Blank Stare

Jim Nantz getting in some stretches in the booth.

Almost as if the Jets are better with their starting qb. Huh...who’d a thunk it? We are the only team (before this game) that played the real Jets. They’re no world beaters, but they are a decent squad. Coaching holds them back.

Pete Carroll just looks like he’d have some rough coffee breath.

Is Sammy even playing today? Guy has been invisible since week 1.

Definitely seems like this has been more of a problem this year than in the past. I could be wrong but seems like it.

Hahaha. Im trying to stay engaged on a bye week. I appreciate the break for a week, but man do I hate the break for the week.

I completely get Whaley and McD being totally unsure about Mahomes during that draft. A lot of teams were. Doesn’t make it right, but there were concerns. What I’m shocked by is not taking Watson. He was a great college QB who played huge in the biggest games. A winner. Ball speed thing was overblown. Some guys win and are just good players. I bet if Whaley wasn’t neutered during that draft, Watson would’ve been a consideration for that pick. Idk for sure, but seems like it. For the record, before everyone roasts me, I’m a big JA supporter and completely fine with him. Just making an observation.

I agree. McD was the most prepared he’s ever been against them. But it’s the little things that NE will catch you on that can be the difference in the game. Like the blocked punt. He saw it on tape. McD didn’t. Sure, we had the whole game after that to change the outcome and may have if JA didn’t get hurt. But it’s just those little things that they are always ready for that give them the edge.

I agree. And it’s not even really a talent divide for us with NE. Their edge is in coaching and preparation.

It’s NE and everyone else in the AFC. And NE is beatable if you don’t make dumb mistakes to beat yourself. AFC is as wide open as it’s ever been.

He needs a bye week for sure. That ankle is becoming a problem.

I don’t see any way this dude is traded. Yeah, sure it could happen. Anything can. But I’d be shocked if it came before the offseason.

Yep, I agree. And that’s exactly what they want you to try to do. I think Texans do have the pass game weapons to keep up. But they don’t need to. Pound the rock. I guarantee you the Cheats will make them prove they can stop the run when they meet.

Why people don’t run it down KC’s throat is shocking to me. They can’t tackle or stop the run. Plus it keeps Mahomes off the field. Pound it on them.

Classy exit with his tweet. Zay‘s a good dude. Just didn’t work out. Hope the change of scenery serves him well.

Mayfield is 8 of 22 with 2 picks. I know Josh had an awful game against the Cheats, but people just need to chill on these young QBs. Even though Baker has more weapons than Josh, it takes time folks. They can’t all be Mahomes.

Something about Joe Tessitore’s voice and delivery drives me insane. Can’t believe this is the best ESPN/ABC has to offer.

Not surprised. Called this yesterday. Seems like a good enough guy, but you need to do what you’re employed to do - catch the ball. Didn’t do it well enough, so he’s out. Bills gave him a much longer leash than I would’ve. Even as a former 2nd rounder. Didn’t work out. Hopefully a change of scenery does him some good.

Quentin Nelson is an absolute monster.

Wow. Delta bravo much? This is a message board dude. You know, where people make comments about the team and games. Lighten up Francis.

Wish he’d have done that on the 4th and 2 qb sneak in the first half.

Agreed. But that’s all it took. No need to overthink it. At the end of the year, this still counts as 1 win against a team who is constantly in the hunt and direct WC competition. Now that I agree with. We definitely squandered some great opportunities.

I agree that we were fortunate to get the win. It was a sloppy game, but how was he not efficient? He took only what the defense gave him and would had a few more completions if it weren’t for 1 or 2 drops.

Exactly. I was critical of the pick, but that’s a great D he just beat on the road coming off a concussion. Aside from the 1 pick, very efficient day. 72% completion percentage for the people that care about that stat.

Trading Zay in the bye.
