You're underestimating the power of hate watching and how many Swifties their are. They're the new Cowboys. TV Ratings will be through the roof.

Yeah. It sucks.

Nice to have some optimism in here to be honest. I agree with Groot and people seem to be unreasonably down on him because of the KC game where Mahomes was getting the ball out so quick it didn't matter. The one thing we all know about Beane is he tries to address exactly went wrong in our last playoff game. Elam and Douglas struggled. Either paying Benford and drafting a 1st or 2nd round CB wouldn't surprise me. Signing Reed and extending Benford would be mildly surprising. I'd be all in on it. I just think if they try and go that route they're going to get outbid by some bottom feeding team with a lot of cap space willing to give him 18 to 20 million a year. Plus, that's assuming he doesn't just re-sign with the Jets.

I wouldn't hate it but this regime has never paid for two above average outside CB's. We'd also have to nail the draft to fix the d-line.

If we committed that much money to him I think we'd have to just let Benford play out his rookie deal and then hope to get a comp pick out of it. Supplement that with a day one or two pick on a CB this year to become Benford's replacement. I don't hate the idea but there's this pesky salary cap thing that might prevent it.

It just takes one team to overpay him though. I love the idea but it's always hard bidding for a free agent that's pry the best available at his position.

Brady

Rousseau and Oliver played 70 to 80% of the snaps in most games. It's not a 50/50 split and not that unusual around the league to rotate players in.

I saw this tweeted out late last night and I just thought the guy's account got hacked. Stunning. That's not a bad comparison. I think maybe if the trade was a couple of years ago when Allen was Doncic's age.

I think it's reached a point (especially this year) where it's more of a personnel problem than a coaching problem. Beane not acquiring top defensive talent was pretty evident when you saw how the Texans defended the Chiefs vs. our defense against him. They have some stud DE's and good young corners. We don't and that should be the focus this off-season. You're not going to out coach Andy Reid but you can out GM Brett Veach.

I was kidding about the McDermott praise. The tricky thing about all these contracts is we don't know who wants to get extended now or who wants to "bet on themselves." I think if the price makes sense you make it a priority to extend Benford and Rousseau this off-season. I wouldn't be mad if they extend Shakir or Cook at the right price. If not, let them play out their rookie deal. I wouldn't even think of engaging with Bernard until after next year though.

Oh, they care. We saw that on full display with Schefter last weekend singling out the most recognizable player in an attempt to quell the conspiracy that the fix was in by promising to include replay assist on certain penalties. They're scared to death of the thought of the game being fixed because they fully went all in on gambling.

McDermott shilling for that 3rd round comp pick and/or jacking up Cook's trade value. I've got a feeling for the first time in McBeane's tenure we're going to have a training camp holdout with Cook. If I'm him I want to get paid top dollar now with a 16 TD season averaging 4.9 ypc.. Especially with the momentum of the running back making a comeback phenomenon that seems to have gripped the league this year with Barkley and Henry. I guess we'll see how much they value a RB with Benford, Groot, Shakir, and Bernard not locked up beyond next year. They might value RB more with Brady as the play caller so who knows.

As a Chiefs fan do you guys find him as insufferable as every other fan base?

The legion of boom went from elite to mediocre pretty quick after 2016. Seahawks were 1-4 after that in playoff games. Recency bias pry clouded my judgment of how good he was during his prime.

If I was McDermott and Beane I would make a thousand copies of this graph and pin it throughout the building. Do whatever it takes to fix this.

That's coaching too. I remember all the conspiracies about the Patriots not fumbling because their was less air in the ball. No. It's coaching. It might regress slightly to the mean next year but not to the point where we'll even flirt with being in the negative territory with turnovers. Bills have perfected that peanut punch more than any other team.

What's funny is Jerry waited and then paid five million per year more than any other QB. Why? I think $60m per year is fair for Josh considering he'd then be making at least five million more per year than Burrow and Lamar (the only other two starting QB's in his tier that's worth the money).

The Eagles are so unlikable though. Siriani, Fangio, Brown, Carter, Hurts. Just not fans. Saquon and the running back resurgence is a cool story this year I guess. The best Super Bowl result imo is an Eagles blowout with Saquon winning MVP and Mahomes throwing five picks all in the direction of Kelce.

Offense looked fine to me on Sunday. Fix the defense first. You can't rely on a bend don't break defense predicated on splash plays/forcing turnovers to beat good teams in the playoffs. We need serious upgrades on that side of the ball.

I've got a great bridge to sell you.

I'm cool with that. Can they make it next year? Maybe Josh can pull a Peyton Manning or Big Ben and get two.

The common thing I've learned from being emotionally invested in a team in the NFL that will never change is.... Losing Sucks.

It wouldn't be that crazy. John Fox was fired after a 12-4 season with the Broncos after winning the division four times in a row and had a Super Bowl appearance. Broncos won the Super Bowl the next year. Obviously, McDermott isn't going to get fired this year but if a similar result happens next year then Pegula needs to try a different course. McDermott can definitely build a grand piano but I'm not sure he can play it. I hear you but there's also part of me who's always believed go with what you got you here. Ty Johnson played in the two minute drill all year and was very good in it as both a blocker and pass catcher. Thing is though they really didn't have to be in a two minute drill when you had around three and half minutes remaining with all your timeouts.

From what I've seen reported 67 people in all were involved in the crash. Man I pray for the families of all of them as I can't imagine what's going through their head right now.
