The Bills tanked. There was no way they were letting the Pats lose that game.

Mitch T tripping near the goal line was comical

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

how is it possible that you get favored by the refs so obvious every game and can get a way with it?

 

[Real fan 02]

I think Chiefs, Commanders, Rams, and Ravens win this weekend.

I'm very impressed with the commanders.. they are what a real rebuilding team looks like.. they are 1 win away from the superbowl.. who wants to see them the way they are playing.?...

If Kliff Kingsbury hadn't been a Head Cach before, would he be a hotter HC candidate than Ben Johnson?

When he was hired by Arizona he was 40, Johnson is 38.
He took Kyler Murray to offensive rookie of the year, took Jayden Daniels to the same (Unless Bowers takes it)
Took Arizona his first year from 32nd in offense to 15

His resume is better than Johnson, he was in the playoffs in 2021. the 2022 season was his lone blemish.

He has the experience of being a head coach and can learn from his mistake the first time around.

I know he paused head coach interviews until season is over, but he should be head of Ben Johnson. The Bears should be all over him when the time comes.

Man, too bad for the Lions... The game was late I couldnt watch all throughout, but the Commanders are super impressive all around.

BOY would me nice to have that McLaurin dude..............................

Everything thing you posted was spot on!!! . I'll also add that Detroits offense overshadowed just how bad thier defense really is.. seriously if you look at it thier defense is the reason they lost and the DC is up for HC jobs.. Kingsbury and Quinn both HC at other stops have definitely used thier experiences to help them get where they are this season. Kingsbury definitely deserves another shot at HC somewhere. How about Daniels? The kid has Done nothing bit win! He's also a awesome person off the field as well! This gives me hope and optimism that we can rebuild and have a resurgence similar.. not saying we get the AFCCG but we could definitely be a playoff team under Vrabel. The HC matters so much to a franchise I'll never appreciate that more than going through last season.

agree! Detroit lost far to much on defense.. the players they had on defense last night were. Majority 3rd stringers... Commander just have the right momentum and eagles or Rams are going to be in a battle... McLaurin is a baller!

Bills put up 48 on the Lions… that was probably a sign their banged up defense wasn’t at a SB level.

In this game their offense also had an off game at the wrong time much like the 2010 Patriots.

 

[bresna]

I don't know how anyone watching that Chiefs/Texans game could not come away thinking that game was rigged. 3 really bad penalty calls that benefited the Chiefs. The roughing the passer for the push out of bounds was ludicrous. Mahomes was totally inbounds when he was pushed out.

If they don't want QBs getting pushed out or tackled or even touched, just put flags on their hips.

What pisses me off even more is the number of actual roughing the passer calls that happened to Drake Maye this past season that weren't called. It's become a big problem.

You live by the Goff you die by the Goff. Some Mayo like coaching decisions on the Lions as well as the kicker having a Slye night and this is what happens. Washington played solid and could be a problem as they build confidence. As for Daniel’s he is playing solid and right now better than Maye but he was put in a much better situation. I reserve judgement on who is better until I think the Patriots are as good as Washington.

Kermit and the Chiefs even lost Skip Bayless lol

KC offense is anemic.. if they face a team like Ravens who won't beat themselves I think Henry, and Lamar run amuck and keeps Mahomes on the sidelines..

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

also Daniels has weapons and an OL...so the comparison is apples and oranges to some extent. Pretty much going on their college performance,

And Daniels has much,much better coaching.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

It's going to be like 10 degrees. What do you think?

And in the middle of a snowstorm, not really a storm by New England standards but 4-6 inches here and people freak.

 

[sb1]

Of course Daniels is better than Maye today. The Pats knew they were getting a very young very talented and raw QB with very high upside. The question is who is better in 3 years and hopefully that is Maye.

Washington has a HC and OC who were both previous HCs. That is huge for a rookie QB.. Drake will have the same once McDaniels comes back. Washington even with Sam Howell had a better roster than we did.. thier issues were coaching and ownership. Daniels walked into a great situation.. great HC and OC, a solid roster and a number 1 WR.. Drake had none! Detroit defense is what failed them.. they lost far to much on defense.. Washington is what a rebuilt team looks like.

 

[sb1]

Compare these playoff coaches to Mayo. Just lol

Daniels is interesting. I said pre-draft he'd have the best rookie season of any rookie QB but he's better than I expected. I still worry about where he'll be in a few years. If Kingsbury leaves it'll hurt and his running style with that small frame is a big concern, I expect his first 2 years might be his best 2 years, but we'll see. RG3 and Daniels have stats as rookies that are very close to the same.

His running ability open up so much for him and if a few injuries limit that I wonder. A bit of an enigma, his 5 TD game he actually didn't play well on 6 of the 8 drives, made 2 great throws, was not a great game by him yet he had 5 TD's.
He does seem to have a knack of 1 or 2 great throws a game down the field.
Magical season for him, actually love watching him play, hopefully he stays healthy, Kingsbury stays, and he can continue to have success. He's in the NFC so can root for him. Like his personality and he's just more fun to watch than most QB's.
