They had some great acts playing at the 'official' tailgate, where the team owners got to invite anyone they wanted to food and entertainment.
I watch plenty of TV, including plenty of sports, and I didn't hear them advertise the Thursday night concert/stream once.
Performing at halftime would have been far better than Maroon 5 IMO, but probably not palatable to the older audience. No complaints from me about Gladys Knight though.
Now if only the 49ers would cooperate and let Robbie Gould go, the Bears would be golden.
Some team will pickup Parkey. And there are always injuries and replacement kickers are needed. Chicago is a tough town.
Kyle Shanahan? I was sitting in back of his dad when the Falcons played the Patriots in the Super Bowl. He left with 5 minutes to go in the game. It seems that Josh McDaniel was calling a pretty good game that day. And the last two years as well. Kyles good but until he beats Josh he can’t be considered the best.
Heck even in the loss to the Eagles. Brady threw for over 500 yards with Edelman out for the year and Gronk busted up. Chris hogan and some backs. That’s coaching.
And I never said Josh was a great head coach. You said “best offensive mind” not best head coach.
And yes Brady is 42 and the receivers aren’t even all pro level. So you are making the point for me.
As the Falcons OC, Shanahan made Matt Ryan into a Pro Bowl QB (I think he declined) and the Falcons offense into one of the top NFL offenses. Look where the Falcons have fallen since Shanahan left. Shanahan expressed regret for his play calling in the Super Bowl. Heck, Jim Harbaugh’s play calling on that final drive in the 49ers’ Super Bowl against the Ravens sucked as well. How about Seattle’s (Darrell Bevell) play call at the goal line against the Patriots a few years ago. Seattle gave away that Super Bowl to the Patriots by not handing off to Marshawn Lynch at the 1.
We all have crappy games, where we’ve played or coached poorly. It happens. But Shanahan’s offense made UDFA Nick Mullens look very, very good last year, after Jimmy G. went down. Daniels has Brady. 8-|
And always liked SF and wish the team well. Also Jimmy G.
Never understood why SF people wouldn’t love Brady. He’s a hometown kid. Excellent role model. Loves his family who still live there and his old coaches from that area. He was a Joe and Steve Superfan and still is. I would love it if a local kid around our area became TB.
But how’s this for a different angle on TB, how pompous does the guy have to be to think his TB12 Purple Carrot meals are meals designed for performance?
OK, GO!
Brady's good and does what he needs to do to keep himself ready for the next game and the next season with a new set of players. I hope Hogan (my fav) stays and maybe that Amendola returns (but Bill doesn't often look back,so I think that's unlikely).
