Second, we killed the spirit of the Buffalo Bills. They will never be the same again.
Third, I suspect the Chiefs are the only reason that the 49ers aren't pegged on the right side of scale.
Fourth, look at those Bears fans. They must think that they have the second coming of (checks historical records) Rex Grossman.
Fifth, I hope the patriots stay where they are forever, on both axes.
This is true. I’m excited to watch this season, but I don’t have expectations of success for Denver. [Reply]

Im sure u could find other sites that are little bit different than this. Sometimes metrics can be deceiving. You look at Stats and they often don't tell the whole story. For example, when you measure metrics they are comparable, but it's not an exact science because different teams are played on different days and different conditions and so forth. The argument could easily be made, by more than just Chiefs fans, that McDuffie is better than Surtain, especially last season.

Those 2 and Sneed were the best 3 CBs last year imo.
Sneed was incredible last season. He was targeted 24 times more than McDuffie and only gave up one more catch, 2 fewer TDs and allowed less yards and YAC. He also had twice as many passes defended and 2 more interceptions. [Reply]
