31-30, good guys

This was something I noticed with TJ Watt last night. He repeatedly went inside to try and pressure Mahomes, allowing him to easily roll to his right & complete a pass for a big play. Early in the game, Watt was playing contain and the game was even. Then after Watt scored the TD, he started rushing inside the RT sometimes & Mahomes utterly destroyed them every time he did it. I don't know if that was by design, or just Watt trying to add sacks to his resume, but it certainly contributed to the butt-kicking.

Colts or Chargers would murder this Eagles team. Despite Hurts having decent fantasy stats, he's just not a good NFL QB. The Eagles were a totally different team when Minshew was at QB, I'm surprised they didn't give him another shot.

I was harsh on Singletary for much of this year. I knew the run blocking was a major problem, but I thought Devin was too slow to be effective. Boy was I wrong, major props to him. The blocking scheme now complements his style perfectly. I love how he always squeezes out another yard or three when he's initially stopped.

The lack of pass rush is concerning. Mac has way too much time when we rush 4, and they keep executing screens when we blitz.

Kapernick holds the record with 264, he also has 2nd place with 243. Allen has the #6 spot with 145 in 2020.

I just re-watched the 94' playoff game vs the Raiders, there were multiple missed XPs in that cold, and that was before the moved XPs back. I expect some of that today, hopefully not us. 7-3 10-9 17-9 27-15

That was freaking awesome. As a child of the 80s, I knew all the lines from the movie & loved it. I'm guessing those who thought it was "meh" didn't grow up with the movie.

Hopefully we can make Mac Jones look bad enough that Belicheat calls it quits soon after the game. McDaniels will be his successor, and he's a proven imbecile as a HC, so it should be fun for us.

Why would Flores want that job? He'll surely have other options. The organization will still be a complete mess for at least another 1-2 seasons. Nobody with options is taking the Texans' job on the off chance Watson is even cleared to play, let alone wants to stay. The next coach will be in the same position Culley was and will likely be gone in a year or 2.

Not allowing batteries is likely so fans can't take them out & throw them onto the field. There's been a few incidents involving players getting with a battery when walking off the field, Cleveland was one of them.

Henry Jones was right there with Walker & makes no impact on the play at all. Walker did push off a little, but I can't see that happening with our current safeties.

This. I think it happened 3 times in the game, receiver reads the coverage one way on the option route, Josh reads it the other & the pass looks like it missed by 15 feet. I know at least one was to Diggs. It happened 2x in the Falcons game too. A couple of Josh's INTs this year are a direct result of this happening.

Steelers need to imitate the Bucs defensive gameplan from the super bowl. If they can pressure Mahomes & limit him, they could possibly squeak out a win. It'd probably still take a Pitt Defensive or ST TD to outscore them.

Hopefully Stevenson

I have Bears fans all around me, and so far they see Daboll as a promising option. The Bears job looks like a flaming turd on paper. They really have to trade Mack if they want to rebuild, though I don't know if he'd be worth a 1st rounder with that contract, unless they want the Rams next available 1st in 2030... But if they could shed that contract & end up with a 1st, the situation becomes a lot better. Depending on what he thinks of Fields, Daboll could bite.

There's no guarantee that Trubisky would be any better than Wentz. The Bears did make the playoffs with Mitch, but not BECAUSE of him. What Wentz did in 2017 blows away anything Trubisky has ever done, he would've been MVP if not for the injury. I know Wentz is not the same player anymore, but it least he once was that player. In Chicago, Trubisky was not a complete QB. He had issues reading coverages, and Nagy was using half-field reads at times to make it easier. I think Mitch will be better after his time with Daboll & Josh, but I can't see him going anywhere next year & being a top-15 QB. I think he's great as a backup, but I doubt any coach/GM is going to tie their job security solely to him.

I saw a bunch of blankets at the Atlanta game. People just brought them in draped over their neck & shoulders.

The zone runs have made the difference, but another major factor has been Bates at LG. It sucks that it takes a serious injury to another OL to realize you have a really good one who hadn't been playing, but that's exactly what happened.

The Good: Josh's lateral to Knox to get both the first down & out of bounds... and it worked! That was a high IQ play. The Bad: The miscommunication by the WRs/TE. We've had at least 5 plays in the past 2 games where Josh throws to one spot and the receiver goes the opposite direction. That has to get fixed.

FWIW- the Raiders coach has said they are playing to win.

This is a really good list, I have to agree with all of these.

The NFL has a rule for max distance from a city to use it in the team name, I think it's 50 miles.

A retractable roof would be better than a dome. Only close it on the extreme days, like the Pats game or heavy rain. If you've never seen an NFL game in a dome, it really sucks. The awesome game day atmosphere is gone, and the noise advantage takes a big hit. It seems so quiet at a game indoors.
