You have no clue that is true. You won't know that until the regular season starts after the draft, FAs gained and lost by all teams and who gets injured in training camp and is out long term.

Try to be objective. It’s based on the current talent, and projected QB moves. Jets will get a veteran QB, Jax is improving, Chargers would have been much better if not for injuries. KC and Cincy will still be very good. 
 

Bills have some tough decisions to get under the cap. And based on recent roster moves I don’t have confidence that Beane will make the necessary player and coaching moves.

Eagles at Chiefs is the guaranteed Thursday night season opener

KC likely wins that game without the holding call.

 

But refs, C'MON.  You have to be more careful w/ a few minutes to go in the game. You could have called that a dozen times, at least,  Keep it consistent, and above all, DO NOT make calls that decide games.  

 

How do you figure?  KC has to kick the FG and there's plenty of time for Philly to either tie or take the lead.

 

Worst call in NFL history.  The outcome of the game was decided on that call, which hadn't been called all night if I remember correctly.

THAT and 6$ will get you coffee at Starbucks!  Lol !   Hold onto little things ,,,,but cincy worked us and Miami almost did.  It was a nice reg season win,,,maybe next time don't give up the best play of the year to lose a game at home (Vikings game, so you keep home field advantage.  Yet, even that didn’t stop cincy ) in typical bills fashion, and dont come out totally flat and get out coached on Your home field in the playoffs. How about just quit losing  as much in the post season ; having a 4-5 record is not going to get you more than one lombardy even if they had put all 4 of those wins in a single season.   It’s time for the process to produce and quit being passed by other staffs.  

 

Just being honest,,,,talent is probably there but coaching errors ( defensive mistakes coupled with an inexperienced OC) keep this team from reaching its potential.   When your DC has a “1” D, and cant get a HC interview or even  win assistant COY recognition, and you keep going back down that’s path, people will bypass you in this league. Results are the proof. 

What I’m saying you can’t compare having a number two receiver like Devonte Smith to Gabe Featherstone Davis much less their oline

refs absolutely change the momentum of an nfl game more than any other sport. its ***** out of control how much power those ***** have. it has to be on purpose too with how much money is tied into the game

There was a lot of money on the eagles

It's all worth it if we hear Reid w/ something like, "Ya know, I've accomplished everything I want to accomplish, so...."

Don't get got up in passing yard stats. He was great especially in the second half.

 

The guy is a winner and has the it factor to the max. The Mahomes hate here continues after he put on his 2nd ring.

 

Yet, Allen is crowned the best with not even a sniff of a Super Bowl t-shirt.

 

It's mostly not Allen's fault. The Bills organization has failed him in so many ways. There's a chance that he's wasting away his prime in Buffalo. Like so many on here have said look at what Allen would do on a teams like the Dolphins, Chargers, Jets, KC, Dallas, and Philly to name a few. 

 

In retrospect, the game was a lot of fun to watch. Enjoyed it as a football fan. On the other hand, I couldn't help but think what coulda shoulda been. 

 

 

 

I'm not hating on Mahomes. I was replying to a guy who said Mahomes was "virtually unstoppable." That is not a label you can put on a QB who threw for under 200 yards. He didn't make any big mistakes and his team was virtually unstoppable in the second half. But he had a very mediocre game. Two of his touchdown passes were thrown to guys who had their entire half of the field uncovered.

Mahomes is more important than Reid.

I wonder what happens if a Philly player had picked up the RB prior to when he gave himself up and carried him into the endzone...would be one of the most interesting plays in NFL history?  I'm guessing it stops the play where he picks him up?  

The issue was the Philly players just stopped - they should have been coached to run with the ballcarrier and get a hold of him before he goes down to drag him into the EZ

Crooked ***** league, lol

From your lips to McDs ears.

 

Properly invest in protecting and getting weapons for the face of the franchise or be prepared to never have a realistic shot at a title again.

 

would love an OL like the Eagles have.  They are not in the game without it.  Converting 3 and 4th and shorts.  That 2-point conversion.  Just wow.

I know you are joking. Really isn’t any class anywhere on that team. 
Kelce screaming nobody gave them a chance all year…what a dummy. 

He’s been hitting “the supplements “ pretty hard this year. Playing the no respect fool … such a no class guy. No humility or props to Eagles or the pain his brother must be feeling. Complete idiot. 

[Livinginthepast]

Bizarre game. Two teams I dont like but I think the end result was fair. Philly didnt face a good team all year and it showed. Nice to see them choke under some pressure. Hurts I have to admit was better than the fraud I thought he was but ultimately I dont think he is in the same league as Mahomes/Allen/Burrow.  In the end I wanted the Chiefs to win it only because I didnt think Philly deserves such success so soon after winning a previous SB. I also cant stand their foul mouthed low class coach. Ever since one of the Saturday games back in December where he arrogantly told one of his own coaches? " I know what the F I am doing" on the sidelines, I have thought that guy is classless tactless dbag to act that way. Today I hope is embarrassed at his blubbering before the game too.  Cue the riot in Philly! 

[Nitro]

I watched and found it to be a tepid game.  The holding call was 50/50.  The bad punt in the beginning of the fourth quarter and subsequent 65 yard return was the game changer for me.

I've only been saying this for 5 years. Tired of waiting for these knuckleheads to figure it out. 

It’s amazing, it’s only been the secret for success for 60 years lol but somehow Beane and McDermott can’t figure it out🤔🤔🤔🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It really makes me mad to see their line and then think back to how often Josh is getting pressured almost as soon as he takes the snap in the gun.

I'd agree - but Reid is still important. If he retires, it makes things much harder for the Chiefs.

 

Sure, they could pick up another top coach. But I wouldn't bet on it.

He is, but let’s not act like he was his superhuman self tonight.

 

Reid calls some spectacular motions in the short game and gave Mahomes wide open options at the goal line.

 

Bolton deserved the MVP over Mahomes imo

yeah, it’s pretty sad honestly.

I don't think anyone really blames Allen. 

 

The Bills organization has clearly failed to build a winner around Allen. They have had 6 years to do it without much playoff success. No Super Bowl or even a sniff at one. 

 

I think most are blaming management and the coaching staff. The Allen criticism is a by product of the failed mission of the Bills organization.

 

Now they are severely handicapped by cap issues, pending contracts, poor player development, poor draft choices, and poor coaching. Not an optimal position to be in.

 

Allen is virtually the sole reason the Bills have been so successful. To be honest, the organization has let him down along with its fans. My fear is he's being wasted in Buffalo. How many more missed opportunities await?

eh, I dislike KC slightly more.  Travis Kelce has to be one of the cockiest players to ever play.  He's infinitely more classless than the Eagles coach, who in the example you cite likely got into an argument likely with a cocky position coach who questioned Nick because he's young.  

 

I also hate poor officiating deciding games.
