Miami played the Patriots in Foxborough, they typically lose there and the Pats typically play like shit in Miami.So, what happened to Miami stays in Miami? Nothing like getting raped in your own home, eh Dolphins?
I only saw the last few minutes. Just enough time for the Chiefs to come back. Mahomes is playing lights out. We'll see if it's sustainable though. The last few years the Chiefs have been hot for the first part of the season then fall flat. New cast of characters this time, so it could be different this year. Fun to watch though!
Fucking eastern time zone... I'm so tired from staying up to watch the game. I'm happy the broncos put up a fight since I figured they'd get trounced, but I'm sad they had opportunities that were lost. It feels less bad losing when the Chiefs made so many amazing plays to make it happen. That interception was great, and Mahomes' panicked left handed shovel pass to keep the drive going was just another example of some top level football and it's hard to stop that.
It wasn't even funny though. Miami couldn't get it's act together for nothing.Miami played the Patriots in Foxborough, they typically lose there and the Pats typically play like shit in Miami.

And you can't say it's heat-related since by the time they typically play in Miami it's cooled down enough to be bearable.I think they said on the broadcast Miami hasn't won in Foxborough since 2008. But yeah it's something like the Patriots are 7-8 in the Brady era in Miami.
You could sense Miller (and Co) were getting PISSED after time and again he just kept converting 3rd, 4th down on both those drives. I mean, (because of penalties) they were at 2nd and THIRTY and they converted, he now has 14 TD's and ZERO int's, that's just insane. Somewhat reminiscent of young Farve, except better arm strength and no dumb picks.Broncos should feel frustrated but not too bad. They have had the best game plan for Mahomes so far. And I think they have the talent to execute that gameplan. Its one they used to win the Super Bowl (when Cam Newton when he was near unstoppable) and stop modern Brady, as well as a fair amount of other QBs that have run roughshod. But I think the Broncos have lost enough talent, and the Chiefs defense stiffened when they really needed to, giving Mahomes enough time/opportunity to make things happen.
The thing is though, the Chiefs had started to own the Broncos even with Smith (Smith won the last 4 games he played against them). A lot of that is because Schwartz for some reason owns Von Miller, effectively nullifying his game changing capability.
He is. The rest of his team (except for a RB or two) isn't. He more than made up for offensively offensive penalties.
But this is the thing, Denver has a pretty good defense IMO, and they had a plan to try and contain Mahomes but unlike say Newton, although Mahomes is certainly fast enough to run for yds, his accuracy on throws while running full-tilt sideways is just nuts. Jax probably has the best set of CB's/LB's/ safeties in the game today, if he can make them look bad, watch out. It's just so tough to keep any receiver covered for that long there is no way to "game plan" for it. (I don't think anyway, we'll see).Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are a couple of the top players in the game at their respective positions. That being said the Chief's OL protection didn't seem to be holding up particularly well (thus why all those "wow" moment Mahomes scramble plays) and that doesn't bode well for their game v. JAX next week as their DEF is considerably better than DEN (still good but nowhere near its SB year peak).

Huh?, he had 14 TD's and ZERO picks, he most certainly "legit". All QB's would love the ability to throw with that kind of accuracy while running, this is not a "gimmick", it's talent, and gob's of it. Denver already knew he was going to do this and were ready, but he's fast enough to keep out from tackling quickly then burns you with a 18yrd rope-job (while running) on a 3rd and 7.Personally, I don't get too excited over young QBs flashing like this, this early. The second full year is when you really learn about a guy after the league catches up to him, learns his tendencies and what he likes to do and when.
I think next year we will know if Mahomes is legit for a certainty, though I am pretty positive he is.
Except he doesn't look fluke at all like RG3 did. He's playing smart and protecting the ball and his body.Personally, I don't get too excited over young QBs flashing like this, this early.

Yeah I started cousins and have goff on the bench. Going to be a tough decision next week....

The Packers didn't, ask me how I know.I think you missed his point. 14 TD with no picks is great and all, but that's the first 4 games of his career. Colin Kaepernick was just as great, just as electrifying, and just as cocky for about 4 games until the obvious was revealed. Until teams adjusted.
The Packers didn't, ask me how I know.
Yeah, then they lost the 49ers in the playoffs the next year.....Look man, that was the 4th game.
People seem to forget that Kaepernick started like, 2 games before those playoffs. The Packers game was, I believe, his 4th start ever. Yeah, he was damn good in the 2nd half post-delay of that superbowl, but he was absolute shit from game 1 of the next season and on.
Pros adjust. The league had an entire off-season to shut him down. ....it also helps that Kaepernick has no brains or vision on the field. Mahomes doesn't seem to have that problem.
Yeah, then they lost the 49ers in the playoffs the next year.....
Yeah, that's fair. It also bugs me that people seem to forget the year they won the it all they were actually better on defense than offense. As much as I love Rodgers, that follow up 2011 season seems to make everyone forget how it happened.Well hasn't GB lost every game 1 or 2 of the playoffs since winning the SB? McCarthy isn't really known for fielding a stingy defense in recent memory.
Bellichick and Brady lost to Lesser-Manning and Coughlin TWICE! Sometimes....someone just has your number, you know?
Look: if the worst thing that I get accused of in a football thread is "hyperbole," then I will consider that winning, OK?
