Brett Favre shown grinning at something on his phone, not the best image to present....

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Oh dear Aaron.

Rodgers is not with it, at all.

Might be worth giving a shot to Favre.

Falcons about to draw level in Seattle. I already was a believer but this is just reinforcing it. This team are definitely legit.

Until the play offs.

Jeez, I hope Adams is alright. No movement...

Until the play offs.

Good point well made. Every team eventually will break it's playoff curse I guess. Except the Bengals of course.

Davante Adams thankfully looks ok.

That is terrible from Rodgers. Big moment in this game.

 

[Anon]

My word. I know Rodgers is deceptively good when running, but attempting to shift in the crowd when it was a 1st down? Madness.

 

[kieran_vale]

Falcons lead Seattle. Seeing Toilolo run to the end zone there I think he is the one person who Tom Brady could beat in a foot race.

Lifeline for Green Bay.

Not sure that i can recall hearing a chorus of boos in Green Bay before.

Inviting Brett Favre into the booth to discuss Aaron Rodgers struggles of late. This is close to the greatest day of his life.

Beautifully executed play by Dallas to finish this game.

 

[kieran_vale]

Julio you have to take that. Seattle look like they may well just get away with this.

 

[Craig]

'The onus is now on this Atlanta D'... not what you wanna hear as a Falcons fan is it?

5-1 muthatruckas

I know its becoming a repeated talking point but do you think if Romo is healthy again he comes back in or gets Bledsoe'd?

Unlucky Falcons, played a very good game against an excellent opponent but that Seattle D when needed was just incredible.

*of course there was the no call on DPI on 4th and 10 that helped.

Well that was pretty bad all round really.

O-line gave Rodgers a good amount of time, and other than Montgomery collecting some volume in the 2nd half that's about where the positives end.

Corner group is decimated and gave up some terrible blown covers. Despite Prescott looking human we didn't really pressure him, not even sure we got a sack. Lacy did pretty well considering he's clearly not fit. Nelson and others dropped balls that should have been caught, and Rodgers - well, some serious questions to be looked at now.

Feck knows. 2 weeks ago I'd have said Romo comes back in (assuming he looks alright in practice in that, which by all accounts he does), but it's getting harder and harder to stick with that... I dunno. I'd roll with Dak at this point, I think.

Am inclined to agree on that, its a tough one with no real right or wrong answer but at 5-1 I think you have to probably run with Dak overall. Not a bad insurance policy having Romo in reserve if it does go tits up, not that there's any real sign of that. Either way that O-Line of Dallas and the way they are playing right now, it's a great situation to be in.

One series and Osweiler already stinks. If you can't do anything against this Colts D it's time to call it a career.

Huge win for the Texans last night, but I think it speaks for the quality of the game that I still feel stupid for getting up early to watch it on replay. It'd be nice if Osweiler turned up in the first 3 quarters, though I think it's just as likely the Colts secondary just broke down in the 4th than he made any sort of mental breakthrough. Great game for Miller though.

 

[Renegade]

Brock Osweiler is the worst starting quarterback in the league, Pagano should be instantly fired for losing a 14 point lead to him last night. $70 million, how did a quarterback's coach like Bill O'Brien become enamoured with this guy?

 

[kieran_vale]

Colts really lost that last night as a result of some bad coaching (not for the first time). There was one play I think in the third quarter where they were fourth and inches but well within FG range to go up 7 points. Normally I give credit to coaches who go for it but not when in that instance you line up in a shotgun formation and Luck promptly gets sacked. Just dumb football.

Good couple of final drives from Osweiler but other than that his accuracy is terrible and he has literally no touch on any of his passes. Not hard to see why he is struggling.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

As if this Jets/Cards game wasn't crappy enough, we now get a bonus First Take bit at half time!

 

[Bobbin']

Other than the 4th quarter, I was watching Brock Osweiler from behind the sofa. So painful to watch.

So frustrating, he then goes on to throw a peach of a 36 yarder to Strong in OT.
