Absolutely, there is no reason NOT to get this done. [Reply]

Why you encourage the stupidity I'll never know.
You guys are all also undermining your own success if/when it comes with Mahomes. If the NFL is a fixed product, then what value is a Chiefs SB win? [Reply]

This all day long. I've went from rabid fan to only watching the chiefs. Can't tell from play to play or game to game what the hell the rules are.
The NFL needs to recognize there is a problem and fix it. When it gets to the point that I'm arguing for calls that went for the chiefs you know it's getting bad [Reply]
Still new. Because of injuries and trades, key pieces are still getting up to speed.
With our defense, we dont' need an elite offense. We just need a functioning, decent offense. Right now we don't even have that. And you guys can all blame Brady if you want, but it's pretty obvious where the problems are, and he ain't one of them.

I've done that in a few pats games. I am only interested in Pats games and a few high profile games. It is getting to the point of watching politics. I stopped getting involved in politics because of how pissed off it made me and I am getting the same feeling when I watch the NFL now. [Reply]

I don't know, we didn't have a decent offense.
The Ravens are the best team in the AFC right now. Best balance, and until defenses start to adjust better to -- and get used to seeing -- what Lamar brings, he gives them a decided advantage.
I like how you're mocking a 9-1 team that is the defending Super Bowl champion -- which mostly won on teh strength of its defense -- that having a decent/average offense won't be nearly enough. :-)

Yes. So what? They were thoroughly squelched after the first quarter once the Pats made some in-game adjustments.

Right, which will matter precisely not at all come playoff time.
Unfortunately, I have little reason to hope that the Patriots will have an average/decent offense by then. Nothing so far points to that happening. Antonio Brown and Gronk aren't pulling into the station anytime soon. [Reply]
