NFL Week 4 -- darn, even Rock Reed scored against the Lions

[exmediahack]

It's only one half. Actually, 4 1/2 games this season. But I have no idea why NBC wants to push out Uncle Al after this season for the meh Mike Tirico. Unless it's age. But Al still brings a pretty good fastball and a huge-game feel like tonight. This isn't Uncle Verne territory where the end was pretty obvious. Not the case with Al.

Al still brings it.

Denver's loss is okay. He's still Teddy Covers.

In that weather, with a kicker who was questionable all week AND 59 seconds still on the clock, you gotta get closer and burn more time.

Lots of puzzling decisions.

It was 4th and 3. Just pick it up, get closer and kick with :03.

Collinsworth loves Mac Jones more than is seemly. Kid's played an excellent game, but wow has his lily been gilded tonight.

Jones was brilliant in that game.

You have to believe Belichick still doesn't have quite enough faith in Jones to put the one win-or-lose play in his hands. So he put it on Folk's foot. It's kind of a bad sign when any coach thinks the top playmaker on his offense is the placekicker.

Octave, he was excellent, a fine performance in tough conditions. But "brilliant" should get a quarterback's team more than 17 points no matter how hard it's raining.

 

[Octave]

He completed 18 straight pashes in a steady rain in his fourth start.

I can't believe I'm defending a Patriot, either. It was really weird watching that team and hoping for them to win.
Something I hadn't done since I had long hair and gambled on football in the Bill Clinton 1990s.

When I saw this I couldn't stop laughing
"The Lions look confused…"

 

[poindexter]

Jones' longest pash completed was 21 yards. Competent quarterbacks can dink and dunk. He was pashing against DBs who weren't even on a team in week one. He was fine last night. Brilliant is silly.

 

[poindexter]

Mac Jones put up 17 points against a defense who had been giving up 30.

 

[Octave]

I'm on to Week 5, don't give a ship.
The guy played very well, use whatever descriptor you like.
No rookie in the league completed that many pashes in a row in 30 years.

Mac was pretty good last night and matched God tit for tat.
