Man, we are getting worked. We don’t really have a lot of run stuffers and it is showing against a dominant run game
The Mannings and Belichick clearly have different rules about expressing what they think of the reffing. They’re not talking shit, per se… but they’re not not talking shit, if you take my meaning.
This should be the universal standard across sports, instead of going up to a former refs who affirms whatever is called on the field without question and PBP+color follow in lockstep. The NBA gets this right pretty much always when you watch that product. You can critique the decision, provided your interpretation, not the ref.
Um, for those not watching, the camera was on the Jets run D and Peyton asked Bill, So, what would you say to them.
And Bill said, like, what he would say. It was fast. Well Organized. Efficient. And insightful. And wow.

It's fucking incredible how the NFL keeps making the experience worse for international customers. The DAZN app not only sucks with horrible bitrates and constant judder, but for some reason I can't access the ManningCast broadcast now. Everything worked so much better on the dedicated Game Pass app.
I think he’s signed on to the first half of every Manningcast this year.
I love how Bill doesn't really give a fuck about dumbing anything down or translating for a national audience. That's Peyton's job, if he wants it.
I think this is right. And then other guests in the second half. I think Sandler is on today
I can't help but think we may see some BB and Brady comps tomorrow.
Or on social media, if I knew where that was.

Totally. And that was especially cool in that the broadcast had Peyton invite Bill not just to not dumb it down, but in effect “run the play” version of coaching; like, it was real. And it was fucking wild. Like not describing but doing, executing what he’d do in a game as a participant.
Better than mic’d up.
We’re in the danger zone. Smarty pants up 6, probably scores here, gets the ball to start 2nd half
FUCK
FUCK
BB followed by Sandler is legit a bummer for tons of reasons, although I liked Uncut Gems. Nothing against Chris Jones but not expecting much his block since he's an active player, which really limits what he can say on a lot of levels.
Belichick going off on forcing the Niners wide, Jets immediately give up a completion inside the numbers
Inside routes. Shades of “slants and in cuts, that’s the game” from November 2001 vs the Rams.
Bill’s been better but it’s a bit of an unfair comparison because they’re being asked to do different things. Brady is being asked to dumb it down and appeal to everyone and Bill is able to just talk football with guys who know what he’s talking about.
Its apples and Wilson Dukes, but BB in this format is far more entertaining and informative than Tom was yesterday.
* BB rips an audible fart on the Manningcast *
* 15 people open up their phones to describe the length, breadth, and potential smell bouquet on Boston sports message board *

I am nervous, watching in my Niners Kittle jersey while my wife and "kids" (they are full fledged adults by now) are out of the house tonight.
I would say good luck but well.....
Anyone else notice that the refs are treating the hip drop rule like when they let coaches challenge PI? They don't like the rule so they have not called a single one of them.
Peyton calling out something that MIA and SF push and push with no flags, guys moving toward the LOS before the snap.
