was insane.

@Denimhead-0 bro!! I’m literally shaking right now from all the endorphins.

@Mizmazzle Nice win. i had Broncos in my pool so very happy. 33 pts in 4th qtr

@Mizmazzle what a comeback!

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB 3 quarters of the worst offense into one quarter of the most exciting!

We have so many offensive issues to fix. Play calls are not working. Execution is a joke. But today…we enjoy this insane win!

@Mizmazzle Being a Chiefs fan,obviously, I’m rooting for The Giants,as that would have helped The Chiefs. While it was a crushing loss for The Giants,they definitely have their quarterback. What a great game nonetheless.

@Jett129 I agree with you regarding Dart. The kid has something about him that is confidence inspiring.
Conversely, we sit here at 5-2 and still can’t say with any authority whether Nix is the man or not. He has this Tebow-esque aura about him that is unsettling.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle When it was 3rd and 5 in the 4th quarter and they had an 18 point lead, I’m thinking just run the ball and play defense,but they thought they were slick like the Seahawks against The Patriots in the Super Bowl and decided to throw it. Obviously if he completes the pass etc. but he didn’t and that was the beginning of the end. I looked at Denver’s schedule for the rest of the season and I don’t think there’s a single game that’s not potentially winnable,even the 2 games against The Chiefs. Kind of reminiscent of The Chiefs winning all these really tight games in the fourth quarter last season.

@Mizmazzle as a long time Dart and Nix observer (being an Ole Miss / SEC / college football fan) the difference in Dart and Nix that stands out to me is that Dart correlates with elevated play on both sides of the ball for the Giants (I say “correlates” because it’s uncertain to me how much of the vibe changes across the board are due to him, but it certainly coincides with his starting). If we assume at least some of the turnaround even on D is due to what Dart brought then that is another level of leader for a team. But then again Nix stepped into a team with an elite D so maybe unfair to compare.

My worry about him is staying healthy with the aggression he has always played with.

@Jett129 I’ve thought the same thing about our schedule. Kind of looking forward to the cowboys next week. Feel like they will offer us a legit challenge and be a solid litmus for what we’re capable of in a playoff scenario.
