I don't see our roster that set to package a few high picks to go up 10 or more spots. If all goes well this coming season then for 2021 I could see a big trade up.

Re-affirms my notion that the Bills will pick a CB as it will have the most value by a considerable amount at 22. There is a lot to happen between now and April but I don't see a guy that the Bills would use one of their extra picks to go up to 18-19 to get. Just the way I see it.

This is a grade F observation for even you. A pro 2nd Amendment guy against Trump makes no sense. The same guy saying Biden, Clinton, etc. makes perfect sense and is consistent in terms of philosophical outlook.

Your paychecks been bouncing?

I think a fair amount depends on the number of completions Mahomes has. This past Sunday he was 23 out of 35 attempts for a 65 percent completion rate. Good but not great. I still think that SF DL will get more pressure than what Ten did which will make the completion rate dip. Let's say he gets 20-25 completions or just go down the middle and say 23 but needs 375 yards to win then he needs to average 16.3 yards per catch on average to achieve that. Watkins was 11 for 114 last Sunday or just a bit over 10 yards per catch. If the KC receivers average 10 yards per catch that is a win for SF. This was my point with Watkins in terms of pulling rabbits out of his hat. Last Sunday he had a few big plays but he will need more than a few to get his share of completions to have a big day due to less targets from 23 QB completions. Lets say say he needs 100-120 yards to carry his team to a win but he has to do it with 7 catches then he has to average nearly 16 yards per catch. I just think that is asking a lot as there will be small plays in there so that leaves the remaining catches to make up the difference. Sammy may need to have 4 catches that net 80 yards. Certainly not impossible given KC's capabilities but still asking for quite a bit.

Not surprised. Titan fans are similar to Chief fans that you just don't know when your team will be back so the AFC was going to drive that market. I would imagine that fans of teams who expect to be there every several years would be a bit more restrained in their bidding.

Not surprised. Older Chief fans have been waiting 50 years and can appreciate that through a couple of bad bounces they may not see the Chiefs in the SB during their lifetime again.

It is a vertical move clearly. Sometimes when you don't want to you have to allow these moves so you can benefit the same when your team is in need. I would not like letting Butler go but it certainly is not outrageous.

I'd grade out SF defensive backs as a group over NE. As individuals the NE DB's are pretty good but SF obviously does something better to get more out of that unit. There is also the factor that sometimes for a season a team plays above its normal abilities and I think that is where SF is at. The Giants earned a few SB wins doing that.

Yeah , I know KC had no short fields but am saying there is no margin for error with respect to SF in those terms. Yes, he put those numbers up but I question whether he is going to do that in the SB. I think that SF DB >>>>>>>Ten DB. Yards for KC receivers will be hard to come by.

Not really. Nobody has to ride Hill for 10 yards which is obvious. The SF DL is potent to the point where it just needs its DB's to disrupt Hill for a second or two so the PI could be disguised pretty well. Not trying to be down on KC but just acknowledging that SF's DL is extremely good.

Not good enough for a SF team that will most likely produce over 30 points. If SF can successfully mute Hill the Watkins will need most likely 100-120 yards and that is with Mahomes picking up 50 plus yards and Kelce having a very good day. I don't expect SF to turn it over to give KC a short field where lesser numbers will add up to many points.

Watkins had a few good plays versus several. Something that I expect SF to make a note of. If I were a betting man I would bet against Watkins having several productive plays versus having a few. It's logical for SF to put pressure on Watkins to pull the rabbit out of his hat for several plays. I hate to break it to you but all teams at the very least encourage PI if it is not a specific point in a plan. How many DB's get benched after a costly PI penalty? Very few. Can you PI interfere Hill literally all game? No. You have to mix it up and part of that is to look at Hill in terms of tendencies.

The Chiefs will not be facing the Texans in the SB. SF will pressure Mahomes with its DL. If I am SF DC I make KC win it by making Mahomes go to Watkins and Hardiman. I take Hill out as much as possible via pass interference. The SF defensive staff as we speak are checking out the officiating crew for the SB and its tendencies. I don't think that KC can win if 2/3 of the passes go in the direction of Watkins and Hardiman. I would have to go back and check Kelce's stats for the AFCG but he did not jump out at me yesterday while watching the television.

Alan has run to the defense of liberal personalities quite a bit more than the likes of Trump. For the future use glue instead of water if you want nonsense to stick.

You another candidate for being a cellmate with Collins?

There were maybe 4-6 plays where I thought Mahomes had all day. Most of the time he was moving a couple seconds after the snap.

You misunderstood me. The Chiefs don't have two series to squander. The most probable cause of no points after the first two series which is what Ryan C883 was alluding to is the SF DL being disruptive to the point of KC RB having no place to go and Mahomes running out of bounds or throwing the ball away.

SF DL vs KC OL. No points after 2 KC drives will tell me that Bosa and Co will have a firm grip on that portion of the game.

KC gets no more than 2 series to get on track to win. I have SF as 7 point favorites to win even though I am an AFC guy.

In most organizations it comes down to trusting a player to make a play. Does Daboll trust Yeldon, Duke, Sweeney with the ball? The example has been there for decades with teams such as the 1980's 49ers in terms of ball distribution.

A little disappointed that I did not hear a little history in terms of yesterday's matchup. Both franchises met for the championship following the 1962 season. A little tidbit we would have gotten a generation ago with Enberg-Olsen calling the game.

1. You don't always need flashy WR's to move the ball. I was fairly impressed with the array of TE's that the Titans had. Would our TE's approach that level of threat now that they have one year of seasoning under their belts? I'm hoping that we found perhaps two of our TE's for the next few years. 2. If you can get them it sure is nice to have elite receivers. Tyreek Hill had an amazing day and certainly helped his team get the win. 3. Both O lines were good but not elite. Did not see many holes opened for either run game never mind second level blocking. Henry got probably 60 percent of his production on his own. The Titan pass rush hurried Mahomes all day. Point is while dreaming about All Pro Centers and LT's it is nice that is not an absolute requirement to make the conference championship. 4. Both defenses had playmakers but few star players. Something that the Bills had and with a good FA period and draft will continue to have. 5. It is OK once again to root for the AFC Champion in the SB. No NE stink or disciple of Bill Bilicheck talk in Vrabel (I call him Jughead) leading up to the SB. I am old enough to remember Lamar Hunt and the quality person he was and came away liking the son at the acceptance of the trophy named after his father. Mods if this is too much like any other playoff talk threads then please merge if possible.

He could afford to buy Campbell's Chunky Soup TWICE per week on that kind of money.

All kinds of posts bright and early on a Monday morning. Trying to get back on board at the cubicle farm?
