    Watson, who started the Browns game then was taken out in the first quarter after being knocked to the ground, had no zip on his passes and was intercepted once and another near interception was dropped. Coaching staff didn't comment but sideline reporters stated he was in obvious pain from trying to throw under game conditions.
    So that's what a quarter billion dollars gets you nowadays!

    I just can’t understand how the NY Jets had no use for Mecole Hardman. He comes back to the Chiefs and has a huge 50 yard punt return and a critical first down catch to help KC put away the game against the Chargers.
    Glad the Jets were stupid enough not to play him. 😝
    Also Charles Omenihu was back and had a sack and a huge batted down pass attempt. Chiefs D shut down the Chargers in second half. Zero points.
    Meanwhile Mahomes is gradually taking back his rightful spot at the top of the QB leaderboards.
    QBR of 92, passer rating 129, 424 yards passing with 4 touchdowns.
    Of course the GOAT tight end was huge with 179 yards receiving.

    Stupid list…. Mistlin

    The Jets just waste opportunities with solid players, Hardman just needed a chance but Wilson isn't the greatest QB to give that opportunity, had Rodgers not got hurt it might have been a different story but without him I'm not surprised, they basically wasted Lev Bells talent as well

    The Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins had more distance yards in four field goals (210) than QB PJ Walker had in yards passing (178) yesterday.

    Well, Kelce and Gronk are the same age and one looks like a broken down old man who retired years ago and was in his prime about a decade ago, and the other just put up 179 yards receiving yesterday.

    Honestly I took that as the GOAT TE currently playing, Kelce is a better receiver than Gronk ever was but overall Gronks ability to block much better gives him the edge in my opinion. Kelce is one of the best vertical threat TE's ever though, can't really argue that but Tony Gonzalez was better

    And yes I started a poll 💥💥💥

    I honestly could not care less about making an argument for the Gronk/Kelce GOAT debate but as for the rest of your remark, If I was Gronk and waking up every morning next to this,I'd be hoping to hear that sound much more than 17 times each morning. 😎

    He's known as not performing well in "prime time" but tonight he did. I would imagine that, barring a SB run, the Cousins years will be so frustrating for Vikings fans because he seems like he could be the guy.

    That was crazy. I know they called it an errant throw, but it seems to me like he made a mental error and thought the ump was the first baseman. 🤷

    I read different arguments whether or not the ump should have been looking. Obviously MLB infielders are throwing rockets in that situation. Sone say he should keep his eye on the release of the throw for a split second, judge the trajectory, and that way he can protect himself. I think this is what sone do especially at lower levels. 🤷

    Even when he was healthy he looked like a shell of what he was 3 years ago. Excuses of just knocking the rust off only we’re good for so long. His arm is weak and he’s a full step slower. I’m beginning to think his athletic abilities masked his shortcomings as a quarterback. Now that his athletic abilities are diminished he looks like a below average quarterback making a billion dollars a year

    3 tries at 4th down to keep viewers interested. One was a very unnecessary face mask. The first a ticky tack illegal contact. The touchdown and 2 pt conversation both deflected. If the Bills have any luck it’s 100% bad this year. Every bouncing ball bounces against them. Bills deflect passes fall to the ground. Opponents deflect passes into interceptions and recover their own fumbles.
