Chiefs And Bills Both Get Byes

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow
Herbert
Lamar
Lawrence

I think you could make the case that other than Hurts, anyone in the NFC would take any of those guys over their starter.

I would add Rodgers from the NFC. A little long in the tooth but guy can still spin it.

Good take. I’m with you outside of Lawrence. I don’t think he’s quite there yet.

But I would take several NFC defenses over any AFC defenses. That will matter mor
Several is pushing it. Eagles and Niners are good but not the 85 Bears. Niners gave up 34 to LV with a backup qb last week. I would also rather face NFC qb’s on a regular basis.

He reminds me of Kirk Cousins, who Shanahan knows well from his days with the Redskins...I mean Commanders.

that's a good comp - both have quick releases and are quite accurate in the short and intermediate areas where Shanny's scheme picks you apart on all sorts of bootlegs nad play actions ... Kittle is doing work

That was an exception. They are #1 in pretty much every single defensive category. They have all pro guys at every level and the best defensive line in the league.

Rushing yards: #1
Passing Yards: #1
Scoring: #1
Interceptions: #1
Forced Fumbles: #1
3rd down defense: #1


But sure, LV.

They're the first team in NFL history where every single team they played lost the following week.

Let's not pretend this is an average defense.

They are NASTY ... great tacklers at every level ... some NFL games you just get scored on and that happened with the Las Vegas game - Davante Adams went to another planet and played like an alien in that contest.

I think the 49ers make the NFC championship game and you never know from there. I like the match up with Seattle, don't think they have the offense to scare the 49ers and the 49ers run game is only getting better.

While the article is true and impressive, it’s also deceiving. The week after the Chiefs beat them by 3 touchdowns in San Francisco they had a bye and then won the following week.

With McCaffrey and now Deebo back I don't think anyone in the NFC worries me that much.

They're just going to grind you to death. It's not flashy but they can still definitely score with regularity.

The only team that scares me is KC. Mahommes just has something that nobody else does (though we played him last with half or defense injured).

I like our chances to at least make the big game, but of course anything can happen week to week. Odds makers have us tied out of the NFC with the eagles.

Ok. It's never happened before in the history of the NFL and the article talks about that game. That was a game where several players were out with injury as well. The Niners defense is the best in the league by a good measure. Period.

I want to see Hurts do it another year. Still not sold on Lamar's accuracy either. I say it on here all the time. I am 52, and have been hearing how the running QB will revolutionize football. Until they start wining Super Bowls I won't believe it. Accuracy is the name ot the game in the NFL.

Mahomes? He's definitely very mobile.

But only rushed 4-5 times per game and Lamar is at least double that.

There's no doubt though that even the average modern QB is WAY more of a rushing threat than anyone in the 80s-90s.

Mobile, yes, but I don’t consider Mahomes a running QB. Lamar on the other hand is a running QB. I will put it this way. If you took away both’s ability to make yards running the ball, Mahomes is still elite. Lamar is not. I would consider Josh Allen more of a running QB than Mahomes. If anyone is going to turn the NFL on its head, it will be Allen.

Fair enough. But statue QBs are much more rare than ever when it used to be the only thing pretty much, agreed?
Montana, Marino, Elway, Manning, Farve (mostly), etc.... all statues.

I whole-heartedly agree. Justin Fields will be the next in that line of electric athletes who will always have questions about their passing ability.
