Also, that Tampa fan who gave Brady that ball back just gave away like $750,000.

Just checking in to say that I’m confused. Because reading Chiefs Planet I was told that Mahomes was going to be a lock to win a bunch of Super Bowls and dominate the AFC for years.

But I see them at 3-4 and Mahomes has a million picks and I’m like....that’s not what they said would happen.

He doesn't play defense.

What is happening to the Chiefs this year just makes me appreciate more how the Patriots dominated the AFC for 19 years with 17 division titles, 13 AFCCG's, 9 trips to the Super Bowl and 6 victories. The two years they did not win the division, they lost on a tiebreaker the last game of the season.

Absolutely amazing.

The Niners love to shoot themselves in the foot. They should be up 14-0, but instead settle and find themselves only up 9 and give up a huge play. Zero killer instinct as happened against Seattle.

The DPI on an underthrow has to be legislated out of the game somehow. It puts the defender in an impossible situation. The receiver can just run through the trailing corner and get the call.

You're probably right. It just sucks to see a bad play so easily rewarded. It's somehow harder for the defender to play that ball in man coverage than a perfect pass would be.
Totally agreed, it gives more of an advantage to the offense when they already have a plethora of them. It’s possible someone much smarter than I could come up with an enforceable standard/exception, but I do not know what it would look like.

That might’ve been the dumbest pick I’ve ever seen.
That pick made me immediately think of a play in a big basketball game (can't remember college or NBA) where a defender called for a pass from the ball handler ... and he threw it to him

Mitchell is getting 8 yards a carry, so definitely have Jimmy throw more at a 44% clip and 5 yards an attempt.

Hurts is great only when he's down 28 and scrambling for a comeback that falls short.
I can't think of a guy whose fantasy value and real life value vary so much.

He's elite at picking apart prevent defenses.

And Id still rather have him than Wentz.
