I have no affinity for either team but that was bad.

Sure, but in the end he went 72 yds in less than 90 seconds, with no timeouts (1 huddle the whole way IIRC) without his best receiver and playmaker, and he never panicked or rushed anything. His poise and calmness was a huge reason they were able to do what they did.

Again I am an avowed Cowboy hater, but I also appreciate great play when it happens....and that was done as well as it could have been.

I will agree though that the Giants could have been a whole lot better, but that can be (and is) said anytime there is a long game-winning drive like last nights.

He could do it in less than 90 seconds but not in less than 50

Very true.

As for this Eagles/falcons game....more than a little surprised by the Eagles lack of execution thus far.

The Falcons though look good early on.

Bradford looking like a guy that hasn't played in 2 years and is having big problems re-adjusting to he speed of the game again.

Also that O-line at times....yikes.

I'm still not sure why the Eagles have been getting all this love anyways. So many changes and very few were for the better, at least on offense

They looked good in the preseason and pundits seem to forget every year how little the preseason matters.

I'm so annoyed with the TSN feed. Can't see the bottom of the score ticker.

Bit behind, just finished the first one. What a game, freaking Falcons. Philly's pretty fun to watch when they finally got clicking. Always liked Malcolm Jenkins in N.O., I see he's still allergic to INT's though.

Prime time games have been fire so far. Niners-Vikes have some work to do

Wow, huge hit on Kaepernick that doesn't seem to bother him. If Bradford was ever hit like that, even his mother would be out 6-8.

Niners-Vikers has been the worst played game ever.

^^^ yep. I felt awful when Hayne fumbled the punt return. Hope he makes up for it. Pretty cool story.

You see it often enough with D coordinators, but a little unusual to see an O coordinator call plays from up in the booth like Turner is, no?

Good for Tomsulla to get a win with the off season his team has been through. He's been a good assistant for a lot of years and those guys will play hard for him.

Hahaha we were on the 45yd line and said the same thing. A total dump of a park. You happen to make it out to Levi's stadium for the 49ers?? Beauty park, bad lineups, but in the middle of freaking nowhere. 2hrs to get back tonight.

Both poorly executed games. But seats were great and an awesome time.
