But serial, the chargers usually start off OK and don't really suck until October.

Brady will need to pass and pass a ton, methinks.

29-3.... what a shellacking! Seattle is the big boss in the NFC right now, no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, the QB SF got rid of is 2-0 (lmao)!

OK...I gotta say it - camera-work, both NFL and college.
Did all the camera guys in the world go to the same camera school and learn from the same camera teacher?
.
QB throws a TD, team members gather in the end zone...I want to watch the team members celebrate w/each other. But NO, the camera shows the lunatic fans.
WTF is so important about the fans? They're insignificant at that pt.
.
K...done.

The director chooses the shots. In the NFL, there are camera people covering both.

Oh, you know, you're right.
Well, damn those directors, then.

How about P. Manning last nite?
A graduate degree in offensive attack, eh?
I watched the after-game shows and apparently Manning takes control of most of the meetings and handles the clicker as he gives feedback and instructions to his team mates AND some coordinators.
From the sounds of things, he's one of the most respected football minds in the entire universe...and beyond.
.
BTW, on one play, he almost ran out of time giving new and then changing his own plays at the line - players flying all over the place.
I sat up and thought, "What the hell is he doing?!"
Well, long story short, he threw the ball for a 20 yard gain, and when he was walking up to the huddle, he looked over at the sidelines and smirked as if to say, "How did you like THAT one, eh?"
.
I rewound it and watched several times and I was amazed at his aplomb.
The guy will be a legend!
.
BTW, Raiders were asked about playing against Manning and to a person they all said that he is one of a kind - like no other QB, ever!
.
Wonder what he'll be involved in after football.
