And it ends on about the worst onside kick attempt in NFL history which also results in Patrick Chung getting hurt.

Brady looked like he might be nursing something.  Something just looked off in his throws.  Everyone, even him, is allowed an off day, but there were a number of throws that we're just off, or the ball came out weird.  I'm not even sure how to explain it.  His OL and WRs played like crap, but even in his exceptionally rare off days I don't think I've seen his throws look not sharp.

he's missed practice all week, supposedly nursing some kind of achilles injury.
and yeah that onside kick attempt was weak. that was literally the worst onside kick attempt I have ever seen.

Did some guy more or less whiff an on side recently in an effort to be clever and conceal his kicking direction?  That might have been the one worse than that one.

Yeah, someone tried a scissor kick and basically whiffed.

I wonder what the deal was with that onside kick... I think I can see what they were trying to do--get the ball into a scrum where you have 11 players and the receiving team has only about 4-5. If the defender isn't able to drop on it and immediately secure it, you have numbers. And if the defender touches it first before 10 yards, and you rip it away from him, it doesn't even need to go 10 yards. They just need to touch it first. 

But I've never seen anything like it before.

I noticed that too. Brady's looked like a 40 year trying to tough it out. But the bigger deal, I'm guessing, is that Brady is in fact hiding something, as the Patriots have a history of doing, with Brady especially.

Tommy Nobis passed away yesterday.Perhaps one of the best LB's to play the game.According to the USA Today he averaged 21 tackles a game his rookie season.They made a great point Nitchke played on great teams.Butkus was hell on the run.Nobis could crash the L.O.S. or drop back in coverage and do both equally well.Unfortunately he played on some dismal squads in Atlanta.Can't believe he's not in the H.O.F. RIP Tommy

That is hilarious. It's terrible and totally immature and inexcusable. But still downright hilarious. Bitch I got lawyer money. Lmao. Who says that?

Down 29-34, Giants had four plays inside Eagles ten to take the lead with less than a minute left, and yet they find a way to blow another game.

I'm not sure anyone appreciated how valuable Shazier was as the QB of the Steelers defense.  They were one of the best with him, and they have been downright lousy without him.

No way no how should Kizer see the field the rest of the season.He is an idiot pure and simple,an idiot.QB's in pick up games don't throw into double/triple coverage,repeatedly week after week.Pathetic I mean pathetic,fire Hue now if he even tosses the idea around

Freaking NE is amazing,what a pitch-catch Brady to Gronk and they get the two point.Pats get 11 pts in 3 min.
