Wow, NBC is only broadcasting the Chiefs game on (Friggin’) peacock. Clearly an abhorrent attempt to get viewers to subscribe to their lame streaming service. I’m guessing all the NBC Local affiliate stations will be up in arms. We’ll be talking millions in lost revenue for the local affiliates across the country. I’m curious to see how this unfolds.

I also was aghast, miffed, and more than slightly perturbed at this. Could hardly believe it. I hope the backlash is brutal.

I heard that peacock subscribers were forced to pay 5.99 to see the game!

Message:
there was no additional fee if you were a Peacock subscriber, the 5.99 is for 3 months of Peacock
more people watched Dallas lose than KC win

Maybe because Dallas lost? And no one will be watching them at all?
(The Cowboys will continue to dominate the media conversations about NFL, regardless of their 10+ years of abject futility.)

The Bears gave much greater competition versus GB than them Cowboys did...(somebody in NE Wisconsin obviously knows what the **** they're doing).

I don't think there's anyone left from those old SBI and II teams...(HOFer Bart Starr was a superb person, superb QB, and exceedingly average HC--while HOFer Forrest Gregg was sort of sneakily underhanded (payoffs for injurious actions taken, and such)).
Personally, I miss the old days: when HOFers Don Hutson and Curly Lambeau could take control of a game with their flashy use of the FORWARD PASS, bedazzling CHI player-coach George Halas to no end...ahhh, the memories...

What a shame Chester Marcol weren't place-kicking for Green Bay yesterday.
User: BrewCrewOldSkool

"Marcol may best be known for his game-winning touchdown in the season opener in 1980, at home against the Chicago Bears. The Packers were tied 6–6 with the Bears after regulation; in overtime, a 32-yard pass from Lynn Dickey to James Lofton helped set up a 34-yard field goal attempt to win the game. Marcol's kick was blocked by veteran Alan Page and deflected straight back to Marcol; he caught the ball, ran around left end, and was able to make it 25 yards into the end zone for a 12–6 Packers victory.[6] He later acknowledged that he was high on cocaine during the game's second half.[7]"--Wikipedia

I think I saw Scott Norwood down at the local public house, tears dripping into his Shirley Temple.

Everybody has a bad game or a bad call here or there sure, but let's not forget the great, HISTORIC season put together in Detroit by HC Dan Fontes and his staff.

I know what you mean Buzz - Taylor winning in her rookie year is pretty darn special.

Bills better roll tonight...three sacks, two interceptions, and one blocked field goal should do the trick.
(Sadly though, no KC, thus no Kelce, thus no TAYLOR SWIFT! OMG! (<30YO female viewership drops 30%, sure)).

I think the novelty has passed for seeing Taylor in the team's luxury box for five or six seconds during a three hour game. No doubt, there are designated watchers willing to record the precious moments and post them immediately on social media.
Having spent a minute with the Rams, I cannot forgive Allen's residency in Laramie.

Jerry Jones elicits his (obvious) fear with angst, threats to fire anyone (even DAL non-employees), and prevarication upon acerbically spewed disingenuous BS...(tbh, he KNOWS he won't live to see his beloved team hoist another Lombardi trophy...

Wow. I have been reading snippets of his comments, and he is going full little dictator. He seems to think the press works for him.

Found the audio. It is a weekly radio show that Jones calls into. The host asked Jones if he had second thoughts about the off season personnel changes. That’s when Jones got all prickly and told the host “it is not your job to ask those questions. It is not your job to sit there with a microphone and figure out all the things I have done wrong.”
I would hardly be surprised if Jones immediately tried to get that guy removed fro the program.

After hearing the clip, I figured the right response would have something to do with "as a sports analyst sir, it's exactly my job to asses moves made by you or this team..."...but then I realized--yikes! This is Texas, that's Jerry Jones, and I have a family whose safety I worry about...

Is this the proper time for Rodgers to break out his “r-e-l-a-x” speech for the NY fan base? They would be very receptive to it.

Alas, the Jet’s top brass did not realize that they went all in on a QB whose peak was higher than Tom Brady’s. But, whose trough is much, much lower.

So the 2-6 NY Jets are 2 point faves over the 6-2 for the Thursday night game. Somebody knows something. Did Aaron “Embrace the Darkness” Rodgers finally detoxify?

No way any team in NFL history starts 2-7 and wins the Super Bowl.

Rodgers and Co. posted the win last night. He and Adams seemed to show flashes of the old chemistry in the second half.
