That tackle on Rodgers was almost exactly like what happened to the Florida State QB vs Alabama.

Montgomery looks tremendous, gutting out extra yards everytime he has the ball.
There are reputable scouts who feel like he can legitimately be one of the 5-10 best RBs in football. That's a scary thought when you consider how much talent GB has.

And right on cue, he limps off of the field....

I know it was against the Colts, but Jared Goff actually found his receivers today

Paul Richardson could potentially be Seattle's best receiver. Loads of talent, career marred by injury.

Him and Baldwin are a great one two WR combo, because I think Baldwin is tremendous. The problem is the line. If Wilson doesn't have the time, both will wilt.

Russell Wilson is having the best game ever for a guy with no TD's against an unexceptional defense.

Posted without irony -- I'm so impressed with his accuracy and toughness under ridiculous pressure, without a whiff of a running game.

EDIT: And <175 yards passing, somehow.

Seriously, I don't understand how the other Seattle guys can stand to share a locker room with those O-linemen.

Seattle's OL the past 3 seasons has become like NE's secondary from 2009-2012 or so. Fatal flaw on an otherwise SB caliber team.

Graham got manhandled worse than Gronk on that 3rd down pass. No call. NFL, it's fantastic.
I thought KC mugging Pats' receivers was just a fluke of the crew...but seemed to be the case for most every game I saw today. Is this a new thing?

Looked good during pre-season, too. Not an actual test yet, but I do think people wrote him off way too quick -- I also like what the Rams did in giving him some weapons. Need to find out what they have in him. Last year was just unfair to him. This year, for better or worse, his line is okay and he's got decent receivers -- Kupp looks great and I liked the trade for Watkins -- yes it was an overpay, but I think it's worth it just to see what Goff looks like with real WRs. Not sure who they play next week, but be interesting if it's a more competitive game to see if Goff can hang or not.

Good thing too. Cuz I can't remember that last team that went from abysmal on defense to terrific in 1 year, substantially through FA.

Got to keep running Elliot. Payoff in second half

Collinsworth announces he won't ve discussing the Zeke situation. Where was this reticence back in SB49? About half the fourth quarter was him telling us how he looked into Tom's eyes and saw the deceit

Oh but SoSh loves him! Just like it loves Magary and Deadspin. So clever, so astute.

He rightfully took a lot of shit for that. I'm glad he isn't melodrama-ing this game

So Witten has played in the NFL 2x as long as Gronk. Jesus

Not really impressed by Prescott's start; has missed several wide open receivers.

Is there anyone that is more historically overrated than Archie Manning? He makes Namath look like Otto Graham.
