I thought Bengals linebackers only DID the targeting.

It's pretty astounding how far he's regressed this season.

I mean, that's just marginally better than if 3 of us were at LB for the Bengals covering TEs and RBs.

Match him up with Gronk in the Regression Bowl.

Gronk still gets it done. Nothing like he used to but they still don't make them like that.

One of the all-time greats...

But in 2018 he is no Eric Ebron.

caveat that LBs rely on quickness and not straight-line 40 speed and all that but it's still crazy that he ran a 5.1 at the combine. no cushion for the quicks

After last week, not sure any team is a lock at -14.

Having said that, I took the Chargers for 9 points in my confidence pool.

One reason - there may actually be more Chargers fans than Bengals fans at the game.

Haven’t seen the plays (watching RZC) but GB’s interim coach has burned through both challenges on Atlanta’s first drive of the game, less than 2 minutes into the game.

GB got screwed on 1st call, Jones never caught the ball but 'the play stands'.
The 2nd one was closer, Jones toe might have been on sideline but I agree 'the play stands'. GB should have used their 2nd challenge on a 10 yard out when they already lost the 1st one.

The inevitable destruction of that franchise as Rodgers ages with no one to miraculously take his place like he did Favre's is going to be some of the most glorious schadenfreude of the 21st century. Not as great as what Trump has coming, but up there.

You know how in blowout baseball games they let position players come in and pitch? The Redskins should let anyone but Sanchez play QB the second half.

For me, it's the Giants DB getting hit with a taunting penalty after giving up a 30 yard catch (at least that's what the gamecast said)

Again, Colts should have tied Houston in Week 4. They would be 1 game back of Houston now with the tiebreaker.

Seems like a weird place to use Gronk since the lateral play was more likely than a 70-yard jump ball, but I'm not the guy with the Super Bowl rings

That was an amazing game.

Harbaugh will bitch about the refs (who sucked), but that comeback was fantastic.

I had only seen that highlight on my phone until just now. Had no idea that was Gronk. Hilarious.

So if I'm not mistaken (and I probably am) the only times that play has ever worked was when the Dolphins ran it.

The Saints had the best lateral play ever but then they lost the game when their kicker missed the game-tying extra point.
