NFL Week 8 -- Primetime blues

Saleh said afterward that since it was a road game, he was happy to play for the tie.

 

He’s not, but so far Geno Smith looks like the best quarterback Cleveland has faced all season. Amazing handful of plays so far.

 

Tommy DeVito needs to get his fuckin’ shine box.

 

It’s weird seeing a Seahawks home game with the sun shining.

 

Don’t believe them when they tell you that you are going to be made.

 

That was the least Jetsy of Jets results ever.

 

I think Greg Zuerlein gets overlooked when talking about the game's great kickers. He's been pretty much money for a long time. 82.6% on field goals lifetime.

 

That would be the comp guy - I've banged the drum for Minshew, but the performance just isn't there. They are both like my golf game - I hit one amazing shot - perfect - and I think THAT is what kind of golfer I am - and figure all the crummy shots and mis hits are anomolies - just freakish things. When in reality I am more the latter than the former.

 

He’s come back to Earth after the first quarter.

And until the Seahawks start looking for/stopping the screens, no reason for the Browns to quit running them.

 

Minshew is a great backup quarterback. He's capable enough to step in and give you a chance when he's suddenly thrown into a game, and will play well enough to keep you treading water for a few weeks. But if you have to go more than four or five games with him his shortcomings will get exposed. He's a .500 (or slightly below) quarterback, which is great if you need a fill-in and not so great when you need him to carry you for an entire season.
Mayfield is probably a tick above that, in that he might be able to pull your team to a wild card spot.
Neither guy is winning a Super Bowl.

 

I never thought Will Levis would have one game in the NFL like the one he had today.

 

This just in: Brock Purdy is human.
