There are "fans" - and then there are those willing to lose digits

Nobody cares about your mock draft.

So it begins again!

Not a big Chiefs fan, but I like them for tomorrow and not opposed to have them be the first three-time in-a-row champs.

Obligatory 'Go Cowboys!'

Dak is seriously overrated.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

With the amount of turnovers and time of possession, the Chiefs should've one by more than 27-20. Especially since they were literally a toe away from losing.

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

this is pretty common actually, after a bunch of blowouts in the early days they have gone to close calls on every game it seems

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Great game last night. In summary... Love Hurts.

 

[scrap iron]

Where there's smoke there's fire on the field and Bar B Que tailgating. You can almost smell it. Go Chiefs

This may be the only time this year (or even many, perhaps) that this is legit: The New England Patriots are in First Place in their Division!

Go PATS!

 

[Kent88]

Well we're 5 games in, and only two undefeated teams remain: Mahomes in Kansas City, and (checks notes) Sam Darnold in Minnesota.

Show of hands, who called it?

...

You're all liars.

Football is weird.

 

[day_trippr]

Any day the Dallas Cowboys lose is a great day for America!

 

[day_trippr]

TB giving KC a ton of grief tonite, and while KC usually wins in the end they may not pull that off tonight...

[edit] Call me "El Wrongo" cuz KC won with an opening TD in OT...

 

[day_trippr]

Loves me a good Snow Bowl!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I actually hate all the computer enhancements to show yard lines and markers. Screw that. It's snow and chaos. Play on and guess

 

[day_trippr]

If only someone had a tractor-mounted sweeper

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Shhhhhhhhh

 

[Kent88]

Well the lions are 10-1 and first place in the to NFC.

The end is nigh.

 

[day_trippr]

Yup. Another sign of the Apocalypse

The end is nigh.

The Harbaughs should play against each other every year. Make it the third Thanksgiving day game or the Christmas game so it hecks up their family plans.

 

[brewbama]

Not in Columbus...
That season is over only slightly after it started.

‘bout like Dallas. Hard to be a lifelong Cowboys fan this year.

[Kent88]

Mac Jones.... likely the second greatest pick ever made by an NFL franchise.

Since Cape doesn't like us anymore I figured he wouldn't care if I dug up an old post of his that aged exceptionally well.

 

[Kent88]

Oh I forgot that I can use this meme this week.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

At 1 point last weekend the Bears had more punts (5) than total yards of offense (4).

Great decision to draft the QB and not trade the pick for 3-4 other picks that could helped in other places. Like I don't know, some offensive linemen....

 

[day_trippr]

I hear ya. The Patriots drafted "the quarterback for tomorrow" but he's playing behind "the O-line from days long gone by"...

 

[Kent88]

It's the QB draft conundrum. I'm sure you already know, but I feel like explaining the obvious today.

The worst teams usually had bad QBs, and they get top draft picks. They think "oh gosh, we have a chance at terrific QB" and they feel an urgency to draft that QB before he's gone, since top QBs are usually drafted really early.

Bad QB play isn't necessarily all on them. If the rest of the offense is garbage, then it will exaggerate how bad they are. If the player doesn't mesh with the coach, or if the coach tries to force the round peg of a player into the square hole of their offense, that won't go well either. Former Jets QBs Sam Darnold and Geno Smith, and former Browns QB Baker Mayfield, might be good examples of average or above average QBs who are are taking advantage of second chances with better teams. Even Justin Fields had a moment this year.

Fans, team owners, and coaches should be more patient with their players. But, that isn't the world we live in these days. Teams also shouldn't be in such a hurry to draft their QBotF.

I gotta say, even though I knew that KC was going to obliterate the browns, I've been hoping to see some signs of life from the browns more than a third quarter, garbage time TD, since Watson got hurt/demoted/whatever. I want the front office and ownership to recognize how ridiculous they were going after Watson when Stefanski, author of one of the worst offensive meltdowns seen in the playoffs, managed to get them going in the right direction with him and Mayfield. Mayfield and the Buccaneers are a contender in their division at the moment, while the browns are continuing to demonstrate how dysfunctional they are.

Sure, you may have a coach that'll never take you on a deep playoff dive, but he at least seemed to get the team to where they weren't a complete laughingstock. He even managed to get Watson to win a few games last year. This year he fell back to earth and ownership said "dang it, we're paying how many million to this guy no matter what, so he better be starting", until his Achilles exploded. But the team is so dysfunctional that a quarterback change hasn't helped at all.

Dysfunction starts with the ownership. Even if you have a respectable coach, he cannot escape the dysfunction from above. Poor Stefanski has two seasons left with Watson's fully guaranteed contract (which might've been one of the most expensive QB deals when it was signed) on the books.

Most guaranteed $$$ in the NFL.

The Browns were morons to pursue him in the first place, and to sign that contract was truly an unprecedented mistake that I am not sure anyone thought would pan out at all.

Only the Brown and Carolina management make the Bears look like they are half competent...

Even Jax was smart enough to cut bait and run when the Urban experiment crashed quickly.
