That was my only point, man...

Don't worry. JuJu imo will get his in the Superbowl...

I don't think Juju is really anything special. The Chiefs just need NFL level WRs, and he's the current #1 of that crop. Easily replaceable this winter IMO.

Never said anything different. In fact I think the upcoming off-season will consist of more reliable receivers for Mahomes. But you gotta admit it's pretty special what Mahomes can do with "also rans"...

Well don't keep us in suspense. You're the analytics guy it seems...
The Eagles are better than the Bengals in both metrics. With a patch work OL the Bengals can’t win a game the way I envision the Eagles coming into this one. They’ll run the ball, move sticks, play keep away and use the pass game for shock plays picking on a young secondary. It’s about the line of scrimmage. Ironically, the Eagles see Andy Reid in the Super Bowl. Andy Ball is out of whack having to pay a high priced QB and now the Eagles are more closely built in Andy Reid’s image than Andy Reid’s team is. Andy has always been about winning games on the line of scrimmage.

Considering I only have 100 in my tHoop account that'll have to do. But hey, I'll gladly do that...
Bet it on something and lose and it will get replenished higher than that, or you might run it up lol

WTF is wrong people in this stupid city?

Had to run to the grocery store this morning, it was minus something outside. And there's a jackass in there wearing shorts.

I will never understand that. What are fools like that trying to prove?

That doesn’t bother me, it’s when I see them dressing their kids like that that pisses me off.

None of those guys are used in the run game the way Hurts and Lamar are. Those other guys you cite are threats to get out of the pocket if it’s there vs pass rush and coverage. Entirely different conversations.

A better comp would be if they played Marriotta with Atlanta this year. Not even sure if that match up happened. There was no reason to pay attention to the NFC South this season. Dog shit franchises playing dog shit football.
Definitely different running threats for sure but Kyler is right there as well, problem is that team sucks.

Have a long time to go before we can have this conversation in earnest.

But I believe it will likely be pretty similar to Jordan vs. LeBron when it is all said and done.

Mahomes going to be hard pressed to get to 7, but stats are going to be on his side.
Yeah I mean even with Brady's 7 titles he also lost 3, so 10 overall. The thing about Brady is he is on the Lebron side of things and MJ. He has prime and longevity. Mahomes' prime so far will be the best of all-time but hard to compare bc the way the game changed and Brady is basically a sitting duck with no real athleticism. If it gets to that point and Mahomes is like 5-4 in SB's...then he will definitely be in the conversation, can't disagree there. The AFC is going be ridiculous for years to come, if he can win 5 that would be pretty ridiculous. The AFC is loaded with young, talented QB's. Brady had to deal with Big Ben, Manning and Rivers (not much of a threat) then of course Eli in NFC lol.

The intentional grounding was the correct call too. Burrow threw it straight into the ground otherwise it is a sack anyway and they are in the same position. There wasn't a WR near where he threw the ball. Most of the calls you are talking about are either 50-50 or the right calls.

I could see if it was a clear blown call like the CLE-KC where Higgins stretches out for a TD and there is obvious helmet to helmet contact, totally changes the game but I don't see one play in this game to suggest that. *I had to reference that Browns game LOL* Even then the Browns had a chance to win at the end of the game, just like Cincy.

Then why not call the same play earlier where Mahomes did the exact same thing? Or the obvious block in the backfield? How do you miss every call on one side, but land every ticky tack penalty on the other side all in the last five minutes?

Why is it so hard for you to except that the game was rigged?

It's not like refs have ever rigged games before...Oh wait

And even if it wasn't rigged refs have their favorites. Who do you think would win if wiggy was reffing a Cavs game? lol
