Success

Today wasn't fun. I didn't have fun today.

It's so fun to be famous.

Those Mahomes runs are insanely frustrating. I suppose that's how people feel about facing Allen. TN self-destructed in this one. They really had it. Every week sure is gonna be exciting from here on out.

That felt like the game for TN.

Gotta give it up to Vrabel. His teams aren't the most talented - but they are well coached and keep most of their games close.

I'll feel a whole lot better about today if the Chiefs lose.

Love the "Memphis BBQ is better" sign in the crowd....

I mean, I guess - if the blueprint requires 2 extremely uncharacteristic INT's.

Too soon.

It was, for sure, an INT.

That's a good, common sense perspective. I think we're more fortunate this year, because we have just a little more breathing room (where the Jags game last year set us back for awhile). I'm still very confident, but today was a surprise. The Jets are pretty good, though. They are not a joke.

GOOD But, I love the Doritos ads.

Sorry; I made this comment on another thread, but thought it might deserve its own. It was just a vague feeling I had during the last game. He looked just a little more tentative, and (at least to me), it didn't seem like he was playing the game with the abandon we usually see from him. I think it's possible the coaches saw the schedule, and saw how we looked kind of unstoppable, and realized what I think some of us fans tend to think: the only thing that can derail us this season is an injury to the QB. I think they coached him up on that, to try to stay away from risk as much as possible. He looked like that again today, to me. Yes, he still ran, and made some big runs. But it still didn't seem like the guy we've gotten used to seeing for a few years. What makes Josh Allen great is that he plays the game like a kid. He stiff arms a guy & the roll and tumble out of bounds together, and he gets up laughing. He doesn't hesitate - he does what he needs to do. I have re-evaluated my own stance on how he plays. I have always thought they need to protect him more, especially from himself - but I think I was wrong. I think they just need to let him be who he is.

Oh, for the sake of pete. We're beating a better MN team by 3 scores next week. Nothing against the Jets, who I think are solid. But it was just a game. They won't beat us in Buffalo. They had the better gameplan today.

It's overreaction Sunday. He's in a mini-swoon. A VERY mini-swoon. 6 quarters. But, if I had to guess: I think the coaches were thinking like me, and some other fans. We're rolling - and the only thing that can derail us is if JA gets injured. I think they are over-coaching him, and he's thinking too much. It has caused me to re-evaluate my own position. Josh has to be Josh. Let him play the game the way he wants to play the game. He's at his best that way.

This isn't quite the Jags game - but kinda close. Jets are legit, though. They won't beat us in Buffalo, but they're a solid team.

So.....why aren't we using a timeout just before the 2-minute warning?

Good to see Bass right down the middle there.

I like what I see out of Cook - even on that small gain.

Well, we've got us a good ol' fashioned division game - hard fought and likely down to the wire. I love these. I like blowouts better - but games like this pay dividends in the playoffs.

I just have this weird feeling that they are over-coaching JA, and he's thinking too much. They really have to just let him be who he is.

Epenesa w/ instant redemption.

The cam thing is a break for us. D was getting tired. They have to re-group, and take this game seriously. The Jets are a solid team.

Any "Jaws" sequel that had the tagline, "this time it's personal."

Just curious what others think - because I see that all the time on opposing fans message boards, and I don't relate to it. I think the window will be WIDE open as long as JA is QB, and Beane is GM. I don't need any more proof from either. JA is elite, and Beane seems like a wizard w/ the cap, who knows how to build an A1 team for today, and also keep an eye on building a model for success that's sustainable. We'll lose players like all great teams do, but he is a very good drafter, finds gems in FA, and has a real vision for keeping this team in contention. I think we'll be knocking on the door for a title every year for at least a decade. I tend to lean homer, but I also think this is objective based on how good these guys are at their jobs. What say you?
