    Is Romo calling the Rams/Cardinals? Thought he was CBS/AFC?

    Not complaining though.

    What will Chicago do with Trubisky? They didn’t pick up his option and he is not worth tagging, do you just let him walk away? The talent is there from what I’ve seen but it’s consistency that’s missing.

    Bears are better with Trubisky but he reminds me a lot of Tony Romo. when there is no pressure on him he plays well but once the stakes go up I don't feel he has what it takes to get the win.

    Oh he definitely deserved his benching, and coaching staffs (staves?!) normally don't draft a Hurts if they have confidence in their man.

    Not sure how the Eagles get him off their books though.

    It seems he wants a trade or so the rumour is. If he wants to leave then let him. Nick foles has a statue outside the linc, wentz doesn’t and I honestly think it still bugs him.

    Some interesting games tonight. Where do people see Justin Herbert being in the rookie of the year vote ?

    He's out due to covid, so it's Boomer Esiason calling that game. Sounds very like Romo though, at least to my ears.

    Yeah I'd agree with that. If you have a top qb and you're in a good situation where you need a td, you feel confident of him getting it. Trubs you're kind of anticipating a mistake or just a flat play.

    And if derick Henry gets to 2,000 yards rushing which seeing as the Texans have closed the score will mean he might get there. He will join OJ simpson, Eric dickerson, Barry sanders, Jamal Lewis, Adrian Peterson, Terrell Davis, and Chris Johnson. That’s some lofty company.

    yep I can see him winning - Edwards Helaire and Claypool have been very good but Herbert looks like a franchise QB.

    He's definitely doing his best Romo impersonation.

    Especially in today's NFL. Hope he does it.

    No one is trading for that contract unless the Eagles bundle a high (high) draft pick with it.

    The Osweiler situation.

    I know I probably go on about it a lot, and it's only peripherally related to football, but has any team ruined their uniforms as much as the Rams have? Every piece is horrible.

    I thinks it’s between himself and Jefferson. Both would be worthy winners.

    Romo is out cos of covid protocols. Boomer took his place with Nantz.

    I was a wentz fan and still am kind of but it’s clear he doesn’t want to be a back up so I’m all for the eagles working something out because I don’t want any player on the eagles roster who doesn’t want to be there. I hope wentz sorts out whatever issues he has and gets back to his old self but it’s unlikely it’s in philly.

    Yes, although wentz is clearly a decent qb whereas osweiler was a joke.

    Yes the contract is a huge problem and given his injury history it will take a desperate team to give up a 1st round pick and take on that salary.

    Wentz to Indy is what I want to see.

    If Wentz really wants to get out of Philly can he not restructure the contract to lessen the heft for Indy and for Philly's cap hit?

    I really wanted us to take the fg on that last fourth, have a feeling it'll bite is in the ass, but either way, going for a shotgun play AGAIN is just asking for failure. So annoyed that were pissing away the game on clever clogs ****e.
