Yeah I don’t really care for Simms and Nantz. These two have been entertaining tonight. Pats are actually running out the clock for them. Even Belichick knows his team doesn’t have 37 points in 2 minutes in them, I guess. ---

> [@jaycat](#): > > 46-10, wasn’t that the score when the Bears whupped the Pats in the Super Bowl? Indeed. It was at the time the worst blowout in Super Bowl history, later surpassed by the Niners’ 55-10 annihilation of Denver. Josh Allen was a machine today. That was a horrifically lopsided game. ---

To mix sports metaphors a bit, the Bills basically pitched a perfect game against New England > **[Bills become first team in NFL history to pitch a 'perfect' offensive game in...](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-become-the-first-team-in-nfl-history-to-pitch-a-perfect-offensive-game-in-playoff-win-over-patriots/)** > > The Bills didn't punt, kick a field goal, nor turn the ball over in the blowout win No punts, no sacks, no turnovers, no tackles for loss ---

The outcome sucked, but I can’t blame the Bills a bit for running up the score. I think the Pats ran down the clock on that last drive just to make sure the Bills wouldn’t go for another TD. ---

Every time I put the TV on 4K, I’m reminded that a 47" TV just isn’t enough to see any real difference. And unfortunately Fox fixed their broadcast so that the 4K feed actually has commercials now. ---

I believe Simms has been, thankfully, relegated to the studio shows and Nantz is paired with Tony Romo most games. Simms was truly bad. ---

Sending text to Russell Wilson. Asking him to talk with Howie about replacing whatever the heck you call Jalen Hurts at this point. Reagor has got to have the record for most flubbed punt returns in history. He’s fired. Same old same old. To summarize: Fire Reid, bench McNabb. 😁🙄 ---

At least Hurts gets to pad his stats so his play doesn’t look as bad as it was in reality. ---

Indeed so. Romo/Nantz have been the #1 crew at CBS for 4-5 years now. Simms is on the studio shows now, where he’s not great but not bad either. I think they had him call one or two games as a substitute over the last few seasons but definitely not as an active color commentator. ---

Is Romo still on the Cowboys? He’s given up any pretense of impartiality. ---

Is it just me or are there A LOT of penalties being called in the SF Dallas game? ---

Dallas was the most penalized team in the league this season. ---

It’s not just you. 22 penalties so far: 14 on Dallas, 8 on San Francisco. ---

Niners were 19th with 6/game, so they’re on the high end but still within their range. ---

Is it because the teams are committing a lot of penalties, or are the refs calling them aggressively? Either way, it’s making the last few minutes of the game take a long time. ---

They were committing a lot of penalties. A lot of them were false starts and offsides.
