I'm not worried about what he's doing today. I'm really glad he's putting great stuff on film. Hopefully it hammers home to the staff and defense that they MUST bring their A game. 

He tore them apart in the playoffs last year.  I don't think they need a reminder.

I dunno, talent-wise the Chiefs can almost have anyone as a #2 to Kelce and they can gameplan for them. The Bills cannot do the same for Diggs.

 

Bills have had better talent on defebse for a while now too, yet they choke when it counts. Hail mary plays come to mind.

 

McDermott is a choker, Reid is not. That's the difference.

Reid was notorious for his atrocious time management, it’s why he got fired from Philly. Do you watch football?

It’s funny how some fans loved hating on Bienemy. He has little Sam Howell lighting up the Eagles. That was the off-season move the Bills should have made. 

They put up 7 against the Giants last week.

Took the moneyline on them at +180 when they were down 11.  They've always been a come from behind team.

Denver look competent so far today. May that not be the case next week.

Agree. But him looking good now after starting the year slow reaffirms for them that "He's still THAT guy". I feel good about next week.

He could turn it over 10 times and still be the MVP favorite and darling of the media. The narrative is set in stone: Mahomes can do no wrong. 

It helps when you’ve won two SBs

I don't think he forgot how to play quarterback.  Look at Allen with the elbow injury last year.  Couldn't throw short to save his life.

Didn't say he forgot how to play. Didn't even elude to that. But like you point out with Allen's elbow injury changes things. Burrow ain't injured anymore. That's the point!

If the Bengals play like this next week the Bills will get throttled. 

If the bengals have 17 points in the third we’re in the game and probably up by 4

[Low Positive]

For those watching another game, the score in the Bengals game is 17-10, not the 56-0 that TBDers would make you think it is

Film out on Purdy? 

[Draconator]

Is this suddenly an reoccurring theme where running QBs are told not to run? First Allen, now Jackson

[Draconator]

Bears at Chargers is a perfect excuse to drink

[Doc]

Should be a lot of top teams’ message boards melting down about how they are playing so poorly against inferior opponents.

Russell Wilson throws moon balls on goal to go, doesn't he?

 

Am I the only one who wonders how much of Wilson’s “moon ball” success was actually due to Metcalf?

And lockett before him.

He did it well before Metcalf got to Seattle.
