The Frankish Reich

Mahomes: 66 passes. 446 yards. 17 points ...

I'm sure he was announced. Just because Tirico and Collinsworth aren't paying attention doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Strip sack? Interception? Safety? Blocked punt/FG? That's all I got.

Thank you, Mecole, for wasting time there.

Well, at least they took the clock down to :16. No way they can do anything with that.

No flags!!! Will wonders never cease

We know the outcome, but we don't know exactly how that outcome will come.

There's your flag!

because they love us, and they want a playoff Bills-Chiefs rematch

They fooled me at the start, but now it's obvious that they have no faith in their small college QB to do anything but run.

Collinsworth pointing out that the Titans offense is very similar to the 49ers with the exception of having completely different skillsets at QB now and the 49ers being loaded with speedy playmakers while the Titans have none but do have a human battering ram. Like he said, very similar.

Neither of them is a Tua.

So we are back to the Year of No Offense in the second half. When does this end?

How are the Chiefs losing to a team that has completed 4 passes for 84 yards? The return of the Tebow offense.

If Tyreek is still on the Chiefs, they are winning this game. On the other hand: If Tannehill is healthy and AJ Brown is still there, the Titans are winning by a couple touchdowns.

So far I'm seeing that the way to stop Kelce is to have a much smaller man bear hug him until Mahomes gives up. So much for that "KC gets all the calls" thing.

Contrast of styles always makes for an interesting game.

Yeah, I give up on that strategic rooting thing. Just glad that we have an actual entertaining game that I'm watching today.

Yeah, that was ... weird.

So this was the real Punt God.

Agreed. I think they may have just found themselves their QB. Kind of worrying (looking ahead to the playoffs) that he seems to be getting it far quicker than most people assumed.

Line: we hate PFF. I know, I know ... ... but here it completely agrees with my perceptions: - Dawkins: good (PFF rating in the low 70s) - Saffold: awful (PFF rating in the mid-40s). How is it that he's actually been worse than Feliciano was? I wasn't expecting that. But old is old. - Morse/Bates/Brown/Quessenberry: marginal/replacement level (low 60s) It's awfully hard to trade for an O lineman and fit him in during the season. But that's kind of the move they needed to at least try to make. There's no in-house help (Boettger? Really?). It was rough watching the Jets get pressure late in the game on every dropback with a pure 4-man rush. We better get used to it and try to scheme around it as best we can.

I'd go with 80% garbage - Dawkins is generally solid.

Bucs - Rams: this new low offense NFL sucks.

Problem is the division is looking like it will not only be competitive, but actually good over the next few years. So we don’t get out Pats style 6 (or at least 5) easy wins every year.
