Does anyone know if the Chiefs Sunday game will be a day time game or prime time slot? Have they said the time yet?

oh my bad, thought you were referring this upcoming game.

Well he wasn’t wrong until this year about calling Lamar the best QB in the draft.

But it can’t be moved to then, Titans can’t play a game on back to back days. Player safety still has to be considered.

Always said: You cant fix stupid.

No.

Yeah, it’s definitely close. My reply was prior to last nights game too. It’s a 3 man race between these 3 guys right now. Mahomes and Kamara I think round out the top 5.

I would not for any trio or top four even in the league. Here is why,... Allen has great rapport with the guys we have. All our guys have a ton of heart and competitive drive. They all complement each other well. All our guys are shifty, quick, and explosive in their roles who can also make the tough catches. MOST IMPORTANT: All our guys are very good to excellent route runners. This compliments Allen big arm a lot because they create separation where Allen can fire the rock in there so fast before a defender can close. Makes the play look easy, but its only looking easy because Allen gets the ball there so fast.

McD over Reid for me. McD is the coach of the year right now IMO. Agree with the others except MVP. Wilson, Allen, then Rodgers IMO.

0% chance he even makes this roster. Lmao, he was terrible again yesterday. He’s not a good route runner, he has no heart, no instincts, and bad hands. I mean David Carr is decent to good starting QB and Zay still produces nothing on a team where Zay has every opportunity to make an impact but still doesn’t. I mean the only reason he even made the roster is because Williams was on IR and he’s only getting snaps now is because of injuries to better WRs ahead of him. He’s literally the 6th WR in Las Vegas behind Williams, Ruggs, Renfrow, Edwards, and Agholor. Williams, Ruggs, and Edwards are all hurt. Leaving him and Agholor to play with Renfrow in the slot.

So why A- and not an A or A+? You are always at least a half grad too low every week. I mean reading your notes, you would think for sure it’s an A.

In no particular order...DE, CB, TE, OL, DT, LB - in other words, mostly BPA.

I agree. And not because I want an advantage this weekend, I don't fear the Raiders. But I dont want our guys being potentially exposed that could cause them to miss the KC game. This is an unacceptable situation and they need to be handled appropriately to protect the other players.

Doesn’t really matter if this is true or not true. All 32 teams playing under the same rules, same refs.

Its simple. It was PI because ball was in the air to the WR while they were still engaged. It’s that simple. Case closed. Had Josh thrown the ball after he broke free, there would have been no PI called. It was a PI 100% per the rules.

Wow this is not a very good take. 1. Russel Wilson 2. Patrick Mahomes (Mahomes and Wilson are basically 1a and 1b, you can make a case for either, but based on the season, its Wilson right now). 3. Aaron Rodgers That is the unquestioned top 3. Here is where some variance can come into play...Allen has a case for #4 solely on the season so far, but I don't think we can put him there yet after just 3 games. 4. Dak Prescott 5. Drew Brees 6. Josh Allen 7. Lamar Jackson (I feel like he hasn't progressed as a passer, and defenses are better prepared to limit his running damage so he drops some spots for me) 8. Deshaun Watson 9. Big Ben 10. Tom Brady Guys who have cases for top 10: Tannehill, Murray, Newton, Goff, Ryan

Well injuries are injuries...that can derail anyone at any time. Im just talking from a talent perspective.

Well that is also a fair point, can't just say he's a former MVP and because of that he is above questions or criticisms. So I agree with your take on that, I was just saying that regardless if he ever recaptures the magic of last season, he will still likely be a dangerous threat for a long time in this league, even if its not ever as good again as last season.

Thats a fair assessment, and Brown's behavior is so extreme its a legit question mark. But the only way to really find that out is for someone to give him a shot.

Well yeah, using any single season to predict a players future is a bit silly. But, to win an MVP, you have to be more than just lucky, I mean there needs to be talent there. Lamar may or may not ever win it again, but I do think he will have a long career as a starter in the NFL. Question...and I did not look it up myself, so dont know the answer...but has any player who won MVP while young or in their prime ever fallen off a cliff after winning it? Someone who was nearing the end of their respective career in other words.

But that’s not a fair comparison either. Alexander won it after years of being a monster and carrying a massive load of touches per season. He won it close to end of his career, so to use him as an example to discredit Lamars future who won it in his 2nd season is also a bit silly wouldn’t you say. Alexander was the best RB in football or among the best for many seasons prior to winning the MVP too, but after that year his body started breaking down from all the wear on his body and retired 2 seasons later.

