And I'll open with the elephant in the room. The Cowboys' season is gonna suck. With Dak Prescott out for ~6 weeks, they're relying on a backup QB with an offense that is still stopping itself with drive-killing penalties. FOUR false starts? Ugh.
-
"The Broncos, Browns and Niners invested seven number-one draft picks, two num. 2s, three num. 3s, a num. 4, two starting players and about $500 million in new quarterbacks. None produced a victory on opening weekend." - Gregg Easterbrook
I do enjoy fun stats like that. :D
-
Watching Tampa v Green Bay... the Tampa offensive line is leaking badly. Doesn't matter how well Brady can pass if he doesn't get a chance to throw the ball. They're also racking up pre-snap penalties and that needs to stop asap.
-
The Chief's showing against the Colts on Sunday was painful, I'm still traumatized.
-
And, somehow, the Cowboys found some touchdowns they didn't use last year that were still not yet past their expiration date and managed to use them against the Giants. Crazy season...
-
How bout them Cowboys.
I know Washington are a pretty poor football team atm but I thought the Cowboys season was cooked after Dak broke his thumb and was gonna be out for 6-8 weeks, but they’ve won 3 in a row now with Cooper Rush. Who would’ve thought?
They’re saying Dak could be back next week, but he might not just walk back in as the team is doing that well without him.
-
Yeah, no hurry, Dak, heal up good, Cooper Rush is the real deal, looks like.
Eagles are looking like they got their act together, as well. NFC East is gonna be a tough division, after all, excepting the Commanders. Planning to cheer for the Chiefs vs the Bucs tonight.
-
Aaron Rodgers just racked up his 500th TD pass. Well done, GB! Tied up the score with the Pats.
-
Mahomes!
In all the football last night, Mahomes made a basketball shot of a pass for a touchdown, the man is golden and oh so fun to watch when he's in a groove.

Real class from John Metchie III, bringing his hospital family to the Texans game.

KC played Sunday like they wanted to win that game. And it worked!
I feel bad for their kicker from the Colt's loss - called the guy up and he had to be thinking it was his chance to climb the ladder into the NFL, but either had a really bad day or just sucks. Either way, they sent him back to where they found him after that performance.
He'll be 90years old telling his grandkids about how he played in an NFL game. Once.
Which is more than I can say, but still.
-
Speaking of kickers, the Saints kicker... how much antacid is he going through after that double-doink?
-
The NFC East is no longer the NFC Least... setting hapless Washington aside, the Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants are making some strong statements with their wins. Giants, with all their injuries and manpower flux, still found a way to beat the Packers.
Meanwhile, Russell Wilson is either going over a cliff or has already gone off a cliff.
-
Are you happy that a couple of recent games were held in London (Tottenham's White Hart Lane)?
I know there have been suggestions of holding the occasional Premiership game in foreign parts... there was almost civil war!
-
The London games wind up showing very early in the day on US time, so I'm usually doing my Sunday morning stuff while they're on. There's talk of creating a few European teams for the league, but the logistics involved look to keep the talk as just talk.
-
How about them Broncos?!! Hahahahahaha

Matt Rhule no longer works for Jacksonville, being paid $40 million to not coach. Who's next to be fired?
A. Ron Rivera
B. Kliff Kingsbury
C. Josh McDaniels
D. Lovie Smith
E. Frank Reich
F. Other (Please specify)
I'm looking at Ron Rivera, the only coach left from NFC Least. When the other teams around him struggled, he didn't look *that* bad. Now that even the Giants are doing well, the big question over Ron is why he hasn't gotten things together for his team in 3 years... and if this is an extension of the slump he started having after his last winning season in 2017.
-
Kingsbury or Rivera. I'm with you on leaning towards Rivera, though. Especially since his latest interview, when asked why his team sucked so bad, he basically blamed it on the QB.
-
Yeah, Rivera, that QB being effective is *your* job. Assistants you picked are responsible for getting production... and that offensive line may be why the QB struggles. On a good day with good protection, Wentz can produce.
-
Cheering for KC prior to my cheering for Dallas tonight. And I know it's not NFL ball, but that Alabama-Tennessee game yesterday was crazy good fun. Tenn found a way, 52-49.
-
Upsets galore this week

Upsets galore this week
"The Jets beat the Packers in Green Bay."
Never did I ever think I was going to type that sentence. :smug:
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are having a hard, hard time in Philly. Oof.
