Newton will start for the Commanders tomorrow. One heck of a challenge for a rookie against Saquon!

For the love of God, how many 2-pt conversions are the Bills going to attempt and whiff on tonight?

I dunno… looks like a good catch to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

At the risk of triggering the "Chiefs get all the calls" brigade (I'm a Packers fan, so no dog in the fight at all - in fact, I would have rather seen the Bills win to have a new Super Bowl matchup), I at least don't think there's enough in these videos to overturn a catch on the field. Had the onfield call been incomplete, I'd still say "call stands". The hand is around the ball, the ball is pinned against the chest. I've seen inbounds/out of bounds calls like this ruled as a good catch, so I can at least understand the ruling on the field of a catch in this situation.

Unfortunately, once people get a good narrative or conspiracy theory in their heads it's really hard to eliminate it. It's just the world of 2025. I'd love to return to a world of rational thought, statistics, looking at both sides of a situation, but I don't think we're every going back.

Probably the best move for Nate at this point in his career.

That's my take as well. Jacksonville is a dumpster fire until proven otherwise, and while the title would have been a promotion he wouldn't have been calling plays there with Coen as the head coach. Better to stay in LA with McVay doing a lot of the "OC mule" work and either look for a good situation to be the "OC not calling plays" or look for a chance to be a play-caller.

Chiefs 31-24, even though I'd be more than fine with that being reversed. I think it's going to be a game very similar to the AFC Championship game, and I actually think the Chiefs defense will come up with enough big plays to win. They always seem to make a big play defensively when it's really needed to at least give Mahomes a chance.
