Success

I wonder why Adams would say no to a generational QB. Is he still mad at Rapp? The cold? The other teams in the mix are much less likely to contend for a title.

We are the least spoiled fans in the history of sports.

Glad we at least get an extra day w/ the injuries we have. At least we haven't lost anyone for the season - but man, that injury bug seems to get us every year.

I think Beane is getting this one done. Late night Beane is the best Beane.

I mean, people say we're more than 1 player away - but I'd disagree. Adding someone like Adams changes the way DC's would have to prepare. We simply don't have a guy like that right now. Defenses would have to put more focus on him, and it would open up the rest of the offense - Shakir is a more natural #2, Samuel #3, and so on. The league would not enjoy seeing this headline.

I didn't think it was going to be our year. But the state of the league over a month in has me believing that it could be. There really isn't a team we can't beat if we're on. I still say we win the Ravens game if not for that trick play call, and we are 50/50 to win against Houston at their place if we just don't pass the last 3 downs.

While I agree that we'll still put together a solid season "as is," it's pretty clear that we're lacking at WR right now. Coleman may develop more as the season goes on, but we have one of the weaker WR corps in the league and it will likely hold us back in the playoffs. I don't think trading a 2nd and maybe a player is a big deal in terms of holding us back in the future. We have more picks than usual next year. We can afford it.

If we're not in on Adams, I sure hope we're in on Cooper. It's fun to chant "Coooooop" too.

And if our coaching staff doesn't decide to pass from the endzone 3x, we're probably 4-1 and these guys are saying we're back on track by beating a top team in Houston on the road. Hot take city. We're not the best team in the league, but we're good & can be a contender by the end. We're breaking in a lot of new players.

2024: Mahomes has 6 TD's, 6 INT's. Allen has 10 TD's, 0 INT's. KC is winning. It's not golf.

Ridiculous reasoning. Why does Mahomes get a pass when there are a few injuries? Allen has had to work with sub-par talent most of his career here, and VERY sub-par coaching compared to Mahomes. And Allen was missing his #1 receiver last week too. You can think he's better. Lots of people do. But at worst, it's extremely close.

The bolded is actually hilarious.

That's some kind of take right there.

He had more plays w/ WIDE open receivers yesterday than Josh has had the the whole season.

I think Maye could be good for them - but the Pats will never win the division as long as Allen is QB for the Bills.

I thought he said on the sideline that it was his chest & not his head? I don't want JA put at risk in any way and agree that I'm okay w/ what they're doing here. But what do you mean by making peace w/ this season? We lost 2, so we are out of the running now?

"Terrible" seems like an extreme characterization to me. He had a bad day for him. He still played a pretty decent game, given the circumstances.

I'm right there on that hill w/ you. The line had their worst day of the year. He had no time. Receivers were NOT getting open. And they had very key drops. We're so used to Allen being Superman - and he still kind of was. He ran the ball great, and his throws looked fine to me. Kincaid should have had 2 big ones for 1st downs - right on the hands. The long Hollins throw could have been better, but it was catchable if he read it right. The long pass to Cook was perfect and he just missed getting his elbow in.

I mean, if we want speed, we can trade for Thornton. But obviously, speed isn't everything.

The Texans lost Nico, but we were without Shakir. And I completely disagree about the Bengals. They played well against the Ravens, but they are not better than the Bills and their record backs that up emphatically. As for getting blown out by 2 more teams - didn't we go about 40+ games here without getting blown out until the Ravens? Now we're going to get blown out 3x in under 2 months? This board really gets into sky-falling mode after a couple of losses. We will do much better this season than people think right now.

This is a stingy defense. I honestly think the key to this game is changing our 1st down philosophy, if you can call it that. We have to pass more than we run on that down. That really hurt us against Houston, and I think cost us the game. Nothing but runs on 1st down, leading to 2nd & 3rd and long every time. It makes the offense very one-dimensional and easy to defend.

That's about 10 hours of very unsatisfying football I've watched since yesterday morning. I might have to re-evaluate my life.

They get everyone's best shot. Gotta respect what they're doing. They're the new Patriots, and their fans are enjoying that. I'm jealous, but they paid dues and had tons of heartbreak and bad teams for many years.

Man, it is seriously hard to sack Mahomes. When it happens, you realize how rare it is.

I should appreciate watching Mahomes as a fan of the game. I do not.
