1) On Sunday afternoon Cheap Tarik Cohen Jersey , the New Orleans Saints, led by quarterback Drew Brees,s Rams 45-35. During that game, while watching Brees do his usual video-game numbers thing, I started to wonder why he’s rarely in the discussion for one of the best of all time. I get the ring thing, he only has one, so Tom Brady and Joe Montana edge him there, but should Brees be above Aaron Rodgers? What about Peyton Manning or Brett Favre? Brees, like Rodgers and Favre “only” has one ring, and then there’s the whole dome thing, but Manning played 130 games in a dome or retractable roof stadium to 135 of them for for Brees. So where would you put Brees when discussing the all-time greats?2) I’m usually all for a good celebration after a touchdown, but don’t go so far that it gives your team a penalty. The NFL relaxed their celebration rule, but it’s not a free-for-all. Sticking a prop under the goal post is still a no-no. What Michael Thomas did was funny, but giving away 15 yards on a kickoff is no laughing matter for coaches. “I wasn’t all that fired up about the penalty,” Saints’ head coach Sean Payton said. “We’ll get that all figured out and handled Cheap Roquan Smith Jersey , but he had a good game.”My guess is he, nor any other Saints, ever do this again this year.3) When it comes to celebrations, I wonder how long it took to rehearse this one.Even though Seattle’s celebration was well done, they still lost to the Los Angeles Chargers, who are 6-2 and right on the (7-1) Chiefs’ heels for the AFC West lead. The Chargers have won 5 straight games with three winnable games up next before a showdown with the Steelers in Pittsburgh on December 2nd. Their rematch against the Chiefs will come two weeks after that one. 4) Philip Rivers has now started 200 consecutive games at QB for the Chargers which puts him in elite company. Only Brett Farve (297), Eli Manning (210) and Peyton Manning (208) have more consecutive starts than Rivers. 5) The Pittsburgh Steelers have won 4 straight after a rocky start, and now they seemed primed to get holdout, and franchise tagged Le’Veon Bell back for their offense before the November 13th deadline to get paid for this season. How big a boost will Bell give them as they try to stay on top of the AFC North?6) The Atlanta Falcons have won three straight and have climbed back into the wildcard discussion. Key to their rebound from a 1-4 start is the play of quarterback Matt Ryan, who hasn’t throw for less than 350 yards in any of their last three games.7) Speaking of good QB play, did you see what Nick Mullens did on Thursday night?Wait a minute, let me back up... Did you know that Mullens was the starter at QB for the 49ers?In his debut game, the former UDFA from Southern Miss went 16 of 22passing for 262yards and 3 TDs. We are living in the golden age of quarterbacking!Or are we...8) From CBS Sports, “after throwing 3 INT and 0 TD today, Nathan Peterman’s career QB Rating IMPROVED from 20.8 to 30.7. “And then there’s this nugget on Peterman.More from Veronica Cheap Mitchell Trubisky Jersey , “Peterman got picked off three times today and his career interception percentage went DOWN, from 11.1% to 9.2%.”I have no idea who this guy is that wrote this, but...9) The Dallas Cowboys are a mess, and I’m here for it. Hall of Famer, and Cowboy legend Troy Aikman recently gave his take on his former employer and he did not hold back. After going through the list of coaches the team has had since their last Super Bowl win, he said this;Aikman points to the failures of ownership and does not hold back in the interview. Check it out in the link for more of the dysfunction. 10) For the 30th straight year, the Chicago Bears are holding their Jewel-Osco coat drive to benefit The Salvation Army. The coat drive is headed up by long time, head equipment manager Tony Medlin, and they are setting a goal to collect 25,000 new or gently used coats. All the info can be found in the video below, and you can also visit the Salvation Army website right here. 10a) I wanted to pass on one more item for a good cause that was started up by one of our long time readers. It’s a ticket resale site, but a portion of all sales go to charity, plus there are no service fees.Check out TixBlitz for all the info, but here are the charities you can give to when you buy. Menelik Watson's time in Denver is over because he's hurt and buried on the depth chart.The Broncos placed Watson on IR Monday with a chest injury and intend to release him once he's healthy. That means the Broncos will take a $6.83 million salary cap hit this year.Coach Vance Joseph said Billy Turner, Elijah Wilkinson and Max Garcia have all had good training camps while Watson's been in the trainer's room."It's hard to make a football team injured and you've got three or four guys behind you playing good football Youth Cody Parkey Jersey ," Joseph said. "So, it wasn't about fit. It was more about Billy and Eli playing good football. And Max Garcia. Max is having a hell of a camp. He's playing more like a starter. So, it's more about those guys than it was Menelik not being a fit."With the acquisition of ninth-year veteran Jared Veldheer this offseason, Watson was moved to backup guard after playing in just seven games as Denver's starting right tackle last season.Watson, whose $5.5 million salary for 2018 was guaranteed in March, didn't play in either of the Broncos' preseason games this summer after getting hurt in training camp.As part of a plan to toughen up the trenches, the Broncos signed the athletic Watson to a three-year, $18.375 million contract last year even though his four seasons in Oakland were marred by calf and groin injuries and a ruptured Achilles tendon that sidelined him all of 2015.His long history of injuries wasn't a red flag for Denver, Joseph said last year, explaining that most of Watson's injuries were soft tissue types and "those things are preventable."After averaging just 6.75 games a year with the Raiders, Watson played in seven games for Denver last year before going on IR with a torn foot tendon. He also was bothered by a strained calf early in the season.Born in Manchester, England, Watson began his collegiate career playing basketball at Maris College before transferring to Saddleback Junior College in 2011 and playing football for the first time. He played one season at Florida State in 2012 and the Raiders selected him in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft.FLAG FOOTBALLHalfway through the preseason, Joseph said his coaches and players are no clearer about what constitutes a foul under the league's renewed emphasis on eliminating helmet hits .He suggested some of the flags that were thrown Saturday night in the Broncos' loss to the Bears were actually clean hits that were incorrectly penalized in a game that featured 28 fouls for 293 yards ."It's really gray right now and I think they're calling it conservatively because they want to get it right. They want to change the behavior, but the problem I'm having with the call right now is it's been bang-bang plays and it's hard to tell if the head's hitting the body Youth Eddie Goldman Jersey ," Joseph said."And that's the rule, right? It's not about if the head's down. If it hits the body, that's the penalty. So, with (rookie cornerback Isaac Yiadom), his head was down but it didn't hit the body. It was placed to the side of the receiver and it was shoulder on the body — not a foul."Joseph said Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller's flag for hitting Broncos fullback Andy Janovich wasn't a foul, either."It was head down but shoulder hit the pad. Not a foul," Joseph said. "The foul is when the head hits the body. And that's what we have to be careful of. But it's hard to tell because you tackle with your shoulder but it's led by the head. So, it's hard to officiate that really cleanly. So, we'll see how it shakes out but right now it's gray for us and the players."Janovich lowered his helmet and ostensibly could have been whistled for a 15-yarder himself."I don't know, I mean he's defending himself," Joseph said. "Fuller's a cornerback coming to hit him and what's he going to do? Keep his head up and take it in the chin? So, he drops his shoulder. The head's attached to the shoulder. The head's going to drop."Joseph had a friendly suggestion for officials ."We have to be careful. We have to use common sense. We know what spearing looks like. So, call spearing. But don't call good football tackles," Joseph said.
