Chiefs shat themselves after Kelce got hurt. Embarrassing stuff and not at all on Smith. That unless Mahomes is absolutely lighting it up in practice, that should not be Smith's last game as a Chief.

Had a feeling the Falcons would turn the Rams over and think they've every chance of winning out in the NFC.

Blake Bortles is stinking the joint out so far. Tyrod Taylor not much better but at least Taylor can run.

And now Bortles has decided to just run it as well. It's like a harvard yale game from 1880.

Two teams getting nose bleeds from playing in January at the same time. Still waiting for a bit of a breakthrough. Even Carolina beating the Saints wouldn't be much of a shock given they made the Super Bowl two years ago.

I think that panthers saints game will be good.

I can't see it. Brady and belichick will get the ball out quick and the jags are poor enough v the run.

Bortles will have to play a lot better than today if they even want to get as far as the Pats.

All Nathan Peterman does is throw interceptions. Well done coach McDermott.

True. They are actually going to pittsburgh.

My bad.i thought they had to go to New England next week. Jags be hard to beat.but someone explain how that wasn't an incomplete pass?

Why are you having a go at McDermott there? Taylor was out and they had to throw it. Maybe wouldn't call an Out alright but I don't think I'd hang that on the coach.

As for Taylor, he's a poor thrower himself.

He's not a great thrower but as a QB he's so far ahead of Peterman it's not even funny. McDermott is only keeping his job because his insanity mid-season dropping Taylor didn't cost them a spot in the play-offs.

He's up shít creek without a paddle now with Taylor sure to walk, only a terrible rookie left on the roster and a poor draft position meaning they'll need to pay big to move up and grab a decent QB prospect in the draft. Mayfield in Buffalo looks the most attainable and he has big question marks hanging over his maturity.

I get all that. I thought you were blaming McDermott for the interception or for putting peterman in.

Because his arm was underneath the ball the whole time?
