Texans this is like a horror movie make sure they are gone for good before you breathe a sigh of relief!
Oh god the patriots are going to win this on some tom brady miracle bullshit.
Boy would that have been infuriating.
It would have been the most patriots style ending. Recover the onside and then like get an immediate dagger td. "TRUST BELICHECK!"
After this loss tonight the ravens actually have a believable path to the #1 seed, only the bills can play spoiler here, then again they could fuck the pats too.

2 minute warning, 1st down, Vikings with one timeout to prevent.
And I'm STILL not confident that Seattle won't give it back to the Vikings.
Granted, I don't have confidence that Cousins will do anything with it, as he's pretty consistently mediocre in big time games in prime time, especially on the road.
Still, I'd rather Seattle NOT fuck around.

Seattle always plays to the level of their opponents, unless the opponents are much much better, i.e. The Ravens.

Keep in mind that Vikings have a pick six and a touchdown post short field fumble that kept them afloat despite a very meh night from their offense overall.

While that's true, Seattle had 10pts off short field turnovers too.
Kirk Cousins is 0-8 on MNF, you can take that to the bank. THE BLOOD BANK!
Which, given he hasn't played on a truly terrible team (as a franchise QB, he's gone 9-7, 8–7–1, 7–9, 8–7–1 (again), and 8-4 so far), is quite impressive, from a statistical perspective.

I mean, Wilson isn't the most genuine person, and that he has to reference people by their number does bring up whether he can't remember their names, or if it's some kind of affectation he's picked up (and it sounds fucking stupid), but in the history of the segment, have they ever had someone say something positive and insightful?
Other than catching a QB who was struggling (Darnold or Goff?), which has made the team swear off participating in the segment?
Just seems like a stupid pointless waste of time, every time they run a segment.

I assume mic’d up catches a ton of rad strategy discussion, audibles, and other pre-play chatter that they can’t run because it would end up being used in film rooms.
I like the stuff that slips through like the MLB yelling “I’m not the Mike!” back at the QB, or Cam Newton saying “watch this” when Clay Matthews (I think) tried to call their red zone route.

I remember "I'm not the Mike!". That was funny.
I guess it's more, with the self-censorship of the gameplay stuff you mentioned, I just figure that if they're going to do it, then do it because it's interesting, and not just because you feel obligated to.
It's like if they felt the need to show the coach during a lull every game. Sometimes it might catch something interesting. But most of the time it's just going to be the coach staring at his playsheet, scratching his ass. Don't show that, and especially don't show a recording of that. I guess that's really my issue. These aren't live moments. These are recorded, and editted for a segment. If you've got nothing cool to show for that 30 seconds, don't show anything. And don't hype it as interesting.

This just makes me think of how television broadcasts always insist on showing us shots of the audience reacting to a fireworks show. Like, in what universe is that ever going to be as interesting as the actual fireworks?
The entire Miami game felt like the Dolphins were one play away from falling into a ditch, but it never happened. Especially since the very first pass Fitz threw was an interception.
Anytime they tried something weird or dumb though, I was all in. They aren't going to hit .500, let alone have any kind of post-season action, so let them run any play they want. Onside kick to start the second half? A TD pass from the punter to the kicker? Gimme all that shit.
I'm kinda split. Yeah, he hasn't been doing a fantastic job since the Panthers fucking sucked in Superbowl 50. But Cam's persistent injuries haven't helped, and he still went 24-24 in the three years prior to this one. Granted, this year is looking to be a second losing season in a row (currently 5-7, with @ATL, SEA, @IND, NO to go. Winning three isn't impossible, the two hardest games are in Carolina, but I wouldn't put money on it).
My question though is, who the fuck are they going to hire that's better? It's the big question. I see it all the time with things like Baltimore prior to this year, and Pittsburgh almost every year.
It's not like there's a big stock of unutilised talent out there to draw from. It's one of those positions where good coaches stay where they are. Unless Belichick, Harbaugh, Carroll, or Payton are considering a switch, it's probably going to be a lateral move at best.
And it's not like it's a great spot to move into. Your franchise QB is injury prone as fuck. Your backup is problematic. Outside of McCafferey, all your real talent is aging out (Kuechley and Olsen can't have more than a year or two left). And you're not bad enough you'll get a good draft position.
So, while Rivera might not be "the solution", who are they gonna get that's better?

Last nights game was vintage 2019 Seahawks. My heart and liver can’t take this bullshit but I also can’t complain. 10-2 when we could Just as easily be 4-8.
On to wherever. It doesn’t matter because it’ll suck but we might win.

If you wanted to create a robot to play football, getting it drafted by Seattle is a pretty good idea. And I bet it wouldn’t be that hard to convince an ex-pop star to “marry” it in exchange for a big fat paycheck.
It’s harder to explain his college career and first marriage, but I’m sure we could work through it.

I don't know that I'd read that much into him calling Penny by his number. It doesn't seem that uncommon in the league and is probably closer to referring to someone by their handle or callsign than it initially seems. He still bland as hell though.
I always thought that the NFL did those micd up segments better than the NBA. The NBAs are about as interesting as listening to Wilson. I also don't ever remember it being an ESPN segment. Was it NFL films that used to do it?

And Wilson has like an 85% win percentage in primetime. You want to a decent shot to beat Seattle, make sure it's no later than 4:30pm EST at kickoff.

Wilson has a .7 win percentage over all non-playoff games. (Well seahawks last 8 seasons)
