Wonderful, but "someone left a flake out in the rain" is a first ballot HOF line. I have to find somewhere to use the Carthage after the 3rd Punic War line, too
The unspoken truth about the Chiefs is they are now a defensive team. It’s been that way since last year, especially in the playoffs. This Chiefs team is more like those early 2000s Patriot teams-clutch quarterback play for sure but overall a defensive team.
Can Travis Kelce be featured for 13 regular season games plus the playoffs? He was great last year when it mattered because they kept him on the shelf for the regular season.
Go easy on the Steelers' QB situation. Justin has played fine so far!
I cannot believe that the best QB in the NFL through four weeks is a rookie. Either the fall back down to Earth will be precipitous, or there's a legitimate chance we're looking at the best rookie QB of all time.
The Sam Darnold comeback story was so predictable. A man who played so well for the Carolina Panthers moving to the high powered Vikings? I'm surprised more people didn't see this coming. Minnesota tried to mess it up for themselves by inserting JJ McCarthy into the mix, but they got lucky with his injuries. You're probably right that the irresistible allure of tanking will continue to draw teams in though.
Mid CJ Stroud holds down elite Texan offence. Same script, different season.
What about the Baltimore Ravens? When their defence plays great, they win. If they don't, they lose. It's been the same pattern for a while now, but when your defence is capable of shutting down the Buffalo Bills in that way, I guess it's not a bad pattern to have.
Can we all admit Brock Purdy is for real yet? Come on guys. Be honest with yourselves. That SF defence has been a bit nightmare inducing, but that offence is going right on along, no matter how many weapons its lost. Eventually there comes a time to look at the common denominator here...
Lots of meh in the middle of the NFC this season. Aside from the Vikings, the whole conference has been meh in the middle so far. Perhaps this is just the case for the whole league except for Minnesota. I just can't see the Chiefs keeping up their balancing act. I'm not ready to admit Jayden Daniels is the best QB in the NFL. Tampa Bay looked lost against the horrendous Denver offence. Houston will be held back by their mid QB play. So will Pittsburgh, and that takes care of most of the teams above .500 right now.
One positive thing for Denver is in the last 3 games their defense has surrendered a total of 29 points. If they can just hold all of their opponents to 10 points every time, that would give the offense entire games to score 11 points.
I thought this is going to be 2000 words per team. Get back to work! ;)
I don't know what it is but "Leftenant Beauregard Sideways" makes me crack every time I read it
Especially when they rotated him 90 degrees clockwise. Twice!

The first MacArthur Park reference that I am now getting. I don't thinknthat i can take it. Because it took so long to bake it.
Mike, was that a reference to MacArthur Park there?
Yes, and now the damn thing is stuck in my head
The strange voice of Richard Harris.
The strange trumpet of Maynard Ferguson. Also got the strange voice of Nigel Tufnel stuck in my head
Donna Summer, for me

Oh great teams. Where art thou?
That is my reaction every year.

I doubt "breathtaking literary talent" is best illustrated by a MacArthur Park knockoff...the Punic wars reference, however...
“Andy Reid for Emperor of Earth.” Agreed!
You have successfully captured the Mafia experience. I have seen more "fire McDermott" posts in the last 48 hours that I thought possible.
That said, he did make some bad decisions.
The Baltimore game very neatly summed up my feelings about the Bills going into the season.
