2019 NFL Season Thread

So of these that presumably means 49ers vs Chiefs, Titans or Texans? Clearly I want the Seahawks, I'd like the Chiefs or Titans to get there.

Sentiment seems to tell me that the Packers can pull it out ... I think that Aaron has a bit more experience than Jimmy at making the big throw and play that counts ... unless SF has the ability to just run the ball and keep Aaron off the field ... which would make this game more interesting I imagine.

On the AFC side, I'm glad to see that coach FINALLY left his foot in the gas, instead of pulling it off which was his bad rap ... Andy Reid always seemed to slow down his team instead of just letting it play ... and this time, it let them play, and play they did until the whistle finally died for the night! I'm not sure that the titans can keep up with KC in the scoring machine business, although I think that Derrick Henry's turn at 180 years is probably going to slow down ... I have a feeling that if KC is up 21-0, or even 14-0 ... that Henry's day will be about over ... sadly enough!

I'm abstaining for a choice ... however, I keep thinking that Andy Reid deserves big one.

I'll watch this game, I'm sure!

Aaron Rogers, what is up with him......He was so off yesterday. There was that 3rd and 3 where he had Graham wide open not covered easy 1st down and more and he slings it left to the RB for 1-2yd gain, bring on the punt team. Terrible!!

The latest MOGWAI album (KIN) has a song for ELI! Pretty one, too!

I'm going 28-17 with SF getting a parade.

I really did not see Mahomes as the MVP but someone has to get it I suppose. And still, NFL officials struggle with some calls.

For my version of things, I kinda think that a defense is only as good as the adjustments that folks make to get past it ... today, the Steelers curtain of old would get swallowed up so fast by speed, it is not funny. 

Defenses, today, are only as good as they are capable of making adjustments to the quarterback and the calls being made ... but I'm not sure that SF lining up halfway through the 4th quarter, EXACTLY the same way as they did in the 1st quarter is a smart move ... an experienced, and smart coach, will eventually break that up, and Andy Reid did! At the beginning of the 4th quarter one of the things I said is that KC had to throw at the far corners left and right, which were open ... Sherman was playing close to the line, his strength, but that left a massive gap behind him ... and that meant 4 linemen, 3 others behind them, and Sherman close to the line, and you only got 2 folks behind it all ... and it becomes a matter of finding the right angles and combinations ... and it doesn't take too many tablet views to know what they have to do ... but I think that SF thought they could bother Mahommes enough to make a difference, and it didn't ... once he started finding one player 25 yards down, he knew that he could go after some more, and did ... and that is when SF did not adjust ... the far ends were still open.

KC's defense simply started to show that they had done their homework and that the plays were duplicating again and again ... and that means a good defense will have the ability to make the adjustments necessary to improve on that end ... and KC did just that ... and SF probably should have opened up a couple more long throws, but almost the whole game every thing was dinkadink ... to try and keep the ball away from KC.
