True.  Free agency will be interesting.

They just said he "was the fastest in the NFL this year".

Shorten the game right along with them. Run it if you can and make them score. Dont try and score too quickly because they become another monster when they control the time of possession by alot.


Id even think about taking the ball upon winning the coin toss. Keep them down and if they wanna shorten the game, do the same shit to them. The quicker this game is the best for us because our offense is so explosive we will never really be under pressure if it turns out to be a low possession game

Great score but why wasn't that a penalty for Hill taking the pom poms and using them as a prop?

This is what happens when a team that ties the Lions backs into the playoffs…

They’d have to sign a new contract wouldn’t they? I don’t know how you can look at this and sign him. If see what mid tier vets are available. Winston or Dalton type players.

He absolutely does.  I live in Lubbock and I saw all his TTU games.  There was one game in 2016 against KU where he was playing "hero ball" (that's the derogatory name we used) and he got injured and we were down.  The backup proceeds to come in and throttle KU just by playing within the offense.

It's actually happened a few times with the Chiefs too.  Henne took the reins just fine when Mahomes was down a year ago.  WTS, I totally appreciate what he's done and he is proud of his background.  However, everyone has vices and his is that he feels he can do it all himself.

Also the lineman throwing Watt to the ground. Steelers not used to being on this side of the calls.

In hate the Steelers as much as anyone, but they didn't back into the playoffs.

His arm talent is insane and those plays when he has no options are amazing, but just stay within the offense. That’s what he’s been doing since the second quarter and he’s killing it.

Did Al Michaels just say Ben was going off to the farm?!?!? ??

Thanks for this as I am starting to see the same thing. Took awhile though.

Thought Mahomes was great, but he just might not be. I love how Burrow plays myself.

If you need help from other teams and don’t control your own destiny I consider that at least somewhat backing in.

Maybe he said Ben has an f'ed up arm.

Chargers are a way better team than the Steelers, way better.

The Steelers got lucky, they never deserved to be in the Playoffs IMO.
