[BRH]

Remember when Stroud called himself one of the top five QBs in the league?

I'm suprised more teams don't do that..risk v reward is worth it.  Either up two possessions or up a touchdown. To me 7 vs 8 point lead is minimal,  but getting up 9...

It’s really a no-brainer…

Top 3, I think

[Steptide]

That 3rd down defense looked awfully farmiliar there 🤔 

[stevewin]

I have no shortage of empathy, in fact I'm often chastised for having too much of it,  but it's not empathy to cry when a teammate breaks their leg - it's unregulated emotion. Dude needs to be a leader, but if he unravels over a relatively minor injury like that, he's got issues. I couldn't take him seriously if I were on that team.

Relatively minor? Looks pretty godam serious.  Career ender.

Way to unathletic baby! Nice! 

 

Seriously, he runs like an insurance salesman 😃

Luckily you’re not on their team

dang, that was a killer drive.  Chiefs could still lose at Pittsburgh. and i think Denver will finally beat them in the last game. I bet the Broncos need that one.

 

Broncos may be playing for nothing by that point.

Knee came down before the 1st down marker I think 

[starrymessenger]

Bad spot imo

Yeah where his knee was, not the ball.

I am dumbfounded how bad the play calling is with Houston.  Failed screen and failed screen.  Bobby F’N Slowik is killing poor CJ Stroud.  
 

So many people here wanted to fire McDermott and turn it all to Bobby F’N Slowik.  What a train wreck that would be!

Yeah - but you are supposed to spot it where the ball is, not the knee

worthy looks better and better every week. he's on the rashee rice trajectory.

 

rice started slow, then turned into a beast. worthy more involved today than any prior game. 

 

I honestly thought Worthy would be broken in half by now being as light as he is.  But i’ll give him credit. He’s stayed away from big hits, remains healthy and getting open.

[Einstein]

Mixon is underrated.

 

I think Cinci misses him a lot.

I mean, we've all said it in this thread, but there is no way Mahomes has a high ankle sprain.  That injury prevents guys from walking and puts them in a boot where they don't have a chance to play for multiple weeks.  Mahomes is out there running normally with no limp (except for the couple plays that don't go their way).  He may have twisted an ankle or something, but he had nothing more than a mild ankle sprain.  No way you will convince me otherwise.

he's completely fos.

[Einstein]

Houston’s offense looks best when they are running play action.

[BRH]

Love how the fullback took himself right out of the play there

[boyst]

Texans will score but it will be denied by penalty. Incoming in. 5. 4

...3
