A Taysom Hill passing game is missing the open receiver and then running.

Of course he's playing the FaLOLcons so he'll probably throw for 250, run for 100 and be responsible for 5-6 TDs.

Over/under on the number of times T E B O W is mentioned: 12. I'd take the over, tbh

Nobody gonna talk about Stafford’s wife going full alt right and saying that Michigan was a dictatorship?

Nobody ever should talk about that moronic twit ever again.

That was his wife?

Kelly "stand for the anthem" Stafford said that? Ya don't say.

Fun fact: Tebow (33) is only three years older than Hill (30).

Could this lead to the resurrection of Tebow Time?

Looking forward to seeing her on OAN as the Staffords’ post career income.

Stock down: Drew Brees. I still can't believe the Saints trotted him out there Sunday with three broken ribs. I'm the last guy to defend that finger-licking midget, but he could have gotten literally killed out there.

I can. It's surprisingly hard to tell bruised ribs from fractured ones. The treatment for both is similar enough that I never ended up finding out when I went over my bicycle handlebars. Bruised ribs are primarily a pain management issue, even if I've personally failed at it.

If you want to talk about how tough and/or crazy they are to go out with bruised ribs and some painkillers, or how head injuries are a problem, then you have no argument from me. However, I think that going out with bruised ribs happens all the time. They only found out with Brees when he injured the ribs and punctured a lung on the other side, and the swelling had gone down on the previous week's. It sounded like last week's was a borderline case, which usually gets treated with painkillers and a brace.

If you're going to make a list of people complaining about basic science, it's going to be a long list.

We (Steelers) are *never* going to live it down if we exit the postseason to a Taysom Hill loss, which I guess would be a SB loss. It'll make a nice matching set to our postseason Tebow loss.

Apparently Brees has more broken ribs than originally realized. The count is now up to 11.

So he had 3 broken ribs on the right side that apparently occurred vs Tampa. The additional 8 ribs are on the left side and was suffered vs the Niners.

Sure starting to sound like a body that might have aged out of professional contact sports.

Niners finally outscored someone.

Teddy Bridgewater is active!

10 minutes later...

Teddy is inactive.

Ugh. Thanks for getting my hopes up Schefter.

Grier time you Charlotte cowards!!!

The 1 p.m. slate is worse than I figured it would be.

The Carolina game is borderline unwatchable. Somebody named PJ Walker made a nice 50+ yard throw to DJ Moore, then promptly threw a pick in the end zone. Even worse, Chris Spielman is the color guy on the Fox broadcast.

The Lions, meanwhile, are awful. Like Nebraska/Penn State awful. And Chris Myers (aka the dumbest guy in sports broadcasting) is (a) hosting the Fox studio show because apparently all the Fox guys have Covid or something and (b) he just called the Washington football franchise by their former R-word nickname.

WHO DOES THAT?!?!

Taysom Hill completes a 44 yard pass by throwing the ball skyward and having it fall so short of the route that the receiver had to field it like a punt while a bewildered defense loses track of it.

OK, yeah, I think the Tebow references are apt.

EDIT: Here it is

There should not be a Super Bowl awarded this season. Winner should get a special Covid Cup

Receiver should have called for a fair catch.

Uh, Chris Myers? Geez, do you read your own posts.

WTF is going on?

Saints and Panthers cruising with backups.

Carolina pitches a shutout over the Lions: 20-0, but it could have been somewhere between 26 and 34 because Not-Teddy threw two absolutely terrible end zone picks. Otherwise, PJ played mostly OK.

The Lions, meanwhile, were Jets-level terrible. Granted, Stafford has a busted thumb, and his starting receivers were a couple of hitchhikers the Lions picked up on the bus ride down to Charlotte. But the Lions absolutely gave up today -- no spark, no energy and a lot of who-cares-we-suck kind of effort. If the Lions were a TV announcer, they'd be Chris Myers.

Five bucks says Matt Patricia gets fired before the team gets back to Detroit.

I've never seen injury by penalty flag before O.o

Is that a contact or non-contact injury? Hoping it's a precautionary absence from the game.

The Vikings do know that they play in Minnesota, not Louisiana, right?

I have. It was a few years ago but a ref threw a flag and hit a Brown defender in the eye. He lost his sh*t on the red and got suspended (forget how long). I think he would have missed a few weeks with the injury, but the suspension was longer.

Edit: it was Orlando Brown, rest in power.

Leaving my original sure collection, but the more accurate version is probably the one in the wiki article.

Huh. Tua benched after 6? sacks from Denver.

Is the magic over already?

To be fair, Tebow could throw the ball pretty far. Backup FB/TE/WR Taysom Hill cannot.

Looks like his ankle got rolled, but I like rooting for fitzmagic anyway. Get well for next week tua!

Herbert continues to ball out, and yet the game might slip away again? I've never seen a top 10 team in the numberfire rankings at 2-7 before.

Chargers vs. Jets, one team has to win. Unstoppable force vs. immovable object? I think the chargers are unluckier than the jets are bad, and the everyone knows the jets are *bad*.

Edit: Whew, Jets stalled out at the LAC 32.

Packers-Colts is bananas

I wonder how many people watching the intro to SNF are going, "Wow, it's Mr. New Vegas!"
