it took you a while to admit this breh :mjgrin:
AJ Brown isn't talked about enough as one of the best 3 WRs in football. It's the AJ Brown show in Philly and you just have to pick the week where Goedert or Smith or Swift will "go off".

I absolutely hate the Tush Push and I think it ought to be banned. It's a gimmicky, stupid play and it sucks to watch. That said, the Eagles ran a counter off that formation for a touchdown and THAT was a really good play.

Given that the 49ers look a lot less impressive in the last 3 weeks, it's fair to call the Eagles the best team in the NFC right now. The Seahawks are probably pretenders. And while the Lions are growing, they've yet to mature into a reliable, contending team the way Philly has. Right now, Dallas is the team to make a real argument to the Eagles and we are going to find out how they match up in 6 days.

Ravens score was closer than the actual game was. Unfortunately I had the -9.5.
:francis:

Lamar looks really good yet I’m not hearing much talk about MVP or top 5-10 QB rankings. I wonder why…..

Also saw the Vikings/Packers game and uhhh….Packers look finished. Love is bad, to the point I wonder what they do in the draft. Expecting him to be great in his first starting season would be dumb, and I wouldn’t write him off personally but given how strong this draft is at QB…I can def imagine the Packers drafting one within the first two rounds.

This is certainly not the case on the NFL podcasts I listen to.... Y'all gotta quit watching those morning shows and thinking that's the opinion held by most sports media.

I'm assuming that's where you guys are getting your opinions from, and the real journalists who follow this shyt give Lamar his props all the time

The Chiefs just had 5 turnovers and people talking about WR separation. :mjlol: People weren't holding on to the ball.
And it took for Mahomes to not have a true #1 WR before people even consider him down near the rest of the pack. :mjlol: And coming into this week with "no WRs" Mahomes was still 3rd in passing yards. :mjlol:

This is where I remind people, like every year...it's week 8. I'm actually surprised the Chiefs are at the top of the AFC this early. :dead: I'm was expecting us to be lurking until like week 12 or something.

He shouldn't have been the MVP favorite.

All that "essay" says is even if his receiver room needs to get better, Mahomes is supposed to be able to elevate what he has around him until that room gets better.
He was 6-1, now 6-2

I'd call that elevating

Let's let the season play out shakesphere :russ:

If he misses the playoffs or goes on a big losing streak we can write all the essays we want then

While it sounds/has been interpreted differently... I'm not worried about the Chiefs. Something has to happen to Mahomes before I think they're in trouble. With him, it's 12 or more wins and an AFC title game appearance or better, as usual.

I just think that until it clicks for his WRs, he's got to do what he's supposed to do as the elite QB and elevate what's around him.

Much cheaper price tag. I’m just sickened that the 9ers gave up on a guy they traded 3 1st round picks for for a younger Jimmy. If this shyt blows up I want a fulll house cleaning.
Yeah y’all kinda jumped the gun giving up on Trey. Lynch was feeling himself and thought he had the next Brady but y’all are closer to having the next (insert every generic flamed out white hyped QB). Despite y’all hand wringing I think y’all will be alright and probably in the divisional round/championship again.

Curious why they get ZERO shade for that?

Like yeah they've played in SB against the Ravens awhile back, the Chiefs more recently etc., but they've most definitely had the best roster (outside of QB) yet everyone acts like they are an underdog damn near.

Cowboys get roasted for choking yet SF has been closer to the mountaintop and choked EVERY TIME since 1994.

If you swap resumes, Dallas would still get the most shyt and people would give the Niners a pass.
I’ve been said the whiners are basically west coast Dallas. No SBs since the VCR was the pinnacle of home technology. They are lucky they are west coast and eastern time zone runs things so nobody really cares.

He's not missing the playoffs unless he gets hurt. Like I said, as long as Mahomes is there, they will win 12+ and get to the AFC title game. Minimum. Nobody should be worried about the Chiefs suddenly falling off the rails.

I'm just not shooting the best quarterback in the world any bail for not having a #1 WR when he just led the team to a Super Bowl win without a #1 WR. No more, no less.
