Because QB play is king. And a great QB paired with a well rounded team is a damn formidable thing. Sure he may not have looked the best individually this year, but if the Steelers (my team) could have Mahomes as our QB, I'd instantly consider us instant super bowl contenders. I think every team in the league would trade their QB for Mahomes for the upcoming postseason.
Mahomes is having a great year only if you dig into the deep-deep stats and analytics. The top-row stats indicate he is nearly the worst QB in the NFL. But when you watch him play, it is clear he is operating at a very high level. Goff is lighting up the NFL right now, and I would love to see Goff and Mahomes in the big game in February.
@@JuddDredge I’m sorry but that’s simply not true he’s been late often this year, he’s been inaccurate often, there offense is also literally built around throwing underneath and having players get yac
@@JuddDredgeno he hasn’t been playing at a high level but his stats are heavily misleading. Based off PFF he has a 77ish pff grade and he has a slightly above avg epa. He around 11-15th in both metrics
@@kev792 Those metrics would indicate not an MVP candidate. He is vital for the operation but compared to others that is not going to cut it in the MVP race.
Vikings fan here: What the media gets wrong is thinking Darnold is this "Jeckyll and Hyde" high variance quarterback whose peaks and valleys are going to dictate the course of our offensive success. Darnold has actually been very consistent in "what he is" over the year: a QB who can rise to the level of his circumstances who can throw deep bombs but will occasionally make turnover worthy plays. The quantity of those plays is about the same, the only difference is whether defenses capitalize on it or not. I feel like the success of the offense game to game has much more to do with how well we're able to establish the run than what side of the bed Darnold woke up on. Another thing that they don't necessarily "get wrong" but can't make up their mind about is KoC's play calling when ahead. In every game where we lost or almost lost a lead (Packers, Jets, Lions) half the talking heads say KoC screwed it up by playing too conservatively, and half the talking heads say he screwed it up by playing too aggressive. I'd love for someone who actually knows ball to break down why two camps say completely opposite things about the same game.
Issue is that conservative and liberal playcalling...aggressive. Conservative and aggressive, yeah. Issue is, that the way to counteract those two philosophies are different. Blitz a lot? Quick passes, slants, and so on. Prevent? Throw underneath, run the ball more, and so on. Those philosophies might have similar chances of success, but if a team knows/predicts what you're going to do...yeah, ya get screwed. Take the Lions fake punt: I can't remember *who* got behind the screening wall, but they *completely* ruined the play (or, y'know, did what they were supposed to do, if you're a Viking). Had they *instead* flowed sideways, the fake might have worked. Buuuuuuut there's going to be a kind of play where penetrating vertically early is *bad*, so... Really, playing from ahead, if we're talking not like the last five minutes or whatever, is just taking the playclock to 5 or so when the game clock is running, every play you can. If you're ahead, you don't want the game to continue. Take the time, play your same game as before.
You guys are offering the most thoughtful, well-informed, and well-spoken analysis of the game right now. You're operating absent the sensationalism and the easy low-effort hot takes. GREAT!!
@@kaphizmey6229you misspelled elite defense, phenomenal kicking and special teams, great coaching and offenses that are comfortable committing to the running game😂🫵🤡
In AFC - Lamar In NFC - Goff Both Ravens and Lions are proving that no matter how talented QB is, a system built around their strengths is always the most important thing, even more than raw talent.
More like the lions are proving that, the ravens are proving that when you give a top 3 qb a good offensive coordinator, and not an absolutely atrocious offensive coordinator he then becomes unstoppable
I think more for the Ravens, it just a physical and mental mismatch for teams no matter who you play. You cant stop Henry. If you do, Lamar is gonna eat you on the ground. If you stop Lamar, then Henry is gonna rip you to shreds. They have a fantastic defense and good coaching staff. The Ravens I think are the best overall team in the league. Best defense and offense combined. Lamar is the best rushing qb, and is a good passer with a couple limitations as a passer. But when you add in Derrick Henry, it sure helps out the team.
@@JoshAllen17Goated I'm not even sure Lamar has "a couple limitations as a passer". If you're comparing him with other elite QBs, sure, maybe he doesn't have as many peak strengths (he doesn't have Mahomes or Allen's arm strength or large frames, for instance, he's not as accurate as Mahomes or Goff at their best) but he's, at worst, solidly above-average to great at basically everything. Even the one thing he's historically not been great at (countering the blitz) he's made huge strides in. Add that to his instincts and ability to extend plays and create opportunities off-schedule, and you have an elite playmaker. No, what really kills defenses is that it's *three* things to defend: they can go big and stop Henry, got fast and stop Lamar on the ground, or crowd the line to stop both and get absolutely torched through air.
@@fanboy50 You know what White Savior Complex is? It's exactly what it sounds like. "I'm not even sure Lamar has "a couple limitations as a passer". What, you don't remember the huge press conference the Ravens called to announce that Lamar was 'limited' & what those limitations were to me, you, media & all the rest of the teams in the NFL? That's because this is an entirely made up rumor. See, Greg Roman did th-cam.com/video/HkNpZxq80N4/w-d-xo.html. He also did other things like th-cam.com/video/JgfB_4DgnEQ/w-d-xo.html. A fan said his 7-year-old always knew what side he was sending the run as Roman *_ALWAYS_** tipped off opposing defenses which side it was going* by sending the man in motion opposite it. So he tipped off opposing Ds _AND_ sent blockers away *from* it. So fans invented this "mythical need" that Lamar never had to explain away why Roman was there. The Unanimous MVP "had problems" as a passer. This much was true. But they were all problems caused by his OC, 100% of 'em.
@@fanboy50 I think Lamar overall is a fantastic player and person. But he just has a harder time sitting in the pocket and winning strictly from the pocket vs Mahomes, Allen, Goff, Burrow (which Burrow to me kinda relies heavily on unbelievable talent surrounding him). Lamar tends to lock onto targets more often than the other qbs mentioned, he cant read the defense to the levels of the others but hes really damn good. The biggest issue with him is when he has his great games, its awesome but he falls off a cliff then. He will have multiple bad to awful games in a row that are just disgusting. It always happens in the playoffs too. Hes just not clutch when the time matters. Regular or postseason, often he blows big leads or fails to make a comeback that you see mainly Allen and Mahomes make on what seems like a weekly basis. In the clutch situations rather than relying on the basics or what hes best at, Lamar ALWAYS locks onto targets to 1 person and just launches the damn ball like a rocket over their heads, he fumbles or throws a pick. Hes never won a game in the clutch ever. Hes never been good or even ok in the postseason. Thats why people have a tough time saying hes better than Mahomes or Allen. Because when it matters, your gonna choose Allen or Mahomes over anyone else because they have proven they can handle the pressure and perform.
Yes and no. Yes, in that in their current form the Chiefs winning feels unsustainable in that same way; that there's a million flaws that would normally be backbreakers that they're finding ways past. No, in the sense that the Chiefs feel a lot more like the clunkier Belichick-Brady years, where even when they started off a season looking flawed as hell, they'd improve over the course of the year and start putting things together reliably enough that the standing assumption until they prove otherwise is that the Chiefs will figure this stuff out by mid-December at latest.
The Bills defense, mainly their inconsistent pash rush and glass linebackers, have me more concerned than the offense. Yeah, they needed a reliable receiver like Amari, but I fear that the same old problem of not being able to get to the quarterback against good teams, getting sized up in the run game, and being unable to cover well down field, despite Douglas, Benford and Rapp being solid players -- will end up hammering the nail in their coffin yet again.
That's exactly what sits at the back of my mind. The only thing that gives me hope is Matt Milano coming back come playoff football, although you can't really rely on that. Brandon Beane has signaled that they are still looking to trade. Hopefully that includes a linebacker of some kind or a safety that preform better than Damar.
Same year, same old situation where Josh Allen has to wear the cape in all quarters to get the Bills out of the stratosphere of elite AFC competition come January. Hope Bills Mafia don't break their backs from all the tables they jump on to in their ongoing ritual to celebrate their team trying to push for the Bowl.
All due respect, but the KC ref advantage gotta stop.. I like how the media says its not real and yet, everybody is defending Mahomes on it. It sucks, I hate it.
For real. I'm not saying the league or any individual game is actually scripted, but to pretend Mahomes isn't abusing the rules is silly. It takes a certain level of talent to do that, but what he does to defenders is patently unfair. Someone needs to just take his fucking top off once or twice
I was one of those 0.7% of Lions fans who, on Trade Day, reacted "We got Jared Goff and what else? WOW great deal!" I have received many free Moosehead, Molson, Spaaten, Pils Urquel, and Budweiser (NOT THE ONE FROM STLOUIS! The original from Czech rep) from people who finally saw the light 8>D
Excellent show and great comments throughout. A quick note: The Carolina Panthers are now approaching the St. Louis Rams ( 6-42, 2007-2009) or Detroit Lions ( 8-40, 2008-2010) or Cleveland Browns ( 4-44, 2015-2017) epic stretches of NFL failure over these past two seasons. Thanks!
I think what the national media gets wrong is that the Falcons are a legit contender. Their defense is a massive concern, and I’d love to see y’all dive into what you think the problem is. Because I think it’s a combination of not having a good defensive line and them not scheming together the talent that they do currently have on the roster.
21:18 Are we watching the same play? I watched Mahomes juke Fred Warner. Then watched Kareem Hunt block his man forcing him off his angle, then watched Kareem Hunt turn around and get another block. No? Did that not just happen in this video footage? 😂
Very true, unfortunatly too amny are not factually looking at the play and are insisting on adding their biased emotional takes on the run. As you wrote, Mahomes shakes Warner, Hunt gets just enough of a block on 53 that he's slowed turned sideways with him momentum carring him out of bounds. Mahomes sees that and quick stops with Hunt then blocking 90 as Mahomes spedes past, down the sideline. To say the whole 49ers team was concerned about getting a flag was the most biased illogicical take, as only 3 players were near Mahomes on the play, lol.
And those Goff yards and TDs are coming on like 23 passes a game because the running game is also unstoppable. His YPA the last four is also nutso. This offense is OBSCENE.
Bills trading for Amari was a baller move. Makes their offense better. And probably keeps him away from the Chiefs who might have gone after him. Will be interesting to see if my Chiefs make a move for a WR as they need some help.
It’s Goff that’s reading the defense and choosing from a menu of plays at the line! He’s smart and quick, and knows this game inside and out, PLUS he has elite throwing ability. There are several well informed writers either stories dating to mid last year, comparing him to Brady and Manning where his results show him to better st this stage of his career. People are do stuck on the fact that McVay ditched him that they can’t see how as maxing he’s playing in an offense designed for his abilities.
The thing the mainstream media gets wrong about the Packers (other than the Jordan Love characterizations that I find to be slightly inaccurate) is that we still have a bad run defense. Box score watchers will see how many rush yards and touchdowns we give up per game and conclude that we’re still the middling/bad run defense of the Joe Barry era. While a couple of players *cough* Quay Walker *cough* aren’t perfect in the run fit, the rushing production we give up (almost entirely to rbs) is often either incidental or by design. This perspective kind of requires you to ignore the week 1 Brasil game against the Eagles (a lot of my Packers takes require omitting that game 😅), but I genuinely think our run defense is top 5 in the league.
Jared Goff throwing the ball this year is like watching Steph curry on a heater. As soon as the ball is out of his hands you know it’s a drop in a bucket
I don't see the media getting anything wrong with the Browns on-field team right now, but they usually make the assumption we fans have the typical pain tolerance of the average fanbase. At Vegas, the color commentator - after a penalty and two drops kept us at a two-score deficit, said "this must be extremely frustrating for Cleveland Browns fans. The entire sports bar I was in got a good laugh from that, as it was the 348th time we've seen that since the '99 return. We're now Deadpool; you can stab us in the heart and we'll just pull it out and say "Um, you dropped this," as we reach for the duct tape as a bandage.
By my count, only 3/11 of KC's turnovers are in the second half and ZERO are in the 4th quarter (i didn't count missed field goals though). So for whatever reason, when the game hangs in the balance, suddenly their execution goes bonkers Edit: if you count the missed FGs as turnovers, it goes to 4 in the second half and 9 in the first half
can we talk about how Aaron Rodgers and the Jet's scored 15 points [15-6] in the first quarter then Nothing for the rest of the game [15-37], with all their weapons and newly acquired Devante Adams 😮
The craziest thing to me with Brady commentating is he's the only QB that's beaten Mahomes multiple times in the post season. Brady as a Pat AFC Championship Brady as a Bucc Super Bowl Only other QB that's beaten Mahomes in the post-season was Burrow once. Its absolutely unbelievable.
I think Brady giggles like that because he sees some of the stuff Mahomes pulls off and is just and is just like "damn even i dont even know how he pulled that off"
Speaking of the contract insurance situation, if you want to know more Sam Monson and Steve Pallazolo from the Check the Mic podcast did a deep dive on the rules surrounding it as well as the history of contract insurance
What does the national media get wrong about my Detroit Lions? Jared Goff being overpaid is the most obvious answer. To a lesser extent, Dan Campbell being just a rah rah meathead. Dude knows ball, he just doesn't make it obvious.
Campbell may be the smartest of the rah rah meatheads then. The staff he keeps are good for years (at least) until they prove they cannot keep growing with the team. Also as much as Ben Johnson gets credit as the play caller, the offensive philosophy is from Campbell himself. As good as Goff has been overachieving, when it is time to knuckle up the O-line and the ground game becomes the dreadnaught that helps get them into position to score.
That Mahomes faking out of bounds and running stuff is total jive. Neither him, nor any Qb, should be able to do that. That rule is to protect them, not allow them to use it to stop the defense and continue running. That is unsportsmanlike and just because he is star QB it should not be allowed. It was no great run to be cheered, it should be called out. he has done that before.
If you notice Ravens and Steelers chase him into the gatoraid kooler. It is borderline/actual unsportsmanlike conduct but we have seen too many times Mahommes faking going out of bounds and then turning it upfield. I don't like it but I do understand it.
Bills and Texans, still annoyed James Cook was robbed of the catch of the year After the game a new angle came out that Cook was definitely in with the catch
"[The Chiefs' formula] is extremely frustrating for opposing fans" It's frustrating for Chiefs fans too because it always looks like it's about to fall apart. 😅
Goff or Henry winning the MVP are basically the only players where it wouldn't feel like robbing Lamar. Also as a Certified Goff Hater from the time he was drafted and thought McVay had made him what he was, while I walked back from this opinion over the last couple of years since he's been on the Lions, I do want to say for the record that I was wrong about him and I will cheerfully take this L alongside my bad Cam Newton takes from when *he* was drafted.
The Mahomes slobbering made me exit this one early. The team is playing well without him playing well. It doesn’t mean he’s horrible, but there’s no need to pretend everything he does is magical just because they’re winning.
I hope they play a team with some 2010s Ravens Balls. Cause they just used to hit Brady. They knew he'd get a flag if they even touched Brady. But they knew a short term loss of 15 is worth it to wreck the QBs day
So Mahomes can’t run up the sideline now? Watch every 49er in the replay and tell me which guy was easing up for fear of a flag. Only 53 had a shot at him, and Kareem Hunt laid a block so the guy’s momentum carried him out of bounds before he could square up Mahomes… Mahomes gets roughing the passer calls at a bottom 1/3rd rate in the league among active QBs
You've got to love the hyperbole in some of the statements Brett makes when throwing out numbers. "Four or five teams where Conference Championships feel like minimum" - Brother, there are only four teams that ultimately end up there, and there's a strong chance a couple of them face each other earlier already, unless they're the #1 and 2 seed exactly. 😂
Went to my first packer game ever on Sunday, I hate how accurate your section title in the nfc morth video was for that game. WAY TOO STRESSFUL AT THE END!
Ben Johnson should be the next Bears coach. I understand him turning down some of these bad jobs but we have a lot to offer here. As far as Matthew Eberflus, he seems like a nice guy with a nice haircut but I can see the future. He's one of these defensive coordinators cross dressing as a head coach and it will end in misery. I'm out on that guy already.
Nah, you don’t want B Jo. He’s super overrated and kind of a drag on whatever team he’s part of. Big drama queen and asks for too much money tbh. Famously terrible breath, owes back taxes, calls it “soda” - just trust me, teams should never interview him ever, leave him alone ok!
As a Washington fan, it is kinda cathartic seeing an owner who screwed the pooch to a degree that Dan Snyder couldn't manage. The combo of tossing a popular QB for the train wreck that was Watson and the long term damage, I am thankful we never had that in Washington. I empathize with the Cleveland fans, tho.
I don't think ppl realized how much having a receiver like Diggs helped their offense. Ppl don't realized the gravity a superstar weapon can bring to sn offense just by commanding the attention of a defense. They may not like it because there not getting the ball but it's freeing up space for their other capable weapons.
@@nickgamble280 but you originally said that they may not like it but its freeing up other play makers. I'm just saying that Amari is more of a team player that won't get frustrated that the scheme doesn't involve him getting 5 catches a game. I understand diggs being mad when he's wide open but if the scheme is distraction, you just have to do your part.
Remember when everyone was saying that the Lions WR room was their big ole' weakness? 😁 HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA. HAAAAAAAAAA HA AHA HA HA. They won't even miss Jamo the next two weeks because oh yeah, Kalif Raymond is really damn good, and TIM FRUCKING PATRICK BABY! This offense is obscene.
@@danielkneeshaw6564 i mean, its semantics at that point. its not like they talked about the entire nfl, or even most of it. you arent being disrespected or whatever. theyre just talking about other teams lmao
Nah lets be real, if Baltimore beats Buffalo again this year, that workload is going on Derrick Henry's shoulders, and he'll likely have a Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, and Taron Johnson in the backfield instead of in street clothes
Bucs did not beat the Lions that easily. Lions had almost double the yards the Bucs had. Lions just didn't execute in the red zone that game. Sounded good for the Browns hate tho 😂
Instead of keeping the team together and wasting years on some good players careers in a holding pattern, they should take their medicine for the Deshaun deal and make a move to rebuild when he's coming off the books. I would love for my Washington Commanders to fund their rebuild with a multiplayer mega trade so we can be legit SB contenders now, maximizing Jayden's rookie deal before we start losing pieces of our staff(Kliff) Cleveland Gets: 2025 1st, 2nd,& 3rd + 2026 2nd & 3rd + 2027 2nd. Commanders Get: Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, JOK and Cleveland eats whatever cap they got room for over the next 2 years before they get a clean slate from Watson and them all at once. The Cap thing isn't super important because Washington has $120m+ in cap next year, but It would be nice to keep some room to add a few more quality pieces in Free Agency like DQ's boy Markquese Bell (or be able to pay Micah after we send Dal our 2026 1st for him) It's a Win/Win, because Cleveland is stuck unable to really improve the team the next two years and it's only a matter of time before the talent on the team gets fed up and forces their way out with toxicity at a cheaper price because Cleveland will have lost all leverage. The trade would give them 6 top 100 picks to help replace them with quality players on rookie deals to help the future QB when Deshaun comes off the books. It's kinda like a higher end version of what the Texans did with the 2 year holding pattern where they accumulated draft capital trading McKinney, Cunningham, Roby, Cobb and a bunch of other guys before trading Watson for high capital.
Show me where anyone avoided hitting Mahomes on that play. Watch it again. I have about 20 times. He somehow got by Fred Warner, the next guy got blocked through Mahomes path by Hunt as Mahomes slowed down to let him by. He doesn't get flags unless he's out of bounds. This is a BS narrative. If players were so worried about penalties, they wouldn't hold, false start, face mask, line up offside, etc, etc. Does he flop? Yes. Not a fan of that, but it doesn't mean the hits didn't happen. They aren't pro soccer level by any means. He is extremely hard to catch and hit.
We’ve gotten so far from what an actual MVP means it’s crazy. Put any other competent QB in there and the lions would be just as good. MVP is not who has the best stats it’s who is the most valuable player on their team compared to others(yall know that better than most) Goff is not the most valuable on his team. Lamar, Allen and mahomes are far more valuable and without them their teams would prob have 1-2 wins rn. You cannot say that about Goff. He’s in the same situation as Purdy was when everyone including yall said he should be mvp. I just don’t see how either one of those guys could be mvp when they haven’t shown they can’t do it without elite level talent all round them compared to Lamar, Allen and mahomes who’ve done it with their fair share of talent but also have had significantly less for some years now.
KC does not get back breaking penalties. One team just needs to injure the shit out of Mahomes when he pulls his sideline scramble bullshit for him to stop taking advantage of his position as the poster boy of the NFL who cannot be touched under any circumstances.
Not to throw a wet blanket on your Watson analysis, but I would be very surprised if the Browns can get away with slow playing his injury or if he would be willing to accept playing the part of having "setbacks". That's just straight up insurance fraud and when your contract is fully guaranteed the team has no leverage to have you do them a solid for the cap by committing a crime and being liable to be party to a lawsuit. There are only a few brokers in this market and I would assume those policies are buttoned up with many contingencies for this sort of fuckery. I would be surprised if there aren't clauses that allow the insurance company to have physicians they hire conduct thorough examinations of a player prior to approving a claim. I'm sure the Browns will keep him inactive as long as they think they can get away with, but there is a great deal of achilles tears that have happened in the last few seasons and I don't think they have any shot of having him sidelined for all of next year when both Rodger and Cousins (who are both considerably older than Watson) were able to come back in less than a calendar year. I think the better plan for the Browns to commit blatant fraud would be to pay a practice squad guy to "accidentally" roll up on Watson during a full contact practice hoping to sprain an ankle or tear a knee. It would be a shitty thing to do, but if anyone "allegedly" deserves it, it's Watson.
The media gets nothing wrong about the raiders because no one is talking about them. It's a dumpster fire that never goes out and only varies in how brightly it burns. Drafting has been awful, I don't remember the last legitimately good oc they had and the current qb situation has me debating if I'd rather jamarcus Russel or matt mcgloin would give them a better chance. And to top it off, whatever AP was bringing to this team last season seems to have worn off. They have been awful for 20 years, 12 head coaches in thst span but get don't the recognition because of the browns going full retard, or the lions 0-16. And before anyone talks about Carr he was like meeting a hit new girl who gave you hope, dating goes well until it gets to crunch time, you get in to bed to take things to the next level, and figure out she's got a dick and things aren't going any further
@@BootlegFootball Ah thank you Bootleg moderator, the Ravens fanbase apologizes and asks if Brett can avoid making a Ravens video until after the season ends, Thank you
Brett, you are way too smart to have watched film and thought the Niners didn't want a penalty on that Mahomes run. That linebacker COMPLETELY over-pursued him. I dont think Mahomes turns that up the field unless it was such an obvious error by the LB. It's also a shame that the GOAT QB outruns one of the LBs of our lifetime, and all you can talk about is San Fran being afraid to hit Mahomes..... shame on you..... also, people should maybe watch tape if they're afraid to hit Mahomes on the sideline. Roquan laid Mahomes out on the sideline week one, and not only did he not get fined or a flag, but a Chiefs player got fined for pushing Roquan.....
Right like did we all just miss the block from Kareem Hunt, that threw the LB off balance? LB got chipped by Hunt was off balance and Mahomes saw that and cut back. Every other ball carrier is making that move on a player out of position.
2 point win , yeah clearly indefensable...if 50 % of their obvious holding penalties actually would have been called , they would have had at least 14 points less , thats how indefensable they are
I bet the NFL will give the Browns an out in some way with the Watson deal. Although i dont agree with it, business wise it makes a lot of sense. You dont want one of your teams looking like hope is lost again.
Brett at some point, you need to accept that buffalo all the way is just a funny gif on GPS and it’s not actually gonna happen. I’m sorry, it’s not, and you need to stop contributing to the alcohol poisoning that happens in buffalo every year. Josh Allen is not Big Ben, he’s Philip Rivers. New WR’s do not make New York football teams into contenders, that hobo who goes on podcasts who happens to play for the Jets lied to you. Please, as a KC fan who has watched this show many a time, they can’t beat Houston, they can’t beat Baltimore, they can’t beat Cinci, and they can’t beat the KC when it matters. Please tell them to fire their head coach and that they need new coaches in strength training and a better meal program because they are always hurt every year. It’s time to stop.
For me I compare it to a tame/scared version of how Les Snead of the Rams tried to push his chips in trying to win it all backed by McVay's offense and a defense anchored by the number one defender in Aaron Donald. At some point the Rams had top tier help like Jalen Ramsey and Von Miller to round out their role players. I don't see that with the Bills where Allen still has to take over the game because the scheme/talent around him isn't up to par in the regular season. Then in the postseason its the same old story. Defense plays light boxes but don't have the bodies to be stout against the run and don't have the finishers to threaten rushing with 4. Offense has role guys but no mismatch monsters outside of Allen. Bills meet their worst matchups and their fans have to get drunk to drown another dud of a postseason run.

More TDs than incompletions over a 4 game span is just unreal
So much more football to play. Why do I feel like it all ends with the chiefs winning another one?
Because QB play is king. And a great QB paired with a well rounded team is a damn formidable thing.
Sure he may not have looked the best individually this year, but if the Steelers (my team) could have Mahomes as our QB, I'd instantly consider us instant super bowl contenders. I think every team in the league would trade their QB for Mahomes for the upcoming postseason.
(it probably does)
You should put money on the Chiefs winning it all. It seems that’s what the refs did
@@awesomebeast7509Aww, you finding strength in victimhood?

Been a Chiefs fan all my life, but putting Mahomes in this years MVP race at this point is silly.
Mahomes is having a great year only if you dig into the deep-deep stats and analytics. The top-row stats indicate he is nearly the worst QB in the NFL.
But when you watch him play, it is clear he is operating at a very high level. Goff is lighting up the NFL right now, and I would love to see Goff and Mahomes in the big game in February.

Poor Jared Goff, the Kollman curse comes for him next
Vikings fan here: What the media gets wrong is thinking Darnold is this "Jeckyll and Hyde" high variance quarterback whose peaks and valleys are going to dictate the course of our offensive success. Darnold has actually been very consistent in "what he is" over the year: a QB who can rise to the level of his circumstances who can throw deep bombs but will occasionally make turnover worthy plays. The quantity of those plays is about the same, the only difference is whether defenses capitalize on it or not. I feel like the success of the offense game to game has much more to do with how well we're able to establish the run than what side of the bed Darnold woke up on.
Another thing that they don't necessarily "get wrong" but can't make up their mind about is KoC's play calling when ahead. In every game where we lost or almost lost a lead (Packers, Jets, Lions) half the talking heads say KoC screwed it up by playing too conservatively, and half the talking heads say he screwed it up by playing too aggressive. I'd love for someone who actually knows ball to break down why two camps say completely opposite things about the same game.
Issue is that conservative and liberal playcalling...aggressive. Conservative and aggressive, yeah. Issue is, that the way to counteract those two philosophies are different. Blitz a lot? Quick passes, slants, and so on. Prevent? Throw underneath, run the ball more, and so on.
Those philosophies might have similar chances of success, but if a team knows/predicts what you're going to do...yeah, ya get screwed.
Take the Lions fake punt: I can't remember *who* got behind the screening wall, but they *completely* ruined the play (or, y'know, did what they were supposed to do, if you're a Viking). Had they *instead* flowed sideways, the fake might have worked.
Buuuuuuut there's going to be a kind of play where penetrating vertically early is *bad*, so...
Really, playing from ahead, if we're talking not like the last five minutes or whatever, is just taking the playclock to 5 or so when the game clock is running, every play you can. If you're ahead, you don't want the game to continue. Take the time, play your same game as before.
You guys are offering the most thoughtful, well-informed, and well-spoken analysis of the game right now. You're operating absent the sensationalism and the easy low-effort hot takes. GREAT!!

@@kaphizmey6229you misspelled elite defense, phenomenal kicking and special teams, great coaching and offenses that are comfortable committing to the running game😂🫵🤡
@@kaphizmey6229KC sure, Pittsburgh gotten done dirty so far
Nah that was jets Steelers
JARED GOFF
Yeah, Goff has been elite. Anyone saying otherwise is being disingenuous because of their bias. It's hard to deny his impact and excellent accuracy.
How did you do that??? I need to know this sorcery
In AFC - Lamar
In NFC - Goff
Both Ravens and Lions are proving that no matter how talented QB is, a system built around their strengths is always the most important thing, even more than raw talent.
More like the lions are proving that, the ravens are proving that when you give a top 3 qb a good offensive coordinator, and not an absolutely atrocious offensive coordinator he then becomes unstoppable
I think more for the Ravens, it just a physical and mental mismatch for teams no matter who you play. You cant stop Henry. If you do, Lamar is gonna eat you on the ground. If you stop Lamar, then Henry is gonna rip you to shreds. They have a fantastic defense and good coaching staff. The Ravens I think are the best overall team in the league. Best defense and offense combined. Lamar is the best rushing qb, and is a good passer with a couple limitations as a passer. But when you add in Derrick Henry, it sure helps out the team.
@@JoshAllen17Goated I'm not even sure Lamar has "a couple limitations as a passer". If you're comparing him with other elite QBs, sure, maybe he doesn't have as many peak strengths (he doesn't have Mahomes or Allen's arm strength or large frames, for instance, he's not as accurate as Mahomes or Goff at their best) but he's, at worst, solidly above-average to great at basically everything. Even the one thing he's historically not been great at (countering the blitz) he's made huge strides in. Add that to his instincts and ability to extend plays and create opportunities off-schedule, and you have an elite playmaker.
No, what really kills defenses is that it's *three* things to defend: they can go big and stop Henry, got fast and stop Lamar on the ground, or crowd the line to stop both and get absolutely torched through air.
@@fanboy50 You know what White Savior Complex is? It's exactly what it sounds like. "I'm not even sure Lamar has "a couple limitations as a passer".
What, you don't remember the huge press conference the Ravens called to announce that Lamar was 'limited' & what those limitations were to me, you, media & all the rest of the teams in the NFL? That's because this is an entirely made up rumor.
See, Greg Roman did th-cam.com/video/HkNpZxq80N4/w-d-xo.html. He also did other things like th-cam.com/video/JgfB_4DgnEQ/w-d-xo.html.
A fan said his 7-year-old always knew what side he was sending the run as Roman *_ALWAYS_** tipped off opposing defenses which side it was going* by sending the man in motion opposite it. So he tipped off opposing Ds _AND_ sent blockers away *from* it.
So fans invented this "mythical need" that Lamar never had to explain away why Roman was there. The Unanimous MVP "had problems" as a passer. This much was true.
But they were all problems caused by his OC, 100% of 'em.
@@fanboy50 I think Lamar overall is a fantastic player and person. But he just has a harder time sitting in the pocket and winning strictly from the pocket vs Mahomes, Allen, Goff, Burrow (which Burrow to me kinda relies heavily on unbelievable talent surrounding him). Lamar tends to lock onto targets more often than the other qbs mentioned, he cant read the defense to the levels of the others but hes really damn good. The biggest issue with him is when he has his great games, its awesome but he falls off a cliff then. He will have multiple bad to awful games in a row that are just disgusting. It always happens in the playoffs too. Hes just not clutch when the time matters. Regular or postseason, often he blows big leads or fails to make a comeback that you see mainly Allen and Mahomes make on what seems like a weekly basis. In the clutch situations rather than relying on the basics or what hes best at, Lamar ALWAYS locks onto targets to 1 person and just launches the damn ball like a rocket over their heads, he fumbles or throws a pick. Hes never won a game in the clutch ever. Hes never been good or even ok in the postseason. Thats why people have a tough time saying hes better than Mahomes or Allen. Because when it matters, your gonna choose Allen or Mahomes over anyone else because they have proven they can handle the pressure and perform.
Watching the cheifs feels like watching the steelers that year they went 11-0
Yes and no. Yes, in that in their current form the Chiefs winning feels unsustainable in that same way; that there's a million flaws that would normally be backbreakers that they're finding ways past.
No, in the sense that the Chiefs feel a lot more like the clunkier Belichick-Brady years, where even when they started off a season looking flawed as hell, they'd improve over the course of the year and start putting things together reliably enough that the standing assumption until they prove otherwise is that the Chiefs will figure this stuff out by mid-December at latest.
The Bills defense, mainly their inconsistent pash rush and glass linebackers, have me more concerned than the offense. Yeah, they needed a reliable receiver like Amari, but I fear that the same old problem of not being able to get to the quarterback against good teams, getting sized up in the run game, and being unable to cover well down field, despite Douglas, Benford and Rapp being solid players -- will end up hammering the nail in their coffin yet again.
That's exactly what sits at the back of my mind. The only thing that gives me hope is Matt Milano coming back come playoff football, although you can't really rely on that. Brandon Beane has signaled that they are still looking to trade. Hopefully that includes a linebacker of some kind or a safety that preform better than Damar.
Same year, same old situation where Josh Allen has to wear the cape in all quarters to get the Bills out of the stratosphere of elite AFC competition come January. Hope Bills Mafia don't break their backs from all the tables they jump on to in their ongoing ritual to celebrate their team trying to push for the Bowl.
All due respect, but the KC ref advantage gotta stop.. I like how the media says its not real and yet, everybody is defending Mahomes on it. It sucks, I hate it.
Unfortunatly your cognitive dissonance can't offer facts to back yor words, which is actually what you hate.
22:07 That’s not an aura of fear, that’s a script 🤣
For real. I'm not saying the league or any individual game is actually scripted, but to pretend Mahomes isn't abusing the rules is silly. It takes a certain level of talent to do that, but what he does to defenders is patently unfair. Someone needs to just take his fucking top off once or twice
I was one of those 0.7% of Lions fans who, on Trade Day, reacted "We got Jared Goff and what else? WOW great deal!" I have received many free Moosehead, Molson, Spaaten, Pils Urquel, and Budweiser (NOT THE ONE FROM STLOUIS! The original from Czech rep) from people who finally saw the light 8>D
Excellent show and great comments throughout. A quick note: The Carolina Panthers are now approaching the St. Louis Rams ( 6-42, 2007-2009) or Detroit Lions ( 8-40, 2008-2010) or Cleveland Browns ( 4-44, 2015-2017) epic stretches of NFL failure over these past two seasons. Thanks!
I think what the national media gets wrong is that the Falcons are a legit contender. Their defense is a massive concern, and I’d love to see y’all dive into what you think the problem is. Because I think it’s a combination of not having a good defensive line and them not scheming together the talent that they do currently have on the roster.
21:18 Are we watching the same play? I watched Mahomes juke Fred Warner. Then watched Kareem Hunt block his man forcing him off his angle, then watched Kareem Hunt turn around and get another block. No? Did that not just happen in this video footage? 😂
Very true, unfortunatly too amny are not factually looking at the play and are insisting on adding their biased emotional takes on the run. As you wrote, Mahomes shakes Warner, Hunt gets just enough of a block on 53 that he's slowed turned sideways with him momentum carring him out of bounds. Mahomes sees that and quick stops with Hunt then blocking 90 as Mahomes spedes past, down the sideline. To say the whole 49ers team was concerned about getting a flag was the most biased illogicical take, as only 3 players were near Mahomes on the play, lol.
Welp, now we know which QB is getting injured next at least... Unlucky Jared, you had a good run.
Yeah it really sucks for the lions😔
@@ty15533 F.
Hey, they talked about Mahomes a lot, too! Why does Lion Gosling have to get hit with the curse? 🦁💪🏽 XD
Comment for the editors, You may want to flip flop the Twitter handle fly in at the beginning since they're backwards.
And those Goff yards and TDs are coming on like 23 passes a game because the running game is also unstoppable. His YPA the last four is also nutso. This offense is OBSCENE.
Bills trading for Amari was a baller move. Makes their offense better. And probably keeps him away from the Chiefs who might have gone after him. Will be interesting to see if my Chiefs make a move for a WR as they need some help.
It’s Goff that’s reading the defense and choosing from a menu of plays at the line! He’s smart and quick, and knows this game inside and out, PLUS he has elite throwing ability. There are several well informed writers either stories dating to mid last year, comparing him to Brady and Manning where his results show him to better st this stage of his career. People are do stuck on the fact that McVay ditched him that they can’t see how as maxing he’s playing in an offense designed for his abilities.
Anyone claiming that Mahomes deserves MVP is delusional
Yep, he's played well for loosing his top 3 WR's and top 2 RB's... but to have hime in any MVP convo is a joke.
The thing the mainstream media gets wrong about the Packers (other than the Jordan Love characterizations that I find to be slightly inaccurate) is that we still have a bad run defense. Box score watchers will see how many rush yards and touchdowns we give up per game and conclude that we’re still the middling/bad run defense of the Joe Barry era. While a couple of players *cough* Quay Walker *cough* aren’t perfect in the run fit, the rushing production we give up (almost entirely to rbs) is often either incidental or by design.
This perspective kind of requires you to ignore the week 1 Brasil game against the Eagles (a lot of my Packers takes require omitting that game 😅), but I genuinely think our run defense is top 5 in the league.
Great episode again 🔥🤌🏽
Jared Goff throwing the ball this year is like watching Steph curry on a heater. As soon as the ball is out of his hands you know it’s a drop in a bucket
I don't see the media getting anything wrong with the Browns on-field team right now, but they usually make the assumption we fans have the typical pain tolerance of the average fanbase.
At Vegas, the color commentator - after a penalty and two drops kept us at a two-score deficit, said "this must be extremely frustrating for Cleveland Browns fans. The entire sports bar I was in got a good laugh from that, as it was the 348th time we've seen that since the '99 return. We're now Deadpool; you can stab us in the heart and we'll just pull it out and say "Um, you dropped this," as we reach for the duct tape as a bandage.
By my count, only 3/11 of KC's turnovers are in the second half and ZERO are in the 4th quarter (i didn't count missed field goals though). So for whatever reason, when the game hangs in the balance, suddenly their execution goes bonkers
Edit: if you count the missed FGs as turnovers, it goes to 4 in the second half and 9 in the first half
Butker missed one in the second and one in the third.
@@gabrielleite32 thank you very much. I'll add it to the comment
@@benjihuynh2970 I think you mistyped, as it was 4 in the second, not in the first

then Nothing for the rest of the game [15-37], with all their weapons and newly acquired Devante Adams

I'd love a segment on which teams should/will do a firesale at the trade deadline
The craziest thing to me with Brady commentating is he's the only QB that's beaten Mahomes multiple times in the post season.
Brady as a Pat AFC Championship
Brady as a Bucc Super Bowl
Only other QB that's beaten Mahomes in the post-season was Burrow once. Its absolutely unbelievable.
I think Brady giggles like that because he sees some of the stuff Mahomes pulls off and is just and is just like "damn even i dont even know how he pulled that off"
Speaking of the contract insurance situation, if you want to know more Sam Monson and Steve Pallazolo from the Check the Mic podcast did a deep dive on the rules surrounding it as well as the history of contract insurance
lovin the themed show. loving the lions content. keep it up guys!
Buffalo's desperation was Chiefs PTSD. It was specifically "we still dont think there is any way we can beat KC this season with what we have"
Thanks for not mentioning the Bears. Chicago doesn't need Caleb to experience the Kollmann Kurse.
Lamar Jackson is the MVP
Goff is like the one QB who could respectably get the MVP and have it not be a point-blank robbery of Lamar.
Great take on chefs
O-line episode when? Gotta show the big fellows some love, or hate.
What does the national media get wrong about my Detroit Lions? Jared Goff being overpaid is the most obvious answer. To a lesser extent, Dan Campbell being just a rah rah meathead. Dude knows ball, he just doesn't make it obvious.
Campbell may be the smartest of the rah rah meatheads then. The staff he keeps are good for years (at least) until they prove they cannot keep growing with the team. Also as much as Ben Johnson gets credit as the play caller, the offensive philosophy is from Campbell himself. As good as Goff has been overachieving, when it is time to knuckle up the O-line and the ground game becomes the dreadnaught that helps get them into position to score.
That Mahomes faking out of bounds and running stuff is total jive. Neither him, nor any Qb, should be able to do that. That rule is to protect them, not allow them to use it to stop the defense and continue running. That is unsportsmanlike and just because he is star QB it should not be allowed. It was no great run to be cheered, it should be called out. he has done that before.
You sound like a salty crybaby
It's the same type of thing Kenny Picket did in college. It needs to stop or guys who are actually going out of bounds are going to get lit up.
If you notice Ravens and Steelers chase him into the gatoraid kooler. It is borderline/actual unsportsmanlike conduct but we have seen too many times Mahommes faking going out of bounds and then turning it upfield. I don't like it but I do understand it.
I can't believe the Bucs lynched Chris Godwin again he just finished recovering from the last time 😭
its incrediblen how the Chiefs and the Broncos have the same point distribution but somehow one os 6-0 and the other 4-3.
Bills and Texans, still annoyed James Cook was robbed of the catch of the year
After the game a new angle came out that Cook was definitely in with the catch
"[The Chiefs' formula] is extremely frustrating for opposing fans"
It's frustrating for Chiefs fans too because it always looks like it's about to fall apart. 😅
Goff or Henry winning the MVP are basically the only players where it wouldn't feel like robbing Lamar.
Also as a Certified Goff Hater from the time he was drafted and thought McVay had made him what he was, while I walked back from this opinion over the last couple of years since he's been on the Lions, I do want to say for the record that I was wrong about him and I will cheerfully take this L alongside my bad Cam Newton takes from when *he* was drafted.
Did we really need to dedicate a segment to the Browns?
The Mahomes slobbering made me exit this one early. The team is playing well without him playing well. It doesn’t mean he’s horrible, but there’s no need to pretend everything he does is magical just because they’re winning.
Seahawks fan here. Were never in the national media so there’s nothing wrong lol
The worse the chiefs get, the more unstoppable they become
The Mahomes fake step out of bounds needs to be addressed imo
cry more pls
I hope they play a team with some 2010s Ravens Balls. Cause they just used to hit Brady. They knew he'd get a flag if they even touched Brady. But they knew a short term loss of 15 is worth it to wreck the QBs day
So Mahomes can’t run up the sideline now? Watch every 49er in the replay and tell me which guy was easing up for fear of a flag. Only 53 had a shot at him, and Kareem Hunt laid a block so the guy’s momentum carried him out of bounds before he could square up Mahomes… Mahomes gets roughing the passer calls at a bottom 1/3rd rate in the league among active QBs

Ben Johnson should be the next Bears coach. I understand him turning down some of these bad jobs but we have a lot to offer here. As far as Matthew Eberflus, he seems like a nice guy with a nice haircut but I can see the future. He's one of these defensive coordinators cross dressing as a head coach and it will end in misery. I'm out on that guy already.
Nah, you don’t want B Jo. He’s super overrated and kind of a drag on whatever team he’s part of. Big drama queen and asks for too much money tbh. Famously terrible breath, owes back taxes, calls it “soda” - just trust me, teams should never interview him ever, leave him alone ok!

As a Washington fan, it is kinda cathartic seeing an owner who screwed the pooch to a degree that Dan Snyder couldn't manage. The combo of tossing a popular QB for the train wreck that was Watson and the long term damage, I am thankful we never had that in Washington. I empathize with the Cleveland fans, tho.
The Mahomes MVP case is that we trust him enough to believe that he will turn those stats around
I don't think ppl realized how much having a receiver like Diggs helped their offense. Ppl don't realized the gravity a superstar weapon can bring to sn offense just by commanding the attention of a defense. They may not like it because there not getting the ball but it's freeing up space for their other capable weapons.
Difference is Amari won't cry about it like Diggs.

Instead of keeping the team together and wasting years on some good players careers in a holding pattern, they should take their medicine for the Deshaun deal and make a move to rebuild when he's coming off the books. I would love for my Washington Commanders to fund their rebuild with a multiplayer mega trade so we can be legit SB contenders now, maximizing Jayden's rookie deal before we start losing pieces of our staff(Kliff)
Cleveland Gets: 2025 1st, 2nd,& 3rd + 2026 2nd & 3rd + 2027 2nd. Commanders Get: Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, JOK and Cleveland eats whatever cap they got room for over the next 2 years before they get a clean slate from Watson and them all at once.