-
The Cowboys managed to get some stops on defense and find a bit of their mojo on offense in the 2nd half but you can’t be giving teams a 17 point lead at the half, especially a team in the form the Eagles are in.
Ok Ive seen/had enough of Rush now, time to bring back Dak.
Next four games are very winnable, particularly the next two.
-
Bills were the better team. KC had several opportunities to turn some numbers but couldn't get it done.
The Eagles are hitting on all cylinders so far. I caught that halftime score and figured unless there was some divine intervention Dallas might as well go home.
-
Pretty much what I saw, as well. Bills and KC are very evenly matched, next meeting could go the other way.
Cowboys keep beating themselves with pointless penalties. 10 for 72 yards last night, including a personal foul. That team has needed discipline for years and McCarthy does nothing to change the course they're on, which is to beat down teams having a rough year and to fall short of beating teams on a championship run.
-
Super Bowl thoughts a little early in the season... but Eagles v Bills could be the big game in February.
-
At this juncture I think the Eagles are operating about one level above the Bills, but I can certainly see a match up between them at the big game.
Of course, this is the NFL we're talking about, and things can fall apart (or get together) at the drop of a hat.
-
As of now, there are only 8 teams in the NFL with winning records. Everyone else even or losing. And the Saints... ooooh, time to sound the alarm in New Orleans!
-
Somehow, the Bucs found a way to lose to the *Panthers*!
-
The Chiefs clanked out through the 1st q, found a groove, and rode it all over SF. It seemed like Hardman was living in the end zone, but there were enough points for everyone to have some. KC really needs to put Skyy Moore on O and stop having him try to return punts.
-
Meanwhile, everyone who predicted that this week, the Giants would have as many wins as the Bucs and Green Bay combined, collect your massive winnings at the payout window. :D
-
That Bucs loss was...unexpected. I know you mentioned the Panthers a couple of posts up, but I'm still trying to process it. Brady is always full of surprises, and we're basically at half-season, but after the loss to Pittsburg, then the complete ass-whipping by the Panthers, I'm wondering of those seven Super Bowl rings are weighing a bit much on Brady's hand.
I know the general buzz is that he isn't really into it, and should have just stayed retired. But the man is a competitor, and I can't believe he'd be OK with mediocrity from himself. Like getting tromped by a second string QB from a floundering team.
-
It's the rest of the Tampa team that's not up to it. Brady can't win that game alone. TB needs some D and those receivers need to practice not dropping things. They can still turn things around there and in Green Bay, but it's going to have to be a team effort.
-
OMG the 4th Quarter in the Vikings-Bills game! THAT is some great gridiron football going on there!
EDIT: It got even crazier! :yes: :batdance: :zomg: :excited: :drama:
-
Having agony as a Cowboys fan as the Packers evened up the score to put it into overtime and the Boys are finding clever ways to commit penalties to kill their drive.
-
That was more like it from the Cowboys. Their highest winning road win in franchise history and against a 7-1 team.
How good a season is Tony Pollard having.

PLEASE don't let this version of the team wind up on the back of a milk carton! :D
A convincing statement win against a team with a strong record while minimizing ticky-tacky penalties is the Dallas team that can go the distance. Here's hoping they stay healthy and focused like that for the schedule ahead!
-
Well, let's hope the Cowboy's don't decide to pick up the recently free Melvin Gordon (III).
-
They might get Odell Beckham after they Giants game, should they win.
-
Was shaping up as one of those customary frustrating Cowboys performances, six penalties, two Dak turnovers and down 13-7 at the half but they managed to get it together in the 2nd half and get the W.
-
That first half was awful, I turned it off after Dallas got their 9th penalty in the 3rd quarter. Nice that they got the win, but that wasn't the team that played the Vikings.
Lions put up a hell of a fight, they are for reals. A little more tuning, and they will be a real threat going forward. Bears need more tuning on their defense and then they'll also be contenders.
Back to the Cowboys: when they learn how to not jam themselves up with avoidable penalties, they will be ferocious.
-
^That officiating crew did way over officiated the game though. Very frustrating actually.
A record number of viewers for a regular-season game tuned in

-
Another week, and the Chiefs are still on a positive path and the Broncos are a plate full of runny shit. All is right in the world.
-
... and Tampa Bay with Tom Brady took a loss to Cleveland... and if the playoffs were held today, all of the NFC East would be in as either divisional champ or wild card.
