    Well, the last two times the Chiefs and Niners played, the Niners had 10-point leads and the Chiefs ended up winning (Super Bowl 54, regular season 2022).  So it's not safe but so San Fran just looks like the all-around better team.

    Yeah, KC doesn’t look like they have much of a chance, but I don’t trust Shanahan with the lead.

  2. Mayfield is the type of QB that’s easy for fans on this forum to like, but he’d drive you all crazy if he was our QB. Mayfield is very average. It seems forgotten that Tampa was only 9-8 this season. I suppose it was a good comeback year for Mayfield, but someone had to win that division. Mayfield got overrated from playing on a really good Tampa roster. Sure, the goat led them to a worse record, but he was completely washed, and didn’t seem mentally with it.

  3. I’d want to be significantly wealthy to ever consider it. It would have to be a situation where 10K is the equal of $10 financially. It’s not a matter of being about to afford it or not, it’s a matter of many other ways to spend thousands that seem more worthwhile than a few hours at a game. I’m sure the experience would be great, and I actually understand why diehard football fans would go, I just couldn’t justify it mentally. I’d rather spend that money on travel experiences.

    You are just as likely to get Sammy Watkins

    This sounds crazy, but if you got Watkins rookie year production with Allen at QB, along with Kincaid, Shakir, and Cook, we have a Super Bowl team. I’m not trying to offer a revisionist account of his career, rather putting aside fears of a first round bust receiver with Allen at QB.

    Really wish Diggs would have more self-awareness when he talks to the media. Every offseason it's the same cryptic messaging and it becomes a distraction.

    Yeah, people like to write off Diggs comments, and they probably don’t matter much, but I don’t get why he says this stuff. All he needs to say is I’m a Buffalo Bill, next question. 

  6. I don’t care what anyone says, if Josh Allen doesn’t win a title, it’s due to mismanagement of the franchise. Mahomes is a major roadblock to winning it all, but he won’t be in the Super Bowl every year for the rest of his career. Other teams will represent the AFC at various times. If it’s never Josh Allen, it means we’ve made some major mistakes.

    Go to 30:30.  Edelman talking about "the interceptions"  He says "these things are happening in the most important games he is playing where he's turning the ball over in the red area....and constantly happening".....this is the nonsense that these national media types love to spew even though it is not true.   I think Allen had one red zone INT this year and none n the 4th quarter and 0 turnover in the playoffs.  The overall topic is Allen needs to go further...ok great I agree but in the interest of this is a team game, has the problem against the Chiefs been Josh Allen???   Can anyone who actually knows the game and watched those games make that stupid argument?  Then he goes "a Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes team does not make those mistakes in the playoffs" and Shady agrees!, UGG   These guys all just listen to each other and don't actually know jack.  Compare Josh's turnovers to Mahomes in the  playoffs, that is not the problem.

    I agree, the issue is people take these talking heads too seriously. Some of what they say is for attention, other times these guys just aren’t that bright. I’m certain many of you who post here are more intelligent than Shady and Edelman. That’s mostly the issue with sports talk. 

  8. I don’t think we can, but I wish we could. We might have just watched Diggs get old and past his prime. It happens at different ages for every player. Hopefully I’m wrong, but receivers don’t have long careers these days. People were always clinging to hope that Diggs would thrive into his mid 30’s, but that’s actually quite rare.

    Fangio's an old school coach. A football lifer. McDaniel is an odd duck with odd affectations.

    Unpopular opinion: I think the Mike McDaniel thing is closer to souring completely and blowing up than it is to breaking through to championship level football.

    I think the team will continue to thrive in the early season, continue to falter later in the season and in the playoffs (if they make it that far).

    I think that, once they consistently start to not be able to break through, McDaniel's act is going to wear thin quickly and things are going to go south fast.

    I also think Tua is just good enough to get your hopes up every year, and just bad enough to dash them when the stakes are highest. 

    I do not buy this version of the Dolphins, with McDaniel as coach and Tua as QB, as being long term contenders to the Bills for AFC East supremacy.

    I agree, but I think the McDaniels experience going sour will have more to do with Tua than McDaniels. McDaniels will eventually have a decent career as coach elsewhere. Tua isn’t a championship QB, McDaniels has taken that team as far as they can go. I’m not sure how much more anyone expects a coach to accomplish with Tua. I know a lot of people find McDaniels “act” to be a bit much, but I doubt players feel that way.

    Yes we do. But I pray to God we don’t go after some speed dude with concrete for hands! 

    I mentioned this fear when Beane discussed speed at his presser. I hope they understand some of the best receivers are guys who had poor forty times. Getting open and catching the ball isn’t all about speed. Josh Allen needs a security blanket who can also make plays. Cook could have been that guy, but he has stone hands so far.

  11. I think Ben Johnson is making a wise move that too few coaches make, but he’s certainly betting on himself. It’s possible that he reached his peak value this offseason.  Waiting for the right opportunity makes sense for long term success, but an OC’s value can go down in a hurry as well.

    McCarthy is going to be an interesting one to me. He's not a top end guy with the physical intangibles...but in the right system I really think he can do well. He's a guy that may have to helped with a solid run game behind him as well. 

     

    I think of him in the Brock Purdy tier as his ceiling. 

    I like the Purdy comparison, but that’s why I’m confused with the McCarthy first round pick hype. I agree with others that he doesn’t seem like a first rounder. He actually reminds me of someone like AJ McCarron or Greg McElroy at Bama back in the day. A game manager on a really good college football team. His draft hype is one of the more confusing things I’ve ever seen.
