Yeah, injuries not withstanding QBs can play longer than pretty much other position outside of kicker, punter, and long snapper. Elite QBs are practically expected to play at a high level well I to their late 30s now. You definitely don't expect that out of any other positions outside of the aforementioned specialists.

Well, this ain't over just yet with KC having two timeouts and the two minute warning to go.

Gotta adapt as a play caller. Can't keep dialing up shots when you don't have shooters.

It could happen if he goes to a stacked D where he could play less snaps and focus more on simply rushing the passer. We need him to be an every down jack of all trades and he just ain't it. He's a one trick pony but in the right situation it'd be a helluva trick.

He IS old. He turned 34 early this season. Still a good player, could probably still be elite, but he's just not a #1 target anymore. He's in the Thielen situation. Still good, but no longer up to the role his offense needs him to play because other guys just haven't stepped up. It ain't their fault. Father Time is undefeated.

Reid always has been and always will be the play caller. He is definitely off his game today, but then again the Raiders are just plain kicking their ass in every individual match up. Not a whole lot you can do to overcome that with play calling. You gotta be able to win somewhere. But he's definitely going full Mike Shula today. Constantly looking for the big play instead of just focusing on moving the football. And now he's painted himself into the corner of pretty much having to look for the chunk plays that just haven't been there today.

Oh, I was too. I defended him for a long time expecting him to take the next step in development. He just hasn't. You can't pay him like an elite defender hoping he actually becomes one in his sixth season. He probably just is what he is at this point.

Crosby is what the Burns fanboys thinks he is.

Them trading Tyreek Hill was such a massive blunder. This is what an all-time great QB looks like when he doesn't trust his offense. He doesn't trust his OL and he doesn't trust any of his receivers outside of Kelce.

This Raiders D is flat out playing their asses off.

That Raiders DB just fuged up. Nice pick six, man. Good job. But you don't stare down the best player in the league and dare him to do something about it. They're gonna get lit up like the 4th of July in the 2nd half.

And yet he's still on pace for 4500 yards and 30 TDs. They definitely need to upgrade their offensive weapons though, ESPECIALLY if Kelce retires. Take Kelce off that roster and their offensive skill position talent is as bad as ours, maybe worse.

The Bills have won three straight but they looked terrible in their last game. They really run hot or cold, primarily because Josh Allen really runs hot or cold. Him and Hurts are probably the most hot/cold of all the elite QBs. They either look like All Pros or they looks like they need to be benched and not much in between, you get one or the other.

The early games don't look like much but tonight's game should be a banger.

Pats win on a last second 56 yard FG after the Broncos came back from 23-7 2nd half deficit. How pissed is Robert Kraft right now? You've probably already decided to move on from Belichick at the end of the year and had visions of a shiny new highly drafted QB dancing in your head. That win tonight doesn't help.

I'd be thrilled to be wrong. I'm always thrilled to be wrong when it works out for the best for the Panthers. I didn't want Luke in the draft. I didn't want Beason in the draft. Bryce working out is obviously much better for the Panthers than him busting.

The Pats kicker missed a 47 yarder so bad he missed the whole net. A fan gets a Christmas ball.

Fair enough. Same shtick. One is enough.

Cowboys have lost two straight, Eagles have lost three straight. Might be a battle of attrition to see who hangs on in that division. Both might be backing into the playoffs.

That was one of the most baffling roughing the passer calls I've ever seen.

Dinged his shoulder. They're getting thrashed. Getting him out of there is the smart move.

I've been on the tag and trade camp for awhile. I honestly think our 3-4 transition was primarily about trying to help Burns go from good to elite and he's still who he is. You can't pay this guy $30M a year or anything close to it. Not in a hard salary cap league. $30M/year defenders have to be the elite of the elite.

Just say when. It's a click away.

Yeah, Howell's boxscore looked atrocious.

Wish I could've watched. Just had to much stuff to do. The boxscore looks good. I'm glad he played well. I'd love it if I'm wrong and he becomes a legit franchise QB. Some of y'all are just some absolutely miserable saps. The guy plays well and y'all still gotta be mad as hell about something. It's Christmas Eve and Bryce played well. It's okay to let some joy into your life.
