Broncos just pick sixed Indy on a really dumb double-lateral QB-screen attempt of some sort

Congratulations on the division title. I’d rest everybody “within NFL guidelines” and use the remaining weeks as a working bye. They can’t really improve their seeding with 5 losses. I’m sure the order has come down that everybody plays on Netflix. I’d tell Taylor Swift and company to eat shit on Saturday. Start Mills.

Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in today’s game. The Chiefs have little incentive to push him to play against us on Saturday.

 

zero. sit him until the playoffs

We could pass the Steelers/Ravens, especially if KC sits Mahomes next game against us. Our offense isnt exactly firing on cylinders, if the plan is to sit CJ for the next 3 weeks.

Sure. Rest Chiefs. Everybody plays Ravens. Some of kind hybrid against the Titans depending on what we need. 
 

I’m sure 790, 610, and 975 will talk this subject into the ground this week.

Vegas agrees. The Chiefs opened at -3. The line is now Houston-3

[The Earl of Texas 3214]

 

[Hate 20247]

They’re in the tournament and will have a home game. Given the injuries and the terrible OL play, it’s a great accomplishment.

Sicko mode betting these late season NFL games, but millions of people do it.

And Bullock. 

And nearly as many people cried about taking him as Stingley….

[Hate 20247]

If they can somehow shore up the OL next year, they will be legit contenders. I think they can still win a home playoff game and then have a chance in the Division Round on the road. Maybe this new configuration gels for the playoffs?

I don't remember people complaining about drafting Bullock 

[Fud 9724]

I don't see DeMeco "resting" anyone at this point who can play. It's not in his DNA. Maybe against Tennessee if the seeds are locked in 

If you're able to, you want to avoid Baltimore in the first round since they're by far the most dangerous potential wildcard team, but moving up a seed doesn't necessarily mean you're avoiding them since they have the same record as Denver, assuming they don't pass up Pittsburgh 

[Murfdogg21 4563]

Yeah, the #3 seed means a home game against Broncos or Chargers. #4 seed gets Baltimore or Pittsburgh, then @KC in the second round.

Lots of people here bitched incessantly about taking Stingley over Gardner. Once healthy, he’s been better than Sauce. 

 

[Murfdogg21 4563]

I think most of the bitching was comparing our first round to the Jets. They got Sauce, Garrett Wilson, and traded back in for Jermaine Johnson (and then nabbed Breece Hall a pick before us in early 2nd round). We got an oft-injured Stingley, aggy Green, and Pitre. You can give Caserio credit for taking the more talented Stingley, but give him heaps of blame for going aggy over Jordan Davis or Kyle Hamilton, or not trading up a couple spots for Wilson or Olave.

Go back and look at the draft thread there was much wailing….

We’re really lucky he didn’t grab Evan Neal at #3, which a lot of mocks had. He might (somehow) be an even bigger bust than aggy…

[BearSchlong 8238]

The biggest difference has been between Stingley’s ears. He had some off field “distractions” and early last year some teammates and coaches had to sit him down and question his committment. One of the injuries was actually a benching. The man has matured.

Meanwhile Pitre is with the same girl since middle school.

[Fud 9724]

Stingley also doesn't have to live in Lovie's cover two anymore

That's a shitpost account, just FYI. Wouldn't mind seeing it but I doubt it's true.

Also, that account has an insane amount of followers for someone who just makes shit up. 

[The Earl of Texas 3214]

Strange how all the noise about Azeez went away so quickly, no?

Texans/Chiefs at Noon & Texas/Clemson at 3p.

Epic Saturday.

This is the third time recently I've heard Nate Tice criticize the Texans' OL coach on his podcast, but while the first two were more questioning their play, this third one he straight up said the OL is poorly coached. He said their rules suck, there hasn't been development, and you've seen veterans regress

too many prima donnas on the OL 

[Rip76 5022]

Can’t go FGs for TDs.

[Fud 9724]

KC is elite at tackling WR screens, so of course we waste several snaps on the first several drives on them 

[TexArcher 39037]

Nice blitz!

This would be such a huge win for this team's confidence.

[Rip76 5022]

Nice!

He's trying to set up a WR screen pass, but it's not worth it if it keeps setting your offense back

[tx 3 putt 78668]

 

[Fud 9724]

Obvious hold on the TD, but I'll take it
