The Commanders get to the NFCC with a new owner... a new GM... a new Head Coach and a rookie QB. Jets can't wipe their own ass without getting shit on their hands...
I'm not even sure that really matters. It's not as if there weren't a number of controversies revolving around issues related to "the integrity of the game" concerning the Patriots dynasty.
Daniels is the best rookie QB I've ever seen. What stands out the most is despite how well he runs, he never runs backward. If there's pressure, he steps up in the pocket, or he tucks and runs forward. Incredible to watch.
I think Detroit missed their window yesterday. This was their year. Didn't even show up to play in their first playoff game. I'm not high on Goff. I feel bad for Lions fans. It's only going to get more difficult. Philly is always there it seems. And holy crap Jayden Daniels in Washington looks like the real deal. The Falcons collapse in the Super Bowl is unforgettable but to get a lead that large on the Belichick-Brady Patriots was unheard of in those days. Before his team ran out of gas Quinn and co. badly outcoached Belichick and co. He got the Commanders turned around in no time. I don't think the Commanders are beating the Eagles (yes I feel the Eagles will beat the Rams today) they definately have a shot to do it. I wouldn't be shocked. Imagine the Commanders steal a SB title in Quinn-Daniels first year there? Wow.
Baltimore-Buffalo is too difficult to call. I think Baltimore has the better team but Buffalo is home. I wouldn't be shocked if Baltimore wins but have to go with Buffalo only because they're home if the game were in Baltimore I'd go with the Ravens. I also feel that the Chiefs would beat Buffalo at Arrowhead in a revenge game. Baltimore would pose a more difficult challenge because of Henry.
I agree on all fronts. Baltimore has studs all over, Buffalo doesn’t. Baltimore should not lose this game. I think if Buffalo wins, they lose to KC but if Baltimore wins they beat KC.
The only thing worse is the moron DC's that continue to refuse to bump Kelce at the line or double him. They literally have no decent receivers besides him. No one game plans for Worthy who imho is a 1 trick pony and D Hop is hanging by a thread.. Stop Kelce and Texans win easily even with the awful refs.
You were expecting a down year this year for Buffalo. Who do you think stepped up more? Your HC, your DC or OC?
Seeing Mahomes running the ball and waiting until the last possible millisecond before being hit to flop, knowing its nearly impossible for him to not get a "roughing" call. This is on the NFL and the refs, but he is clearly using it in ways that should never impact the outcome of a football game. I used to really like the guy but I can barely stand him or the Chiefs anymore. If Buffalo wins today I'll actually be rooting for Buffalo next week, because at least there not the entitled Chiefs. Also, and this is a long time coming. When the QB crosses the LOS, there should be no special rules for how and when they can be hit. Its just so lame.
There’s no reason other than nefarious deep state type reasons that “helmet to helmet” isn’t reviewable in the NFL. College football has nailed this minus tossing guys out of the game. Just fucking review it. It’s too obvious on TV when it’s a missed call. I’ve also long thought that face masks and other stuff like that (maybe roughing the passer as well?) should not be automatic first downs. Give them yardage but replay the down. It doesn’t affect the outcome of the play at all and I hate seeing a 3rd and 24 draw that goes for 6 yards result in a first down because someone accidentally tugged the facemask.
ANYONE but the Chiefs - absolutely anyone - and I will be happy - they are up there with the Patriots at this point in terms of how sick I am of them (as a neutral)
Bears fans must be feeling a bit sick - there was no way the FO could pick anyone but Caleb going into that draft but wow they must be wishing they could get a do-over.
