    It's just too hard for me to get excited about the NFL, maybe NCAA but not the NFL.

    I think Denver or Buffalo will be fighting it out for the AFC with Buffalo finally winning

    NFC no idea other than the Rams

    Ill never get why KC isnt giving Mahomes more weapons.

    Rams are definitely the favorite especially if Donald comes back and is anywhere close to what he was that d line will be a real problem and Donald did another workout with them today.

    Philly got some more offensive help for Hurts but wasnt great last year. Vikings I wouldnt sleep on either

    Mahomes has better weapons than Allen I think

    Maybe but Kelce is nothing special anymore and the rest of them are kinda like Rick Vaughan in Major League saying he played in the California Penal League.

    But the reality is that the Chiefs didn't waste Mahomes prime years and did him well with help on the offense, Buffalo basically has been hanging Allen out to dry since he became good

    That is true which is one reason why he runs so much and basically acts like a RB on his runs. Coleman should turn into something. Allen is one of those guys that spreads the ball around a lot which is a good thing but can make it hard to keep the diva WRs happy

    That's what drove Diggs out of there

    They should still have 2 good WR's for him at all times, they live employing guys who are terrible in hopes that Allen will make them good and it's cost them

    Coleman has the potential to be really good. Big guy super fast but yea they really should be putting more around him and spreading the ball is definitely what drove Diggs away. If they get get him a couple big time guys I would suspect hed probably spread it less

    I thought there was a lot of heat on Coleman last season because he was horrible with drops?

    He is just another Gabe Davis, just a roster filler since the Bills can't evaluate WR talent all that well, but again getting rid of McDermott was a huge step in the right direction, speaking of McDermott I remember that moron giving useless Gabe Davis a game ball when he didn't even record a single catch lol

    His rookie year he had a lot of drops, last year it was only 7% cutting his rate in half. Only 4 ofhis drops would have been considered on his target. He seems to have fixed that problem. He gets a lot of attention too defensively. At FSU he was the punt returner but doesnt look like the Bills are going to let him do that

    Ok maybe I'm beating the kid up too much then

    Either way I just feel it's going to be the same old same old with Buffalo this season with Allen struggling in games where his wideouts are going against a good backfield

    Allen is bound to get injured with his physical style of running for a QB

    Allen definitely needs to knock that crap off and start sliding.

    Coleman can get open against good backfields but not consistently being double teamed all the time since the other WRs arent that good and you arent going to waste a db covering a TE. Allens going to have to just keep spreading the ball around since they really have 2 guys that can get open consistently and one is a TE

    you must not be aware that D.J. Moore plays for Buffalo now. he's no Chase or Jefferson, and i don't like now his tenure ended in Chicago, but to say that the other receivers aren't that good -- with Moore being a part of those "others" -- is a bad take by you.

    Moore will be Allen's #1 option and could be in line for a career year

    Given that Moore hasnt played a game for them yet Im not sure how that would have impacted Colemans first two seasons which is what was being talked about

    Moore wasnt good last year. We will see how that works out but to say hes a lock for number 1 or that Allen is going to focus on him and not spread the ball around is a bad take. It really doesnt even matter who is 1 or 2. Moore isnt a Jefferson, Nambers, Chase, Lamb level anyway

    Also dont forget theres literal video of DJ Moore walking off the field mid play giving up on it.

    @Basebal21

    the point is that you said the other receivers on the team aren't that good, implying that Moore sucks. the Bills were a top-5 offense without him last season, and Allen's wideouts were Shakir, Coleman and Palmer. no true #1, and that's putting it mildly. that's a testament to the type of QB he is. Moore is a better receiver than every one of those guys, so just imagine what Allen can do for him. actually, don't imagine -- we received a sample size in the first preseason game when he averaged 20 yards per catch.

    we'll revisit Moore's stat line after the season and see if it exceeds "not that good" type of production.

    I'm guilty of forgetting about DJ Moore, I think he is a very solid WR but again Allen really doesn't like to focus hard on one WR consistently, I don't think Moore will be as high maintenance like Diggs was if he isn't getting 10 targets a game

    I heard Steve Smith said good things about a Chiefs rookie receiver, I think his name is Cyrus, and Chiefs Kingdom gave him hell for it because apparently he said several years ago Skyy Moore was going to be a really good receiver for KC. 😂😂

    I have a hard time getting over the walking off the field middle of the play thing. Ill take the Diva that wants the ball and tries over that.

    That said if he has a good year with an elite QB I will give him his credit where credit is due.

    no one was more pissed off at him that i was after he ran that lazy ass route and ended our season. took me a long time to get over that, but i finally did. now i'm able to look beyond that and project what he'll do in Buffalo, and i have a sneaking suspicion that he'll have a big year........in large part due to the guy who's going to be throwing to him.

    I had some teammates like that over the years even in college and professionally where they just give up if things arent going their way. Most of them never changed but a couple did.

    I do hope Moore does change and has a monster year because I do like Allen. That said its one of those things where Im going to have to see it first before praising the guy

    Another thing we can't forget to add to the incompetence of the Browns is wasting a 3rd round pick on Gabriel only to have a QB battle in camp that doesn't include him

    Cleveland is a JOKE! Haslam picked the new coach because he is a "Yes Man" and will do What Jimmy says. Haslam still wants to prove that getting Deshaun was the right move - even though next year they can't afford him so even if he has a breakout year he will not be on the Browns roster..........

    Now back to the 49ers owner.................. :D

    Tough first game in KC. I don’t think the Chiefs have said for sure if Mahomes will be ready to start all I’ve heard is Patrick has said he will be ready and healthy. Anybody know anything about that ….. basebal21? I don’t follow very closely during the offseason.