-
So, the Chief's v Broncos game that was scheduled for this Sunday has been, as they call it, "flexed" out of the primetime slot and moved to an earlier slot (2pm I think).
Wherein the Broncos suck so bad that even Mahomes isn't enough of a potential draw...
-
They should think about doing a floating schedule like what’s been done in the AFL to assure the better games are in primetime. I know it can be hard for travelling fans but releasing the schedule times in 4-6 week blocks can work.
-
That's not a bad idea. I know when they set the schedule back in the day, sensible people figured the Broncos would have a stellar season. As it turns out, they haven't just had an off-game here and there, they have simply choked and puked at offense.
The Broncos have arguably the best defense in the NFL, and that isn't enough to overcome their inability to put points on the board. Their QB came in highly rated, and for whatever reason gets outplayed regularly by third-string QBs. Obviously one guy neither wins nor loses a game, but there is a certain amount of leadership skill that needs to go along with being the QB, and he has brought the opposite of that to the Broncos offense. It doesn't help that he has a massive contract with the team, has acted like a jackhole since day one, and hasn't been able to back any of that up with performance on the field. So the guys in the locker room are alienated, the fans want the QB fired (not going to happen due to massive money), the fans want the head coach fired (may happen), industry pundits want the GM fired, along with the HC and QB.
New owners, new star QB, new HC...what was initially considered a recipe for success apparently missed some ingredient or the other in the case of Denver.
-
Yeah, Denver found a way to tank and tank HARD. There are teams with poor records that still put up strong fights like Chicago and Detroit, but Denver... ewwww!
-
Yeah Denver are in a world of hurt. There’s no enthusiasm or effort in that team and they look like they’re just going through the motions. They can sack the head coach and GM but they’re stuck with an over the hill QB on a massive contract who’s lost his speed and athleticism that can’t escape or make plays on the run. What a disaster!
-
That morale is what tears down a team. The Rams winning the Super Bowl with Matt Stafford shows that it wasn't Matt's fault that the Lions weren't going anywhere. Same thing for players that got out of Cleveland to better teams - then they could shine. If morale can be fixed and the team decides to be a team, things can turn around. Look at the Vikings with their new head coach - made a MASSIVE difference for them.
And casting around to the rest of the teams having struggles, the Packers come to mind. Questions arise about whether they'd be having a different season right now if Aaron Rodgers had practiced more during the summer with his receiver corps than he did. He opted out of the optional practices, and the lack of rhythm and communication is telling in their ability to produce.
-
Morale is low because their highest paid player is far from their best player. It goes beyond just fixing morale. Wilson is nowhere near the QB he once was but they are stuck with him. No team is going to want to take on his contract, especially on what they’ve seen of him this season. Only thing they can really do is to devise some sort of strategy/plan around Wilson’s inabilities. Run the ball more?
But before that, Wilson needs to accept he no longer the player he once was, which might be the hardest thing in all this.
-
But before that, Wilson needs to accept he no longer the player he once was, which might be the hardest thing in all this.
That's the keystone in the arch, right there. How far does he have to fall before he realizes where he is?
-
The team that beat the Vikings showed up last night to beat the Colts. Well done, Cowboys!
-
Cowboys continue to be a menace, along with the Eagles. Denver actually looked like they were trying to be an NFL team. Didn't matter, Chiefs won.
Looking at the playing on the field, I cannot imagine Kansas City going the distance this season. Possible, but Philadelphia is on another level, and Dallas is not far behind that.
-
Dallas won, but had no business letting it be that close with the *Texans*. Oof! It's like we get the smoothly-functioning Cowboys every other week...
Philly, though... I read a stat on how effective their OL is in terms of how far their RBs get before being touched. It's insanely high, consistently so all season. Jalen Hurts is having an MVP year and things look even better than their SB run in 2017-8. The Vikings are showing some wear and tear - Eagles remain legit from head to toe.
-
Wow! The Cowboys blew any hope of being the #1 seed in the NFC against an also ran.
They always find a way to let you down. What a fucking terrible 2nd half.
-
I managed to catch some of that game, Cowboys must have been trying to emulate the Chiefs, except they forgot to win. Chiefs found themselves in OT as well, against the now 1-12 Texans and barely managed to win. Ten penalties didn't help.
-
Dallas only had 2 penalties, could have been a clean game and a struggle win...
