Another Mahomes pass hit a CB square in the facemask, and bounced incomplete. The INT horseshoe hasn't fallen out yet.
True but that CB was trying to make a play against the receiver because he was way behind the play. If he doesn't do that, the ball doesn't hit him in the face.

I had the same thought, the Ravens and them have taken turns being good and bad, which makes the statement so stupid. But sure two super bowls in ~20 years where you have almost never been the best team in the AFC is a dynasty....ok sure.
The Steelers were the best team of the interregnum between the two Patriots’ dynasties. Only other team in that span with two titles were Coughlin’s Giants; at least the Steelers were a perennial playoff team, and even made a third Super Bowl (lost to GB).

The Eagles should have drafted Bryce Love along with Jalen Hurts so they could run the REM qb/rb connection.

Is Allen out of protocol? Is Haskins even active?
Allen is out of protocol and cleared to go back in the game. Haskins is not active.

I just don't understand why he would sit Haskins for Allen and then leave Smith, clearly not ready, in the game.

You are misremembering how average the Steelers were from 09-14.

The records and playoff results are below, but this is the type of team the NFL has in there minds when they talk about being a league of parity.
They were good, then they were forgettable seemingly at random. Nothing about them screams dominant and the Colts have a better record over that same period of time including the one suck for Luck season.

2006 - 8-8
2007 - 10-6 (Lost Wildcard)
2008 - 12-4 (Won SB)
2009 - 9-7
2010 - 12-4 (Lost SB)
2011 - 12-4 (Lost Wildcard)
2012 - 8-8
2013 - 8-8
2014 - 11-5 (Lost Wild Card

This Raiders performance has been insane. The defense looks to be faster on every play.
Based on the Pats game, the Raiders are a team that if they get confidence watch out. They are young and if they get an idea in there head they just fly around. But they also make those stupid mistakes, young/Gruden teams make...so lets see if they don't find a way to blow this game.

I am watching the Cardinals blow out the Jets and I don’t think the Cardinals are good. Will be a small miracle if Jets win a game this year.
