The NFL had its chances to fuck the Chiefs against the Bills.
The League didn’t. The League knew the following two weeks would be nothing but ref cope. They allowed that to happen.
If anything, the NFL enjoys the controversy. As stupid as it may be. [Reply]
#Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), DT Jalen Carter (illness), RB Kenny Gainwell (knee/concussion) and DE Brandon Graham (elbow) were limited in practice today.
OL Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens were full participants. [Reply]

Weird as it sounds but that makes sense. If he feels like playing off will just cause Mahomes to methodically pick his defense apart on long time consuming drives, he might as well switch it up. Blitzing Mahomes is risky, but if they can get home in time they could create a drive altering sack or possibly create a turnover due to a rushed throw. [Reply]

Yeah I want the Chiefs to dish out an ass kicking like the niners put on Elway's broncos. [Reply]

Good Mahomes will eat them alive. They only way to limit Mahomes is drop everyone back in coverage and get to him with only 4.
I believe he is the best quarterback against the Blitz. [Reply]
The Smith hamstring issue lingers large. He'll play no doubt but he's had a week and a half off and still can't practice fully? If he's got a questionable hamstring are they really gonna make him run a bunch of routes? Or will they just make him be a decoy? He missed games because of his hamstrings during the regular season so this could be interesting. Forcing Hurts to throw the ball will reveal a lot if Smith doesn't get targeted much. [Reply]

Playing in the AFC has its perks. It’s the more difficult conference and making it through that prepares a team well for facing NFC opponents. [Reply]
