Looks like the Ravens are the real Cardiac Kids this season. All three of their games could be considered classics for different reasons.

I get the "you are what your record is" thing, but the Broncos are 3-0 vs. teams that are a combined 0-9. Ravens, even banged up, should be a good test for them.

I might be willing to do a very tentative buy on the Raiders. But we've seen this movie before, especially under Gruden. Let's see what's up come November.

Not too worried about DC. I don't think anyone was touching the Bills yesterday, the way they were going.

I don't care how bad they've looked, I'm not about to write off the Steelers. Same for the Colts.

As great as Pat Mahomes is, and as successful/legendary as Brady is, I'm not sure I've seen a QB who makes it just look as effortless as Rodgers does. He's really something.

The primetime games this year (except for the CAR-HOU clunker) so far have been fire.

The comp in the AFC is crazy this year nobody would have predicted that the Chiefs would be in last place at the end of September.

They’re gonna need to hit more HRs in the draft to extend the run. Crazy to think that both they and the Ravens could be 0-3

Russ is gonna go to Seattle and make them choose between him and Pete as he should.

Rookie QBs are being hit with a potent dose of reality after they all shined in the preseason
Regarding the first point, I’d still have KC as the favorites. They’ve had some very fluky turnover luck in opponent territory which is taking points off the field.
In this past game you had an int off the receivers’ hands, hill and CEH fumble all in LAC territory where you’re looking at anywhere from 9-21 off the board

  • Justin Fields is eating his words about the game being slow to him.
  • Zach Wilson is horrible.
  • Kyle Shanahan will continue to lose 49ers games they had no business losing because he turtles at the end.
  • Tampa Bay needs a secondary.
  • The Giants just aren't any good and won't be for a while.
  • The Chiefs have been figured out. The Bucs figured them out and the blueprint is being used. They could be 0-3 right now in a very competitive AFC West.

They've scored 33, 36 and 24 points this year. I wouldn't say that's being figured out. 24 yesterday was good considering those fumbles and deflected INT

Plus the Bucs weren't the ones who "figured out" their D. Their D has been their weaker point from time.

What's scoring when you aren't winning? There's a blueprint and teams are following it to a tee. The Browns could have won that Week 1 game.

The real issue is that Mahome's playstyle is biting them the way it did in 2018.

Teams area actually intercepting his passes, unlike last year where he literally had some 15 dropped interceptions.

Like I said before, Mahomes is that play extender, backyard football gunslinger like Brett Favre. That style has a weakness.

The chiefs could have won this game and the Ravens game

That offense still has another gear. Until a non Tom Brady led team beats Mahomes in the playoffs they got the juice.

I learned that nobody on the steelers cares about winning cause if they did they would sitout until they bench this flabby loser muthafukka here

Man I don’t know why they’re so tied to this man. Get him out of here. Prep for the future man lol. Cincinnati might end up doing better than Pittsburgh because these fools are loyal to Ben smh. They better figure something out soon

The Chiefs situation:

You can't win consistently in this league without a running game. Chiefs can't win off of Mahomes arm with a mediocre defefense. Some games against weaker competition? Sure, but in the NFL when you’re beasting, opponents figure out how to stop you. May take a season or 2 but they’ll figure it out. You shut down Hill, that squad starts to look far less prolific. They need a 2nd receiver to take over. Hill is not a bonafide #1. Too small. They also need a running game in the worst way. Their D is suspect. Mahomes came into the league making risky plays. That shyt wasn't going to last forever. Defences are too smart.
The are missing Sammy Watkins and it shows

Come on, breh. It’s week 3. Didn’t they go 6-4 or some shyt the season they won the Super Bowl?
I can’t believe y’all got me defending AFC West rivals.:scusthov:
Agree....Mahomes the reason (well part of) why they made it to 2 SBs in a row and won one. In the Alex Smith era, they didn't even make it to one SB and Chiefs had a better D and ST back then.

Garropolo ain't it. That's a really good 49ers roster with a pretty good HC but Jimmy is holding them back

Upgrading from the Lions coaching and playcalling to McVay has got to be like driving a used Civic to driving a brand new Tesla for Stafford

Speaking of coaching, Nagy ain't it

McD also gonna get Mac killed in NE.

New coaches, new QB, same old Jets :mjlol:

Browns an example of finally getting a HC who knows what he's doing

I haven't seen a DL dominate games like Donald since Reggie White. He's gonna go down as one of the GOAT DLs when he's done.
