Stroud looks amazing. We’ll see if there is a sophomore slump, but I think he is in contention to be the best QB in the NFL. I liked him more than Young Based on arm strength and size, but he has outperformed my expectations.

This reminds me of all the talk of Reid off a bye week a couple years ago and then the Chiefs lost it. I think it was 2021. Or, going into the opener this year and how well he does in openers and lost. Eagles are a great team. Can’t wait for the game and I believe the Chiefs will come out on top, but this is the most difficult game on the schedule IMO.
In all seriousness, I know that game absolutely sucked for the Broncos, but I think it was the turning point for the Broncos season. Being utterly humiliated like that had to be motivating. As a fan of the Chiefs, I wish it had been a normal beat down and not a near historic one. Maybe then, the Broncos would still be on the skid. Doubt it though. I hated the Broncos for a long time. I started feeling bad for you all last year.
Mahomes plays the game at a different level. He often has open WR’s because of the way he moves his eyes, his head, and his shoulders, and the way he scrambles laterally long enough for someone to get open. He gets greedy and impatient at times. We saw that in 2021. The 2021 team also needed to be rebuilt and they needed to add some secondary WR’s. Hill was flashy and made big plays. He also had a lot of drops and wasn’t a reliable guy to go to in tight coverage on third down. He is shorter than 5’9 and has small hands. I am hoping that Rice develops into a prototypical #1 like AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson, Cedee Lamb, Jamar Chase, etc. Not little guys that pop the ball up in the air for easy interceptions or that can have defenders go over the top of him easily.
First quarter, or worth a big lead? No. Two games or more lead in standings? No. Close game fighting for playoff positioning? Yes
It’s nuance, but Allen should not have even included the rest of the team. We all know that the team had a late DPI. We all know they had 12 men on the field. However, the QB needs to only talk about how he needs to do better when he is responsible for three turnovers. His entire press conference should have deflected blame away from anyone but himself. We all know that others are responsible as well. Leaders take the blame when it goes wrong and spread the praise when it goes right. I don’t think Josh is a leader and honestly, looking at the way Diggs behaves, I think the Bills are devoid of leadership from the head coach on down.
