Jeff Blake's parabolic arc bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

Pat McAfee is awesome.
Tweets out to Antonio Brown asking him not to kick him in the face this week.

As far as I'm concerned there are two really good teams in the NFL - Broncos and Ravens - and then everybody else.
Lot of good games this week. ..

Chargers-Broncos should be a good start to the week.
Jay Cutler gets to visit New England ... That'll be fun.
Seahawks and Panthers
Ravens and Bengals rematch
Colts-Steelers
Packers-Saints

and the Redskins QB of the week gets to play Dallas.

Agree about McAfee. He's great on NFL Network. He'll be hired as a broadcaster or analyst the second his career is over.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

Yeah, he'll have no shortage of job offers.


Interesting to see what happens to the Steelers this week. They are known for MNF hangovers. I don't think the season swung last night, but it helped.
If Shazier gets back for Sunday it helps.

Martavis Bryant had a nice debut. The Steelers offense can keep pace with Indy, I think. A win is another question.

The Ravens-Bengals game will be HUGE for Cincy. A loss puts Baltimore well in control of the division. The Bengals? They haven't won in a month!

The Ravens seem to have very quietly had a very good season. Given the way their season started with all the controversy, what they've done is very impressive.

I know we're not quite at the halfway point of the season, but who is your MVP?

I'd probably vote for Rodgers, but I would have no problem with Murray or Watt either.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

Luck

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

I think it's Murrary. Hands down.
Everybody loves running backs.

I am stunned by his rushing record: The first back in NFL history to rush for at least 100 yards in each of the first seven games of a season.

Really? Not Jim Brown? Dickerson, OJ? Wow.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

Based on expectations of how the Cowboys were supposed to be doing, it'd have to be Murray.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

You have to be impressed when the record a guy breaks belonged to Jim Brown.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

Without question. McAfee has always been a fun interview. I wrote about him in high school, when he was already telling people he was going to kick in the NFL.

 

Re: Jeff Blake's parabolic arch bombs to Week 8 of the NFL

McAfee's line after posting the pic is also funny. Says Brown is such a great wide receiver that the Steelers should stop having him returning punts. Especially before the weekend.

Matt Flynn rocked out with Pearl Jam. Hardcore.

Right place right time again -- that guy's Forrest Gump. This time he had the foresight to choose Mookie's #10.
