Mahomes and the chiefs were 0-3 vs the bengals regular season and playoffs.  

Yup, until they weren't anymore. A lot of time has been spent bemoaning what Buffalo looked like against Cinci this year. But nothing is ever static in the NFL and long-term I'm not super afraid of them, definitely not more than KC

Stat padder?  You mean like Herbert?  Rodgers for the past several seasons?  Dak Prescott? 

 

 

Actually, yes. Kinda just like those guys, but without the plus physical traits (although I question if Dak has any plus traits at this point...never forget him being called the "black Kirk Cousins". Hilarious.)

Eventually Kelce retires and Chase/Higgins have to get paid. In a couple years the balance of power could look very different.

Haven't watched the show and probably won't, but in terms of Mahomes, I think the dislike other than what he's done to Buffalo is about the people he surrounds himself with... wife and brother. Not exactly a choice on his part, but still.

 

Personally, I'll always hate Mahomes the player, but what he did after the clock struck 00 after 13 seconds made me realize how good a dude he is.

Referencing something in the show?  Something he did in that game made u appreciate him as a human, or as a player? i took it as human, but unsure what youre referencing

I think he’s talking about Mahomes seeking out Allen to hug right after the game.

Huh? Haven't watched the show. I'm talking about how Mahomes sprinted from the EZ to Allen after throwing a GW TD to embrace him and congratulate him on a great game.

 

That's all I needed to know how great a dude (aka human) Mahomes is. That was rare.

Personally I love that mahomes said what he said.  The more the chiefs and bengals talk about each other the better.

 

The Bills need to be as understated and quiet this season as they can be which will be hard I know but it is whats best for them.

 

I love reading the window is closing and how allen is declining.....This is exactly what the bills should want in the media and around the league.

 

Between the chiefs-Bengals talking and everyone talking about rodgers in New York....the bills should be able to just go about their business.  Just need the diggs stuff to not come back up.

I’ll say the Mr average comment May root in a specific dynamic… that at any given tim the nfl only really has maybe 20 true starting qbs, and about a dozen teams searching. It colors fans perceptions in ranking what a middle of the pack qb is. Among the guys that are unquestioned starters - he’s pretty average or lacking exceptional traits and results. He’s a good starter, and has some longevity with that status to accumulate stats and rankings.

 

if you took the 20ish deserving hard to  get him above average to slightly above in that group. starting qbs of the last couple years, it’s probably 

 

I disagree.  He is the leader of an Offense that has to carry that team most years.  Among maybe 20 true starters, he is consistently in the top 10, not cumulatively, but annually.

What physical traits did either Manning have?

How much time did they spend on Kirk and Mariota’s siblings?

[wppete]

What I got out of watching. This is tha Eric Bieniemy was just a clipboard holder. He had no part in play design or calling. Should be interesting to see what Washington looks like this year.

I was shocked they did not mention his cousin twice removed 🙄

[BigDingus]

It's so wild seeing Lubbock, TX on a big TV series like this... But then again, it's half the reason I wanted the Bills to draft Mahomes back in the day. 

 

The city is crazy passionate about football, but isn't the big market that the other Texas giants are. Was hoping the city would become Bills fans overnight, so I'd finally not be the only Bills guy in town. 

 

Now the whole damn city & every Texas Tech alumni in the state is wearing Chiefs jerseys... disgusting. It's hard to go back & visit Tech anymore seeing all the red & yellow everywhere 🤮

Why would I know the answer to that?

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Just got done with episode three, which the majority of is about the Bills Vikings game. I was at that game and it’s funny you don’t realize in the moment how crazy it was. Allen really pissed that game away, two different times. But in his defense he probably shouldn’t have been playing anyway.

Cousins has 6 seasons in the top 10 in passes completed, 5 in top 10 in attempts, 7 in top 10 yards (4th last year), 6 in TDs, 6 in passer rating, 6 in completion%. 4 Pro Bowls.  28th all time in yards, 23rd in TDs, 23rd in YPA, 25th in game winning drives, 26th in 4th Q comebacks.

 

Those aren't average numbers. 

And yet, despite all those wonderful stats, he’s 1-4 in the playoffs and has a slightly worse winning percentage than Tyrod Taylor as a starter. He’s a stat padder.

I wouldn't be so sure... People are now saying stuff like that about Josh, but it's obviously not true. 

 

It's not like he's only getting his numbers late in the 4th quarter during blowouts against 2nd team defenses... He's accumulating those stats naturally through the progression of each game. Remember when Josh apparently couldn't win 1 score games? People were saying Kirk was a choker, but he lead the league in 4th quarter comebacks last year. 

 

Also, it's not like he fell apart in their playoff game last year. He did about all he could do.

 

31/39 for 273 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT's, 112.9 RTG, with the game tied 24 - 24 in the 4th quarter. Giants go on to get another TD, and the rest is history. Not saying he's amazing, but he's still a top 10 QB easily.

He doesn't play Defense.

 

It's 4 games, not 5.  2012, he came in for RG3.  In those games, he had 1000+ yards, 66%, 5 TD, 1 int, 2 rushing TD....despite getting sacked 14 times.

Enjoying the series so far - thoughts through ep 3:

 

• Never realized Mahomes is so fiery - it's cool to see more of the competitive side of his personality - definitely not just physical talent with him
• Loved the montage of Mahomes complimenting rushers every chance he could "If they like me maybe they won't hit me so hard"
• The mic'ed up on Cousins during the Bills game fighting through the pain was something else - a real inside look into guys fighting through injuries and pain (oh - and Cam Lewis wtf were you doing)
• Cousins comes off extremely geniune and true to his public personality - builds a special hidden room for his trophies lol
• Was interesting to see the levels they each go through in their own way to take care of their body - thought the Mahomes routine during the week to build up to game day readiness was fascinating
• How many players would love what Reid does to let players design and show off plays they've dreamed up a regular part of practice
