i never rated eli, but yes he did get real hot twice
with the parity in the NFL, it sort of all rides on your QB getting on a hot streak at play off time
joe flacco for the ravens, classic example
apart from those two times i think eli was only a 500 QB
debate at the moment about whether eli should be in the hall of fame
i say no, but his manning name will probably get him therepeyton was in a different class, still couldn't run the ball to save himself, but probably the greatest QB technician ever
if arch can add a running game to peyton's technical ability. . . . .WOW
interesting to see where he eventually ends up, with the Manning mana in the NFL, pretty sure they'll get him to where they want

A week is a long time in the NFL
The high flying saints are held to 12 points and lose to the Eagles.
The fucking Broncos got a win, away at Tampa. And score 26 points!
The Panthers are giving the Raiders a beat down.
The Ravens are back -
The bucs were 2-0 and looking like a surprise package there too.
0-2 rams tip up the 49ers with a slightly absurd come back as well.
Vikings now 3-0 looking like a handful.
-
lol the Ravens only just held on, and aren't doing anything this year based on that (nor are teh Cowboys though)

you've got some pretty significant outs.

Not on defence. Other than Greenlaw - who after an Achilles pop in the Super Bowl likely isn't going to be near 100% when he does come back this year.

Vikings tend to be strong more often than not over the years through a regular season (everyone surprised now by Darnold as JJ's replacement kicking ass), but if they somehow maintain this effort, they still have to get through post season, where ALL Vikings teams fail to get to Valhalla

I should have learned by now not to get too excited after week 1
The 49ers look like they are taking a typical regression following a Super Bowl loss. Their defense has huge issues and they don't really have many big names to come back and fix it.
I seem to recall we started badly last season and then caught fire. Have faith mate

Allen is a stud

Not a single punt in the Bengals-Commanders game! Prime time viewing.
Bengals now have a massive hill to climb. I'd say they're good enough to do it but they've dropped two games that should have been easy wins, so I don't see how you can have any confidence that they'll get things done in any other game an their schedule.
Next up they're off to play the Panthers, and their old friend Andy Dalton. Again, should be an easy win, so I wonder how they'll stuff this one up.

Yeah
Love josh allen
Usually hate QBs
Live to see a pocket passing QB getting cut in half by a D lineman . . . and get loaded on the cart . . . beautiful thing
But allen not only runs the ball . . . he hits it up . . . and drops his shoulder! . . . takes the hit and then trash talks the defence
love it
actually lol with some of his moves
-
notice a few "rugby passes" (what the seppos call them) creeping into the NFL
Amon Ra (Detroit) caught a QB pass then did a lateral to another player who crossed for the TD
Travis Kelce seems to be looking to try this move whenever he has the ball now too
-
The hook and ladder has been around a while, but definitely getting more common as a way to break up defensive patterns.
Will Levis had a crack at an offload and it was a disaster.
One of the issues with creativity in the NFL is that if you lose doing a 'conventional' thing you generally get forgotten and the league moves on. If you try something and it goes wrong then it ends up being repeated for weeks and the media dine out and owners hate a loser, but hate looking foolish even more (as a general rule). Takes a combination of a creative, aggressive coach in a situation where they feel their job is safe to really go for it.
