Hopkins is an incredible player. That was as spectacular as it gets

He looks like he hit the circle button on the PlayStation controller over and over

Collinsworth has apparently seen more unbelievable plays in this 16-16 overtime game between a 1-3 and a 2-2 team than he had ever seen in a game before.

Can we start making Hopkins the WR that’s assumed to be traded to the Pats some day instead of Fitz?
Hopkins is never going to win anything in Houston and Fitz is almost done. Let’s switch it up!

If Josh Gordon stays straight, we don't need him.

Edit: Not saying I wouldn't love to have him.

Brees just broke the NFL passing yards record on a monster TD pass.

He got the ball right away; no receivers playing keep away.

Y’all are missing an incredible, historic performance by Drew Brees

Thanks to Brock Holt getting the insurance, I was able to switch over and see this live.

I’m obviously sympathetic to a full-60 argument but I’m surprised the Saints are still rolling with the A team here.

Brees seems like a genuinely nice human being and was able to do it despite being short. Great career.

I’ve always wondered what his career would have been like had he gone to Miami. Sure am glad we never got to find out. New Orleans was a perfect spot for him.

Didn’t watch the whole game. Did anyone point out that a team called the Redskins was playing on Columbus Day? Seems not well thought out.

so I watched some of the weekend games in condensed form and I have two questions:
what's up with Seattle and the dropkick kickoffs? It looked like the Rams always started their drives around the 40 which seemed less than ideal.
in the Houston game Bob went for it on fourth and one with like two seconds left in the half, can anyone come up with a reasonable explanation why? I mean I get being aggressive, but in this scenario you're not pinning them deep in their territory because the half is over if you fail.
