Kindest, nicest and also the quickest person in the world! I wish I was that witty. Agreed. Both the players and the coaches deserve all the credit they're getting, on both sides of the ball. I'm especially impressed by the defense, which was not just flying around (they did that last week, too) but executing as well. They adapted, in other words. Bodes well going forward.

MVP!!

Any sign yet of ref bias for KC?

You telling me (I can't see the game) that Mahomes threw an interception late in a close game and there wasn't a PI or RTP call? C'mon!

Same with Bangor area.

Moved a lot faster than Hamlin last year on his blitzes, that's for sure.

Tyrod Taylor is going to score twice for them, and everyone will wonder why they started Fields. We've seen this movie before.

He also had the run stuff on the previous play.

Ah, the knowing sneer, a classic of the genre. Free of content, ad hominem, hypocritical, and nasty, worthy of Chiefs Planet.

But they're fun to write! 😀

I stand corrected.

Strong's TD-saving tackle of Henry in the fourth-quarter made me a fan. He's giving up 60 pounds on Henry, who had a full head of steam, and he took him out. I like White, but I see him bouncing off a big RB in that situation.

I only say that because they're currently the worst defense in the league in both yards and points. Not sure what other metric to use. Quality of post-game interviews? No contest on that one, although one could argue Allen and the offense had something to do with that, at least this last game.

McBeane built this team to beat KC, which it can't do, at the expense of being tissue paper against power teams like Baltimore. A lose-lose proposition, at least so far. The only redeeming quality I can see is that they play with heart and get turnovers, as in the Ravens game. Otherwise, the best they can do is serve as a speed bump so Allen has at least a fighting chance of scoring more points than they give up, again as in the Ravens game. If I'm the Jets, I play classic ball control. Short throws, 3.5 yards per carry, milk the clock, 43-minute TOP. Keep Allen on the bench and exhaust the small, overmatched defense. If you're facing arguably the worst defense and best offense in the league, which do you keep on the field and which do you keep on the sidelines?

Right. Watching the game again when the Ravens were on offense is painful. To their credit, the defense rallied to the ball and didn't give up, but the tackles were consistently shunted aside, the ends never got home, the tiny linebackers were either out of position or blown up by blockers, and the safeties were either slow or took bad angles. Only Bosa, Benford, and Strong did ok. Not great, at all, but ok. Oliver, though, wow. It was like watching a NFL player on a college team. Where can we find 10 more of him? (Or 11, since he, of all people on that wretched defense, is out.)
