There’s a lot of football to be played and it’s a week by week league. The Ravens seem snake bitten with injury and that could easily be the Chiefs in a matter of weeks with all the injuries. They’ve got a lot of wear and tear across that defense given all the extra playoff games.

If football didn’t work out for Walker the big guy had the feet for Dancing with the Stars.

He’s definitely doing things not seen since the early 90s.

Undermanned comes down to a little bit of luck, and strategy to not let minor injuries snowball into major injuries.

The white walkers are good as long as there is no Stark on the Patriots.

Gang tackling is an always preferred. Bosa missing on the edge multiple times losing containment - not good enough. First TD missed tackles by Taron, Rapp and finally Tre. Too many guys appear to be making business decisions and not going all out. Or it could be all 3 of those guys are 29, 28 and 30 years old and showing signs of aging out.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to give a game to Landon Jackson is Groot is compromised to the point he isn’t doing much on game film. I’m not a coach my assumption is he is healthy enough to play. Has he flashed on the tv broadcast? No. Is he 100% healthy? No. Is he better than Landon Jackson? Yes.

90 wins is a good feat. The question is will McDermott ever be good enough to take his team to the promised land by outcoaching Reid & Spags in a playoff game?

Lamar was unable to do anything versus the Chiefs outside the first drive everything looked impossible.

I see some similarities but Kamara is the more polished all-purpose RB. His receiving prowess stands out. Career games: Kamara 118 Cook 52 1,000 yards rushing: Kamara 0 Cook 2 100yd rush games: Kamara 11 Cook 9 Rush TDs: Kamara 61 Cook 24 Receving TDs: Kamara 25 Cook 7 Avg Rush GM: Kamara 59 Cook 56.2 Avg Rec GM: Kamara 40.8 Cook 18.3 Avg Total Yds GM: 99.8 to 74.5

In a hypothetical 3 team race using 10^5+ Monte Carlo odds for the #1 seed, if KC wins our odds are 76%, if BAL wins our odds are 79. I will take a 3% point increase every week!

KC losing would be huge given their week back 9 of the schedule and the fact they have star caliber WRs returning soon. BAL has tough games all season and will take more L’s given Henry’s fumbling issues and accelerated age.

I like winning comfortably. I dislike things being tied in the second half or worse we are trailing. Get me to a nice 2-score lead by halftime and I’m good.

The best predictor of outcome beside turnover margin is 3rd and 4th down efficiency and RZ %. To that end I think I the Saints will end up 6/16 and go 2/4. Meaning we should expect another 20 points against. Luckily for us the Saints defense is trash and hitting 40+ for the first time since we played Baltimore’s poverty week 1 is possible. Bills 47 Saints 23.

Take the best attributes of each one of these QBs and you have a legit NFL QB at Mahomes, Lamar or Allen’s level.

The best defense against this play is not giving up 8-9 yards on 1st and 2nd down.

KC has Worthy and Rice. They will be fine by week 7.

The Kelly nephew code name AK-47.

I heard amputation followed by robotic arm, return week 2.

Ravens fans seem to be a confident bunch outside of playing the Chiefs. It’s like looking in the mirror.

7-1 at home sans Chiefs 0-0 on road sans year 2 season Road playoff wins: Burrow 3-1 Mahomes 2-0 Lamar 1-2 Allen 0-4 Get the #1 Seed and have the easiest path to the Super Bowl.

Home-field matters in the playoffs. Allen 7-2 at home. 0-4 on the road.

It’s a long season.

Kelce is not really big by TE and just was 2 steps into his break so it wasn’t even two guys colliding at full speed. Worthy is a gimmicky player and not looking like the next Tyreek.

Cook has all the cards in this situation. Sure he could be out $5.4m but no one can force him to play in 2025. It may backfire on him come 2026, I can imagine there are a handful of teams that will pay him what he wants.
