KC VS Baltimore
-Mahomes is the Brady of this new generation, although far more athletic and far better arm strength. He can beat you in many ways and just doesn't get rattled. Only current QB who has that same trait is Joe Burrow, who is the only QB who has beaten Mahomes in the AFC.
-On the other hand, never have been impressed with Lamar Jackson as a passer. His accuracy is all over the place, decision making is very questionable and has this bad habit have going backwards when buying time in the pocket. Take away his legs, he isn't an NFL caliber QB in my opinion.
-As for the game itself, Baltimore was way too emotional and it hurt their team, believe 5 personal fouls. What in the world is Flowers doing taunting the Chiefs player? Boy, did we dodge a bullet not signing OBJ, who I thought was far better then this. Barely knew he played. What are the Ravens doing throwing 3rd and 1, when they have the best rushing offense in the league and have a 300lb FB leading the way?
-Tyreke Hill trade really helped improved the Chiefs Defense who is really good now. Not only did it allow them to keep Chris Jones, but players like Karlaftis, McDuffie and their young linebackers have taken this defense to the next level.
Lions VS 49ers
-Dan Campbell played a large part why the Lions lost the game. Two 4 down calls, when he clearly should of taken the points. It's one thing to be aggressive, another to be stupid. Team lost by 3 points and after the 49ers stopped them when it was 24-10, he changed the entire game.
-Think teams are starting to figure out Purdy as he cannot throw the deep ball. Sit on the underneath routes to have success. Thought Glenn playing his base defense was smart as they kept Mac in check for most of the game and dared Purdy to beat them. Give Purdy credit, his legs won them the game.
-Goff is a system QB and that's not a bad thing. He can win you a championship if everything around him to good. Excellent QB when he stays on his spot, but really struggles when he has to move. Also, thought he had some chances to run, but he chose against it. He wasn't the reason why they lost, but could play better.
-Josh Reynolds has to be sick to his stomach, with all those key drops. However, Lions are going to be a problem with all their young weapons and a healthy amount of cap space.
-What has happened to the 49ers run defense? Why didn't they blitz Goff more when he struggles against it?

My thoughts on Chiefs vs Ravens:
- Ravens got frustrated on both sides of the ball, – I dunno why coaches stop running the ball with the RBs(ala Edwards, Hill) and placed it totally in the hands of their MVP, vastly paid QB Jackson, and big key turnovers at the most critical time of the game per Ravens’ red zone ended up costing Ravens the game.
- Defenders lost their composure that totaled flags on the QB, personal fouls for head butts, taunting, blasting brutally thru the pre-snap, they began to unrattled, instead of composed to rally.
- Yes, L. Jackson is not the kind of pure passer that he can singlehandled beat the better defenses with his arm, hes’ at his best in combo
with his run skills. Chiefs contained that running- keep him in pocket, to force him to beat them pure pass wise.
- Killer end zone INT, but I thought Chiefs got away with a couple of key PI calls (one in that Lamar INT I the end zone) the other should have been on CB McDuffie but Flowers big fumble at the goal line was a killer. He’s also a kid in the NFL that lost his cool after a big splash play, and he’s hurting emotionally now & will grow to be a more disciplined player in future. He is utterly electrifying dynamite.
- TE Andrews return may have been hampered by long injury layoff.
- Beckham maybe on his last legs but he was able to streak for a TD for his lone catch . Ravens played well enuff defensively, they never
surrendered a single point in 2nd half,
- Ravens sought to use zone vs Mahomes and he diced them with Travis Kelsie per 11 catches – they could not contain him, and PM had
just enuff support help from Rice & Pacheo, and finally Valdez at end to seal the upset deal
