That's actually false. He's 50-24. In the same time period, the Chiefs are 54-20.

68-76, actually. You may be forgetting to include the first 4 games of 2016 (they went 3-1) and also the fact that while Brady started game one of the 2008 season, he went down early in the first quarter with the score tied 0-0. They won that game with Cassel. Perhaps more importantly, he is 27-19 since 2008 without Brady.

KC is 4th in yards, 1st in both plays and yards per drive, and 10th in points. I know they are held to a high standard, but their offense has been objectively pretty good this season. Mahomes' stats are just a tick under Allen's too.

Yup. And Rex's character assassination of Saleh given this grim situation is really low.

Not what i am saying at all. The picture I cited with the hand showing was clear, at least to me. Blowing it up to the point where it lacks resolution only makes it a blur - akin to looking at a Monet painting close up. Regardless, I feel pretty strongly that he didn’t catch it, but I realize that’s hard to argue this on a homer board (not meant pejoratively, btw) after it gets celebrated on a lousy NFL network show.

That is a blur of nothingness,. Not sure of your point. Dude, take it easy.

Didn't know that about Lock. Another reason for Bridgewater to protect himself so he can live to fight another day.

Chiefs are 6-4 and they will win that division.

I am NOT a Bridgewater fan at all, but this is a guy who had a truly terrible injury and came back. He can't play D and can't really move laterally all that well anymore. I'm not justifying it -- it's a terrible look -- but he may well being coached to steer clear of contact if possible given the leg injury history. The bigger issue: Drew Lock is even worse, and they are a plausible playoff contender. Him going down on what would presumably have been a failed attempt at a tackle wouldn't have done the team any good. To reiterate, though, terrible look.

Watch it again. I probably shouldn't belabor the point, but that right foot never got down because he clearly bobbled it. Watch at the 0:15 mark onward. That would have been overturned without the PI. It was still a GREAT play.

Don't think so, but I honestly don't know for sure.

No, that's not how it works. And I just pointed out to you that the photo doesn't show his right foot down; it shows the Jets defender's glove on the ground. That seems very clear to me. I just watched it again, and I don't see that foot ever getting down. But ultimately it doesn't matter; there was PI and the effort was good. I am not trying to criticize Davis. Don't disagree that it was a tough one! When I watched it live with 3 other people, no one thought he got both feet down. Again, though, good throw, good effort, and the PI may have been what caused to not get the foot down anyway.

His right foot isn't down there. You're seeing the Jets players glove, which blends into Davis's shoe.

His passing numbers do not tell you anything about how well he played. He made a bunch of big plays at crucial moments.

Disagree! I don't think he ever got the inside foot down.

Um … he didn’t actually get the second foot down. It was pretty clear. The Jets didn’t challenge because it wouldn’t have mattered given the PI call.

Enh ... the 2018 Bears were a legit SB contender, and Mack was the best player on that team. They were bad the year before, and he helped take them the next level. Who knows how far they would have gotten if they didn't have that FG disaster vs Philly. And he's hardly the problem there now; he's continuing to play at a very high level.

I get that, but the last time Wentz played in Buffalo, he played really well. It wasn't that long ago!

I hope you're right about Sunday ... but I think you're wrong about him.

I think Wentz's season last year isn't really being seen correctly. Yes, he was terrible, but if you look at the past five seasons including this one, last year was the outlier. Wentz's production this season is squarely in line with his production between 2017-19, when he was at least a moderately above-average QB. His performance this year looks like a pretty simple case of regression to the median: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WentCa00.htm. He has a 17/3 TD/INT ratio, which is excellent. The ratio was 27/7 (also excellent) in 2019, a year in which he carried a decimated team on his back to the playoffs. I know @GunnerBill really thinks he stinks now, but the results suggest otherwise.

The fish rots from the head. They have a very bad owner, just like the Knicks.

You may laugh, but divisional games can be tougher than one expects and Jax is playing teams tough now for the most part. They put 454 yards (198 rushing) vs TN earlier this season: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202110100jax.htm. TN will probably win, but I don’t see it as a gimme. Miami is kinda the same deal. But yeah, on paper it’s a pretty easy schedule overall.

You kind of have to root for the Pats because vs. the Pats, the Bills can control their own destiny. Vs. Tennessee, they can't. They need help.

This is a phenomenal interview. He has some great takes on the Jets too. Recommended. I recommend watching it. There’s a lot of other good stuff in it. In particular, he has a long and convincing explanation about why lining up under center a lot more would probably do the Bills offense some good.

Um … the Bills moved in the draft to take Josh Allen.
