Blah. Blah, blah, blah.

This thread brings back such memories. Prompted me to go back and watch the highlights of the season opening Monday night game against the Raiders in '74. To this day the best Monday night game I ever saw.

I think it's Paul Krausse? Maybe Ken Houston.

I thought they have independent physicians that monitor the concussion protocol. If so, then Glenn has nothing to complain about.

Tom Janik or Hagood Clarke.

Great stuff! McDole, Sestak, Dunaway, Day, Tracey, Jacobs, Stratton. Best front 7 ever.

Refs have a thankless job. The game moves so quickly now and collisions are so forceful that it becomes impossible to get every call right. And as more and more rules are added on that rely on subjective interpretations at such speed it is no wonder there is a lot more controversy. Personally, I would scale back on some of the rules (like the calls on hitting a QB; the one on Milano was particularly absurd), let DBs play receivers more, and finally just do away with replay altogether. The only replays I'd allow would be for whether a first down is achieved or not or whether the ball breaks the plane on a TD play. Otherwise accept that it is a game played and officiated by humans and that some human error is inherent.

Based on the title of the thread and the content, your user name seems particularly appropriate.

Check another team off the wild card list.

Why?

No chance

I think $$. Lost some guys to free agency

What happened with Goff is the common misconception about what wins football. Goff lost some good O linemen and now he is getting more pressure. I know I’m old fashioned but football starts up front. Win the battles up front, win the games.

Mahomes is a real talent. To deny that is silly. Unfortunately for him he works under a HC who will screw up his chances at a title

Go back through my posts and you'll See plenty of critique. I just don’t go out of my way to hijack threads to do so.

Pretty accurate though. It must hurt that it goes against your dislike for Allen.

Yep. And not win the SB because of their HC.

Reid will never win a Super Bowl

One of my fondest memories of the AFL days, besides the championships, hanging in the Cardinal O’Hara locker room with the Bills when my dad would ref their basketball games, catching a pass from Jack Kemp, having Cookie pick me up and put me on his shoulders, seeing the Hit Heard Round the World? Watching guys bring cases of Genny into the Rockpile for games.

What’s that sonny? Can’t hear you...

I get where you’re coming from

You can find straight line WRs elsewhere and when Foster heals up he plays that role

O linemen take time to develop. Ford will be at minimum a mauler at G.

Mahomes is great but very few if any imagined he’d be this good before he was drafted. He has Reid as a great OC but Reid is a terrible HC who will get the Chiefs into the playoffs but then muck things up. I think McD wins a SB before Reid.

That clinches it then. Kenmore East Class of 73 here.
