Case Keenum isn't getting it done. If only there were a vet QB former starter who would put the Vikings in a better position than they are in with dreck at backup QB. Vikes defense is not impenetrable, but Steelers have some weapons.

At 37, @tonyromo is younger than both starting quarterbacks (Tom Brady, 40 and Drew Brees, 38) of his game today.

I would recommend viewing any game with Romo/Nantz on CBS. They haven't drilled the former football player out of him and its all routes/patterns, time in pocket and offensive personnel setups. He is claiming without Edelman and versus the Sants, the Patriots have pulled out the old Charlie Weis/Ron Erhardt offense from the first Super Bowl wins (lots of fullback/Burkhead).

Lotta fun to listen to. he doesn't have a big announcer voice so you have to listen closely.

Aaron Schatz, a Patriots fan an Football Outsiders owner and editor, says Romo is full of crap:

Aaron Schatz @FO_ASchatz
No disrespect to Tony Romo but the Pats have run more 2-TE and more FB than most teams for a few years now. It's not the 2001 offense.

To be fair to Romo, I took his comments to mean mostly that they were running more. But subsequent offensive series have been pretty pass happy.

Completely agree with this. Romo is giving keen QB insight in his analysis and not dumbing it down. A newbie to the game (think the casual or less fan at Super Bowl viewing parties) would have no idea what he's talking about. Those that follow the game closely... it's delightful and refreshing.

He's gotten a little careless as the game has gone on, but its still refreshing even when he might be misreading it. At least the X and O is getting a discussion.

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, Vikes D adjusted and has stopped Ben and Co cold after they hit 20 points. But the offense is in reverse.

Comment woodbuck27:

"Wow. C'mon ESPN, pairing Beth Mowins with Rex Ryan is setting her up for failure--or should I say, setting her up WITH failure?" @DavesData posted.

Thank goodness that Romo doesn't have a voice like the woman they teamed up with Rex Ryan or Beth Mowins and a 'finger nails on a chalkboard' comparison of her voice, would be a compliment.

Does Beth hang around 'Sexy' Rex too much?



IMO it's Tony Romo and a 'cake walk' over Rex Ryan and their NFL broadcasting debuts.

"You can tell Rex Ryan has not done this before," @walkerRcarey wrote.

"Even Jeb Bush thinks Rex Ryan is surprisingly low energy as a color commentator," @erichustedt wrote.
