It's like looking into the past

[O.city]

So watching these teams like the Dolphins that lose, then hearing the fans talking about "we need a difference maker at Tight End. We can't just throw to Hill and Waddle."

Or the Cowboys "We just need to get off to a better start, or get a difference coach in here".

It's the QB guys. The NFL is the haves and the have nots and when you are a have not......I don't know what to tell you.

I fell like it's the 90's and we're talking about the Chiefs.

Yeah, this weekend gave me some serious "Because Chiefs" PTSD.

Watching the Dolphins absolutely implode with some super elite talent that does almost nothing hit home pretty hard. (I'm looking at you Gonzo)

The Cowbitches while hilarious, felt familiar. Having a team that is obviously a fraud, beat on some bad teams, had a guy in the MVP discussion for a minute, and absolutely shit the bed front to back end to end. My GOD it's going to be a bad offseason for those ****s.

The Cleveland bed shitting felt exactly like the Marty Chiefs. Rolling into a game with an elite defense and all you need is not ass QB play, getting ass QB play and the defense getting rocked.

**** me I'm glad we're not that team(s) anymore.

It's familiar. Looking at the Dolphins winless playoff stretch I remembered we actually had two of those. From 70 through 90 and 94 through 14. That's crazy. But now we are on a 6 year run of winning every year. Because Mahomes.

Wow Dak is 31?

OP is correct. There are QBs that can get to the playoffs and QBs that get you thru the playoffs.

I don't know if he's the Favre/Rodgers successor, but the strides he's made from last year, hell, even early this year are remarkable. I was absolutely convinced he had no shot of sticking as a starter anywhere, now he's winning road playoff games. He will be very interesting to watch over the next few years.

Disagree. The switch came on for him about the time we lost to him. Him and the WRs have all continued to get better. That's good coaching.

Packers have a chance against the 49ers.

Great post. I had the same feeling watching the cowboys lose and thinking about what the dolphins are going through.


You have the regular season champ type teams that turn into chumps in the post season.


watching the Chiefs do that throughout my life was so frustrating, and I remember getting so excited at even a wild-card playoff chance... only to have the inevitable loss handed to us by a better team.



My God, Mahomes has us all spoiled.

It’s arguable that he had a better season in 2019 (500 fewer passing yards in 19, but 400 fewer yards rushing in 23), and that didn’t stop the Ravens from watching the wheels fall off their season even though they put up 550 yards of offense (508 of them from Lamar’s passing and running).

He has looked like more of a passer this season, but I could see either of the remaining opponents they may play next week give them an early out (Pittsburgh because divisional opponents in the playoffs are always difficult, and the Texans because they could keep up with the Ravens on offense)

Explains why Marty though Steve Bono or Elvis Grbac could win in the post-season.

Yep. and now winning 16-7 at half time on a frozen field with a stelklar D is not enough for us !! SPoiled!

Rodgers, Mahomes and Love were wild horses with technical flaws but high ceilings when they were drafted. Rodgers held the ball near his ear when he threw at Cal, Mahomes footwork needed work and Love had consistency issues from the mental side of the game.

Zach Wilson and Jordan Love are good case studies. Both similar types of prospects that had high potential and could make the throws. Difference is one went to sit and learn in a good environment and the other was deemed the savior immediately with high expectations to start in a shit environment the moment he stepped in the building which ruined his confidence.

Zach is also a jackass - attitude is absolutely contributing to his failings.
