It's astonishing on how they find ways to win and that's what pisses me off with them. They're gonna go on YET ANOTHER long winning streak only to do jack shit in the playoffs.

That seems to be the trend right? You know i've been thinking, alex smith has been playing better because he actually feels pressure from maholmes. Im thinking they win 12-13 games and then alex lays a big deuce in the playoffs again and they lose by 3 points to the steelers again probably.

But that the strange part about all of this? He feels that this is his last season in KC? If he balls out, best believe his agent's phone will be ringing the moment he becomes a FA.

Alex Smith is actually playing well because Andy Reid is smart offensive coach who knows exactly how he wants his team to play and has brought in good players who fit that system nicely.
His offense is not just an afterthought.

I imagine so, personally if im kansas i'd trade him for some high picks at the deadline though.
He let go the few decent recievers he had in the offseason and kansas has always had a stagnant offense, mostly in part to smith throwing short passes.

All is back to normal in the world, Cowboys will be happy to make it 8-8 this year if they keep this up.
Palmer has absolutely tore them apart so far.

Cardinals are too which is resulting in a bad game. Palmer's age caught up to him last year and he's worse this year. I just cant wait to see which older QB will be the new Cardinals QB, Drew Brees or Philip Rivers in 2018.

It doesnt help in fairness that the card O line is as bad as the LOLts

OL Play is down league wide, for some odd reason the league has decided to come together in support of bad offensive line play. Now maybe it's the lack of playing together in the preseason so the chemistry isn't there yet, lack of practice from the current CBA who knows. This is just the worse I have seen offensive lines in years.
Except mahomes probably isn't a starter for at least this year and probably 2 years so there's no point trading smith away for at least a couple of years

Its worth the risk, smith doesn thave much of a contract left and he doesnt do anything when its crunch time. Id cash in now.
Yeah, no. The notion that you were literally the only one who didn't berate Dallas and didn't praise Elam is a comical overstatement. I can state for a fact that I was relaying significant concerns about Elam weeks before the draft. I certainly don't recall ridiculing the Frederick selection, mostly because I didn't watch enough of his tape at the time.
I remember laughing when they picked Frederick. But it wasn't because I didn't think he was a good player. I thought he was by far the top center in the class and one of the top lineman in general. I just thought it as a reach because most analysts had his value as round two to three.

Well that is the most unique touchdown celebration I've ever seen. Problem is I can't un-see it.

It was widely panned by the analysts, so I can understand that. I definitely found the aforementioned aspect of the selection to be interesting. As far as actually criticizing, I typically err on the side of caution when I haven't done the homework. I recall Mike Mayock stating that Mike Mitchell was a laughable reach for the Raiders in 2009, as he had a 7th round grade on the former 2nd rounder, I initially bought into the opinion in my mind off of that comment. Meanwhile, Mitchell has been able to carve out a decent career for himself, so it's difficult to fully buy into the assessments of even the analysts whom we commonly listen to.
