Penn Staters everywhere tonight Cowboys v Bucs
- Thread starter LionsandBear
- Start date
This version of the National Anthem sounds like something straight out of an animated Disney movie
I've found myself becoming much more of a fan of PSU players in the NFL than of the NFL itself.
Godwin with the first TD of the NFL season
The stillers should have drafted Godwin over JuJu. Don’t see him walking on milk crates.
McGovern just got some praise for his play tonight.
Nevertheless, Godwin is one of the Tampa Bay heroes now with the huge catch on the final drive...redemption is obviously a powerful sports narrative.

Same as I said at the time — good riddance.
I think Parson is just relying on his pure athletic ability because the D-Coordinator seems to be lousy. Is this the same D-Coord that Lee had said was making stupid calls? Think what Parsons could be with a good defensive coach? (I didn't look anything up but TB would have crushed the Cowgirls if it wasn't for the 4 turnovers)
+1. I don't know what their DC plan was with Parsons but it didn't look good.
On the other hand I thought Dak looked great and Dallas is much better than I thought they were.
Brady is GOAT.
Yeah, a surprisingly entertaining and good game. Dallas may well push people in the NFC-E.
Yep, glad to get rid the jerk. It is possible he will turn into a decent human being under Brady’s tutelage but that was never going to happen with Tomlin, Ben, and the Rooneys.
He seemed lost and confused. Not very aggressive. Didn’t attack the offense at all. Probably be still adjusting to the pros and still learning a new defensive scheme.
Also, was in pass coverage most of the time since Brady threw so much. Not sure his pass coverage is his strength.
Why is everyone surprised by Dallas.. When healthy they have a possible top 5 QB who can sling it, a very good back in Zeke, a good line, and two very good WR in Lamb and Cooper. The problem could be stopping teams. They may be involved in some very high scoring games.
Wow. One stinking game against the defending Super Bowl Champs who have all 22 of last year’s starters back. Parsons was the best defensive player in the draft and that will be demonstrated as his career progresses.
Their ol is actually not that good, particularly taking into account their proclivity for untimely holding penalties. Their D is just too young. Zeke has been a great QB, and it was nice to see him stake an early claim for comeback player of the year, but boy, lotsa uncertainty there.
Probably because their OL isn't as good as it was in the past. But more so their QB was coming off a horrible injury. So yes I am surprised.
Connor McGovern looked good though imho...although ironically he may be the one who gets relegated to second string with the return of Zack Martin smh 🤦♂️
The guy has never played without a HoF QB. When he had to play with Landry Jones, gatorade coolers were on notice.

Former Penn State LB Terry Killens was the official, who left his mic on during that offsetting penalty in the 2nd quarter last night. I forgot Killens became a NFL official in 2019.
I agree. I focused on him more than the others and he looked like he belonged in the starting rotation. Hopefully he gets his chance to prove it sooner rather than later.
In defense of the Parsons Project.......he didn’t play linebacker in high school. Switched to LB as a freshman and played but never started. Then started as a sophomore. Then sat out the Covid infected junior year and went pro.
So he played less than two full years at LB and played his first pro game against the greatest QB to ever play the game.

I'm a strange NFL fan in that I grew up near Philly but had Giants season tix in our family. My dad refused to take me to the Vet. Loved the Vermeil Eagles. Jumped off of that wagon when Buddy came to town.
When I got married my wife was less accepting of all weekend football games than my mom was. In fact she gave the the option of Saturday OR Sunday. I took Saturday with the variable of 1 PSU game per year live and final say on ANY Saturday plans (weddings, family parties, even funerals etc) in the Fall.
By necessity I learned to root for PSU players over teams- and I do my best to track the box scores and highlights.
It has really worked out rather well. I guess I'm an Eagles fan b/c it makes people around me happy when they win. But if Saquon runs for 200 yards and 3 tds on them I'm ok with that.
