Why do we keep recycling this question? There’s a search function. And why does there have to be a winner and a loser. Both teams won. KC got its missing piece. Buffalo broke the playoff drought thanks to the defensive improvements, where Tre White was a big part of that. Bills rebuild path led them to Allen, Edmunds, Diggs, etc. Literally 0% chance either team goes back and does it different. 0% either team would swap scenarios. It was a win-win. There will never be a “loser” in this trade. KC for a SB already, and Buffalo is already one of the best teams in the NFL full of young talent. This question is just silly now. And any poll about this that doesn’t include an option to select “draw” or they both won is pointless, because neither team lost this trade.

I was screaming to draft DK Metcalf. I argued all off season here with people who didn’t know what they were talking about with DK and kept telling them he’s the best WR in draft and true number 1 WR talent. I was fine taking Oliver though at 9, but I was pleading to trade up to get Metcalf when he slid to second round. However, Ford was a first round graded talent, expected go between 15 and 25 in most mocks. The second I saw we traded up and saw him still on the board I knew it was for Ford. And I was ok with that because protecting Allen was also highly important. But then he continued to fall, and I was screaming to trade up for this gift. Ultimately we didn’t, and of course we landed Motor and Knox in the third. Both of which I was also excited for. But I left that draft knowing we missed a chance to get a special and rare talent in DK while also still being quite pleased with our draft. Personally, I do think it worked out for the better. I would LOVE to have DK on this roster, but NOT at the expense of Diggs. As great as DK is, he’s not in the same class as Diggs who is excellent in every single phase of being a WR, including contested catches. That’s not a knock on DK, that’s just how good Diggs is, who I believe is a top 5 WR and will be for years to come. And I love Motor and Ford still has a chance to be very good at guard.

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.
