Really looking forward to Texans @ Chiefs, but still scarred by 2020 playoff game. 24-0 up in 2nd, then Mahomes caught fire and down 28-24 at half time and lose 51-31.

 

[Tony Towner]

They'll win with some last minute miracle like they do every week, with Mahomes limping his way through the final quarter and the sham injury narrative will continue for another week

 

[Jack Regan]

Who'd have thought his ankle would be perfectly fine...

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Most Chiefs games and virtually all Texans games are won/lost in the last minute. So this is sure to be a blowout!

Easy TD for Mahomes.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Interceptions, injuries, unforced errors, plays for negative yards.

In the end, comfortable for Chiefs.

I'm at work so couldn't watch, but looking at the stat sheet and the season in general Stroud has regressed - untypical for a year 2 QB, especially one with such a good rookie season

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Second season syndrome. Perhaps not as confident, still has flashes of brilliance, but not getting the luck he had last year.

Having a decent RB means he doesn't have to win games by himself, so too often he just becomes a game manager.

He's been sacked 46 times his o-line has been putrid, and because of this he's become too flighty and twitchy.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Yes, O-line weaknesses, injuries, and penalties.

Wolves won and Bryce Young just trucked an Arizona linebacker; what a time to be alive.

Fantasy semi finals week and both my teams have Hurts

I’m playing against Jonathan Taylor so I’m dead in mine already.

I have absolutely no idea what to think about your Iggles at the moment. Beating (as in, currently leading) the Commies with Pickett at QB is wild.

To be fair, I'm not sure what to think about said Commies, either.

 

[Jack Regan]

Kenny Pickett making any Eagles fans who dislike Jalen Hurts have second thoughts I'd expect.

They were effectively 14-0 up when Pickett came in. Saquon now bottled up because there's no pass threat. If they hold in it'll be the defense that does it

I'd say Hurts frustrates me rather than dislike. He's still a top half QB though and Pickett is an average back up at absolute best.

 

[Alan]

Sorry Tony, I think I fucked that one for you.

 

[Alan]

Unrelated: I haven't felt so happy at a Panthers win since I was a kid. I'm such a fucking sucker for a plucky underdog. Of course, living in the Carolina broadcast catchment area helps there.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sorry Tony, I think I fucked that one for you.

It is what it is, Pickett is gash, but defense and STs also had poor moments. Weren't going to get the number 1 seed anyway and a win next week means they can rest the starters in Week 18. That win isn't a given if Hurts doesn't clear the concussion protocol. Probably the end of Saquon going for the record though, needs 134 each week (got 150 today), but they won't play him in a dead rubber, a defeat next week would keep that alive assuming he gets his yards against Dallas

I have him on my bench in my ESPN game
