That looked a dude in high school dominating the lesser team.

Well said, that’s what we’ve done in the playoffs at times. Coaching staff have essentially said it’s up to the big guys to be able to get one yard. Well.. when you have Allen at QB, proving the toughness of your oline isn’t priority.

45 minutes from OP to Niagara Falls? Clearly the driver isn’t from the area.

It reminds me of the championship games against KC. We have a good thing going, and then he needs to find a way to destroy it.

That series was crap. That’s amateur play calling. Every bit as bad as the first drive was good.

I really don’t need Colinsworth and Tirico’s psychoanalysis of Allen.

Fair, but Lamar’s passing success is still dependent on the run game working imo. They just have an exceptional run game in large part due to Jackson.

I almost forgot why I love the NFL so much.

I don’t care what anyone says, I still don’t think Jackson can beat you as a pocket passer if the run game is taken away.

Allen is so clearly the best QB in the league. I can’t even watch other NFL games anymore.

I don’t need Allen called runs already.

This is a very old fashioned take, I don’t see too many balding middle aged men on tv anymore, even Drew Brees got a hair transplant. With that said, I agree.

You’re not necessarily wrong, but I think the Chiefs believed they had that luxury. I don’t think all GM’s value big physical every down receivers the way fans do. I agree, they were desperate for the next Tyreek Hill, but Hill became a superstar, and he certainly wasn’t the type of prototype dominant receiver I grew up watching. Worthy does play like a little guy, but the Chiefs wanted big plays, he can still provide those. We drafted Coleman because we wanted a physical receiver who can thrive against tight coverage. Teams draft for different needs. Worthy had 59 receptions last season, that’s a decent rookie year. I don’t know why so many want to convince themselves he’s garbage.

There must be some code of honor in the NFL fraternity nowadays. I’ve never understood why opponents don’t do everything in their power to get under Kelce’s skin. He has tantrums on the field quite easily when things don’t go his way. We don’t see it often because things typically go in favor of KC. I’ve always thought annoying Kelce would be a good way to slow down his production, and maybe even get him tossed from a game. The NFL just doesn’t have the goon role like the older days.

KC was in the position where they have the luxury of drafting a player with a limited skillset. It was toward the end of the first round, and I’m sure they viewed him as a role player, but one who could contribute to more Super Bowl wins.

Exactly, it seems obvious that a larger object colliding with someone smaller is bad for the smaller person. However, I think there’s a lot more at play, I’m not a science guy, but NFL players seem equally injury prone. While other players happen to be somewhat immune to injury with good fortune. Remember, these 165 pound NFL players aren’t skin and bones. These guys are in peak condition, and likely more muscle bound than the average 230 pound dude on the street. I’m sure smaller players don’t absorb hits as well, but once again, there’s more at play. Being a large human (muscular or not) puts a lot of stress on the body also. They might absorb hits better, but their joints, bones, and muscles must work really hard. I just think these things really even out the injury risk.

I agree, I’m not saying we’re going to see a bunch of elite small guys. It’s just the injury factor for those guys is severely overrated imo. The reason we don’t see a bunch of QB’s under 6’2 is because they can’t see the field, not due to injury risk. The same holds true for size at other positions for different reasons.

I understand that, but most of those guys are role players, slot receivers, and change of pace running backs. They aren’t the type you’d draft in the first round to begin with. If a guy at 165lbs were a dominant receiver for a big time program, I wouldn’t hesitate taking him in the first round.

Davonta Smith is 170lbs and seems to be doing just fine. Cole Beasley had a nice career at 174. I just think it’s false to assume these guys are going to injured anymore than the next guy. I hear you, but it reminds me of the DaVonta Smith argument when Philly drafted him. I didn’t understand, because if a 170 pound guy survives high level college football, why are we assuming he’ll be injured in the NFL? Yes, NFL players are more physically gifted, but SEC football players are big dudes too.

I’ve never seen too much correlation between weight and injury issues. Think of the small slot receivers over the years who were incredibly durable. Is there a chance someone at that size is injury prone? Absolutely, but I don’t think it’s a major concern. Then you have guys like Bosa and Gronk who were always injured.

Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a celebration/taunt based on a short gain on second down.

I really thought that flag was going to be roughing the passer.

Credit to him though, I was expecting him to bail out of bounds, but he kept pushing up field.

Here they go.

Funny how they keep trying to convince us the entire world cares about the NFL. Brazilians are the loudest, wildest people at concerts and soccer games, yet this crowd seems super chill.