(https://www.networking-forums.com/Smileys/aaron/butno.gif)
I had a lot more fun watching the 2nd half of the Bengals-Tampa game with Joe Burrow's offense showing it was ready to go for the postseason.
Cowboys play the Eagles next week. I do not have high hopes for the Dallas team in that matchup.
-
I'm interested to see how Dallas stands up against Philadelphia. The Eagles have been such a solid team this season, but the Cowboys can show flashes of brilliance.
-
They'll need to show sustained streaks of brilliance to get past Philly! :D
-
sustained streaks of brilliance
love it!
-
Schefty” reporting that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has a sprained throwing shoulder, and could be ruled “out” against Dallas this weekend.
-

I was reading in a sports column how RG3 brought up a consideration of nominating the Eagles' center as MVP. The columnist pooh-poohed the idea, saying that the QB really drives the offense, not the center. But, the columnist conceded that the Eagles' OL is amazing. That will be put to the test on Saturday. I'll be happy for a healthy win over a wounded Eagles, but I'm also wondering if the Eagles are just *that good* that they could have a backup QB and still beat any other team in the league.
-
Eagles v Cowboys did NOT disappoint! And neither did the game I caught before that, Vikings v Giants. Both had great football action, games well played.
The Cowboys team that showed up yesterday I think was strong enough to make a statement that they can beat any other team out there with their defense. Dak Prescott is in strong form and the team as a whole is showing excellent discipline in getting penalties down to a minimum. That's the team I want to see going forward, the one that got stung hard by Jacksonville and is vowing to never again let that happen. Eagles were no slouches, either, but the Dallas defense showed amazing capability. If I'm choosing a Dallas player for MVP discussions, it's Micah Parsons on defense.
-
Merry Christmas! Did all of the holiday family stuff already, so I've got Seventh Star rocking and sitting here still amazed at the shootout Dallas and Philadelphia put on.
I didn't get to watch any games yesterday, but that must have been something else.
-
It's worth watching, well worth watching. Did not disappoint at all, and the highlights showcase top talent running smoothly.
-
I managed to catch some of the game highlights, and the Cowboys looked like they are SB worthy.
Unlike Denver yesterday. It seemed like they might have found some footing after playing reasonably well against KC, and then beating the Cards.
HAHAHAHA nope.
They looked like a pop warner team playing against an actual NFL team. The Rams tore them apart. Wilson was horrible, their defense imploded, jeez.
Denver firing their head coach after that game at least shows the owners are starting to see how jacked up their franchise is, but Wilson's contract is still crushing them like Christian's burden as he wallowed in the Slough of Despond.
-
Hackett was in the hottest of the hot seats, not surprising to see him go.
Patriots might be looking after this year, as well, unless Belichik cleans house with his assistant staff.
-
Given the Eagles unexpected loss Dallas winning the division and clinching the No 1 seed is still alive although I’m not very hopeful the Giants will beat Philly next week which needs to happen as well as a Cowboys win. The Giants have already clinched a playoff spot and will most likely rest a number of starters whilst it looks like Hurts will be back for Philly.
-
I was expecting KC to destroy Denver yesterday, but for the first time all season the Broncos played like a pro team. They still lost (thankfully!) but they made way more of a showing than I thought they would.
Kansas City can do amazing things, but their lack of consistency makes me think they'll get booted after the first round of the playoffs.
-
THINGS I CAN SAY NOW THAT I DID NOT IMAGINE I WOULD BE SAYING BACK IN AUGUST 2022:
1. Jaguars might just win the AFC South.
2. Three NFC East teams will make the playoffs, each with pretty solid records against quality opponents.
3. 49ers got the NFC West, nobody else even close in that division.
4. Lions might make the playoffs. They need some help, but they beat the Packers and they're in.
5. Cowboys got those pre-snap penalties under control.
6. LA Rams may be looking for a new coach, certainly looking for some answers.
7. Geno Smith was the right way to go for Seattle.
THINGS I CAN SAY NOW THAT WOULD BE NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE IN AUGUST 2022:
1. Bills, Chiefs, and Bengals all look like excellent playoff contenders.
2. Vikings are better off with a less-toxic coach.
3. Steelers having a struggle year, but might just squeeze out a winning season.
4. The Raiders and Broncos will find a way to beat themselves, it's a question of which team will do it the worst.
5. Jets, Browns, and Texans will disappoint fans for another year.
6. TOM FRIGGIN' BRADY holy smokes, this guy's a one-man army, some times.
-
What are the odds that Brady goes to Las Vegas next season?
