Week 2 Other Games Thread

Brady had a bad day at the plate, but he's the best defender at his position in history.

Tua is good at managing the offense, moving in the pocket, and has good composure. But he will always be limited by his weak arm. He underthrew Hill on the 48 yard TD, but got lucky because Peters didn't play the ball. He lobs balls to the sideline which is going to generate interceptions in the long-term. Watching the difference between Tua and Lamar in the same game was just jaw-dropping the kind of arm some NFL QBs have, but Tua is not among them.

NFL refs really do hate the Saints.

Hunter Renfrow with fumbles on back to back receptions in overtime, the second of which was returned for a touchdown in overtime. Shades of rookie James Jones against the Bears.

Kumerow is looking good tonight.

The Eagles O Line is handling the Vikings tonight. Eagles D is using man coverage, not a lame ass Joe Barry zone to stop the Vikings passing game.

Have not seen Harrison Smith get smoked that bad before. I've seen him get beat, but never like that.

PHI/MINN

Another example of what happens after week 1 when teams have some film on their opponents.

Any doubt the best QB/WR tandem in the NFL is Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs!

Yep. Few, if any teams have looked great both weeks. Probably just Buffalo.

[George Cumby]

Maybe Barry can learn from the Eagles DC and roll his best cover man on the opposing team's best receiver.

Slay has been dominant.

[smuggler]

Shame the Iggles couldn't get one more pick off Cousins at the end there. Would have been neat.

Too early to do playoff standings thread, but Packers have the 7th seed. 11 teams in NFC are 1-1.

What a cop-out.

Jordy begs to differ

Harrison Smith is 33 and they've been playing safeties deeper than under Zimmer. I think Smith is still very good but probably better as he gets closer to the LOS. I don't know if he still has the speed to race from deep middle to the sideline consistently. Then again, it's Donatell and Pettine running the D so who knows (not that Barry is great).

[smuggler]

I don't get the Donatell and Pettine hate. They honestly aren't bad.
