Did seem like that would have been a better option for the Giants. But entirely possible that he's retired or has a very limited number of teams he's willing to play for.

Big Week 3 losses: Seahawks, Pats, Texans, Chargers, Panthers

Wrote two pieces yesterday: - The big losses from five playoff teams in Week 3 www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/... - Taking both sides on the JJ McCarthy trade - why it will work and why it won't www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

The Pats got blown out. The Seahawks lost to a QB2. The Panthers couldn't overcome injuries. The Chargers and Texans fell to 0-3. What now for five of last season's playoff teams?

That could have been a huge play for the Eagles on first down if Hurts had been able to get the ball to Barkley against the blitz.

We're at the point where any time Marvin Harrison makes a catch it gets the "Maybe this will be the turning point he needs!" call

Two offenses where it feels like every series gets to third down and there's no hope of a completion within the structure of the offense for a first down.

3472

This was the dream first-half usage scenario for Bowers. 13 snaps out wide, 14 in the slot, 4 in line, 1 in the backfield. Ran a route on 23 of 25 dropbacks. 7 catches, 9 targets, 87 yards.

Well, the only guy in the stadium who mattered was Demarcus Lawrence (0). And he did not know it was coming.

When you need a first down in the worst way, zone read after you haven't run it all game is always such a great call. Commanders just pulled it off to beat the Seahawks.

"But I signed so many Giants to fix the Titans offense!"

Germie Bernard has two offensive snaps today after dropping a Rodgers pass for an INT last week

Travis Hunter catches on offense: zero Travis Hunter catches on defense: one

Two-possession lead is gone before the end of the first half.

Seahawks RBs have six carries inside the two-yard line this year and have scored exactly zero times. Rest of the league's RBs converting about 50 percent of the time.

7807

Disconnect here between the offensive playcaller (McDaniel) and the guy making the fourth-down decision (Harbaugh). Running on third-and-5 when you're not going to go for it on fourth down is a mess. And field position + "two possession lead" against the Bills offense doesn't matter much.

James Cook has eight fumbles in 18 games (and one snap) since the start of 2025. Becoming a real problem for what would otherwise be one of the league's best backs.

This poor QB throwing a screen when both receivers are decidedly running not a screen

We saw this on Redzone last week, he's just simulating cooling down the field

Will the Ravens run all over the Cowboys? | The Bill Barnwell Show

This week, @natetice.bsky.social and I put together a quick preview of what we expect to see in Ravens-Cowboys (hint: Derrick Henry) youtu.be/KrJX8wkF8AU

Great playcalling from the Falcons. Have dialed up two passes in two situations where everybody thought they would run the ball and hit explosives to London both times.

31338

Thought Drake London looked slower than I might have expected. But it was just that Brandon Cisse nearly hit 22 miles per hour! (21.93)

Not sure the Jordan Love pressure stuff being cited means much beyond every QB getting worse under pressure. He's 6th in QBR when unpressured during his career and 11th when he is pressured.

51138

Packers are down a bunch of linemen and haven't been able to run the ball all season. Five carries for 12 yards so far. For an offense that's predicated on being able to run the ball, just makes life really difficult. Right now it's Jordan Love explosive hunting or bust.

9905

Being down to a bunch of backup offensive linemen hurts on special teams, too

Jake Matthews is off to a very rough start this year.

I've always seen Harry Kane and thought "well he's the next Tony Meola"

Week 2 impact on the NFC: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels hurt

New column: Breaking down a topsy-turvy day in the NFC, including looks at the Commanders, Bears, Saints, Packers, 49ers, Vikings, and Seahawks www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels both got injured. The Packers nearly lost to the Jets. The Saints upset the Ravens. And three teams have a claim as the NFC's best.

Isaiah Likely trying to block Aaron Donald with bad leverage is not going to work for me brother

I don't think I have a strong feeling about whether the Colts should have gone for it on that fourth-and-8!

Ugh - Sam Cosmi has been off to a great start this year and was back to his 2024 pre-ACL tear form.

Brady's said "Oh shit" upon seeing the Jayden Daniels injury and called the throw to Lamb a "piss missile" today.

Chargers were trying so desperately to give the ball to the Raiders and eventually they were going to succeed

1923

49ers have scored five touchdowns on five possessions. They've only faced four third downs all game.

Not great when you make Tom Brady curse on live TV

You typically want someone closer to George Kittle in the end zone than this

At some point we've got to accept that Bucs-Browns is the past and not reopen old wounds

Not sure Shough actually got in on fourth down but he did nearly have his facemask ripped off
