Five trips to the red zone, three points?

That's a new level of futility.

Clean the house!

(But I will give them this, they didn't quit. One last try for Nagy?)
:lol: You beat me to that, too. I was in the process of posting:

Announcers: Bears and Ravens are the only 2 teams to never fire a coach mid-season.

Ouch.

Then, they ranted about how it was unfair to Nagy to have to face his players a couple of weeks ago after there were internal rumors that he'd be fired. Wait, didn't the announcers just create the same rumor? :roll:

Can't lay all of this on the replacement secondary.

Fields certainly has flashes of brilliance, but I'm not convinced he's a good pocket passer.

Granted, he's got a crap o line and a crap ass coach to overcome also.
Can't lay all of this on Fields.

I THINK Washington grabs it with a win :thumbdown: , but Philadelphia (who I also like) doesn't. I do get this game on Fox. Not being shown here is Seattle 5-8 @LA Rams 9-4. I don't have a preference this year, but it's weird that they scheduled both games at the same time on the same network.

FS1 is showing high ranked college basketball. I guess I can't bitch about that. However, FS2 is showing non-title LUX Fight League - Mexican ultimate fighting. :roll:

Thanks. As he says, NFLN or some other network should get the game then. Sheesh, it's prime time, there's got to be enough money in it to make it work somehow.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson continues to taunt Tom Brady long after Saints' shutout of Bucs

Shutting Tom Brady out wasn't enough for C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

A day after intercepting the seven-time Super Bowl champion in a stunning 9-0 shutout, the New Orleans Saints cornerback was still going after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.

During the game, Brady took out the frustrations of his first shutout loss since 2006 on a sideline tablet (see the video below). On Monday, Gardner-Johnson was kind enough to reach out to Microsoft to see if it could hook up Brady with a new one.



:laughing-rolling:
Microsoft didn't respond.

The well-earned troll job arrived after the Saints held Brady to 214 yards and an interception on 48 pass attempts. They sacked Brady four times and forced a fumble that Brady lost. As previously noted, Gardner-Johnson was responsible for Brady's interception, a fourth-quarter pick that all but ended the game.

He also provided the moment of the game, engaging in some supremely satisfied face time with Brady during a break in play.

Is that taunting?
Since Brady arrived in Tampa, the Saints are 4-1 against the Bucs.
Impressive.
Two of Johnson's four career interceptions have come against Brady this season. Shutting out the Bucs is an outstanding bet for the highlight of the 2021 Saints season.

It's hard to blame Gardner-Johnson for making the most of it.
Funny, but his Saints only managed 3 FGs.

Did you see that INT? Philly TE dropped easy pass, initially ruled incomplete and blown dead. However, it really popped up off the TE's heel, DC INT on video review. First for me. DC TD a few plays later. Would have been a Pick 6 if not blown dead, anyhow. It'll be on YT soon, probably there already.

I didn't have a preference in this game, but it's still sad to see the Seahawks punctuate their crappy season. The 10-4 Rams are the top Wildcard and are nipping at 10-4 Arizona's heels for the Division. I like both.

Nice, 27-17. I never rooted for DC, but I found myself rooting for QB Garrett Gilbert.

Was TX's best high school QB, which is really saying something.
Mixed college career.
30 years old.
Only played in 7 prior NFL games.
Great 2019 with the Orlando Apollos in the Alliance of American Football until the AAF collapsed after 8 games.
Washington Football Team

On December 17, 2021, the Washington Football Team signed Gilbert off the Patriots' practice squad after both Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen were placed on the team's COVID-19 reserve list that same week. With Heinicke and Allen out, Gilbert started against the Philadelphia Eagles on December 21, 2021, just four days after signing with the team.
Even so,
20/31 194 Yds 0 TD 0 Int 81.9 QBRat
:clap:

Minnesota 7-7 stays the #3 Wildcard (I like #4 Philly 7-7 and #5 New Orleans 7-7, too) and 6-8 DC may be out of the playoffs. :thumbup: :thumbup:
