NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2025 Week 15: LAC-KC, Balt-Cin, GB-Denver, Det-Rams

[jmt57]

In shocking news, the Dallas Cowboys are on in primetime once again.
And as always is the case, it's not one of the best/most important games of the week.

Good news is that this week there will be two games on both CBS and Fox.
Which is the way it should be each and every week.
Next week it gets even better, with two games on Saturday.

Obviously we are rooting for a Denver loss to Green Bay later this afternoon.

Yea. what's with the constant ball washing of "America's (who cares) Team"

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Chiefs done

 

[upstater1]

Not good to see Mahomes hurt like that. I was counting on them taking out the Broncos.

Now the Broncos have a clear road with the Patriots loss and Mahomes done.

 

[ZotZot]

Sucks to see Mahomes go down this late in the season if its indeed serious

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Mahomes has looked like he’s been declining for 3 seasons now. but if that’s an ACL tear he’s going to decline even faster than I thought because of how he plays

 

[Joey007]

Chiefs dead. At least a slightly better feeling after this loss.

 

[Ross12]

Mahomes has looked like he’s been declining for 3 seasons now. but if that’s an ACL tear he’s going to decline even faster than I thought because of how he plays

Yeah, he is still reliant on his ability to extend plays, even if he's not quite as good at it. An ACL tear is the last thing he needs in his 30s.

 

[farn]

Weird that no one ‘takes away points’ from Andy Reid for this crappy season WITH an all time great at QB.

 

[Foxypats]

Denver fumble and GB recovery

 

[raduray]

So I'm assuming we're all Green Bay fans this afternoon?

 

[VectorPrime]

I doubt Mahomes tore his kneee. Probably just a hyperextension or something. Which I hate because now THAT’S the story and not how he and the team had a garbage season despite being a SB pick at the start of the year. He should have to play 3 meaningless games instead of now having the excuse to go on IR with what’s probably a mild injury.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Lets go pack

 

[NFL Mystique]

It didn't look like an ACL injury. But I'm not doctor.
