Safety play on both these teams make ours look like world beaters. That "leap" was embarrassing.
Kerrigan with concussion symptoms. That could be a key loss..
Dang, the end zone seats are empty already.
Weird. It's like the ball was covered in Acid and Philly didn't want to touch it.
RGIII got better from mid 3Q and on. He'll be much better next week.
Skin's secondary is terrible and the Packers have better WR's then Philly does.
Lacy's production will be rather interesting to see. Skins gave up 265 yards rushing tonight. No, I am not expecting that next week but Lacy should fair better.
If GB's run defense continues it's vast improvement, this becomes a vertical game. Will Burnett be back? Will safety play improve?
Moving along to the late game....
Is anybody listening to Berman try to do play-by-play? Man he is so monotone & boring. He's terrible. Dilfer is ok at color
Berman is turrible. Wish someone in Bristol had the stones to tell him no more play by play.
Listening to tunes instead of play by play. Didn't give ESPN a chance to aggravate me any more tonight (Not a Gruden fan).
****ing Dilfer trying to convince the viewing audience that Rivers is some sort of an elite quarterback. Save it dumdum.
Man, just got home from work, and wow, I am a bit surprised regarding the games thus far tonight. I thought the Texans and Redskins were a heck of a lot better!

Those were the exact words I chose to describe Berman's play by play: monotonous and boring. Half the time I can't understand what he's saying because he's mumbling. I can't tell if he's trying to describe what he's seeing to the audience, or if he's quietly talking to some assistant that's come up to him.
His personality is completely over the top and obnoxious when he's reading from a script. When he has to use his brain to choose the words, he's a yammering fool.
I have Houston's defense going tonight, and I'm getting hammered by a Charger offense that was awful last year. This is just the icing on the cake this weekend. After my opponent smacked me around with Kaepernick yesterday afternoon, and David Wilson fumbled away my lead last night losing to the Cowboys...I'm in a world of hurt.
I think I'm actually hearing some emotion in Bermans voice in this 2nd half. Think someone from Bristol phoned in & told him to "turn up the heat" a little?
Maybe so, Boris. I tweeted ESPN a few times that Berman was putting me to sleep. If you and I saw (er, heard it), I imagine somebody at the network heard it, too.
He is definitely a little more energized in the second half.
ESPN is awful. Forget their never ending bias for whatever team is the 'flavor of the month' they're just bad at covering sports and the NFL in particular.
NFLnetwork has former players and Hall of Famers analyzing games, ESPN has Herm Edwards and Matt Hasselbeck's brother.
I'd be fine if Dilfer never says "dropping a dime" when the QB throws the ball again.
SD can change the coach, the staff, the unis. But the players that have been around for a while cant believe they're getting close to blowing another huge lead.
Edit....Huge lead officially blown. Nice pass Rivers.
J.J. Watts' arms can't be that big naturally, can they?
Rivers=AFC's version of VaJayJay.
ESPN had one decent analyst in Jaws and got rid of him for reasons no one will ever understand. Berman was awful.
Playing against RGIII in FF this week and his last TD cost me a win this week
He looked rusty but you can see that he can make a lot of plays and put up a lot of points.
Washington doesn't possess the defense or the OL that the Niners do, but they are still a good team and GB is going to have to play well to beat those guys.

Can they hire Gus Johnson please? Since I don't watch MNF on ESPN, I won't have to hear him there, and I certainly wouldn't have to hear him trying to do Champions Legaue games any more.

You mean former players and Hall-of-Famers also? Tim Hasselbeck played at least four years and Herm Edwards was a starter in the league for a friggin' DECADE aside from being a pro Head Coach. Emmitt Smiff and others sure have the look of Cantonites.
When too many fans stop caring about name recognition and more about quality then the announcers will be better.