-
What are the odds that Brady goes to Las Vegas next season?
Yeah reuniting Brady and Josh McDaniels could definitely be on the cards in Vegas. But the way Jarrett Stidham played against the 49ers they might be rethinking that.
Scary scenes in Cincinnati tonight. Hoping Damar Hamlin is going to be ok.
-
I was watching that when it happened. The man stood up from the tackle, then just fell straight onto his back. They had emergency crews on him immediately. That is some scary stuff, am hoping he pulls through it as well.
-
While injuries are common, ones like this are quite rare and I'm glad the game was suspended.
-
The Dallas team that showed up to play Washington... oof, these guys are not going to do anything in the playoffs, looking like that.
Bills were on fire. TWO kicks returned for touchdowns, wow!
-
Wild Card games were some wild games indeed!
Bills held on to win over Miami, Bengals schooled the Ravens, Jacksonville gave up FIVE turnovers and never led at all during the game, but won with a field goal that went in after regulation time ended.
49ers gave the business to the Seahawks, Giants were INSANE against the Vikings, and the Cowboys... five touchdowns, but *missed* the first four extra points! So the winning Cowboys showed up, except for the kicker. But they did win their first away playoff game in 30 years.
-
Totally absorbing and crazy wild card round.
How ‘bout them Cowboys!!!
-
Even crazier was that due to broadcasting restrictions (It was on ESPN only in the USA), I had to listen in via radio. I have to say, that was a great experience and I'll do it more often.
-
That’s sucks Z. Do you listen to the Cowboys radio network with Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg? I usually listen to them via Kwon1400 Bartlesville radio whenever I’m working during a Cowboys game. I enjoy them a lot, biased as fuck but they’re suppose to be.
-
Yeah, this was my first time with Brad and Babe, but they've been on TV here before and they're great guys. Loved to hear them on the radio and just keep an eye on a live stat update as they chatted. Radio certainly lets them cut up more. :D
-
49rs didn't show up, so Sb going to be the Eagles and one of these two - Chiefs & Bengals just started. Just as an aside, the stadium they're playing at is a 30 minute drive from where I live.
-
From the sound of it, you should be able to hear whenever the Bengals are on the field. The crowd is ALIVE!!!
-
THAT WAS AN AWESOME GAME.
DUDE.
Super Bowl outghta be awesomeness, hope all the teams heal up prior to it.
-
No doubt - thought Mahomes was going to have to come out of the game at one point. They needed a win against the Bengals, they've been beating us everytime. Couldn't have picked a better game to do it.
Someone around here is shooting off a cannon lol.
-
I got a buddy in Philly that was also reporting cannon fire and other pyrotechnics in his vicinity. I texted him after Purdy went out that the Eagles had it in the bag. Game over at that point. My buddy freaked a little after the Squared Sevens got a TD, but believed my prognostication as the game wore on and there was even question of going to a *fifth* QB in the game.
Bengals absolutely did not need to be committing the penalties that they did - it was hard enough being in the noise of Arrowhead. Those elements aside, Joe Burrow showed amazing sang-froid. Cincy's got an amazing QB in him and it will be great to watch their journey with him.
Right now, though, we're watching Mahomes' journey, and it's a fun, fun ride thus far.

:rofl:
For purposes of this forum, I'll root for KC in the Super Bowl.
For purposes of the Philly fans I work with, I'll root for Philly at the same time. :D
-
I'm calling the Eagles by a touchdown.
Would be happy to see KC win it, but objectively I think the Eagles have a more consistently solid team in all areas.
I watched Blazing Saddles the other day. For those that don't know, it's a movie about Cowboys. And much like the NFL team, it's hilariously funny, and has fart jokes.
:)
-
The official line is that the Cowboys and OC Kellen Moore "parted ways due to mutual agreement", but it's clear he got canned and that the explanation is a big ol' fart joke. So, yes, that is an apt comparison. :P
-
Philly fans living up to their reputation
-
The City of Brotherly Love, say it ain't so!
-
I really have no reason to dislike KC except the fact they’re so dam good and have the best QB in the league that’ll most likely go down as a top 5 all timer. But I have every reason to be hating on Philly. Their fans are probably the equivalent to Collingwood fans in the AFL.
Whoever gets my money will be the one I’ll be quietly supporting for the win which at the moment is Philly but a Philly loss regardless if I have money on them will still be a massive win for me.
