I think Josh cares. He's human. I would care. That former MVP label will follow you the rest of your life. It would be a shocker if Lamar didn't win it but I'd be ecstatic for Josh if he did.

Not as an offensive coordinator though. Mack Jones only good year was with him as a rookie. Same goes for Matt Cassel in that 11-5 season after Brady suffered that injury in the first game in 2008. We'll see what he can do with Drake Maye but I wish they hired someone else. I think he's going to fall in that bucket of bad head coach but decent coordinator. I think long term this will be the best competition in our division.

Maybe the Swifties will get their first Wide Right gut punch and become true NFL fans.

At least they should be honest and change the name to the International Football League. Tua would pry still under throw Hill. You didn't like being the guinea pig? That was an effin joke. There's pry lots of millennial Bills fans in Africa.

It's not an extreme straw man if the belief by some on here is that the NFL is rigging the games for KC to get to the Super Bowl. How else would you do that?

That's obvious and probable after the Donaghy scandal. Every ref given the orders by Goodell to rig it for the NFL ratings for Swifties is a bit too much for me though.

So you think over 130 refs that compromise at maximum 17 crews a week are working with Goodell to rig the games for the Chiefs because of the Taylor Swift bump?

How many refs are in the league and how would not one of them spill the beans?

That’s different than a league wide conspiracy right up there that the earth is flat people. I just don’t buy it but get why people think it is which is only a good thing because it hopefully make the product better.

Franks. Anybody that says differently is either delusional and/or a liar.

We'll see what they do. They allowed coaches to challenge PI calls a few years back and it was a disaster. Maybe they'll just make it so any personal foul is automatically reviewed upstairs and add a flopping penalty. To your second point, it's already irrelevant and the NFL needs to act aggressively to make refs full time employees and do a better job of communicating on the live broadcasts to the public about why this is or isn't a penalty.

I completely agree. However, then you get into the slippery slope of all plays cans be reviewed which would severely disrupt game flow. Look hard enough on any play and you can pry find a penalty in there. I think maybe adding two coaching challenges (without the possibility of losing a time out) just for penalties per game could be a nice middle ground. Anybody that thinks their is a league wide conspiracy among all the refs to help rig the Super Bowl for the Chiefs to be in it don't have two functioning brain cells. Dumb is the polite way I can put it.

Based on Schefter's tweets about making certain penalties re viewable like roughing the passer after the Chiefs/Texans game, the refs releasing a statement that they don't fix games (which is kind of funny because it implies incompetence on their part which is exactly what it is), and even Goodell having to publicly say the NFL isn't rigged I expect significant changes this off-season. You lose the integrity of the game it's a huge problem with them in bed with gambling companies.

I think the NFL is pry going to go overboard now in using the technology and making obvious penalties/non penalties reviewable. Their biggest fear is that enough dumb people will think the game is rigged because of gambling and they'll stop watching. Kind of the perfect storm of the Chief fatigue, bad officiating that went the Chiefs way, and the whole Taylor Swift story line.

I'm not going to complain too much about an offense that finished second in points and 10th in yards. That discrepancy has a lot to do with overwhelmingly protecting the ball and the defense taking it away. Brady in his short stint with the ingenious Matt Rhule in Carolina showed me he can give DJ Moore and Robbie Whatevertheheckhislastnameisnow over 1,000 yards receiving. I do think having a #1WR that creates instant separation is still extremely valuable not only opening things up on offense but having that option in those got to have it moments. I know Diggs is public enemy number one for a lot of people but I think of all those late end of half end of game series (yes-only in the regular season I know) where Josh just went to him knowing he'd beat single man coverage. If you want this offense to go from tenth in yards to top five then that's what we need.

Jeez. Don't depress me more.

Not sure about dominant but those were two good games by him. Didn't do much after the wrist injury. Unfortunately all of the advanced metrics showed that he can't separate which we all know too well was the biggest knock on him coming out of college. I still think he can become a good #2 WR but he's going to really work at his craft this off-season. Besides Ray Davis this was a really underwhelming draft class so far.

He's the top free agent CB available so some other team with a lot of cap space will likely price us out.

Take that Kansas City.

I'd rather trade for Cooper Kupp and draft a vertical threat.

He had 8 sacks in 10 games before the Thanksgiving game massacre. Everything we thought we were getting. Made key plays at the end of the games at the Ravens and Chiefs. I can't blame Beane for unforeseen injuries.

He's more versatile than both and is a better route runner and separator. Shakir excels at exploiting zone coverage and YAC. Samuel got better as the year went on but I was expecting more out of him. He just never seemed to click in this offense. You wonder how much injuries played a role If it wasn't for the price tag I'd be all over this. WR depth is a great thing to have. Kupp is basically an older Ladd McConkey. The one drawback besides the money is he won't stretch the field vertically which is what this offense needs to become even more lethal.

He's not a free agent and would cost $20m against our cap this year and $19m in 2026. Unless he renegotiates his contract or the Rams eat some of that money it's not happening.

With Hill that's a good analogy. Quitting on the team last year showed who he really was.
