Davidson Deac II

Not really sure. I am in a hotel and the picture is a little flaky. He did just make a great throw over the middle, but the defender was a little better.

Not a good start for Penix tonight.

Here is a virtual beer on me.

Honestly, aside from 1 or 2 plays/plaers, I am fairly pleased with the play of the offense. Thielen with a 100 plus yards in 1 half is fanastic. Defense, well not much to say. I hope Pinero's struggles are due to injury.

I think a lot of people confuse tanking and sucking.

Looking at Tampa's injury report vs ours, they look to be about the same. Everyone is a little banged up this time of year.

The NFC playoffs will be very interesting. I think five teams have a shot at the SB (Rams, Eagles, Packers, Vikes, and Detroit). The AFC is going to probably end up being which team loses to KC in the championship game.

Chicago has the worst end game management I have ever seen.

Great play by Williams and Moore. That was crazy pressure by Seattle though.

In my lifetime, its Jim McMahon. In fact, without a torn rotator cuff, he might have ended being a very good qb.

Irt my original comment, I wasn't necessarily saying that they had to do it this year. Just that they need to draft someone to take Wilson's place eventually. And it would be great to have someone sit for a year or two while wilson is still able to play. But my point about the draft is, is it a stinker? Its really impossible to tell. To often, the great qb classes (2021) turn out to be not great, while the lesser hyped classes are better than advertised.

Impossible to tell until they actually play in the NFL. Until then, its just a guess.

Steelers run game was fairly effective in the first half, but the Chiefs adjusted and Pittsburgh hasn't been able to pass the ball on the KC side of the field.

If I am the Steelers, I am looking for a qb to draft that can sit on the bench for a year or two behind Wilson, ala Jordan Love.

Chiefs defense looking very good today.

An average qb and a rookie receiver.

Given the cap situation, they are stuck with him for a couple of years, unless they want to take a massive dead money hit.

The Tankers always mention Justin Herbert. If only we had been one pick higher. But the never mention that Herbert was arguably only the third best qb taken in that draft. The best was Burrow, but number two is probably Jordan Love. But due to some very bad analysis, Love wasn't picked until the 26th pick. We easily could have had the second best qb that year without tanking or trading draft picks, if only predraft analysis had been better.

I understand how you feel. I live in Winston Salem, and go to 1-2 games a year, and it is a hassle. Takes the whole day and cost a fortune.

We did score more points against them than any other team, except for the one they lost.

Did they? We had a very productive game offensively. Don't get me wrong, I think Leggette could be very good eventually, but he still has a ways to go, and Moore/Coker/Thielen is a little bit better group at this point.

Statistically, the deep game vs Philly would have been a little better had Leggette held on to the pass on the last drive.

Watching Dallas dominate Tampa makes it seem that maybe our loss to them wasn't as bad as it seemed.

Yeah, I cannot get this got to lose games to get higher picks. You have to make smart picks, and smart trades, and smart free agent signings. No one doubts that. But losing intentionally never helps a team.

Jacksonville seems to be on track for getting a top 2-3 overall pick for the third time in the last five years. Doesn't seemed to have helped much, but maybe third time will be the charm. Meanwhile the two time defending Superbowl champ Chiefs have only picked in the top ten once since 2013 and they had to trade up to get there. The team they beat last year, the forty niners did get Bosa as a top ten pick. They also picked Trey Lance (bust), McGlinchey (no longer with the team) and Solomon Thomas (bust). There are certainly some advantages in getting higher picks, but those advantages are greatly exaggerated by proponents of the tank.
