Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs: Football is back!

[RustyBourneHorse]

Agree 100%. It becomes mainly a question of how often we minions are privileged to see Taylor Swift.

The Chiefs are a very good team, but they are now clearly in Patriots privilege territory. The annointed. It's embarassing for the league. I watched a little but the ultimate outcome was predetermined, which made it a boring charade.

And honestly, it's ruining the fun. Unfortunately, the alternative is giving up football and the league, because of Swift, is just going to keep drawing new fans anyway. I used to be protective of our 5 rings. But, clearly, Jerry doesn't care and the Chiefs are going to blow past us. That much I've accepted at this point. What irritates me is how much cheating they've benefitted from. They do NOT need the refs' help. They're a great team as it is. But the fact the league sees fit to give them ref help too is ruining the sport.

This has been going on for a long time; the numbers are clear. Not to mention when the refs interfere also is clear.
But cue the usual suspects in claiming all the refs are honest wonderful fellows and we are haters to question that

“Most” isn’t in the rules.

I was establishing Mahomes proximity to the sideline, of which some were claiming he was well outside. But thanks for playing.

Remember the Seattle game where Dak was holding on for deer life and running because he was afraid to throw. Same in the SF game when time ran out. I've seen Dak in big moments not want to trust his arm either. Guys are open and he is looking at them but to him a step ahead of the defender spells danger. And Trey Lance I've said from day one he is garbage. He has physical tools that are outstanding but he is trash. Shanahan never would of gotten rid of him if he didn't already figure that out.

Agreed with everything except for the Seahawks game. Dak actually played well against a tough and very good Seahawks team. Threw the football 29/41 attemtps for 300 yards, 70.7% completions %, 3 TDs, 0 INTS, 23 rushing yards while picking up several key first downs with his legs, plus finishing with a 115.8 passer rating. I'm not sure it fits the criticism you bestowed on Dak, especially when he carried the offense to 41 points and a win while our defense gave up 35.

Zeke actually was the reason they won that game. He alone has 140 combined yards.

Huh? Zeke was not with the team last year.

Zeke wasn't even here last year.

The playoffs game against Seattle where Dak was helicoptered running instead of throwing. The following week they lost to the Rams. Another one where Dak couldn't even manage to get a few first downs to give the defense a rest and time to adjust to what the Rams were doing.

Are you serious? That was during the 2018 season playoffs. 6 years ago and barely Dak's 3rd year in the league. Even then, Dak played decently good and helped the offense take the lead in the 2nd half and pull out a playoff victory from a veteran Seahawks team which was only 3 years removed from having reached the NFC Championship game and 4 years removed from winning a Super Bowl. In other words, the Seahawks were supposed to win that playoff game, yet Dak and the younger and inexperienced Cowboys team pulled off a victory.



You are seriously reaching by going so far back to nitpick against Dak, especially in a playoff winning effort barely 3 years into the NFL.
