Not the best game for Mahomes last night. He was off. Throwing behind receivers. In front of them. Just missing by miles on a few occasions. But the defense was stellar & the offense did just enough to prevail 22-16 over the Broncos. Now 11-1. Cost me a pick in my Sportscenter game. Pick was Hill would have 40 + yards receiving in the first half which I figured was a gimme. He’s wide open for a long pass (way over 40) and probable TD on first drive and the ball is behind him. Vegas probably cleaned up again yesterday. Looking forward to the matchup in Miami in a couple of weeks. He might get the second half off in that one. GO DODGERS!!! |

Patrick always seems to have a receiver du jour. Last night was Travis Kelce. An embarrassment of riches. |

An embarrassment of riches. Damn - that game is NEXT Sunday in Miami. Watch the line on this one. Should be double digits for your Chefs, but could be very close if Miami can keep Mahomes on the bench for extended periods of time. GO DODGERS!!! |

Dolphins hung really tough & forced a lot of turnovers. KC eventually prevails 33-27. Mahomes was not sharp.

I’d have much preferred him spending the year on the bench and watching a veteran like Fitz run and learn (like KC did with Mahomes). They only scored 10 points off of four turnovers, one of which ended up COSTING them two points on the safety. KC scored a TD off the Tua interception. Miami needs to get more out of their red zone offense than field goals, which has been the case far too many times this year. GO DODGERS!!! |

Maybe they're waiting for the playoffs to turn it back on. Hope they can. |

So the NFL has given the AFC East title to the Bills with two games left in the season. They are 11 - 3, 4 - 0 in the division, 8 - 2 in conference and 3 - 1 out of conference.
Remaining games are against New England and Miami. If they lose both, they drop to 11 - 5, 4 - 2 and 8 - 4.
Miami is 9 - 5, 3 - 2 in division, 6 - 4 in conference and 3 - 1 out of conference. Remaining games are against Las Vegas and Buffalo.
If they win both, they would end up with the exact same record as Buffalo, 11 - 5, 4 - 2 and 8 - 4.
I believe the next tiebreaker is point differential, but that cannot be a factor yet with two games left.
Next is strength of schedule and Miami’s was one of the highest in the NFL & I’m certain higher than Buffalo’s.
Although highly unlikely, I think naming them division champs at this point might be premature.
GO DODGERS!!!

Phins and Fitzmagic pull of comeback game of the year. No reason whatsoever Tua should see a minute of playing time next week unless team is up by three or four TD’s in the fourth quarter next week against the Bills.
Still trying to figure how they got awarded Division title last week with two games still to go and with losses in both gives them the EXACT same record as the Phins in division, conference and non-conference.
Miami now 10 - 5 with their final game in Buffalo a week from tomorrow.
GO DODGERS!!!

Chiefs were damn lucky. A missed field goal saved them from going into overtime. They beat Atlanta 17-14.

I'm not sure if it's the staff keeping a lid on Tua or if Tua isn't that good. With the 3rd pick Miami might have to really consider drafting Wilson or Fields. |

If they do I hope they take it all the way, sorry. I'm rooting for Brees though and the Rams but Goff has been bad this year. 49ers in '21 baby! |

I'm not sure if it's the staff keeping a lid on Tua or if Tua isn't that good. With the 3rd pick Miami might have to really consider drafting Wilson or Fields. I don’t see them drafting another QB - they seem to think Tua is the real thing and only needs a few additions to the O line and a couple of speed receivers. I’m not convinced and felt they should have let Tua sit all year and learn from Fitz (ala Mahomes). He looked very tentative in most of the games I watched, despite going 6 - 3. If Fitz starts that game in Denver, Miami is in the playoffs, although they’d likely be playing the Bills again this week and if Tua couldn’t beat their second and third stringers last Sunday, imagine how he’d fare against Allen and the first string for three or four quarters. I was not a fan of the pick to begin with. His injury history is well documented and seriously, can anyone name a SINGLE player from the state of Hawaii who ever become an NFL star? Mariotta? Yeah - for a year or two. He’s now playing backup for the Raiders, who are terrible and he can’t even beat out a subpar Carr for QB1. I believe Miami will take Devonta and address their line, and maybe both another receiver and / or RB. Their defense was pretty sound most of the year, although they had a few stinko games as well. I’d have loved to see them trade last years #1 pick for multiple later rounds picks and stockpile the O line and other needs and have those guys with a year under their belts before taking Lawrence overall #1 this year. Kid is going to suffer and languish in Jacksonville, but I guess that beats going to the dreadful Jets. At least it’s warm in Jacksonville most of the year. GO DODGERS!!! |

While I agree that Tua needs help along the O- line and Wide Out Fitzpatrick made it go more smoothly. It could be that they were babying him because most of his throws were short and check downs. Nothing or hardly anything over 20 yards. Flores seems to be a good coach and the defense plays very well but I thought that they either should have let Tua sit or opened it up and see what they have. It's going to be a tough division going forward. The Bills are back, Belichick is Belichick and if the Jets draft a QB with a good coach they might make some noise. I think it would be wise to trade down from 3 pick up an additional pick(s) and then draft an O- lineman and WO unless of course you have that Tackle that you can't pass up. Lawrence is a good QB but I don't like what they're doing anymore. Clemson is a powerhouse now and they still run a gimmick offense in comparison to Ohio St. and Alamaba. They do gimmick runs and runs and throws. They act like they need to outsmart other schools when they should just lineup and go toe to toe. I don't know that Lawrence will have success day 1 in the NFL because that stuff that Clemson runs would get eaten alive. |

There are reports today that Deshaun Watson would waive his no- trade clause to be swapped with Tua. |
