Stroud is only in year two going into year three, I think the jury is still out on him if he can compete with the "Big 4" AFC QB's. He's not there yet but I want to see him behind a better offensive line, with more starts under his belt, and his WR core healthy (while replacing Diggs). Texans got a soft division and 2 years plus the 5th year option left on Stroud's deal so they have the tools they need to get some more pieces. 

Stroud is Jared Goff.

Omg ! I love them for this. The NFL isn't even hiding it anymore. And a lot of the reasoning is because of Taylor Swift and their need for more revenue. It's kind of sickening. If Chiefs go to the super bowl again I'm not sure I'll watch.

Does Swift create revenue for the league?

Yes, it brings a lot of woman who wouldn’t have watched without her. And all her fans love her Neanderthal boyfriend.

I know they’re missing 2 good receivers and the O-line is dinged up but he has regressed from his rookie season. You can’t mindlessly stand back there, in a close game where your defense has played their guts out and take sack after sack. You’re demoralizing your team. His understanding of field position and situational awareness is really poor. Other than the Charger game, where Herbert didn’t come to play, Stroud was disappointing as a leader and a game manager for the last 6 weeks. Remember his defense lead the league in sacks and they had two great corners. After last season many thought with Stroud, the Texans would compete for the SB. After this season, I think they go backwards.

^ oh my god does Swift ever create revenue for the league! My buddy’s wife will watch every Chiefs game just to see Taylor for a few mins each time. And yeah, no they love Kelce. 
 

I was in Barnes and Noble recently… there was a kids biography section that picture books of the most famous people in time (that kids would care about)… George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Taylor Swift… and yep, you guessed… Travis Kelce. I almost puked.

It's infuriating to watch a game that is so profoundly affected by a couple bad calls by the refs.

 

That being said, Stroud's receivers didn't do much for him when the play would break down. Several times I watched as Stroud would escape the pocket, and have nowhere to throw as his receivers had finished their routes, and were doing little to extend the play, and get themselves open. I know that they're missing their top receivers from the season, but every receiver on the Bills will play until the whistle, including rookie Coleman. The Texan's offense just didn't look like they wanted it as badly as their defense, who were stellar.

Texans are not holding back on the officiating 

 

Anderson blatantly calling them out, Stroud calling them out a little more "respectfully ", and same as Demeco.

Love it- As it's about time players and coaches start calling out this BS

I love it so much

Chiefs go to another Super Bowl, I’m damn sure not watching. I’m over it. Not that the NFL cares.

 

I skipped a lot of Patriots Super Bowl appearances because I just couldn’t stand watching the same team in it year after year. It’s boring unless you’re a fan of that team or…Rob Lowe.

This is the only reason I get nervous about playing them. We've seen the movie 1k times. Why would that script change for Buffalo?  We don't have the Face of the NFL on our team or the celeb girlfriend (well ok kinda do) or the Tom Brady records to beat. It's all

laid out for KC. I'm. It sure I whole heartedly believe everything I just said but it sure as hell feels Like it's the way it is. 

I can remember some crucial calls that went Buffalo’s way vs KC, but what are examples of the opposite?

If Buffalo wins tomorrow, they won’t be scared of Arrowhead in the slightest.  They enjoy playing there and have played some good football in that stadium

NFL does seem to be faced with somewhat of a credibility crisis after this one. For me the calls that weren't made were as bad as the ones that were. All of the top comments I see on various social media and news websites are some variation of "the league is rigged".

Are you still trying to pretend that the Chiefs don't get favorable officiating?

Good. They got hosed and everyone saw it. Aikman even had enough by the sounds of it.

Watching the replay now. Yikes. The RTP @ 7:00 in the first to convert a failed 3rd down attempt is almost as bad. Looks like helmet to helmet but on the replays it seems like Anderson just hits the shoulder pads. Could be wrong though. The tototototototo RTP is a joke man.
