Since that chiefs game, there have been some hits on QBs that would have been flagged if they were done to mahomes. It’s not even debatable at this point

I’m rooting for this outcome. Tired of the Chiefs 

Well, unfortunately the team that comes out of that battle the least unscathed will be the one that ends up playing KC.

KC plays the Texans next week unless the Broncos upset the Bills.

Gonna be fascinating to see what Pittsburgh decides to do with their 2 QBs on expiring contracts. Not sure I retain either one. 

I would start over, but I have a feeling Wilson has done exactly what Pittsburgh wanted from him this year. With this scheme and the lack of talented skill players, this had to have been the most optimal outcome for them offensively.

Pittsburgh is always in no man’s land to draft a QB so they probably have to lock in Wilson for 2025. If I were them I let Najee Harris walk without question. Justin Fields moves on to be the bridge in LV or one of the NY teams.

Yeah, Pittsburgh is doomed. This is what you get when you care about looking respectable year-to-year instead of caring about winning a Super Bowl with a long range game plan. It's rare in this league that you can have your cake and eat it too.

Still amazes me that Tennessee let Derrick Henry go for nothing. One of the biggest blunders in recent memory 

The 2024 Offseason is going to go down as the mystery of how Hall of Fame players in Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley only got $12M per year deals when teams were giving those kind of contracts out to mediocre players, like Gabe Davis to the Jags for $12M and so on. And Kirk Cousins getting $90M to play one season in Atlanta.

I'm a pretty big believer in not paying for running backs.  But....yeah, those were some bargains.

This NYJ fan says thanks but no thanks on Fields.

Cousins has a unique skill set in his ability come new contract time to always fall backassward into a pool full of money.

Nix's tools are better than I thought, but his stats get fluffed up by short passes. He has one of the lowest average depth of targets in the league. And even like today's game, people will point to him having a 100+ passer rating and nearly 50 yards rushing... and they've scored 7 points midway through the 4th quarter. He needs better weapons, but I wonder about his ceiling.

I’m pulling the for the packers. And will also pull for Washington. Only shot at a home game 

I think GB has a shot. Philly has always looked beatable to me.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I like how everyone acts as if the giants would be in the playoffs right now if they had kept Saquon. It really didn’t make any sense for them to keep him. People forget how injury-prone he was in NY. He would not have had 2,000 yards with the giants and they still would have sucked eggs 

The mistake was giving Daniel jones that big contract, and I wish they hadn’t so the eagles couldn’t have signed him

Stepped away for a bit, but did they ever explain how that kickoff fumble was allowed to stand? Don’t know if it would have made any difference, but it probably killed any shot of a GB upset

He fumbled and wasn't clear he recovered. Ball was moving.
