Yeah I don't know. That was literally one good game. The 2003 defense actually had a few good games early in the season before Maslowski got hurt. In 5 of their first 8 games they allowed 14 points or less. They were never any match for the elite QBs but they'd at least force a few turnovers and have a decent game against a bad offense. [Reply]

That team had absolutely no pass rush. This team has one.
Still a bad defense, don't get me wrong, but when you're the top third down defense in football that counts for something. [Reply]

Houston will return. Berry? Most likely he’s done. Sorry, but I HOPE he will be back, but I BELIEVE he will not. [Reply]

Yep....the refs has already bailed Brady out. Speaks tried not get a penalty...with the way the QB rules are now it is tough to blame him...and you could tell he felt awful after the play too. [Reply]

Mahomes is the only reason we're 5-1
I hear what you’re saying, but saying that Mahomes can’t throw that pick to end the first half or saying Mahomes can’t miss wide open receivers isn’t asking for perfection. He needs to make those plays. I’m sure he would tell you the same.
Those aren’t super human plays. Those are fairly basic for the upper level QBs in the league. It comes with the territory as being one of the best in the game, which I believe he is already. He gets the glory and a (small) portion of the blame sometimes. [Reply]
Don't play any really good QBs for the next 4 weeks. Going to see some more of the Bortles type games coming up. 3 of the 4 at Arrowhead as well. [Reply]
