Are Amos and Gould (not gold) the last two Paterno-coached players in the NFL?

I gave Shanny crap for his first half clock management, however, he nailed it in the last drive.
The third down run call to Deebo was brilliant. Not because it worked, but due to time management concerns. If they throw it on third and miss, they probably have to punt. If they run it and don't get it, they can bleed to clock to about 20 before calling TO and then going for it on fourth. Worse case scenario is that GB gets ball back with 15 seconds and no TOs..

on the Pack's last possession they never attempted to run with 4:41 left. put it all on Rodgers. wound going nowhere and punted back to 9ers with 3min left.

A little update regarding todays games.
1) The LA Rams vs. TB Bucs line has remained virtually unchanged at TB -3. Last Saturday the line opened at TB -3.5

2) The KC vs. Buffalo line over the past week has dropped considerably to KC -1. Last Saturday the line opened at KC -3

pretty cool. Wonder what would have happened if Joe Burrow would have stayed at tOSU and fought it out with Fields for the starting QB. He certainly looks a lot better than Justin now. Wow - Cincy has a real QB, which shows the impact of that position.
Joe Burrow is a better QB than Justin Fields. In my opinion it’s not even close and I’ll tell you why. Unlike college, NFL GM’s, Coaches and OC focus on a different set of skills. Yes, being athletic is important but there is profoundly more emphasis put on other skills. It starts with pocket presence, footwork, arm strength, hand eye coordination, accuracy and the ability to lead. Tom Brady checks all the boxes. I’m not sure if Joe Burrow is the next Tom Brady, but I think we can all agree that his performance yesterday was very impressive. Watch out for Mac Jones next year.

Rams vs. Bucs on NBC now. Stafford, who won his first career playoff game last week, vs. Brady, who’s owned the playoffs the last 20 years.

I just now turned it on and pow TD Rams. It’s 10-0.
Nice throw, actually. Most qbs would have lofted it at least a tad, not Stafford. A line drive, fast but not hard, perfect location. Wow, great pass.

damn, 70-yard catch & run by the Rams.

After the PAT, it's 17-3, Rams, with 14:17 left in the 1st half

Brady way way off today. He’s actually looking like a 44 year old QB. You know what they say, father time is the enemy none of us can beat.
