| Travis Kelce, TE for the Chiefs is very good. He just made a one handed snatch that I do not think most Tight Ends would or could make. |

Well benching Erick Flowers did wonders.... |
true or not....looks bad for him since he is the only variable that changed.  My guess is he is on a pretty quick path to "out of the league"
Kind of miss him....he caused a lot of checkdowns for Barkley which helped me in my PPR league.... |

| Get well soon JGaroppolo. Good thing he's got a contract with quite a bit guaranteed upfront. |

I thought that one would've been called even last year. Thought he drove through him and put his weight on him when he landed. Knew it was going to be called as soon as I saw it.
Last week's was a joke, because he actually tried to minimize force, I felt. On this one, I don't think he did, and they just aren't going to allow you to do that to the QB. |

Even more, his OC Mike McCoy deserves to be fired. Right now. With the game on the line and 3rd and 2 near midfield, and only needing a FG to win, David Johnson, who is perfectly healthy, was not on the field. You know who was? Chase Edmonds. Now, I'm not saying that Edmonds can't be good one day, but give me a break. If you don't think DJ should be on the field with the game on the line, you deserve to get fired literally in the locker room. |

Somethings not right in NE. They lost the the lowly Lions 26 10. They lost back to back. They haven't done that in eons, Either Belichick or Brady will be gone next season if they don't get it together.

That was the most fun I have had watching an early season game in a long time. Detroit dominated. That (bleep) Brady and Belicheat looked like asses. NIU's Golladay looked great.
Hats off to Patricia. He beat his former boss on the field and in the class department (not that the second one is all that hard).

they can do that, I mean they have to turn the page at some point, but definitely will not fix or improve the team.
I know you did not, but it appears many are dancing on their football graves already tonight. I have seen this story before, and Belichick and Brady eventually make their haters look like clowns. I will wait a few more games before deciding the '18 Patriots fate. |

New England will be fine, unless this is the year where Brady succumbs to Father Time. They are really missing Edelman and Cooks right now. Obviously, we know Cooks won't be coming back there. But teams are just double-teaming Gronk right now and the other options aren't winning their one-on-one matchups. Edelman's return as a security blanket will help, and they'll need Josh Gordon to at least keep defenses honest, like Cooks did.
The AFC looks completely wide open. New England looks slow/unathletic on defense and I already mentioned their current offensive issues. J'ville has Bortles at QB, and he's just as capable of putting up a total clunker as he is what he did last week. KC has no D whatsoever. The Chargers are above-average on both sides of the ball when Bosa is available, but he's not right now, and they always find ways to lose games. Pittsburgh looks fractured and their D has not been the same since Shazier's injury. The Ravens could have decent units on both sides of the ball once Jimmy Smith gets back, but I'm still skeptical on Flacco, and they also need John Brown to stay healthy. I'm still not buying Dalton in Cincinnati. And Miami is not for real.
I don't even know which team I would pick out of the AFC right now if you only gave me one choice. I might pick the Jaguars out of a hat, but not confidently. |

That was the EXACT play where I was like wtf, handoff to Edmonds? Why did you guys even sign this guy? This was the play that made me want to bang my head on a wall.
The other numbskull thing was putting Rosen in with 3 mins to go in a close game against Khalil Mack and the Bears defense.
That’s just a dick move. Take your lumps and make a QB change and let the kid prep. Why put in your rookie in a situation like that? |

My quick thoughts/hot takes on the AFC....
Best Offense - Kansas City
Best Defense - Jacksonville
Best Overall (Offense & Defense) - LA Chargers
Current "bad team" most likely to improve/contend in December/January - 1. New England, 2. Pittsburgh
Unsure if Pretender or Contender - Miami and Cincinnati. Tend to believe in Cincy if Mixon returns soon, and AJ can remain healthy. |

Kerryon is legit, but he does have a history of injuries that apparently date back to high school. I just don't think they want to commit to over-using him because of that. But there's no doubt that he pops on tape. Quick, decisive, and powerful. And has good hands as well. |

New England is in trouble IMO. That defense had a lot of trouble with Jacksonville and the Lions. How will they stop the Chiefs? Or any playoff team in the AFC?
Even if the offense gets it going, if they are still a step slower than last year it’s a major problem.
I’m not sure what we will see out of the Patriots. But right now I think a 10-6 or 11-5 record looks more likely than the 13-3 and 14-2 records we have seen from them in the recent past.
Edelman won’t play next week against Miami either so that game will be VERY interesting after the Patriots just played 10 straight quarters of bad football.

People talk about 2014 but the Patriots ran off 7 straight wins after the loss to KC and their next game was a blowout win followed by a 15 point win. If they do that again I’ll be surprised; a 5-2 record in the next 7 games would be pretty good.
Last year the Patriots started 2-2 but the offense played well; it was just the defense playing like trash instead of both sides of the ball.
And a large percentage of the time the Patriots actually do get off to fast starts. People remember the slow starts because it’s unusual for them. |

I have not watched much of Seattle, but why is Penny not getting touches? I saw Carson's numbers yesterday, but I could get 100 yards on 30+carries. I also think it is time for Tampa to get Ronald Jones on the field. Barber is pedestrian, and there is no reason we need 4 TE's active every week. |