Yeah, Ravens are probably the most ideal fit. Strong coaching staff that won’t put up with locker room issues and proved that by cutting Earl Thomas already, so AB comes in knowing he won’t get away with any antics. And he has family on the team as well to hopefully help kee his head straight. Add in that be immediately becomes the featured weapon, something that will motivate AB even more to prove he’s still an elite player, and it could t be a more ideal fit. Plus, he’s an ideal tutor in terms of play style for Marquise as well. If AB plays in the NFL again, this is where I think it will be.

I said all last year I would rather have Allen over Lamar. I think Allen has a much higher ceiling and that I was skeptical about the Ravens offense long term as the league adjusts to stopping it. And once it was figured out (Niners and Bills last year laid the ground work to slowing it down) then it would be inconsistent. However, that doesn’t mean Lamar is done being a dangerous starting QB. That’s a bit extreme. Second, Kyler Murray is the real deal, he’s a good passing QB as well as a lethal runner. He has Russel Wilson type potential, where as Lamar was always more like Vick type potential. I think Allen will prove to be a top 5 QB for the next decade and Kyler has that same potential. Lamar I think will be that guy like a Newton or Vick where he’s a more dangerous runner than passer, but still can’t be over looked and still can beat you on any given day, just will lack consistency due to having limitations as a thrower. Would also add that Andrews and Brown had a bunch of drops last night and didn’t help Lamar out. So this is all a bit knee jerk reaction to one game. He by far has the weakest set of weapons around him in terms of Mahomes, Allen, and Murray. He needs help, much like Josh did. Wont surprise me at all to see Ravens kick the tires on Antonio Brown once his 8 game suspension nears ending, especially if Brown keeps himself out of the negative spot light until then. He’s been relatively quiet during the season, and I think part of that is that has to do with teams expressing interest under the condition he STFU and keeps his nose clean during that time. Shaun Alexander was a monster for several years. Not sure why you bring him up, terrible comparison.

I really don’t ‘t get this view point. If anyone was really paying attention, then none of this is really that much of a surprise. Josh Allen was already displaying significant improvements in accuracy last year in every phase except for his deep ball. However, Josh deep ball also started improving late in the season too, his slyest end total was still a very poor accuracy number, but that’s also because he started the season off like 1-30 or something insane like that on the deep ball. And all off season, all the reports, clips, etc that were coming out were all about much improved mechanics to get more touch and deep accuracy. Honestly, this is exactly what I expected from Josh this year based on his trajectory of year after year improvements and everything we saw and heard over the offseason. Especially with the addition of Diggs as well. So for me, none of this is really any kind of a surprise and pretty much what i have been saying all off season, especially after the Diggs trade. The only thing that is a bit of surprise is the heavy passing volume given I expected our RBs to also get a little more action, especially given they are averaging a high YPC. But when we are moving with ease through the air, I get riding that momentum.

Personally, the false INT changed the momentum completely. Without that play, I am not sure this game ever gets remotely close. It gave Rams energy, but also got our D back on the field quickly and then right back on the field after that again. I am worried about the defense defending between the hash marks. Its been a weakness 2 weeks in a row, but the Dolphin game had us missing 2 key players in Edmunds and Milano, and also a potential 3rd key guy in Norman (as we don't yet know what he can bring to the D until he gets on the field). This week, I wonder if fatigue was a major factor in the 2nd half as the defense went from looking great most the game to suddenly looking terrible and unable to stop anything. They got stuck on the field a lot during that stretch, and I am hoping its just a case of being both totally gassed and playing a brilliant offensive coach and potent offense. Regardless as to the why, one thing we know is that teams are 100% going to see the tape of these two games and look to attack these parts of the field again. We are going to for sure be challenged by Raiders there as its literally the heart of their offense anyway. Jacobs is a beast up the middle and powerful downhill runner with the ability to break it outside. Waller is a matchup nightmare over the middle who can and will be moved all over the offense. Its going to be interesting to see who the defense adjusts this week knowing full well the Raiders are going to attack this glaring weakness the past 2 weeks. Lets just hope it was more of a short term issue due to a long stretch of being stuck on the field against a top end offense and not something thats a major issue week to week. This weeks test isnt going to be easy either. Raiders offense is not on the same level as Rams, but they are very good in the area we have been very weak, so could be a problem if we don't figure it out and fast.
