This is a coaching gap as much as anything else. Eagles offense is way too simple, no creativity just basic plays relying on their talent.

I'm surprised how little pressure Philly is getting on Lamar. He has all day back there

That would be the owner that needs to be fired. Getting rid of the GM won't solve the problem.

The Bengals defense doesn't have a single centerpiece to build around. They are practically starting from scratch.

Somehow Cincy isn't dead yet...

Cincy can drag any team into a shootout and that's a scary proposition. Too much variance in shootouts for my liking.

Yeah it is a disgrace that Houston ultimately is not punished for the dirtiest hit of the year. Offsetting penalties and each team had a player ejected. Truly disgraceful.

The Jets didn't ruin Sam Darnold. He just isn't very good.

Wow Pittsburgh just jumped Offside on 4th and 1 but the officials called false start on Cincy... I'm rooting for Cincy to lose but that's a joke. This stuff needs to be reviewable. Takes 10 seconds to watch the slow motion replay.

Ultimately it will be up to the GM, AKA Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers just airmailed another wide open WR, this time on 4th down and the Seahawks take over at midfield. He's completely washed.

Ridiculous for the officials to eject a Jaguars player after that

He should be ejected from the sport until 2025 IMO

Seattle's XP is blocked. NJ had an XP blocked earlier. This game is off its rocker. Normal Seahawks game.

Hahahaha Rodgers missed a wide open Garrett Wilson for a TD, then threw a horrid pick six. Maybe Laviska Shenault can try and hold onto the ball from here on out and the Jets will slowly die.

Houston's offense is a mess right now. Poor pass protection, Stroud is staring at the rush or making throws late.

Trevor Lawrence looking more like a bust than a player they just paid $275 million...

This IS Pickens with discipline. Just like Antonio Brown under Mike Tomlin. I suspect when Pickens eventually leaves Pittsburgh he will have a similarly pathetic life.

My god George Pickens is the dumbest player in the NFL. Basically just erased his own big completion with a stupid penalty.

He air mails way too many throws for a "generational prospect"

It was the same way they closed out the AFCCG against the Ravens last season 🤷‍♂️. This time Mahomes missed the pass. It happens. They knew they could punt and stop the Raiders from getting into FG range considering how bad Carlson had been all day. Against a better offense they probably would have just gone for it on 4th and 2.

That's what is different about the Chiefs now - because neither their offense nor their defense are performing at an elite level they are not going to blow teams out. Out of their 11 wins only 2 have been by more than one score. So I understand why the common belief now is that they aren't championship caliber. Because for 55 minutes they look ordinary. The thing with them is that one phase of the ball, some player or two, is always going to step up in the last 5 minutes. Or the coaching staff is going to make the exact right decision for the game that they are in. Yesterday is a great example - they've watched the Raiders miss three kicks of 50+ yards. So they play the odds. Instead of going for it on 4th and 2, they dare the Raiders and their joke of a QB and their joke of a coach to execute a long drive to get within a manageable kicking distance. They put all of the pressure on their opponent knowing they are almost certain to come out on top. In a different game script against a different opponent, they would have made different decisions to win the game. They don't care what happens for the first 55 minutes. They don't expect to dominate their opponent, they expect to win and they always do. Josh Allen is the only person in the NFL that's managed to beat them at their own game this year. I suspect he is the only one that can.

They've got a hold of everyone. Their supposed drop off is dominating the national conversation right now. Everybody across the NFL is whistling past the graveyard not understanding who this team is and how they win. I've come fully around to the idea that in the NFL the quality of your opponent doesn't matter nearly as much as people say. Panthers, Raiders, it doesn't matter. Every team is going to give you its best shot and you have to find a way to overcome them. The game script could veer off in weird and unexpected directions, and you have to adjust on the fly and find a way to win within that game script. The team that can do that at a near perfect level is in my mind vastly superior to a team that is more talented on paper but can only win 50% of one score games. Turning coin flips into sure victories is the ultimate superpower in the NFL. The Chiefs have been great at that for a while now but since the playoffs last year they've perfected the art. All the other talk about the "quality" of their wins is just fluff.