The Cap thing isn't super important because Washington has $120m+ in cap next year, but It would be nice to keep some room to add a few more quality pieces in Free Agency like DQ's boy Markquese Bell (or be able to pay Micah after we send Dal our 2026 1st for him)
It's a Win/Win, because Cleveland is stuck unable to really improve the team the next two years and it's only a matter of time before the talent on the team gets fed up and forces their way out with toxicity at a cheaper price because Cleveland will have lost all leverage. The trade would give them 6 top 100 picks to help replace them with quality players on rookie deals to help the future QB when Deshaun comes off the books. It's kinda like a higher end version of what the Texans did with the 2 year holding pattern where they accumulated draft capital trading McKinney, Cunningham, Roby, Cobb and a bunch of other guys before trading Watson for high capital.
That last choice feels forced. MVP is a player award, not a team.
And the “fuck you Deshaun Watson” tour goes on…
No steelers mention or segment is crazy
Steelers with Russ @ QB can beat Chiefs
Old soul coaches have a thing.
Thanks for using “hone” correctly at 17:59
Show me where anyone avoided hitting Mahomes on that play. Watch it again. I have about 20 times. He somehow got by Fred Warner, the next guy got blocked through Mahomes path by Hunt as Mahomes slowed down to let him by. He doesn't get flags unless he's out of bounds. This is a BS narrative. If players were so worried about penalties, they wouldn't hold, false start, face mask, line up offside, etc, etc. Does he flop? Yes. Not a fan of that, but it doesn't mean the hits didn't happen. They aren't pro soccer level by any means. He is extremely hard to catch and hit.
We’ve gotten so far from what an actual MVP means it’s crazy. Put any other competent QB in there and the lions would be just as good. MVP is not who has the best stats it’s who is the most valuable player on their team compared to others(yall know that better than most) Goff is not the most valuable on his team. Lamar, Allen and mahomes are far more valuable and without them their teams would prob have 1-2 wins rn. You cannot say that about Goff. He’s in the same situation as Purdy was when everyone including yall said he should be mvp. I just don’t see how either one of those guys could be mvp when they haven’t shown they can’t do it without elite level talent all round them compared to Lamar, Allen and mahomes who’ve done it with their fair share of talent but also have had significantly less for some years now.
Well said👏

KC does not get back breaking penalties. One team just needs to injure the shit out of Mahomes when he pulls his sideline scramble bullshit for him to stop taking advantage of his position as the poster boy of the NFL who cannot be touched under any circumstances.

Not to throw a wet blanket on your Watson analysis, but I would be very surprised if the Browns can get away with slow playing his injury or if he would be willing to accept playing the part of having "setbacks". That's just straight up insurance fraud and when your contract is fully guaranteed the team has no leverage to have you do them a solid for the cap by committing a crime and being liable to be party to a lawsuit. There are only a few brokers in this market and I would assume those policies are buttoned up with many contingencies for this sort of fuckery. I would be surprised if there aren't clauses that allow the insurance company to have physicians they hire conduct thorough examinations of a player prior to approving a claim. I'm sure the Browns will keep him inactive as long as they think they can get away with, but there is a great deal of achilles tears that have happened in the last few seasons and I don't think they have any shot of having him sidelined for all of next year when both Rodger and Cousins (who are both considerably older than Watson) were able to come back in less than a calendar year. I think the better plan for the Browns to commit blatant fraud would be to pay a practice squad guy to "accidentally" roll up on Watson during a full contact practice hoping to sprain an ankle or tear a knee. It would be a shitty thing to do, but if anyone "allegedly" deserves it, it's Watson.
The media gets nothing wrong about the raiders because no one is talking about them. It's a dumpster fire that never goes out and only varies in how brightly it burns. Drafting has been awful, I don't remember the last legitimately good oc they had and the current qb situation has me debating if I'd rather jamarcus Russel or matt mcgloin would give them a better chance. And to top it off, whatever AP was bringing to this team last season seems to have worn off. They have been awful for 20 years, 12 head coaches in thst span but get don't the recognition because of the browns going full retard, or the lions 0-16.
And before anyone talks about Carr he was like meeting a hit new girl who gave you hope, dating goes well until it gets to crunch time, you get in to bed to take things to the next level, and figure out she's got a dick and things aren't going any further
Does Cleveland want a gently used Bryce Young?

Brett, you are way too smart to have watched film and thought the Niners didn't want a penalty on that Mahomes run. That linebacker COMPLETELY over-pursued him. I dont think Mahomes turns that up the field unless it was such an obvious error by the LB.
It's also a shame that the GOAT QB outruns one of the LBs of our lifetime, and all you can talk about is San Fran being afraid to hit Mahomes..... shame on you..... also, people should maybe watch tape if they're afraid to hit Mahomes on the sideline. Roquan laid Mahomes out on the sideline week one, and not only did he not get fined or a flag, but a Chiefs player got fined for pushing Roquan.....
Right like did we all just miss the block from Kareem Hunt, that threw the LB off balance? LB got chipped by Hunt was off balance and Mahomes saw that and cut back. Every other ball carrier is making that move on a player out of position.
Chiefs fans are getting dangerously close to cowboys territory.

Brett at some point, you need to accept that buffalo all the way is just a funny gif on GPS and it’s not actually gonna happen. I’m sorry, it’s not, and you need to stop contributing to the alcohol poisoning that happens in buffalo every year. Josh Allen is not Big Ben, he’s Philip Rivers. New WR’s do not make New York football teams into contenders, that hobo who goes on podcasts who happens to play for the Jets lied to you. Please, as a KC fan who has watched this show many a time, they can’t beat Houston, they can’t beat Baltimore, they can’t beat Cinci, and they can’t beat the KC when it matters. Please tell them to fire their head coach and that they need new coaches in strength training and a better meal program because they are always hurt every year. It’s time to stop.
For me I compare it to a tame/scared version of how Les Snead of the Rams tried to push his chips in trying to win it all backed by McVay's offense and a defense anchored by the number one defender in Aaron Donald. At some point the Rams had top tier help like Jalen Ramsey and Von Miller to round out their role players. I don't see that with the Bills where Allen still has to take over the game because the scheme/talent around him isn't up to par in the regular season. Then in the postseason its the same old story. Defense plays light boxes but don't have the bodies to be stout against the run and don't have the finishers to threaten rushing with 4. Offense has role guys but no mismatch monsters outside of Allen. Bills meet their worst matchups and their fans have to get drunk to drown another dud of a postseason run.
Sorry but lamar is MVP again
Which means he will utterly shit the bed in the playoffs…again…
The front runner is Lamar Jackson, He's a super star, the best show to watch in the NFL
Goff is and has been incredible but Lamar is on one right now I definitely see him winning again
The national media this Brock purdy is bad somehow still!!!!
Goff MVP over Lamar? Absolutely not.
