I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
The Refs had nothing to do with the outcome of that game. It was a nicely called game. (I even mentioned this in the Discord chat in the 4th Quarter... there is no win/loss bias) [Reply]

Also, disrespecting your opponents doesn’t usually work in your favor. Fans should never act like their team is invincible. Players shouldn’t run their mouths until the work is done.
And, things like whatever runs in Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes’ veins really matter.
Mental toughness matters. It’s the difference between a hobbling Mahomes running for that first down and #58 giving us the last chunk of yards we needed.
It’s the difference between leading the game winning drive with special teams and practice squad players (until recently) and not getting it done even with two superstar receivers.
Burrow’s a good one but he hasn’t reached that level, of being inevitable.
This will be a great rivalry in the coming years. Will be fun to watch. But the Bangles learned that pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
I know people think it’s cheezy but it’s true. And I don’t doubt that Justin Reid doing this to jamaar chase last game motivated the hell out of chase. [Reply]
From the end of Patton...
