2019 Other NFL and Super Bowl Discussion

1st quarter done, Chiefs in the Mahomes era have never been down this much.

Mahomes isn’t playing bad at all. 4 drops already in Q1 and were all good passes right on the hands. 3 of the 4 were first downs. their bigger problem is i don’t think KC can run on HOU. AKA THE TRENCH. They will be pressing a pass-first attack all day. Meanwhile HOU is grinding 4-6 yards a carry on 1st down.

If i wanted LAC to win more next year, no doubt now OT is the pick. Problem is Rivers has to be replaced, not necessarily next game or year, but the light at the end of that tunnel is very bright. Win now and next year’s pick just gets worse. Maybe they take OT at 6, sell #2 for a 2021 #1 - and use that plus their #1 and some change to go up and get Lawrence in 2021. They will still be missing some pieces but Lawrence on a rookie contract lets them rent vet FAs. No position saves as much money for rookie deal than QB - that saves ... what ... $25M/year or so these days?

Which is the other option - take QB at 6 and rent some real professional OTs for 2 or so years. Should be able to draft an OC or OG in later rounds, though that requires TT hire someone who can actually evaluate OL talent. Because he can’t.

Not to nitpick, but a couple of those passes were pretty bad, behind the receivers - but they should have been caught.

Watson is playing near perfect.

Watson and Mahomes in line for extensions that people think may approach $40m/year

[Bolt-O]

Dang, wanted the Texans to go for it there.

[captaind]

Chiefs will come back. Refs will make it happen. NFL execs are shitting bricks at the prospect of a Titans/Texans championship game.

[powderblueboy]

Chiefs fans are stunned!

Stunned!!!

Left 4 points out there in my view.
Mahomes says...do you know who I am ?

:More Q Please:me too...

[Bolt-O]

Only 3 playoff games (or Super Bowl) with a bigger deficit and comeback to win.

[Bolt-O]

That was a fast series. I can't count the Chiefs out yet.