I’ve often had money on Collingwood to win a game and have found myself resorting back to what I know if the game is close in the last qtr and that’s hoping/barracking for a Collingwood loss.
-
Collingwood fans really that rough? Wow, if true...
Philly's a rough town, for sure. That fan culture extends across all their teams' fan bases.
-

-
Looking forward to the Eagles not winning, but pretty sure they'll pull it off.
And yeah, all sports fans in PHI are nuts. Has been that way for decades - not sure if it's something in the water (maybe some caesium-137?) or what, but "safe & sane" is not in their mindset lol
-
Eagles didn't have a Mickey Mouse run, lolz.
Eagles had to play everyone in the NFC East twice, and that division turned up the heat this year. Giants were rebuilding, but they rebuilt all the way to the playoffs. The 49ers had loads of injuries, sure, but the Eagles still showed dominance against the 49ers that weren't injured, like Bosa.
KC had a softer schedule of the two - they got to play the Raiders twice and the Broncos twice.
-
Ok :redcard: on Z
You’re not suppose to do that

Lol, time to get the footy season going so we can be in closer agreement on sporting objectives and assessments. :D
-
Two Aussies playing in this Super Bowl. Left tackle Jordan Mailata and ex St Kilda AFL player turned NFL punter Arryn Siposs.
What a truly remarkable story Jordan Mailata is https://www.espn.com.au/american-football/story/_/id/35625087/nfl-numbers-reveal-jordan-mailata-entered-elite-tier-going-super-bowl-lvii
-
2 possessions, 2 touchdowns, we got us a game here!
-
Bad hit for Mahomes, but he's got a longer half-time to get looked at and wrapped up. He's running on the field OK to the lockers, so I'm hoping he can get back out there and make some plays. Eagles have been dominating on time of possession, KC needs to crack that open to get back in the game.
-
OH WOW KC
oh wait under review
OH DAMN TD CALLED BACK
But we got us a football game again here!
-
Touchdown KC, EP good, KC has the lead!
-
TOUCHDOWN CHIEFS SKYY MOORE
-
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
We got us a tie game here!
-
Will KC make the FG to win?
Will there be a block or a doink and we get overtime?
It's GOOD!
KC has the win unless Philly has a helluva kickoff return!
-
And KC Has the win!
-
That was a solid superbowl - everyone wanted to win that and played like it!
-
Shit way the end the game but it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of fans.
Yours Sincerely
A Cowboys fan
Congrats Vyn
-
Haha, thanks Jack. There's talk of Andy Reid retiring, I can't imagine that, but he's 64 so who knows. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
-
Can’t see why Reid would retire. He’s in charge of a dynasty team. They have at the least another two in them as long as Mahomes stays sound.
-
Depends on how rough travel and other factors are on him. Stuff that makes him ask, "Why am I still doing this???" When it outweighs the wins and good times and "THIS is why I'm doing this!!!" moments, he'll retire.
Like if the KC owners went insane and swapped the entire roster for Egyptian cotton and Jon Voight starts selling shares in The Syndicate to anyone and everyone in the stadium, I could see Reid bowing out. Not a likely scenario, I admit.
-
That's kinda what I figure too. It isn't everyday you hit upon the magic formula, and it would have to be some serious discomfiture to make Andy decide to walk away from that right now. There's a lot to be said about leaving on top, but like Jack mentioned, I think they've got more seasons like this previous season ahead of them. The players are young and although anything can happen, this wasn't a fluke. Ever since Mahomes came on board they: make the playoffs ever year, won three times, and now have two SB wins. That's some dynasty shit right there.
Edited to add:
I've been a fan of the Chiefs since they moved here from Texas. Although I don't remember that, I don't think I could really even talk much when that happened lol But I recall the mid-seventies on they sucked. Consistently, for years. They'd have some seasons where they'd make the playoffs, but it was just a fluke. The best thing they've done as a franchise is getting Reid on board, and letting him pick his own QB. One of the selling points of Andy when they announced him as the HC was that he "has an eye for quarterbacks".
He did not disappoint lol.
So, for as long as this team can roll down the winning path, I'm all about it, because I know what thirty years of being second class, or worse, is like.
-
Indeed, they were lost in the murk for the longest time. They were starting to make some headway before Mahomes came on board, but that's what they needed for their breakthrough.
Doesn't hurt that Brady isn't playing anymore... :smug:
