Ugh. Ronald Darby screwed up and gave the Pats 50 yards. Pats are great at taking advantage of mistakes. ---

This is turning out to be a kicking comedy of errors. ---

Great stop by McLeod. Not sure he’s coached to put his helmet right into the leaping runners junk, but it worked. ---

> [@madsircool](#): > > Bud Platinum 😛 How does that work, anyway? First we make a light beer with no flavor or alcohol, then we add in some grain alcohol to create something that’s nasty AND gets you drunk? I’m an IPA guy generally, but I’m with Guinness because this is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m going to drink a fixed number whether they’re 4% or 8% ABV. ---

Im not impressed by the defenses so far. Lots of chunk plays being given up. ---

I’m really impressed by the Eagles D so far. They’ve let a few big plays so far, but they’re getting consistent pressure on Brady, have held firm in the red zone, and have stopped Gronk. ---

Two not-really-football-related comments: (1) The long-legged dancing lady from the Diet Coke with Mango ad barely looks real. How are her legs so long? (2) Speaking of barely looking real, the CGI “hologram” images of the two quarterbacks they use for stats are HIDEOUS. Uncanny valley city. ---
