Bermuda Triangle

'88 Divisional Round

Unfortunately, I agree. Great player, but nobody beats Father Time.

Why would one rely on guys like Benford and White staying healthy over the course of a season, and in the case of White, playing well?

If Beane continues as the GM, yes.

I don't really pay attention to what KC fans think or say. My point was that Mahomes should have been flagged for the taunt (it was not just a point - he flexed at Branch, but you know this) - the NFL has specifically said that taunting was going to be a point of emphasis in 2025. So, what happened here? I'm done here - now back to the Mahomes Lovefest.

Do you honestly feel like these examples are the same as delivering a cheap shot to a player? Allen is a known trash-talker - his peers have stated as much. He was flagged for taunting the Bengals, BTW. I don't remember the Miami taunt.

I'm sure that Branch will be fined, at a minimum. Smith Shuster will be fined as well. However, I'd be surprised if Mahomes was reprimanded for his actions, despite the NFL proclaiming in the off-season that taunting would be a point of emphasis for the 2025 season.

It's just common sense that actions have repercussions.

Roof is going to be open tonight.

It's been that way for over a season, IMO.

Justified? No. But if I take a cheap shot at a player late in a game which has essentially been decided, I'm going to keep my head on a swivel, and not expect to get "dapped" up following the game by the guy I just cheap shotted a few minutes earlier. But nobody has accused Smith Shuster of having any self-awareness. I'm not aware of Mahomes punching anyone (maybe in part because he knows he might get punched back?) while in the NFL. He comes off as a petulant whiner - its; easy to be graceful in victory, and the Chiefs have won a lot since he's been in the league.
