Given how Purdy is looking like today, Darnold may actually be a viable option for the short term. 

Purdy became the first player in the NFL this season to enter concussion protocol and play the week after. They should have kept him out for his own safety anyway.

I normally would be upset about this but the Taylor Swift thing has made me genuinely hate KC.

It's quite a lot for me to want the Broncos to win.

It's definitely super annoying. I get it. The NFL wants to capitalize on appealing to new viewers. But fug, I don't need to TayTay getting as much screentime as Mahomes.

Probably didn't want to cause a controversy although Purdy's play today is going to cause one anyways.

Also, KC losing to Denver isn't a massive surprise. Divisional games can be like that. However, Mahomes just doesn't seem to be as an explosive player as before. Not surprising given anyone other than Kelce isn't anyone really worth mentioning. Oh, and Swift wasn't there for this game so of course the loss is blamed on that.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
