This is the least intimidating Chiefs team of recent years. They may be 9-1, but they got very lucky to not be 7-3 and Mahomes leads the NFL in interceptions since the start of last season. My main concern is not about them, it's about the health of our roster when we play them. We have been cursed where we were missing key players where the lack of having those players very directly led to our losses to KC in 2021 (Tre White) and 2023 (Our LB's mainly, but also the Ghosts of Von and Tre didn't help). If we are at or near full strength, we will beat them and beat them decisively no matter where we play.

All good, and while I agree with you about "hanging" something representing a black guy as if he is being "hung" is over the line...this is not what this was at all. He was suspended in the air, not hung like a noose, much like a pinata would be. There is a massive difference and this was an example of the public and media making it mean something it doesn't.

It’s honestly embarrassing how soft and toxically outraged society has become. I mean it’s sports rivalries…it’s as close to anything goes as it gets. It’s sports banter which is the basis of why sports are as big as they are. To take it serious is just a silly concept. Dont get me wrong, there are still lines that you can’t cross that go too far, but those are blatantly obvious and have more literal meanings and interpretations (like using racial slurs for example). At this point I almost root for people to do and say things that get the “outrage police” out in full force just to troll them. And he does sound like Kermit, so this was funny.

While there is no way I would hire him, it’s probably the best fit for Rex if he was to get back into coaching. They have some pieces on D and some young weapons especially at RB while the new GM looks for a QB. Hope it happens, will make for some good entertainment lol

I agree, we are certainly SB contenders...but Allen is far from a "lock" for MVP. He is, and should be, the betting favorite and front runner right now, but its a narrow lead. But any hiccup and he will fall back behind again on any given week.

To beat the Lions we are going to need to win in the trenches

Its criminal how McD is not getting COY consideration, and he has been screwed twice before too. Campbell a heavy fave over him is a joke, they are doing what was expected of them while McD and the Bills are grossly outperforming expectations and with a lot of injuries too. Tomlin deserves his consideration, but what is wild is that he deserves it for a lot of the same reasons McD deserves it, yet one is +300 and the other is +2500. More wild is McD has dealt with more adversity through injuries thus far too and is playing a tougher schedule.

Again, I said it wasn't about draft compensation but you keep bringing up draft compensation. Really no reason to keep discussing a what if scenario that didn't happen in the first place.

SHOCKER! **said no one ever**

It wasn't about the draft compensation, it was what they were owed the rest of the season. He was never trading for Hopkins or Adams (unless Raiders were eating his contract, which they weren't). I will give you Diontae though as possibility as Carolina gave him away for free eating his salary for just a 17 pick improvement in a later round pick swap. But I was never sold Beane would have been interested in DJ from a character standpoint or fit.

It was maybe his best game as a Bill

I didn't spin anything, and I didn't say it was just because it was "convenient". But, I 100% guarantee you that if Cleveland does not agree to the Cooper deal then Beane doesn't make a trade for any of the other guys who were traded. Beane himself even discussed how Coopers contract made it possible for them to pursue him, and its why they were the ones pursuing Cooper from Cleveland who was initially not interested in shopping or trading him.

Houston had one problem - Josh Allen. Was his worst game since maybe his first start as a rookie. The opportunities were there, he was just off most the game in a big way. I think maybe the Diggs thing just got into his head more than he wanted to let happen and he just couldn't find his rhythm and was pressing too much. Balt I think was more it was a short week for us, we had injuries, we had been rolling and went into a hostile environment where they were in about as close to a must win game Balt could be in that early in the season. Just one of those games, and I am sure the Henry big run to start just kind of set them back on their heals a bit.

Still you are making this about Keon being the guy or not though, and it wasn't. Many people, and I would say you too, spoke about and criticized Beane and the WR group as if Beane was totally done at WR. It was never he was done, it was we had $31M in dead money at WR, and he had an entire roster to fill out in what was a transition year. Beane has also repeatedly said there will never be a year they are "not" trying to win it all. When the team showed it had a legitimate chance to compete for a SB this year and that coincided with an affordable veteran coming available, he was obviously going to be interested. And a major reason we made the move for Cooper was because of his contract at that point in the season too. So no, I don't agree that the situation was similar with KC and us. KC had a slew of injuries, doesn't matter how good or bad Worthy was, they needed to make a move to get another healthy quality player as they were back to using a bum like Skyy Moore the week before DHop. And in Buffalo, it wasn't that Keon had not become the man, it was that Beane saw an opportunity to add to our team under our current cap situation that could help this team compete for a SB this season.

I wasn't trying to make it sound like it was all everyone elses fault. I am saying its pretty evident Allen isn't looking at him much as there have been a number of times Samuel was open and Allen went somewhere less optimal. They also did use Samuel more aggressively yesterday too. So will we continue to see Samuel used in similar fashion moving forward is part of the equation, and a bigger part of the equation IMHO. Or was his usage more a just a function of who was not on the field this week.
