I 100% believe that throw to Hardman was happening no matter what, just to send a message early on. It would have been a completion to Shakir, and maybe he breaks it, but the safety and CB would have let Hardman go the second they saw the ball going to Shakir. Big gain for sure, but at that point in the game I was perfectly fine with the lower-percentage bomb just for the message it sent.

DNPs for Hardman, Shakir, and Samuel. He’s ba-a-a-ack, everybody….

Not gonna lie, I thought the same thing. I wonder if the league is finally starting to realize that it’s not a good look when long returns constantly get called back. They’ve been trying everything to get more excitement on returns.

You all know that if the Chiefs don’t make the playoffs and we finally break through and win it all, that will be the narrative: “they only won because the Chiefs had an off year.” Just like how we didn’t start winning the AFCE until Brady was finally gone. At this point though, I don’t give a flying *****.

It wasn’t scored a drop for the same reason that an infielder doesn’t get an error when he really should have gotten close enough to make a play. Watching it on replay, it’s clear Hardman had a step and if he just keeps running under the ball it lands in his breadbasket. He will learn soon enough that he can’t outrun a Josh Allen throw.

Don’t forget that Stroud is a top five QB 😜

He was probably used to how Mahomes’ throws die at the end. 😜

He also occasionally makes house calls, which is more than we can say for just about every returner we’ve had since Terence McGee.

Landed on top of him and made no effort to shift his weight. That was an easy call. In the heat of the action the defensive player may not have realized Josh got rid of the ball, but still, no reason to drive through the QB like that. In general, I thought the calls and no-calls evened out pretty well, and the refs didn’t make themselves the center of the game. That’s pretty much all you can ask.

Just by opening up the field with that deep route he has already contributed more to the team this year than Codrington, and that’s without even looking at the 61-yard return.

On that very note, Jordan’s starting teammates in that game were Brad Sellers, Charles Oakley, Dave Corzine, and Sam Vincent.

I went to a Bulls-Sixers game at the Spectrum in early 1988 where MJ scored 49 points, 33 in the second half. It was an insane performance. He took one (1) three-pointer (and missed it) and went 9-12 from the line. We thought he could have had 65 or 70 if he had to. That’s the kind of thing we’re dealing with here.

My favorite was when he took a big sack late and almost before he hit the ground was motioning that there was contact to his helmet. They know that they would have lost yesterday’s game if Shedeur hadn’t been there to bail them out.

That’s the ballgame.

Again. You people who were dogging Josh Allen… ***** off.
