Mac Brown with High Praise for Eli and Pitt

Said Eli is a special qb. Came out of nowhere and was fifth string at Bama. Said that tells you how good Bama is

He said the reason they went for all those fourth downs is because they didn’t think they could stop Pitts offense because Eli is that good. They made that decision coming into the game

Said Pitt is the best team they played by far

As an aside my wife got to know Mac when he was at ESPN. She said he’s a really good guy. You can see it in this interview.

OT: the nfl is boring

I mean it just can’t match the drama of what happened yesterday. It also helps that on a Saturday I have nearly 100’s of games to watch with 6-7 on cable tv plus all the streaming games at one time.

But there is just nothing the nfl can do to replicate vandy vs bama, or when Pitt beat Clemson or 13-9. You just can’t. Plus it feels like everyone in the nfl runs a variation of similar offenses,..nothing at all like this Kade bell offense.

I know it’s personal opinion, but I just find the whole thing bland

Watched the replay this AM

Few things I think I think--

OL and DL are improving.

Holstein is improving with game experience.

Good road win in a tough venue.

The score was closer than it should have/could have been---No Pic 6 by UNC in red zone in the 1st quarter, given PItt's then field position, and the final score could have been either 37-17 or 41-17 depending on whether a PItt FG or TD would have been scored on that drive.

OT : Flacco and other NFL nuggets week 5

I had a real bone to pick with Poni and Mueller on the Fan last week. Sometimes they act like they are the know all be all when it comes to football. Actually, they do all the time.

In any event an older yinzer called the show and said that the Steelers should have signed Flacco as their backup and they mocked and made fun of the guy. Why? Not because his salary alone is more than what the Steelers are paying all 3 of their guys…but because he stinks and no other team offered Flacco $40 million to be their starter.

I didn’t agree with the old guy, but I thought the radio hosts were completely wrong and unfair with the things they were saying about Flacco. Because in my opinion, the only reason Flacco isn’t getting paid is because he's 39. If he were 29, he’d have every team in the league without a franchise QB salivating over him. A QB that plays like him and is 29 would have an 300 million dollar payday. Ignore his age and just look at his play…he’s really really good. And he’s showing it again today. He’s like 9-1 in his last 10 starts. If you have to wins game or two, I’d take him in a heartbeat.
